Directions to avoid in the future
 

Like most people, i am digging the new TMNT Series on nick. But what would be the WORST possible direction it could take. What should they NOT do. it could be anything. A plot twist, a character,etc. For Me the worst decision would be to bring Venus De Milo back.

uhh.....let me think..........

I guess killing off any of the turtles would be the worse thing for me XD

Yeah...that would just about do it. :lol:

Since that's highly unlikely to happen, though, I think not completing story/character arcs would be a bad idea. I know it's what put me off of Fast Forward- I was gearing up to enjoy the rest of the Ninja Tribunal arc and the execs were like "NOPE- MOVING ON", and I was left unsatisfied. So Nick should avoid that, if it can be helped.

pizza is yummerz

I'd honestly be pretty put off if the romance they're already hinting at so much becomes an even bigger plot point. I know Karai is upcoming in the next episode or so, and despite how much I usually like her, I find myself dreading it because I know I'm going to have watch blatant weirdness from Leo (and maybe Raph now at this point too) from now on. The same whenever April is in an episode. I'm going to be super pissed if they bring in another girl (perhaps Angel) and have her serve as only another love interest for a turtle.

I also hope they don't start milking the bad guys. I like the Shredder, but after awhile I just want the dude to go down and not come back. It's cool the first and second time, but third time's the charm, don't you think?

It would also be fantastic if they didn't bring in awesome character development arcs (2k3 Good Genes) and then...completely forget about them after. I'm still bitter that Leo got half a season to act like a mopey, brooding prick after losing a fight with Karai but while Don gets zip in regards to his mental health after being transformed into a monster and trying to kill his own family.

Aside from the obvious, I just hope they don't rely on too many mutant of the week themed episodes.

Already we're seeing signs of that, but it might get really repetitive in the future if each episode is another ep about some mutant.

I also hope they tone down the love stuff....I don't like Donnie having April's attention all the time.
As for Karai....I'm sure she won't be a love interest..anymore, since she might be Miwa and all....(but who knows) :)

but ya know..other than this and no killing off a turtle XD I'm pretty good!!

The amount of focus April gets is enough. Any more and it would be dumb. That's how they can go wrong going forward.

Do not forget to include Ninjara.

Gotta agree on the romance. I honestly don't mind what's there now, but I wouldn't want to see a bigger focus on it. Romance works great in some things, but TMNT was never really one of those things that made me go, "You know what this needs? More romance!"

Aside from that, the only thing that comes to mind for me personally is introducing an official "5th member" of the team. By that I mean someone who sticks around long term (like Carter or Venus, for example), not characters that team up with them on occasion (like Leatherhead or Casey). I love random team ups, just not ones that change up the chemistry of the 4 brothers for a dozen episodes in a row.

What are you talking about? April doesn't get that much focus...she isn't even in all the episodes.

The show isn't called April and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

I agree with the above poster. April gets the right amount of screen time. As always, her character was a good catalyst to get the Turtles involved in the world above ground.

Hmm. This is harder than I thought. :lol: A musical episode. Don't get me wrong. I :tlove: musicals, but a Nick TMNT musical? Mikey's probably gonna be the only one singing. :P And it sounds too silly.

Exactly. The perfect amount.

Wouldn't that be the second time...? Shredder only fought them once so far.

Oh God, yes. That thread is nothing but terrible ideas.

Some ideas are horrid, but some are great. Most are jokes though, like Ape-Rel:D
Well, that's what you want, this is what you don't

The Turtles can't really die.. So I say no death to their Friends and Allies(Leatherhead, April, possibly Karai)...That is all I ask.

I'd like an Allie killed, not like April or Leatherhead. But maybe like a new one just for some character building, even the OT did it in season 2.
