I mean COME ON, if you're gonna voice the same cartoon but a different character, at least change the voice a bit more. But I guess I should just be happy he's not using Pinky's voice from Pinky and the Brain

Nope, still not going to say a bad word against the 80s cartoon, because without it, I wouldn't have become a TMNT fan at all. :) However, I will refer to the 90s live action film for making Raphael my favorite of the four. Guess I can identify with his "angry at the world non-team player" 'tude.

Pinky is kind of a hard voice to forget and since those two mice and their dreams of world conquest were a huge hit when I was a kid, it would be hard for him to voice any character using the same voice without someone going "Isn't that Pinky?" I remember when I heard Patrick on Spongebob for the first time, I thought "Broadway?" from Gargoyles and I still think that now. I don't think of that voice as a pink starfish with a mental defect, I think of him as a gargoyle who enjoys his food and breaking into movie theaters to watch films. (Love that ep: "I don't remember there being any explosions in Bambi"). XD
