but the angry and tormented 2003 Raph is growing on me who would have known that a char i never gave two craps about in the old series would rock my world in the new one.
Angry and tormeted Raph is not new, it's just going back to his original character personality as created in 1984. :P The 1988 cartoon is what made the change. The movies also featured good ol' angry tormented Raph.
