-Worst Moment
Let's get moving on it. This site can't wait one more moment for a defense team.
Theme Song
Entertaining, but it steals too much from the movie. 5/10
Greatest Theme Song Ever. Walk into a room and start singing and soon everyone will join in. 10/10
Leader
The Ghostbusters always seemed to compliment each other so well that they never really had a true leader or needed one. Much Props. 8/10
Leonardo was at the disadvantage of having to lead his own siblings which made things tough, but he worked hard and usually did a good job. 7/10
Smartest Member
Egon Spengler can catch ghosts and contain them inside special machines. 'Nuff Said. 10/10
Donatello makes alot of stuff that usually breaks and his best weapon is a stick. 4/10
Dumbest Member
Peter Venkman isn't the sharpest tool in the shade, but he got Sigourney Weaver in the sack and is hilarious. 8/10
Michalangelo is a party dude and as such is not required to be a genius. He serves his role well. 7/10
Biggest Enemy
A massive Marshmallow Man is more delicious than scary, but he does stay puffed. 4/10
Shredder is the coolest looking inept man I have ever seen. But cool looking none the less especially when he's looking super and played by Kevin Nash. 7/10
Best Friend
A giant floating green glob that licks everything named Slimer doesn't make for great cocktail parties, but he did have a delicious ice cream bar. 5/10
A giant rat trained as a ninja named Splinter doesn't make for great cocktail parties, but he can kick you ass. 7/10
Weapons
They have streams which can never be crossed. That's gotta be powerful. 8/10
Swords, Nunchucks, and hand tridents (thats what they are) are cool, but having a guy who swing sticks is infinitely lame. 4/10
Popularity
They peaked as an incredibly popular movie which spawned a decently long running TV show and sequel. 7/10
They went from a comic parody to a cultural icon with a movie trilogy and multiple TV series. 10/10
Movies
There are only two movies and I really only enjoy watching the first, but there both pretty good. 8/10
With a whole trilogy you would think they would be good each time, but each film got progressively worse from the still great if slightly too kiddy first flick. 7/10
Worst Moment
Your eyes bleeding from watching the horrible claymation effects of the 1980's. 8/10
Your brain exploding as the Ninja Turtles team up with Usagi Yojimbo (actually pretty cool, I really just wanted to mention they did that) in the same year they traveled back to ancient Japan. 8/10
And with 10 categories in the books we have a tie at 71. How do we break this?
Well obviously we go to the video games. The Ninja Turtles have more good 8 and 16 bit games than you can shake a stick at (as if that would do anything to electronics)
and the Ghostbusters have this.
I think it's obvious who are winner is then.
Congratulations Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles! You are now the Official Sports Tome Defense Team. Please report to Kimbo to receive more information about this amazing job you have been given. And please, no Ninja Rapping while your on duty.
