I. Told. You. So.
And SO MANY people were coming out of the woodwork...saying 'you don't know what you're talking about', 'you're crazy', 'wait and see', and etc. All the people who kept saying 'Give It a Chance, you can't know until you Give It a Chance.' Or 'it'll last a few episodes, so be happy after that, all you Raph fans', and so on...and so forth...
And when this BS crap DOES happen (like I predicted), it's 'oh well' from most. And that's it.
You see...the writers & makers of this show don't HAVE to do anything of that nature for characters like Raph & Mikey, because most will just go "Oh, whatever".
I'm not trying to attack anyone personally by saying that, but it's the Truth.
You could have had Mikey being the one to turn Raph back...since, well...who is the one who always puts jokes on Raph (so why wouldn't you have MIKEY be the one to harass him, let alone say some GOOD things as well...or reference stuff from the past)? Who is the one who hugged Raph and broke him out of his rage in the Season 2 finale? Who is the one that would make the most sense?
Mikey...except the writers are idiots.
The Raph and Mikey brotherhood IS a strong element of the show. But yes, let's just wipe that out of the memory like the Neuralizer in Men in Black.
Or how about giving Raph or Mikey an ATTEMPT at an arc...an ATTEMPT...they dropped the ball with an ongoing Slash vs. Raph rivalry...they dropped the ball on this when you could do TONS (and for those who say that you can't? You don't have much imagination then...I'm sorry, I know that sounds harsh, but you don't)...
So we can have what...9 or so episodes on a farm and 'here's Horror Film #1 and here's Horror Film #2"
But not even a full one on a Dark Raph?
Oh, and how long has the whole Don/Casey/April thing gone on? Or even this Karai/mutated thing? But anything for Raph or Mikey? Nope.
And you STILL, I repeat STILL, have people sticking up or apologizing for the show as if it's nothing. So Of Course the writers will keep doing it. Why shouldn't they?
And for people who Still don't get it...then there's nothing else I can say about it. I've said more than enough in all of my past posts...and if this can't Blatantly Show You where some of us stand, then I simply do not understand and never will.
I'm not talking about anything in the past, so don't bring that up. I'm talking about this current show. The show can strive to higher places with the way many shows are nowadays, and can go much further with BOTH of the Raph & Mikey characters.
But they don't. And they won't. And yes, That Sucks.
