If you could only change one aspect of the Nick series, what would it be?

[Refractive Reflections]

So we've all voiced and read each others' complaints, disappointments and suggestions with the Nick series, but let's try to determine exactly what they are, and add up (the poll) which aspect of the series everyone would want to improve the most.

Edit: :P You can talk about more than one topic on this thread, but this thread and, more specifically, the poll above were designated to narrow in on an individual's foremost wanted change for the series.

Edit 2: Just for clarification, in case if some of you were wondering what the "Type of Comedy" poll option means, it refers to the type of comedic material being used for the show.

Edit 3: :lol: Okay, so to be technically correct here. The option "The Shipping and Love Triangle(s)" is "The Crushes and Love Triangle(s)", but you all can understand to what I'm referring to here. :P

[Shark_Blade]

I would let Dominic continue voicing as Leo (I'm still trying to get used to Seth's voice though).

I would delete Timothy's existence from ever happening. They could just like found Mutagen Man already mutated and that's good enough.

I would show human Irma being captured and hidden by Kraangs.


----

Oh, you mean only one?

.... Irma then. I want that girl back with the gang.

[ssjup81]

Have Jess Harnell on the show to voice a character to work with Greg Cipes and Rob Paulsen!

Ok seriously, tea time girl!

[TurtleGuy]

Xever still being a human. He hasn't really done anything mutanty since his mutation unlike Bradford(aside from biting Raph) and I liked his human design.

[CyberCubed]

Bring in da humans! Less mutants.

[RedOnYellow]

'Major plot point is dropped' (Splinter revealing to Leo that Karai is his daughter, Karai getting mutated, etc.)

'Major plot point is completely dropped off the face of the earth for 1/3rd of the season'.

So frustrating. Part of what made The Invasion so grand was that it immediately followed Into Dimension X!

[BabyTurtles]

This is so hard....

I was stuck between changing April's story/changing up some of the characters/and shipping

...but shipping won XD....I would love the shipping to be totally gone from this show~

[Shark_Blade]

I didn't even see a poll when this thread started, it's literally not there! :lol:

*reads options*

[Leofan26]

Hmm, so many good choices to pick from, my main beef with the series is all this romance stories they keep adding :ohwell:

I'd like to add in skipping around with major arcs going on, one moment we are dealing with personal issues like Karai's secret than oohs filler sorry, couple of episodes later " By the way, she's our sister folks! " No reactions either, you would have thought of all plot twists that'd have affected them emotionally the most, nothing :lol:

I was taking my time reading over and thinking of the options when it came poll choices, and to my surprise, it already posted the thread before I finished creating the poll! :lol: Whoops...

Sorry about that... :P

That would fit into the "Plot/Arc Amnesia" option too, where these storywriting details are not actively addressed in subsequent episodes.

[IndigoErth]

As of this moment after the most recent episode... The show wants you to want one of the guys, just pick a damn boyfriend already. I. Don't. Even. Care. if you want to be young and experimental and try being with a talking turtle person.. either just choose, or I bludgeon you to death with a foam Nerf bat. And that will take a while. It will soon be to the point that an awkward human/turtle-person pairing will be less painful than an continuing triangle. (Or is that what the show has been waiting for, to be tired of it long enough that people give up and are fine with it.)

[Luckyday]

I didn't vote for this, but Plot/Arc Amnesia is something IMO that can cause problems for the long term.

[Coola Yagami]

Glad to see my term plot amnesia caught on. Here's hoping it gets its own page at TVTropes. lol although this is the only show I ever seen that did something like this.

But yeah that's the thing I would change. The plot amnesia.

And btw... this show has no shipping. The show actually does have a Don/April/Casey love triangle. It wasn't made up by the fans. Shipping is stuff like fans making up stuff not in the show, like Raph/Karai and Mikey/April.

[BabyTurtles]

I didn't vote for this, but Plot/Arc Amnesia is something IMO that can cause problems for the long term.

yea thinking about it...maybe I should have picked that...plot Amnesia is so annoying....and lots of things would have been solved if they just remember what happened last episode XD

[ssjup81]

Okay, I finally have a serious answer that goes under "other". So far, I would change how season 3 started. I would've preferred it if we would've seen the other five adjusting to this life they have for a while with Leo still being out instead of starting after his coma. At least a couple of episodes.

At this point, everyone seems too well-adjusted. Why did Raph decide to be vigilant to watch over Leo (aside from its being in the comic)? How did Donnie cope or act since he blamed himself for Leo's condition? Is Casey's goofiness a front over worrying over his father and sister? How did April cope since bringing Irma to the lair jump-started everything? How did Mikey cope? Did he act the way he did at the end of the finale? With Raph trying to console and comfort him? Was he like this for a while before trying to be optimistic about everything again and quoting Splinter?

This was something I was hoping to see after the season finale. After the heavy, then the lightheartedness of like A Foot too Big (still thought that episode was hilarious).

I guess more emotional moments after a tragic situation or a heavy situation.

For me, I would classify that under the "Plot/Arc Amnesia" option, because those details of the characters/story are not addressed in the show.

Technically, that is correct that the show doesn't have "shipping" since there are no official couples yet in the show, but the fact the show is so strongly leaning toward April/Donatello, April/Casey, and Leo/Karai made me choose the broad term. **shrug** Nevertheless though for this particular case, I think most of the users understand how that term is being applied in the poll option. :ohwell:

As for your "plot amnesia" term, thanks Coola Yagami! ;) It was the best term ("amnesia") to articulate what was occurring with those plotlines! :)

yes yes yes....:cry: I was so hoping for this....missed opportunity...

[Warhorse]

I chose the depiction of characters, lack of some, too much of others. There just isn't enough Raph for me. Too many times has he been sidelined for some reason or another, and too much focus on the other Turtles. Like I said, I feel April gets better story arcs, and has had more screen time in the second half of season 2 and already in the first two episodes of season 3. Enough already, it's supposed to be about the 4 brothers. Not just two of them, April, Casey, and then when they feel they are needed, then go ahead and give Mikey and Raph some character development, but then go back to concentrating on the new team, Don, Leo, April and Casey. Because that's what I feel it is.

[Coola Yagami]

Technically, that is correct that the show doesn't have "shipping" since there are no official couples yet in the show, but the fact the show is so strongly leaning toward April/Donatello, April/Casey, and Leo/Karai made me choose the broad term.

That's what I mean. The show DOES have the April/Don, Casey/April and Leo/Karai thing going on. It's not a made-up thing the fans made up.

Shipping is stuff NOT in the show that fans made up. Like whoa, Raph called Karai hot so there must be a Raph/Karai thing. Or hey, April said more than two words to Leo, so there must be a Leo/April thing going on. Slash/Karai, Tiger Claw/Karai, Raph/random blonde woman we see running around the city sometimes, April/pizza boy. etc

That whole Ho Chan ep was just a front. That hug they were going for was supposed to be for each other, but it would be strange for them to hug one another so they had to get April in the middle. :-P

Okay...:P I get it. I guess I need to brush up on my fan terminology. :lol:

Maybe I should have said, "The Crushes and Love Triangle(s)" then...? I thought "romance" was too strong of a term to use there since it implies a strong and intense affair between two people, and not one-sided like a crush.

[ssjup81]

Some more plot amnesia. I hate the fact they seem to forget that Donnie has a blade in his staff. I really wish he'd use it more, or find ways to have him use it more.

