Most incompetent version of the Turtles?

All teens are not the same, the idea that teens are constant screw ups are some general society view thing. When i was in high school i remember this dude that graduated high school a year early cause he actually went to summer school every year. And while i was laughing that he went to summer school because i was just partying every day when not working, and working had a bit of responsibility too, i was later impressed cause he had his poop together and had a plan and he made it happen. While i was just doing things last second which ended up not turning out the way i wanted some times. . . all the time

In this cartoon there doesnt seem a range of this. It's pretty much everyone messing up just so there could be a reason to have the events of an episode happen. Which is "technically" fine for kids because kids have the memory of a goldfish and by the time they have Don's experiment mess up again they would have forgotten the last time it happen.... in the previous episode, right?

The problem is, I hate to give this as an example as I'm sure many fans won't like this comparison but it's like Pokemon this version. The turtles being Ash, every series they start over and act like that didn't happen till needed, or in this case episode.

Due to this they will have trouble growing and learning from past mistakes.
I hope they fix this, I hate waiting forever to find out reactions or what happens in the arc ( Course that's another topic )

But they are not regular teen's, they have basically spent their whole life training to be ninjas. You would think they would learn disciprin by now?

THIS.

I don't mind the Turtles making mistakes. I just wish after they do their mistakes, Splinter would say something wise and they would do anything in their power to fix things.

We should be seeing more of this seeing how parental the new Splinter is...

The Turtles shouldn't be apathetic over what happens to the other Mutants or if they get discovered...

This is exactly my problem with how the turtles are being portrayed. I really like them being called out on their reckless nature, such as when Leo was dallying with Karai in Season 1 and his family called him out on it. But it seems these issues are brought up and then completely forgotten the next episode.

There should be more consequences when they **** up...

The current version on Nick. It is hard for me to relate to it. Meh.

Agreed. However I think a lot of this seems to be a part of the persistent plot amnesia that seems to be so prevalent in the show. If they were forced to follow up on the previous plots as a mainstay instead of doing the mutant-of-the-week stuff, I think the writers would have the Turtles remember their lessons a lot better. We would get to see the consequences since they'd have to put them in there for stuff to make sense, and it wouldn't look like the Turtles end up getting off scott free every time.

Also, what is that .gif that you have in your signature? Is it from a movie?

It feels more like a power rangers show than the ninja turtles...
It's from Evil Dead 2, you should check it out, it's an awesome movie...
