If you could only change one aspect of the Nick series, what would it be?

[Coola Yagami]

Glad to see my term plot amnesia caught on. Here's hoping it gets its own page at TVTropes. lol although this is the only show I ever seen that did something like this.

But yeah that's the thing I would change. The plot amnesia.

And btw... this show has no shipping. The show actually does have a Don/April/Casey love triangle. It wasn't made up by the fans. Shipping is stuff like fans making up stuff not in the show, like Raph/Karai and Mikey/April.

Okay, I finally have a serious answer that goes under "other". So far, I would change how season 3 started. I would've preferred it if we would've seen the other five adjusting to this life they have for a while with Leo still being out instead of starting after his coma. At least a couple of episodes.

At this point, everyone seems too well-adjusted. Why did Raph decide to be vigilant to watch over Leo (aside from its being in the comic)? How did Donnie cope or act since he blamed himself for Leo's condition? Is Casey's goofiness a front over worrying over his father and sister? How did April cope since bringing Irma to the lair jump-started everything? How did Mikey cope? Did he act the way he did at the end of the finale? With Raph trying to console and comfort him? Was he like this for a while before trying to be optimistic about everything again and quoting Splinter?

This was something I was hoping to see after the season finale. After the heavy, then the lightheartedness of like A Foot too Big (still thought that episode was hilarious).

I guess more emotional moments after a tragic situation or a heavy situation.

yes yes yes.... I was so hoping for this....missed opportunity...

I chose the depiction of characters, lack of some, too much of others. There just isn't enough Raph for me. Too many times has he been sidelined for some reason or another, and too much focus on the other Turtles. Like I said, I feel April gets better story arcs, and has had more screen time in the second half of season 2 and already in the first two episodes of season 3. Enough already, it's supposed to be about the 4 brothers. Not just two of them, April, Casey, and then when they feel they are needed, then go ahead and give Mikey and Raph some character development, but then go back to concentrating on the new team, Don, Leo, April and Casey. Because that's what I feel it is.

For me, I would classify that under the "Plot/Arc Amnesia" option, because those details of the characters/story are not addressed in the show.

Technically, that is correct that the show doesn't have "shipping" since there are no official couples yet in the show, but the fact the show is so strongly leaning toward April/Donatello, April/Casey, and Leo/Karai made me choose the broad term. **shrug** Nevertheless though for this particular case, I think most of the users understand how that term is being applied in the poll option.

As for your "plot amnesia" term, thanks Coola Yagami! It was the best term ("amnesia") to articulate what was occurring with those plotlines!

That's what I mean. The show DOES have the April/Don, Casey/April and Leo/Karai thing going on. It's not a made-up thing the fans made up.

Shipping is stuff NOT in the show that fans made up. Like whoa, Raph called Karai hot so there must be a Raph/Karai thing. Or hey, April said more than two words to Leo, so there must be a Leo/April thing going on. Slash/Karai, Tiger Claw/Karai, Raph/random blonde woman we see running around the city sometimes, April/pizza boy. etc

And we mustn't forget about Casey x Donnie. That whole Ho Chan ep was just a front. That hug they were going for was supposed to be for each other, but it would be strange for them to hug one another so they had to get April in the middle.

The infamous Irma scene. We need more females in the show.

Why is that exactly?

[TerranigmaFreak]

Character shipping/love triangle.

[THGhost]

Seth Green as Leonardo. I'm just not feeling it yet.

What the heck is "Shipping" referring to?

[BabyTurtles]

I find it funny(but not surprised) that the shipping has the most votes.

I really wish the writers would let it go already

[raph27]

Biggs as Leo. I'm sorry I just flat out do not like Dominic's voice. I'm still trying to give Seth a chance.
Oh, or maybe April hanging out with the other turtles more.

[Lisardo]

I chose "Other, explain in post". So here I go...

I'd choose to not have Irma be a robot the whole time (the eff?). Also I'd choose to not have Seth Green voicing Leo. Sorry, but his voice doesn't stick with me as Leo for some reason; sounds too gravelly.

There are other little minor things too, but it's stuff that's already been discussed.

Okay... I get it. I guess I need to brush up on my fan terminology.

Maybe I should have said, "The Crushes and Love Triangle(s)" then...? I thought "romance" was too strong of a term to use there since it implies a strong and intense affair between two people, and not one-sided like a crush.

[ssjup81]

Some more plot amnesia. I hate the fact they seem to forget that Donnie has a blade in his staff. I really wish he'd use it more, or find ways to have him use it more.

[Powder]

Kraang invasion plot (which for me, includes the mutant of the week type stuff). They're hilarious, imposing & well designed, a real threat, unique in personality, totally like them. I just see waaayyy too much of them, & it usually feels somewhat re-hashed, at that. The season finales especially. Fill up some of that Kraang time with more introspective "hanging out" episodes, so we can get to know each turtle a little more intimately, & maybe some turtle tot flashback episodes (there's a lot of turtle history we don't know! How'd they pick their masks & weapons? Training missions? etc). Or just continuously include more villains of another variety. Chinese vampires. Kung fu school on vacation. Mystics. Witch Doctors. Magicians from the east. Mirage had all kinds of funky human & otherworldly baddies you could take influence from or even reboot. Mobsters from the OT would be another awesome sect to go up against.

[snake]

Probably some consistancy to the Kraang or April's powers.

[Netkeeper]

Initially, this was a bit of a tough choice between the depiction of the characters and the shipping, but my biggest problem is with Donnie's depiction, and my biggest problem with Donnie's depiction is how he acts around April. Not to mention the other shippy things going on here.

The show would actually be watchable for me if the shipping was removed. Which is unfortunate, since I normally quite like it. But these writers just cannot do it. Leave that to the fandom, please. I wouldn't vote to improve it. Just take it out.

Not that I wouldn't still have complaints, but at least I could find the show enjoyable on the whole.

[HotNunchuckFury]

I don't really like the April/Kraang connection, but I voted Love Triangles because that is so much worse and crops up so frequently. It's completely ruining this version of Donnie for me, who I otherwise like. Overall I love the show, just wish they'd drop the romance, it was never needed.
