  • 80's splinter was only a teacher but the 00's was a father.

    80's april was sexier and more beautiful than the 00's one but she was'nt as smart as her she can't even protect her self

  • I do prefer 2003 April for the same reasons you said here, but she learnt how to fight WAY TOO fast...

  • i would of went spilter from 2003

  • u say how dare she too much

  • lol their eyes when they get a draw

  • I wish I could choose brains over boobs to ...

  • You probably should have mentioned that in her scene with the armwrestling match, the Silver Sentry lost on purpose because she baked him cookies. A better clip to show her badassery probably would have been the one where she shut up Casey's skepticism by turning out the lights and beating him to the ground.

    Also, I think she's equally hot. Classic April has bigger boobs, but they almost look frighteningly unreal. Also, new April had her Jungle outfit.

  • I like how when you call a DRAW and you have the sad eyes on all the turtles, all except 2k3 Raph. Angry eyes. hehe. Love 2003 Raph! Less talk, more action!!

  • I like new April better since she's only the damsel in distress like... Once...

  • 2003 April is a better character but 1980's had a better design by far.

  • I dont think you can sue over hair styles.... its up to the fans to accept the character in that case.

  • Old splinter had a better backstory IMO, at least the begining where he was human first... if his 2003 story came in with the rat finding turtles then it works. It made more sense. I mean the 2003 basically said he was a super intelligent rat.

  • Comment removed

  • Is it gay if I say that Splinter's normal rat form from 2003 looks cute!

  • Wait... Some guys want brains ovr boobs?... I LIKE U ALREADY!

  • WHAT THE FUCK! WHAT GUY DOSN'T LIKE BOOBS. fuck

  • @herono86 the point was that he was hoping the classic april to be a much more activte person as oppose to always being a sterotypical damisel in destress and sex icon

  • 2k3 splinter by a whisker

  • The new April's look makes more sense too. I mean why exactly did the old April wear a yellow jumpsuit, what was the point? You could say fan service but isn't TMNT a kid's show?

  • its funny the things you don't notice as a kid, I never realized how suggestive old April really was (for a kids cartoon) :}

  • Although I agree with most of the decisions these videos are making, I'm going to veto giving the point to the new April.

    As an engineer, with an adequate amount of brains, I prefer boobs. haha

  • in the comic book,both stories happend.

  • also 2 voice actors of the 1987 tmnt spoke as two of the characters from the little mermaid 2.

  • i do prefer brains over B00BS but i want both

  • @FawkesPaw there is an episode in the 2003 series where april descises herself as a news reporter and she weres a yellow jump suit. Sorry I can't remember which episode it was...

  • @girfan811 Secret origins

  • the 2003 April is by far the superior character but to be truthful i would like to see a cameo of the old yellow jumpsuit. :)

  • Comment removed

  • @FawkesPaw There is one in Secret Origins Part 3.

  • @FawkesPaw There was a cameo of the yellow jumpsuit in one episode (I think it was one of the ones where theyre in the TCRI building).

  • @FawkesPaw In one of the "Search for Splinter" episodes she went in disguise as a news reporter, and she wore a yellow jump suite.

  • @FawkesPaw That actually happened in Secret Origins. :)

  • I prefer the new April more since she can kick some ass. Sure I like hot babes but I also like them if they can defend themselves.

  • i like the old april, its more nostaglia, from watching the old episodes

  • I love the big eyes you give the pictures when you make a draw! xD

  • I resepct the idea of Splinter being Yoshi because it makes more sense, but newer Splinter seems to be more fatherly, which I like even more. But I like both

  • Raphael was named after a sculpture

  • @1128nesecret the real Raphael is actually a painter & Donatello and Michaelangelo are sculpturists.

  • @1128nesecret then what was don named after

  • lol brains over boobs....thats just weird.

  • >taking brains over boobs

    YOU CAN'T SUCK ON BRAINS!

  • New Splinter is better but I like both of them.