[Powder]

Kraang invasion plot (which for me, includes the mutant of the week type stuff). They're hilarious, imposing & well designed, a real threat, unique in personality, totally like them. I just see waaayyy too much of them, & it usually feels somewhat re-hashed, at that. The season finales especially. Fill up some of that Kraang time with more introspective "hanging out" episodes, so we can get to know each turtle a little more intimately, & maybe some turtle tot flashback episodes (there's a lot of turtle history we don't know! How'd they pick their masks & weapons? Training missions? etc). Or just continuously include more villains of another variety. Chinese vampires. Kung fu school on vacation. Mystics. Witch Doctors. Magicians from the east. Mirage had all kinds of funky human & otherworldly baddies you could take influence from or even reboot. Mobsters from the OT would be another awesome sect to go up against.

[Metalwolf]

I voted Other.

I would give Shredder's goons have a bit more background and character. We barely know anything about them beyond an extremely brief bio, and we don't see them enough for them anymore to develop character. They seemed to have a lot of it when in Season 1 when they were interacting with the Turtles regularly, but this seems to largely stagnate and degrade once they got into Season 2.

a. Xever had a bit of personality. He wasn't a nice guy but was willing to put the rivalry on hold until they got out of Baxter's maze. He didn't like being a fish mutant, and longed to be human again so he could have his old life back. In Season 2 post-Wormquake, he's become a shallow version of his old self, only showing a very generic tough guy persona while being an unquestioning lackey of the Shredder. He also barely gets any lines anymore ( if he's even shown) where pre-Wormquake, he had a lot more.


b.Bradford had a bit of personality too. He was a rich snob, probably was used to having things practically served to him on a silver platter, which didn't help much towards making him a nice guy. Once mutated he didn't really care for his mutant form, and pretty much blamed it for his repeated failings. Like Xever he wanted to be returned to normal but for different reasons i.e his mutant form was sucky for ninja stuff. Once he became Rahzar it looked like he would become a stronger and meaner version of his old self, somebody who could be reckoned with. Instead during and after Wormquake, he devolved into a largely nerfed, generic 'beast' character that shows little character other then being unflinchingly loyal to Shredder. Aside from one episode post-Wormquake (Baxter's Lonely Mutation) he's shone little of his own personality anymore.

c. Tigerclaw, while being a recent addition, hasn't seemed to degrade to the degree of the first two. It might be that he hasn't been replaced (yet), but it could be that he has a way of being seemingly more versatile then the other two. He also even showed his concern to Shredder over Shredder's desire to align with the Kraang, which shows he isn't some guy who just blindly follows orders without question. However, we still don't know much about this guy, and him not attempting a coup on Shredder over the essentially suicidal pact still makes me think he needs a bit more given to him other then another mere follower. The Kraang aren't going to honor an agreement by someone they view as a mere insect, so heck, why is he even staying?

[drgon78]

I choose other because...
-Irma being a Kraang bot was very disappointing.
-The Shellacne episode.
-Mikey's extremely stupid moments and lack empathy moments.
-The Pizza Face episode wasn't a dream.
-Donnie as a car demon.
-Looks like I will be adding something else from season 3 soon.
-Raph's lack of compassion for humans.

-Looks like I will be adding something else from season 3 soon.
-Raph's lack of compassion for humans.Sorry, I still think that Pizzaface was a dream. Too many things about it didn't make sense unless it was a dream and since I'm so convinced it's a dream (unless it's confirmed for sure that it's not), I'll share again...^_^I know it's slightly off topic, but this is why I think Pizzaface was all a dream, the first being that it was supposed to have been originally aired after The Wrath of Tigerclaw.

The pizza Mikey made was gross. I couldn't see him making such a pizza with those inedible toppings, especially the rat, unless it was for ICK. lol
****
Donnie. He mentioned that he'd been trying to contact April for a long time, who was obviously supposed to have met up with him and the others, but she wasn't answering her T-Phone. Tigerclaw was still around as well as the Kraang. She is still a target after all.

If he'd been trying to contact her for hours and didn't get an answer that entire time seems it would've alarmed him and the others. He said this openly with Leo and Raph in earshot range. Nothing.

