Does the Nick series need more original characters?

[thundermaster612]

By original I mean its own characters that haven't been seen in other TMNT media like Fishface and Snakeweed and The Creep and stuff. Lately the writers have been looking too closely upon the old versions, its one of the bad things in my opinion about them. If the season 1 writers stayed, would we have more new characters? We did get quite a few new ones at the beginning of season 3 but not too many. The Nick series needs its own uniqueness, something that can be later on defined not just as that one series created by the famous Nickelodeon or that one homaging series, I'm not saying its defined by that now and it might not later but it kind of is consider most people refer to it as the Nick series rather than the 2012 series. I mean the other series are referred to by premiere years not production company. So go ahead and speak your opinion (in a non-cancerous way) about whether the Nick series should or should not have more original, new characters.