  • The new April is hotter then the old one IMO she is aslo cool funny and smart unlike the old bimbo, I mean sure she helps the turtles out but other then that she is kind of useless.

  • I agree with everything you said about new April. While not my favorite character from the 2k3 series, she my favorite change from the old series

  • I like Splinter's 2k3/comic/movie back story more than the classic cartoon's. For some reason I just hate the idea of Splinter originally being a human, and I feel like the 2003 cartoon gives Splinter's character a much more interesting dynamic as being both a father and a teacher to the turtles.

  • I love it in April's comparison when she beats Silver Sentry. The all look at her like she was crazy or something.

    Even Usagi and Gen looked at her like "What the fuuuuuuuuuuuuccccccccckkkkkk..­..........???????????"

  • Maybe I go too much to 2003 serie's side, but I like 2003 Splinter and April more.

    Reasons: it's sounds more natural that 'cause Turtles are mutated turtles (duh!), Splinter is mutated rat. And it's lovely when he act cool, but you still can tell he loves Turtles.

    New April I like more 'cause she's a badass too and smarter and not so helpless than 87's April. And I actually like her new look, especially her clothes.

  • "I'll take brains over boobs any day." No you wouldn't.

  • Why didn't you compare...Oh god...What was he called...The scientist robot from a different planet...He was in the comics,I think he was in the old series...What's he called,does anybody know?

  • @PoPfan108SW Professor Honeycutt aka the Fugitoid

    I love him, especially when he had to delete some of his memory to fit into Don's Handheld.

    Mikey: Professor Honeycutt, you're okay.

    Prof. Honeycutt: Sorry, do I know you?

  • @PoPfan108SW Do you mean professor Honeycutt?

  • @Punkkis90 Yeah.

  • what happened to the sound? i was watching the near end and the sound went down

  • modern splinter is cool, but I HATE the old splinter, he acts realy wiered

  • sooo splinter is jesus

  • old April saved the turtles from time to time. The new one I thought was annoying, it's the fact that the ninja turtles have spent their life time mastering their art where it takes April only a couple of months or less and is already taking down baddies from the get go as well as being a human being.

  • @AdamGomez87 well they're turtles, so they only have 3 fingers \: i can easily see why the new april learned and improved quicker than amphibians..

  • @AdamGomez87

    she could take down some "baddies" beacause

    1.shes a human so she learns faster

    2. shes took less took less time to learn martial arts so shes weaker the turtles are stronger an have more experience than her

  • Comment removed

  • You never got to Usagi.

  • Out of all the versions of the character I like the movie version the best because she seems to be a perfect balance between the two versions.

  • @woollybully100 Same here.  Plus, she was the most realistic in her behavior.

  • matching them. Persoanlly I think she should be more of an Oracle (from Batman)-type of character using her reporter connections to help the turtles with the info they need. Also I call bullcrap on her being stronger than Raph and Casey and being able to slam a SUPERHERO'S arm so hard he slams into a wall, I have nothing against women but thats like assuming Hilary Swank can beat Mike Tyson.

  • Time for the controverisal point, I like classic April more personally, and no its NOT because of the boobies.

    I think u short changed her when u said she ONLY helped if she got a story out of it, there were many times she helped and got nothing in return. I don't like the idea of April becoming a ninja master and being able to go into battle w/ the turtles, I don't mind her knowing enough to defend herself but the Turtles are suppose to some of the greatest fighters ever with few humans....

  • I like the classic splinter more mainly because he didn't get involved as much so that made the episodes where he did get involved even more awesome, I say the ending of Enter the Fly has one of the best crowning moments of awesome when he comes in at the end guns on the van a-blazing,

    Raphael-"Master Splinter, I thought you didnt know how to drive!"

    Splinter-"It is amazying what one can do when one is forced to!"

  • wahhhhht. the old tmnt is shutting down the new one. i def wouldnt watch the new one. good review.

  • I tell you a scary (and kind of hot) thought! A new April that is as hot as the 80s April, but as smart and skilled as the 2k April, Now THAT is an April I wanna see!

