What is the ONE aspect you would like to change in the Nick series?
 

If I had a choice, I would lower the amount of mutations that occur in the show.

Lately, I feel that there are too many mutants. Decreasing the amount of mutants/mutations on the show would reap positive results.

- There would be more screen time dedicated to character development and world building, since the show would focus on not having an excess amount of mutations/mutants.

- The turtles/Splinter would be more "unique". Since there would only be a certain amount of mutants/mutations, the turtles/Splinter would be able to stand out more.

- They show would be able to introduce a variety of characters that aren't mutants. ( For example, characters that are humans, ghosts, demons, etc.)

That is the one aspect I would like to change. Discuss your thoughts below.

Realizing I'm not the target demographic for this show, the only thing I'd like to see is Donnie's creeping tendencies put an end to.

And maybe they are by this point, I'm more than a few episodes behind, but that's the most irksome thing about the show for me.

As you mentioned, there are too many mutations. I'd like it to change as well.

One other thing is that they should wrap up some old plots that are quickly becoming forgotten, like Timothy Plot, Karai plot, Newtralizer plot. For the love of God, he hasn't showed up in the Salamandrians episode. Hopefully he does later, because he's got some unfinished business with Slash.

Last thing is that Xever, and Bradford need more screen time.

I'd do something about all those mutations as well, but what I'd really like to see is them bringing back that entertaining bickering among the Turtles you'd hear in Season 1. Those were always fun scenes.

If there's only only thing I can choose I might need to think about it. Right now I'd say they probably should have been more careful about how they treated the storyline, it comes across as rather fillery (is that even a word?) and like it discards/alters developtments too much.

I'd bring back the season 1 writers, they were way better.

The fact that they wont show us Don and Leo's rooms (they almost did in the Animated Adventures comics)

This. I'd erase everything post season one and keep those writers.

Honestly, several things:

Even though season 2 I prefer over 1 due to the season sticking out more in my mind, I do agree the main issue is the lack of a coherent narrative. Season 1 triumphs quite a bit with that; however, my issue was the story felt rather slow in season 1 with business only picking up right at Never Say Xever. Episodes such as Old Friend, New Enemy and It Came From the Depths were good, but somewhat rushed a little bit. Season 2 may have the pacing I personally prefer, but what good is it without a good narrative? As a result, several plots have died out whether due to change in writers or the lack of time for voice actors; such examples are Trejo, Craig Smith, and Combs.

Despite my disdain for the majority of relationships and partially the mutations, the writing is what honestly needs to be fixed. There's shining examples of brilliance after season 1; Wrath of Tiger Claw, The Invasion, Serpent Hunt, personally Casey Jones vs the Underworld are really good. The issue is their placement in their respective seasons barring Invasion; that's ultimately what is killing the show. The writing went from having strong connections between interactions and overall plots turning more into a toy marketing show again for the Turtles. I'm not asking for everything to extend into an arc, but at the very least go for stronger writing.

Fix up the writing and (personally) the love affairs and tonal shifts then the show has potential to get back on track. Also, didn't you make a thread like this before, or someone did to this extent?

The show is fine the way it is, but I'd prefer more human enemies than mutants all the time.

If we can keep the new character designs along the way, then I'm game.

I'd add more ass-shots.

The characters designs are the one thing that the show is improving.

Probably this.

If not, I'd have preferred it if "Karai" had been named Pimiko, or just been Miwa, or any other random Japanese name. Making her Karai in name only bars them from utilizing a more Mirage-esque Karai, which is a shame considering the crew is comprised of plenty of Mirage fans and that's the best version of the character.

Then again it might be for the best. It might be tough for a kids show to adapt City at War without butchering it.

Put season 2 out on a complete dvd set so you don't have to buy the separate discs... like they did eventually on season 1.

This requires double dipping on season 1, but there ya go.

I'd have them keep the Vision Quest gear permanently.

That's an odd thing to care about.

I would stop giving old names to new characters. It prevents the old characters from actually showing up. So many examples such as neutrinos being nothing like the Dimension X race.

Less Kraang. As in not making everything involve the Kraang.

April O'neil? Was half-Kraang all along.

April's "mother"? Kraang experiment all along.

Irma? Kraang all along.

Human evolution? Kraang all along.

Every conspiracy ever? Kraang all along.

You see where I'm getting at this? Pretty much almost everything that happened? The Kraang was most likely behind it.

How much you wanna bet Kraang Subprime says this some where down the line, or Prime:
