Expectations on the turtles

[Sage Ninja]

this might be a little early but since we've been given a glimse of what the turtles personalites are going to be like in the pilote I was womndering what is everyones expectations on the turtles are for this toon.

It seems the turtle's personalites aren't going to stray too far from their personalities from 2k3 and the CGI movie. Which is to be expected. I'm looking foward to seeing Don's crush on April. I thought April and Don's rapport in the 2k3 cartoon was cute and I missed that when the turtles came back from the future. His "crush" was handled subltely in 2k3 and I wonder how it will be handled in the nick toon. As far as his personality I wonder if he is going to be the sweet like he was in 2k3 or if he's going to be a bit of a smart ass like he was in CGI movie; with Rob paulsen voicing him that could be very likely. Or maybe they could go another direction.

Raph is going to be tough again in this series, which I know alot of people where worried about since nick was saying they wanted to follow the OT. I'm hoping he is tough but I hope he isn't going to be overly angsty and mean. I know many people love that, but I find it gets tired rather quickly and I never cared for how hateful and pissy he can become at time **dodges rotten fruit thrown by rabid Raph fans.** I hope he is tough but has some of OT Rapahel laid back disposition and sense of humor to tenper it.

Mike is the one I'm most worried about, because I know he is going to be a goofy little brother that creators have gotten so fond of portraying him as these last few years. He's even supposed to have freckles and be short. Ugh. I can deal with him being the yongest turtle I just don't want him to be so young and goofy he can't handle stuff on his own or he can't take anything seriously like he was in 2k3. I also don't want him to be just this filler character whos there just to laugh at and annoy his siblings. Stupid, annoying Mike I hope I don't see. Not holding my breath though. I hope that in the nick toon they at least make Mike "nice" and sweet and compassionate like he is supposed to be. Thats one thing I think 2k3 fumbled the ball on when it came to 2k3 Mike's portayal. He was too cocky and show off brash and I hope they don't do that to Nick Mike.