  • I vote for New Splinter over the old one. He had a better origin story. To me, Splinter being a rat from the beginning made the best story...

  • Actually, I find it kinda funny that you didn't mention the stab the new April did at the old April. In the episode where the turtles were in the TCRI building (or whatever it was called), new April jumped out of a news van, had on a yellow jump suit with credentials and she made a stab about how she would never do that again. Yeah, mad props to new right there*nods*

  • April should have the boobs of the old cartoon., but the brain of the new cartoon, thats for the best.

  • @supermariologanrules I agree. Personally, I liked the the Splinter is Yoshi idea in the classic Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

  • My other comment, forget it. I was sleepy. The new April is what we all want in a woman, independent, strong and smart. Thumbs up for the new April. ( I still like the classic one better)

  • The 1987 April was hot and was one of the major reasons that we watched the 1987 Turtles. The 2003 April was kick ass, but wasn't really hot until after the Fast Forward saga and into the Back to the Sewers series. I would pick April Oneil from the 1987 series, because she may have been the damsel in distress a lot burt she did do four things: She was hot, She made the yellow jumpsuit more sexy, She gave the turtles more credit and fame by being a reporter and she helped bring in more ratings.

  • @FluffMaster101 Really, with catch phrases such as "What a (insert adjective) story!", "I owe you one" (used also in a video game, "HEELLLLLPPPPP!!", and her signature "This is April O 'Neil, for Channel 6 News", that is another thing that is memorable. Even classic Splinter has a signature phrase: "Thank you my Turtles". When people dress up as April today, they'll most likely base off of the Fred Wolf/Archie version. Splinter is more debatable. But I felt that the new April was too Arielish.

  • @pannoni1 Believe it or not, in the second issue of the comics, April is introduced on a TV screen reporting to Baxter. She isn't really a reporter there, but I see how Fred Wolf came up with the idea. Also, issue 7, a little before the original cartoon started, mentions a "news center 6 eyewitness news", basically the origin of the "Channel 6" concept. Those two ideas seemed to meld together to create April the channel 6 reporter and can't be bashed upon as there was SOME tie to the comics.

  • The classic April is hot XD but I guess the new one has a better personality . and thats whats important...right?

  • @1805902349 i no like what were u thinking? the new splinter was way better an way more interesting.

  • The only problem I have with the 2K3 Splinter is that sometimes he's badass and can fight all 4 turtles but other times can't fight at all being helpless...Were the original is more consistant

  • this round, is a DRAW! that was fuckin epic

  • Loved the April and Ariel comparison bit.

  • well I think the April in the classic series had brains and was really sexy but I really don't think she put her self trouble on purpis it's just a bunch of bad guys wanted to kill the turtles not just the Sherder and so they would hurt one of friends of the turtles to do it and always tried to help the turtles anyway she could and I think new one sucks cause she is not nice at all and she didn't seem like she cared alot the way the classic April even though she was not very smart

  • is that music in the background from the beginning from the 2k3 games?

  • ...depends on how big the boobs are...and if she's smarter than me or not. Sorry, but I couldn't date an ugly chick that was more intelligent than me.

    Man I sound sexist...I'm not, though. A nice mix in between would be nice.

    Don't hate me for liking boobs. :'(

  • what's up with the feminist bronx-like speech ??

  • I actually prefer April from the movies. That version was the most realistic and was a good blend of the two animated versions.

  • Two of my three favorite versions of Splinter.=3

    That's why I liked the Classic April best... in "April Foolish". She managed to escape a few times and ACTUALLY kicked a little ass in that episode.

  • YAY!!!!!! usagi is my fav character in the whole ninja turtles series thank you for doing usagi!!!!! :D

  • To be honest, I remember an episode in which Splinter Hypnotizes Shredder so that he obtains Michelangelo's personality when he hears that name and reverts back to his normal mental state when someone says Shredder, which seems weird as I think he fixed that in the end. This was the same episode in which he hypnotizes Michelangelo to eat pizza no more.

