#when you grow up feeling like the underdog you're gonna relate to the underdog characters more

Very interesting to see the results, thank you to everyone who participated!

I always got the impression that Leo and Raph were the fan favorites, with Leo being the leader and Raph being the edgy lancer (there's a reason they're the A team). Even Mikey being the goofball face of the series felt like he'd have more of a shot than Donnie, who people have viewed as the boring one for being a nerd and fighting with a stick.

But I forgot that we're on tumblr, so this is definitely a case of user bias. People who use tumblr and like TMNT are not often the same as the demographic of young boys who the shows are typically marketed to, or the men who have now grown up after watching the series as a child. They're the ones I got that impression from, so it makes sense that the blogging site full of quirky tumblrinas instead chose the autistic-coded nerd as the fan favorite (myself included).

No nuance, who is your overall favorite ninja turtle?
