What would you like to see in Season #3?
 

In your opinion, what do you want to see for Season #3?

For Season #3, I would like to see:

.Mikey develop as a character(being more mature/reserved)
. An appearence of Casey's family
. Less humans being mutated
.April interacting with the other turtles(besides Donnie)

Better humour
Mikey being less annoying
Less casey
More of shredder actually doing things
More character development
Less OT influences

Hm...things I would like to see...

April interacting with the other three turtles a bit more, at least Leo.

Casey's family. He went on about wanting to protect them. It would be nice to actually see them.

More development for Raph and Mikey. Both seem to be getting the short end of the stick, as this show is clearly Leo and Donny's. I want Mikey to continue being written as competent, like in the current episode. I want him to have more moments like that. Keep him goofy if they want just as long as he isn't being stupid. I also would like to see him more focused as opposed to coming across as having ADD or ADHD.

Mutagen Man's story concluded (if it isn't done so by the end of this season). I feel a bit bad for him. I would hope that Donny could somehow manage to make more retro-mutagen.

I want Donnie to go back to Stockman's lab and get more Mutagen so he can make more retro-mutagen.

The Triceratons!

Another 80s turtles cameo...but that's the nostalgia talking. ^^ I just want the 2k12 turtles to meet the OT turtles is all.

Irma playing a bigger role...somewhat and finally meeting the turtles.

More Shredder Vs. Turtles/Splinter fight scenes
More Kraang Prime and Dimension X
Triceritons and Professor Honeycutt
Leatherhead
Irma meeting the guys
More Slash episodes

That's all I got for now

Good Genes arc like plot line.
Time travel
Bishop being brought into play. (Doesn't need to be employed by or associated with Shredder)
Emotional conflict with the characters.
Irma's, Casey, and April's development and relationship with the Turtles
Kirby's relation with the Turtles
Flash Backs to the Turtles Growing up.
Development on the Turtles relationships with each other.

No more overt OT cameos -The brief OT Turtle cameo was fine, but any more past that is pushing it. Let this show be it's own thing without it trying to ride too hard on the OT's coattails.

Triceratons- These look like an interesting alien foe, they look fitting (and threatening enough) to be the Kraangs' main rival. I could see the writers throwing in an easy Alien vs Predator reference with this too: "Whoever wins, we lose."

Less humans turning into mutants- Pretty much as it says on the tin. Mutants are fun, but not when everybody and their grandaddy is getting turned into one. All it does is come off as overkill and then makes the rare human look special.

More development of the existing characters- This season (Season 2) seemed more like it was more of a mutant-fest with only a few bits of plot and development inserted here and there. I'd love to see a bit more development of these existing characters, some of these we barely know anything about! We know the good guys have hobbies and interests besides just ninja training, do the bad guys have any of these too, or do they just sit around in brood mode when not fighting?

Exploration of being a mutant- I know this is a remote chance, but I'd love to see this touched on. The Turtles are the most 'human' out of all of the mutants, even though they were never human to begin with. But humans seem to lose some of their humanity, which is the paradox. Most seem to adopt almost overt behaviors of the creature they 'became,' even though they have a human's mind and reasoning.

More character development for Raph and Mikey.
Introducing Irma to the gang.
Less love triangle.
Less of Aprils magic power macguffin-ness.
More Shredder moments.
More moments with the existing mutants, rather than continuing to introduce new ones.
Resolution for the Timothy/Mutagen Man arc.

Usagi
Turtles in Space
Triceratons
Fugitoid
Less mutants
Less Kraang
Turtles in Time
The writers to stop being too reliant on the OT
More nods to Mirage

Promoting Yost as head writer and let him take over. Do it Ciro.

Just some very broad thoughts on Season 3 and beyond:

- continue on improving the environments. More buildings, more background characters, more stuff that makes the world feel "real" and lived in by the turtles. They are improving on this over time, but they could still do better.
- A lot of the battles in Season 2 feel more dynamic and interesting than Season 1, I want to see them continue to refine the animation and make it look more fluid and impressive than ever!
- more stories that "matter" fewer "self contained" episodes
- crank the ninja factor up to 11. I want to see more relating to Splinter, Shredder and the Turtles' Japanese heritage. More Japanese phrases, more martial arts, I want the fact that the turtles are ninjas and from a Japanese "family" be very important to their characters and those that interact with them.
- would love to see a story arc where the turtles are forced to leave NYC for a while, only to return half a season or a full season later with a bang.
- please if the neutrinos are introduced do not make them annoying as hell like in the OT. It was simply terrible.
- please no more crossovers where the Nick characters meet OT or 2k3/4kids versions of characters. It's not necessary or very interesting IMO.

Hmm not sure what else right now :)

I mostly want to see some more character development at this point. Mikey's had a few moments to shine so far, but we rarely see him "get serious" when it's necessary, and the jokes about his stupidity have gotten a bit out of hand. He can be the goofy, funny one without always being the joke himself. I want to see a bit less of him being an annoyance and some focus on his positive attributes and strengths.

Both April and Casey could use a bit more development as well - it feels a bit like April's power upgrade could be meant to make her more immediately engaging instead of making her more interesting without a gimmick, and I'm not a huge fan of that idea. And we need some backstory and added character depth for Casey before too long.

Also: focus on Shredder as a threat outside of his grudge against Yoshi, more actual ninjas (the Foot Bots are okay, but it feels like the actual Foot Ninja got the short end of the stick on this show), and maybe a bit less focus on random "mutants of the week" - at times it can make the Turtles themselves seem less special when there are constantly new mutants being added to the mix.

I won't mention the stuff already confirmed like Bebop/Rocksteady or Triceratons, so other than them:

- Hun
- Armaggon
- Turtles in Space or Dimension X
- Turtles in Time (dinosaurs, Japan, the future)
- General Traag talking leading Rock Soldiers
- Human Foot Soldiers return

I'm pretty sure the Foot Bots put up more of a fight. :ohwell:

Yeah, and the turtles are actually allowed slice them up without censor issues, hence why the Foot were robots in the OT.

If the PD movie is successful, will the budget go up for the show?

That, and they are returning with four arms which should make them more of a threat.

can someone explain what they mean when people say character development for mikey? It kinda annoys me when i read something like that.

Out of curiosity, was I the only bothered with how easily Casey took out the Footbots his first time fighting them in that "Target is April O'Neil" episode? April too, but at least she eventually was caught. The turtles who have years of training struggled against them their first time, I thought it was crazy that Casey could take them on.

Mikey is my favourite Turtle (go figure) and overall I like him a lot on the show. Cipes does a great job in the role, he's a lot of fun, and genuinely funny most of the time. But I just wish he wasn't the butt of the joke so often, and wasn't portrayed as being extremely stupid/dense as much as he is, as well as very clumsy and careless at times.

I feel like Mikey's lightheartedness and good humour helps keep a certain balance on the team, and it'd be cool to see that recognized by the Turtles and Mikey himself now and then. Just some more moments of dignity would be nice to balance things out a bit.

this and

more human friends (Angel, Angel, Angel)

less focus on April plot.
