The maturity of other versions is nice and works in those versions, but the fact that they are always supposedly teens but were always portrayed more like adults is kind of strange really. The Nick show is a nice change of pace and it's nice to actually see them come across more like the age they say they are. Which, even if you can't see it, is a plus, because assuming the show still lasts for a while, having them actually act like the kids that they are gives the show room to actually let them grow up. Rather than being stuck at one mentality the whole time. We've already seen this with Leo, he already is more serious, etc., than he was when the series started. The events of the end of season 2 forced him to grow up a bit and he has. He's not lame...he's just young. If this show lasted a long time or was continued into an older version, I am sure this young Leo is headed in the direction of being much like the older-seeming versions of Leo we already know.

He's been my fave forever and love this youngster as much as the other versions. Personally I think they've done fairly well by him.

The last series already starts with them being highly trained, it worked there. This time we're seeing them still learning and growing. If you don't like the possibility for gradual development of characters and prefer they start off at the top and stay there, well then stick with the series you do like, that's all I can suggest. This one is it's own thing and isn't going to become what you want.

I think you summed this up really well...this is how I feel 100%.
