But let's be clear here, just because it made them look ugly it doesn't mean the idea didn't make sense. The character models were intended to blend in with live-action environments, nostrils is something all land living vertibrates have, the idea is that it makes them look more believable as living creatures. Comics, cartoons and video games can get away with Kevin and Peter's original design choices because realism isn't a signifigant concern there.
Now maybe if they based it on real turtle nostrils instead of human nostrils, people might not have complained.

I'm with this. Real turtles have nostrils, so okay, that gets a pass, but the way it was done was so ugly, so horrible, and not in a good way horrible, but like, as if they had some kind of chromosomal disease.
The wide eyes, are off putting too, generating that uncaney valley response the way this persons face does. I don't say it to be cruel to them, just, it's just not a good direction for a ninja turtle.