Later on, after they order the pizza, he's sparring with Leo and Raph like it was nothing, so yeah, I found that really unusual as it's out of the ordinary for her not to answer, which was pointed out by Kirby himself in Wrath of Tigerclaw.
****
The mutant pizzas. First time Mikey fought the pizza, slices and pieces of it going everywhere and he only had that one slice, trying to get the others to believe him.

Later, though the pizza is whole again, even though it shouldn't have been.

I thought it was just a mistake, but it happened again later when the other three and Splinter ate all of the pizza. The pizzas were whole again, which shouldn't have been the case because they'd already eaten them.
****
Mikey unable to take a proper photo with his T-Phone. When they introduced it back in season 1, Mikey figured out how to play games on it with no trouble at all. How could he not figure out the camera?
****
Mikey's nightmare statement.
****
When interrogating that one pizza, he pulled off a pepperoni and ate it. He didn't become possessed or anything, but maybe it was because he didn't eat the cheese....

Nah, because later he did. He was trapped on the wall and ate his way through and then ate Pizzaface. All of the mutant pizzas were made from him and everyone who ate it or was attacked by it became pizza zombies. Why not Mikey?
****
Leo and Raph were hit really hard. They should've been bruised in some way.
****
April should have stains on her clothes.
****
At the end, the Pizzaface slice talks...after Mikey goes back to sleep.

So yeah, this is why I interpreted the whole ep as a dream, especially after finding out it was aired out of order. I felt this way before I knew, especially because of Donnie not worrying over April.

[JTH]

There's not really anything I would change for the simple reason that nothing I would replace it with would make anything really better than what it is. Everything really does fit with what they've done.

But if I could change one thing, it would be April's backstory with the Kraang and just have her not to that extent. You can keep the senses, the powers and such, but as soon as they said "Kraang DNA" and "half alien"... OOH it made me hate Kraang Conspiracy so bad! :ohwell:

But then where would she get her powers and senses from?

[This_is_my_username]

I've always found The Love Triangle becomes tedious for many fans far quicker than for the writers. However, it's clearly a popular and easy device for almost everything, and provides easy food for a hungry fan. I'm a mild critic of it in the series.

[miru]

The infamous Irma scene. We need more females in the show.

[ssjup81]

The infamous Irma scene. We need more females in the show.Why is that exactly?

[snake]

Probably some consistancy to the Kraang or April's powers.

[Netkeeper]

Initially, this was a bit of a tough choice between the depiction of the characters and the shipping, but my biggest problem is with Donnie's depiction, and my biggest problem with Donnie's depiction is how he acts around April. Not to mention the other shippy things going on here.

The show would actually be watchable for me if the shipping was removed. Which is unfortunate, since I normally quite like it. But these writers just cannot do it. Leave that to the fandom, please. I wouldn't vote to improve it. Just take it out.

Not that I wouldn't still have complaints, but at least I could find the show enjoyable on the whole.

[HotNunchuckFury]

I don't really like the April/Kraang connection, but I voted Love Triangles because that is so much worse and crops up so frequently. It's completely ruining this version of Donnie for me, who I otherwise like. Overall I love the show, just wish they'd drop the romance, it was never needed.

[BubblyShell22]

Definitely the plot amnesia for me. I think that's the one flaw this show has and I do hope they resolve it soon. I do like the change of scenery for season 3 though and can't wait to see what else happens at the farm. I'm definitely hoping for more character development as the Turtles heal.

They should've done it in a more platonic way, I guess.

[TerranigmaFreak]

Character shipping/love triangle.

[MaximeLoonatic]

I would let Dominic continue voicing as Leo (I'm still trying to get used to Seth's voice though).

I would delete Timothy's existence from ever happening. They could just like found Mutagen Man already mutated and that's good enough.

I would show human Irma being captured and hidden by Kraangs.


----

Oh, you mean only one?

.... Irma then. I want that girl back with the gang.
I agree with that!

The character was well designed, her sassyness was great and April needs someone from her life (besides Casey) that it's not mutated or robotized.

[neatoman]

Fewer incidental characters would be nice.

