Venus is a scapegoat for TNM, I'm convinced most people have only watched East meets West since outside those episodes Venus is mostly a character that doesn't get much focus and doesn't steal much of the spotlight. Her Shinobi powers are almost never used outside their introduction. She isn't shoved down our throats and basically there is zero romance through out the whole show.
Sound effects and dialog and making villains too goofy is the real problem the show has but it's nowhere near the mess people make it out to be.

Aside from:
1. The degradation of the Shredder. I mean the guy was beaten by shinobi mind tricks... LAME!
2. The incessant and unnecessary sound effects and transitions. Do we need Three Stooges sounds over fight scenes? And why are there spinning Turtle shells every five minutes?
3. The cast, especially Splinter, is laughable.
4. 2 clip shows in 26 episodes? Really?
5. and to me the big one...
Say what you will about the possibility of the Turtles not being biologically related, they are an ADOPTIVE family. They are as much brothers through adoption as my sister and I are siblings by blood.

1. He makes a neat comeback, plus this isn't that much worse from the way he is dispatched in a lot of the OT, or the lackluster endings of the movies.
2. Yes, this absolutely is the worst thing about TNM.
3. The cast isn't that bad, the dialog on the other hand.
4. Both clipshows aren't actually that bad and feature enough original footage, the Raph/Leo fighting one is interesting and the Venus one serves as a tribute.
5. This I find a petty complain, I refues to believe the turtles are brothers in any incarnation. Plus people take that one scene and blow it out of proportion like the whole show dealt with the turtles having a boner for Venus, outside of the episode she was introduced where the turtles go gaga over her and that scene, no romance is ever hinted at during the show.