  • @heroshadow42 I always wonder how Splinter learned about hypnosis. Also, I found it funny that twice Splinter hypnotized Michelangelo, but, was reluctant to hypnotize Leonardo in the Snake Attacks episode. His reasoning was that if the hypnotic effects wore off, Leonardo would be in grave danger, which, I think was false. I think that the real reason Splinter refused to hypnotize Leonardo was because Leonardo cannot be hypnotized.

  • AWWWWWW! The baby turtles look so cute!

  • Oh, man! I'm with you till now, but you've missed to show the 'new April' ' s cameo to the old one... you KONW what I'm talking about.

    "Maybe in an another life"

    That part was great ;_;)

    Anyway, HAIL for the new April, but I was more happy if they had been given to her such a wonderful brain and stuff inside a sexy, pretty faced body.

    This one is too masculine for my own taste.

    (sorry for my english: it's not my language)

  • anyone know what episode it was that April beat silver sentry at arm wrestling?

  • @dragoscilvio It was the episode where Michalanglo tried to save Christmas and his kitten, Klunk. Michaelanglos Christmas Rescue.

  • Yeah.. the original April does look like Ariel, but, alot angrier though.

  • Would have been better if new and old April were mixed. April in the new series is just another Kill Bill wanna be characters that plagues movies and comic books now as the old April was subject to character stereotyping in the 80's. And neither April resembles anything about the comic book April other than being a scientist. They are both bad but the new April is more far off than the comic book April was unless you are going by the Archie comics.

  • LOL I love your videos. :)

  • Omfg I fudgn Lol'd wen yu wer saying how dare she nd blah blah blah...dat was hilarious

  • Here's a plothole nobody brought up with the classic Splinter. If the mutagen has gene splicing abilities, forcing a person to turn into any animal they had recent physical contact with, I can buy the turtles becoming humanoids, but shouldn't Yoshi have turned into a turtle himself? He had to touch the turtles in order to get the mutagen on him.

  • i go for k3 splinter

  • what episode is 1:03 from?

  • Don't understand why most fan would like classic, she alway a damsel in distress, want to get a good story. The April in 2k3 was more useful, she was suppose to be a sister figure to turtles on the original comic.

  • Too bad April wasn't real to begin with. :( I mean in the actual series.... I'm referencing that Pen with the crystal tied to it.

  • 5:12

  • Great Video!

  • "i'd take brains over boobs any day " i wish more guys would think like you

  • the new show got the backstory wrong if u wanna say the new one is more like the comic book. When they were small they all had red masks.

  • why in the english language, the "K" represents thousand?

  • @horaciosi In the metric measuring system the word "Kilo" equals one thousand, which just so happens to start with a K.

  • New April ROCKS MY SOCKS! And y'know what.....new April IS hotter. Brains are sexy.

  • tsk tsk, boobs should of sealed the deal.

  • i like the 2003 splinter and april way better.

    4:09 and disney didn't sew why.

  • I often thought that classic cartoon April was like the Daphne Blake (from Scooby Doo) of that show. Like Daphne, she was always getting her ass in deep shit. I even said that when I wrote my blog that was a tribute to TMNT in honor of their 25th anniversary.

    I like April as a character either way.

  • you say how dare like a fucking fan boy fing loser

  • old april's boobs! BOOBS!!!

  • both april were cool but personally i prefers bimbo...

  • I personally prefer the 03 Splinter since he didn't need to rescued so much like the old one.

  • go old TMNT

  • Ha he made a dick move, but u just sound like a fanboy dick fullstop. The guy is only expressing an opinion. And he has a point.

    The old April is just a bimbo, the new april is closer to the comic counter part and more respectable.

    Which makes me think why do sum people perfer the old april, Nostaglia or is it just them being fantasy nerd boys, just like to see her get into trouble.

    I'm all up for people having different opinions, but not if it's just baisty with no real valid defense.

  • Fanboys are just cunts.

    I notice many 87 cartoon fanboys r just elitist fucks. With no real valid opinions of y hate the new show. It's just out of baisty. Like a old man refusing to use a cell phone. They hate it coz they think their show was first, when u tell them of the comics and how the new show it more true to it, they pretend not to here u, abit like a retarded child. Who didn't get the toy they wanted for xmas.

  • Now I too like many grew up in 80s and watched both and enjoyed both and the original comics.

    I noticed though 87 fanboys r more of elitist dicks than 2003 show fanboys.

    This obviously doens't apply to all, I'm a fan of 87 and 2k3 show. I know people who like 87 but not 2k3 but respect if enough, to acknowledge people have different opinions.

    And obviously 2k3 fans can be baise too twats. But I notice most of the fanboy hating comes from the 87s side.

    Peace!

  • @TheBboyplayer08 I prefer old April bcuz she reminds me of more on the lines of Loise lane, Just about everyone can fight in the new generation? Can't they b original in there on way with their own special strengths? Even if it was a bit stereotypical type back then?

  • That gets on my nerves too. The whole "its funny to insult and ridicule" men is getting old, i've pretty much given up TV due to it, not to mention the 100lb stick thin woman with no muscle beating up a guy who could snap her like a twig *coughMillaJovovichcough*

  • I dig the 2003 Splinter and April. In turtles forever Splinter has the same look from the 2007 movie and April wears a yellow tracksuit like the one Bruce Lee wears in Game of Death.

  • April was a lame character in both shows. Just a character to build a few plot points and really more of annoyance. If the new show kills her off they get my vote.

  • Old Aprils more likely to get the turtles killed, and she cares more for her job , new april kills old one . But the were nice and she was hotter , but you can't just have looks .

  • "Brain over Boobs any day" So much wrong with that lol.

    Old april for the win!

  • No there isn't. Believe me, I've learned to take brains over boobs... I learned the hard way boobs aren't everything.

    New April wins for being a smarter non-damsel in distress.

  • I like both Casey and April in the 2k3 one they where not over played as much but got a little action. While the old April had beauty the new one had Brains and brawn being trained by splinter. I liked the friendship April and Donny had in the new one since they had the most in common.

  • OMG thank you. and her personality is bland there is nothing that stands out about her other then her deeds. she's a generic feminist character. and its crazy because I'm a woman and you would think I would like that, but only when its needed. the new April could use a personality upgrade.

  • that was meant to be a thumbs up.

  • oh it was? hm

  • here is a question. why do they keep making her a redhead since she was never a redhead in the original comics? and even though 2003 April is more developed. I don't know why but I hate her. I hate her design and I hate her dull personality. I like how selfish the classic April was...a true New Yorker lol

  • Agreed on both here. Splinter is a hard choice since he does play the same type of role and is great in both series. April I couldn't agree more. I was not a fan of the original April, being a female I did not like that the main female in the show as a joke and could not stand up for herself. You'd think with getting in trouble so much she'd try to learn to defend herself. I felt like the only TMNT fan who did not like her back than.

  • i always thought the new april was hotter

  • im suprised these videos don't spawn flamewars. =o

  • I'm starting to hate your voice, more when you are ranting about the classic cartoon fanboys, it gets really high and.... nerdy.

    I'm not as big a fan so maybe there is alot of them in the fandom and they might be really vocal and stupid in thier views of the different series, but do you need to let the hate flow for them that much?

    Apart from that, it's a pretty decent personal comparison series.

    The editing of the videos is good.

  • I wish you'd showed the 2K3 TMNT scenes with April dressing as classic April. I'm a die hard TMNT fan and love both shows in different ways, and you seem to feel the same way.

  • April O'Neil, from the old show was hot, and I loved the yellow jumpsuit, but she was mostly a plot device, for the TMNT to get into action. In fact, whenever I see an old episode nowadays, I shout "plot device" the moment April O'neil sets up the TMNT to run into action and move the plot.  The new April was a better developed character and just as hot.

