Say something negative and positive

[The Big Bad]

+ The CGI can often be gorgeous, particularly when it comes to the better-realized backgrounds and characters.

- The compromises they've had to make in order to get that CGI break the series in a fundamental way.

+ I really like the concept of Miwa, and the character.

- I really wish she and Karai had been separate characters.

+ The humor can be quite funny at times

- The humor is often extremely problematic.

+ I like that it's willing to take risks with established characters, and take them to new places.

- The series all too often shows no interest in exploring those places.

+ The series has a soul, which cannot be said for other extant incarnations of the series.

- It has the soul of a horrible person.

OKAY NEW RULES

for every LONG explanation for a negative.....you have to make a Long explanation for a positive. (or at least a better effort)

I'm trying to make this a balanced thing....not a oh! let me vent out my negatives and get away with it by saying a quick little positive.

[electric_sheep]

positive, Liking that Leo if a fan of star trek kinda show, it's in tune with his character, it's cool when he tries to emulate it but fails miserably.

Negative. Karai being Splinter's daughter is stupid, everyone guessed that it's gonna happen from episode 1, they didn't attempt to throw us of a trail.

Better?

[Luckyday]

+ The main characters are no longer portrayed as single archetypes, which is due to the supreme voice acting and have made filler episodes worth watching.
-Too much filler. Writers are almost too afraid to create plot driven seasons that's on the level of Avatar: The Last Airbender.

Okay, that last one just killed me.

[Konchadunga]

Positive: Genuinely engaging story arcs with regard to both villain teams...
Negative:...that get constantly pushed to the side in favor of toy-driven, Fred Wolf-esque Mutant-of-the-Week plots...
Positive:...but at least they handle it better than the Fred Wolf show and aren't a slave to Fred Wolf nostalgia...
Negative:...but then, the toys of the MOTWs are generally pretty bad while the Fred Wolf-based toys are widely beloved...
Positive:...but the Nick Turtles themselves are possibly the best TMNT toys I've seen...
Negative:...but it's inexcusable to make Splinter such a lame toy.
Positive: Speaking of Splinter, he's funny...
Negative:...but he also suffers from a extremely inconsistent writing.
Positive: Karai is more bearable than 4Kids Karai...
Negative:...but she doesn't have a toy; not even a bad one.
Positive: Pretty funny when it tries to be.
Negative:...but when it tries to be scary, it really isn't too much from an adult perspective.

[Rooish]

Negative: Mostly having to do with the fans, who insist the Turtles have never before acted like teenagers (they have; see the first three movies), that the different body builds are so cool and original (this was first done in the 1990 movie as well, as well as the 2007 movie, Fast Forward, Back to the Sewers, etc...), that this is the most father-like Splinter (he's kind of a prick in this series; refer to the more caring IDW Splinter, 2003 Splinter, 1990s movie Splinter), and that the Turtles have the closest sibling-like bond (umm, I guess if you like your siblings to only sparingly care about you).

Positive: The voice actors are great, the animation is great (although not the best we have ever seen in the TMNT--see the 2003 series and the 2007 movie, good fight scenes there!), and Leo, Don, April and Karai are very multi-faceted characters.

[Papenbrook]

Positive: I like the potential of the writing within the story arcs.
Positive: I like the character designs within the show. They seem unique, and it brings diversity to the show.
Negative: I don't like the character Bradford. He seems too stereotypical for my liking, and he takes away the screen time of Xever.
Negative: I don't like the cartoon/anime segments they do through the majority of episodes. The suspense and screen time gets taken away.

[ABrown]

N: I think Splinter is too tall
P: I think the Kraang are hilarious

[Jephael]

Positive: Has a kiddified Smallville vibe to it that I really enjoy.
Negative: The relationships between the Turtles are so inconsistent. One minute they're getting along, and the next they're at each other's throats!

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, that's how it is with siblings. I know that's how it is with my sister and me. One minute we're getting along fine, and the next she'll say something to tick me off, and we're fighting. Happens all the time so it doesn't surprise me that the Turtles act this way. I like it because I can relate.

[Luckyday]

^Anybody that said that they had get along perfectly with their siblings as kids is either lying or has a serious case of nostalgia amnesia.

[Creativecreature31]

Negative: This version of April is kinda annoying imo...

Positive: But Karai and Casey make up for her though!

Postive: We haven't seen Mutagen Man lately

Negative: But I know he'll be back eventually.

Negative: Too many pointless mutants in this show.

Positve: Im excited to see Baxterfly, Usagi, and Bebop and Rocksteady though!

Postive: I really like seeing Irma!

Negative: God knows when she'll appear again.

Negative: Fishface's design is such an eye sore

Positive: His voice is pure solid gold though.

[snake]

P: The turtles act like actual brothers
N: Don't show them bonding enough
P: Casey is awesome
N: Aprils story is inconsistent

[Leo2k3]

Negative: Donatellos' crush on April is presented as a character trait.
Positive: The show's action scenes are nice to look at.

[ObiWanFan4life]

How about this:

+ The show has an impressive voice cast, who play their parts well and are convincing in the roles.

- However, said voice cast is either underused, not given much alot to do, or both. (I.E. Phil Lamarr as Baxter Stockman).

That's how my sister and I were up until We were in our mid and late teens. We'd be fine for a while then for some assinine reason we'd be arguing or wrestling.