[coxfire]

I know it is a kid show, but I'd like it to be more mature, sometimes, with the way they handle the humor but also the characters. A deeper character "analysis" would be interesting.
As for the shipping: I don't mind the idea of Apritello (I don't care, TBH), but the way they go at it with the triangle and how it impacts Donnie's character isn't that good
I'd like to see more interactions of Splinter with Turtles other than Leo, too. He needs more guidance because he's the leader, but the rest of the guys are still 16 year-old boys, they do need him too.

[PangolinFeets]

One of the things I like about this show so much is its the first version of them that actually makes me see them as teenagers. I feel like being a little girl-crazy is such an integral part of being a teenager that it has to be included. Granted, its annoying to see Casey and Donnie fighting and Donnie focuses on April a lot, but overall its an addition that I like.

I wish Karai did NOT have snake hands. I really wish she wasnt mutated in the first place.

I really liked the Tigerclaw episode where he and Splinter spoke Japanese. I wish elements like that could be used more often.

[kolaida]

I don't mind the crush Donnie has on April but sometimes it can be a bit much. I'd make it more subtle and not have it such a huge part of the show. Also, I've seen fans say they ship a couple that's already been confirmed in a show so I don't see what the big deal is with using the word "shipping" but whatever. I mean it's not a term I would ever actually use in real life conversation, lol.

Everything else I've pretty much liked for the most part. I mean, I have some other things, but I would consider them nitpicky. Overall, I'm okay with things except the love triangle thing being so in my face. Though it does have some cute moments. I don't know, I keep waiting for it to grow on me, hasn't really happened.

Though, I have liked the Leo/Karai bits.

[THGhost]

Seth Green as Leonardo. I'm just not feeling it yet.

What the heck is "Shipping" referring to?

[BabyTurtles]

I find it funny(but not surprised) that the shipping has the most votes.

I really wish the writers would let it go already :ohwell:

[raph27]

Biggs as Leo. I'm sorry I just flat out do not like Dominic's voice. I'm still trying to give Seth a chance.
Oh, or maybe April hanging out with the other turtles more.

[THGhost]

Seriously, "shipping". What's that all about? :P

Biggs as Leo. I'm sorry I just flat out do not like Dominic's voice. I'm still trying to give Seth a chance.
Oh, or maybe April hanging out with the other turtles more.

I can barely tell the difference between Biggs' and Catrambone's voice. That's why I liked his replacement so much. Green's voice however is far too much of a change that it feels jarring every time Leo opens his mouth now.

[IndigoErth]

Can I just toss in a random one and say I'd like to change the fact that I don't think we ever saw Leo or Donnie's rooms? And now I guess the lair is a goner. :ohwell: (How sad to see it destroyed twice - movie and show - in the same summer.)

They'll rebuild it after they return, right?



R-right?

Maybe when they return to NY and find a new lair they'll go back to the old one and see what else they can salvage and then we see their rooms. I wonder if Leo had a bunch of Space Gero memorabilia or Donnie with everything meticulously in place.

[ssjup81]

I wish, but the bad guys know were they live...The Kraang do, Shredder doesn't.

[blindturtle02]

I'd also like to see Leo and Donnie's rooms. I bet they had some kickbutt merch on display. Well, Leo anyway. I'd imagine Donnie likes Scifi stuff too. He seems interested in most of the shows they're watching. Something tells me Donnie is very very organized and has everything picked up off the floor. All of his books and things are undoubtedly alphabetized etc. But yeah, they'll probably build themselves even better rooms when they get back.

[BubblyShell22]

Seriously, "shipping". What's that all about? :P



I can barely tell the difference between Biggs' and Catrambone's voice. That's why I liked his replacement so much. Green's voice however is far too much of a change that it feels jarring every time Leo opens his mouth now.

"Shipping" is a term that means putting two people together. An example would be Apriltello or Raphril.

As for Green being Leo's voice now, I love it. It did take some getting used to at first, but I'm totally on board now and can't wait to see where he takes the character.

[Jester]

Love Rob Paulsen to death, but I'm soooo over April-tello.

[plastroncafe]

Every episode is made worse with the constant Donnie-Casey fighting over April subplot.

I can handle plot amnesia. I can even handle the lack of Bechdel-Test passing episodes. But I'm so done with Donnie and Casey's utter fixation on April.

[Luckyday]

The writers should just let this ship sail for Belize.

[THGhost]

"Shipping" is a term that means putting two people together.

Wow, people need to come up with terms that actually make sense. :P

Raphril.

Please tell me that's not a thing. :roll:

[HotNunchuckFury]

Seriously, "shipping". What's that all about? :P

I'm glad it wasn't just me that didn't have a clue! :lol:

[plastroncafe]

It's not like it's a new term. Next you're going to tell me you've never heard of Rule 34.

[IndigoErth]

Kinda wish I hadn't. :lol:

Some kinda late to the loading dock on the shipping thing. (Wait, I think I'm using it wrong...) :P

Personally I prob ran across it (shipping, not 34..that one is much more recent) first a couple years ago after finally seeing Tangled (<3!), saw fan stuff saying someone "ships" Flynn or Rapunzel with some other non-Tangled character... took me a long time to figure out what the heck they meant.

[Karai Samurai]

Karai's mutation for sure. And Irma being a Kraang bot. I like to pretend both of those didn't happen. Ugh...that's two. Okay, just Karai's mutation. I still can't get behind it, although making her a shape shifter was a nice touch.

[THGhost]

It's not like it's a new term. Next you're going to tell me you've never heard of Rule 34.

C'mon, that's an extremely popular term. "Shipping" on the other hand, no. That's far too obscure. :P

[Warhorse]

Karahasi's mutation for sure. And Irma being a Kraang bot. I like to pretend both of those didn't happen. Ugh...that's two. Okay, just Karai's mutation. I still can't get behind it, although making her a shape shifter was a nice touch.

Yeah, I wish Karai never got mutated and was with the gang back on the farm. She has yet to have some down time with April since she now has accepted that Splinter is her father. It's a shame what the writers did with Karai.

Status que can be such a pain in the ass sometimes. I wonder if they don't realize that audience of today are into action shows that have actually growth are no longer intuned with shows that episodic?

Well, TPTB seem to think as long as it's geared towards kids, it will do ok. And, that they tend to think kids are stupid, so they dumb some things down. While everyone is freaking out about the ratings, I wonder how each episode is doing on Itunes or amazon? This could be a great indicator to see what people like enough to fork down cash for a single episode.

Ratings problems could be a number of things. One being is not knowing which is best time slot for this show. I really hope this doesn't end up being a Young Justice situation.

Kinda wish I hadn't. :lol:

Some kinda late to the loading dock on the shipping thing. (Wait, I think I'm using it wrong...) :P

Personally I prob ran across it (shipping, not 34..that one is much more recent) first a couple years ago after finally seeing Tangled (<3!), saw fan stuff saying someone "ships" Flynn or Rapunzel with some other non-Tangled character... took me a long time to figure out what the heck they meant.

Did you mean Jackunzel (http://turbotails06.deviantart.com/art/Lanterns-360941827) = Jack Frost x Rapunzel (http://turbotails06.deviantart.com/favourites/57948891/Jack-Frost-x-Rapunzel)?

I ship them so hard, still do lol.

I chose "Other, explain in post". So here I go...

I'd choose to not have Irma be a robot the whole time (the eff?). Also I'd choose to not have Seth Green voicing Leo. Sorry, but his voice doesn't stick with me as Leo for some reason; sounds too gravelly.

There are other little minor things too, but it's stuff that's already been discussed.

Stop trying to make "ship" happen ;) :lol:

I too am disappointed how Karai is still mutated and not on the farm. A few scenes with her trying to adjust to being a snake would be nice, at least until the turtles inevitability find her.