  • Truth be told, April from the first show is much less sexy then the new one. And I just love the new splinter. He's amazing! ;]

  • 2003 splinter is like bruce lee

  • Nah, more like Pat Morita, who was the actor of Arnold from Happy Days, and most notably, Mr. Miyagi.

  • Hey man! Great videos!! Just as a note it would be nice that would have added that the new 2003 April did disguise herself as the old April in sort of a joke reference in order to help the turtles, in the Episode "Secret Origins III" for the TMNT 2003 3rd Season.

  • I don't really agree on April part of your video but you did say this was your opinion so I'm fine with it man.

  • Think about this;in the comic and 80's series they said shredder's a human and was in the same ninja clan as yoshi while in the 2k3 series Shredder's a utrom so they tip the scale on the tmnt series but adding a irma like character like irwin would balance would balance the scale and that my point.

  • i see your point there. but MY point is that there wasnt an Irma in the original comics, so why should she be in 2k3 and not say, bebop or rocksteady?

  • they did make a bebop and rocksteady character.if you remember tmnt 2003 episode 'Samurai Tourist' we see Gen wearing a outfit that make him look like rocksteady while a assassin who try to kill leo look kinds like bebop so they did make a bebop and rocksteady character in the 2k3 series.

  • except he wasnt anything like rocksteady, except for the fact that he was a talking rhino. you keep sidestepping my question. there wasnt an Irma in the original comics, so why should she be in 2k3?

  • Comment removed

  • In the episode Lone Raph and Cub, the boy's mother bears a resemblance to Irma.

  • you know who the creaters forgot to put in the 2003 series,a Irma or Irma like character and i thought of the new character myself.

    is name's Irwin Langinstein and like Irma he talks in a nasal voice and can't found a date.He works in April antique shop and wear Big glasses similar to Irma but are black.

  • whats the point?

  • Think about it;in the 1987 version they was Irma who was friend's with April and works at channel 6 news while my madeup character Irwin works in April's Antique,and like Irma has a nasal voice and can't found a date and is friends with the turltes,that my point.

  • no, i mean what is the point of having an Irma in the new series?

  • So they can at least stay true to the show.

    In the 2003 version the turtles aren't eating strange pizza,April is not a damsel in destress,The shredder is not a tough but wacky character and Casey Jones is not a psycho so they could make a Irma or Irma like character to keep tradition of the TMNT series and that the real point.

  • you have to realize that the two shows are completely different. and if you have to talk about tradition, its the old show that screwed tradition. the old comics never had strange pizza, wacky shredder or an idiot Irma. therefore the 2k3 series didnt, because it was based on the comics. Besides, its not like the '87 fanboys arent thrown a bone or two.

  • Why does the 2003 version need to stay true to the original show when the original show didn't stay true to the original comic?

  • i'm not talking about it anymore,i'm finish okay?

  • I preferred the 2003 Splinter for having amore faithful origin, I also think the grey made more sense since he's old

  • It may be cool, but it's also rather over the top and seemed to come out of nowhere... I also forgot to mention that I perfer the origin story of the classic Splinter opposed to the newer one. Just saying

  • @DoctorDrinkX10 what makes you say that?

  • BTTS April (tmnt design) is hot as shit!!!!

  • That guy in 3:37 is in Turtles Forever

  • I've agreed with everything up to this point. I think what they did to April this time around seemed forced and unnatural. She didn't seem like she was a legit character and more like some writer's soap box for feminist ideals. (I'm not being pro or anti fem, I'm just saying.) I guess "contrived" is the word I'm looking for.

  • I love how raphael from 2003 gets the pissed face when there's a draw

  • in the 2003 one they do a sorta cameo where she disguises herself as a reporter to distract the military that was attacking the utrom building, but my memory a bit fuzzy on that one

  • What episode is the clip of April in the fire from?

  • it's from the episode "Michelangelo meets bugman"
