Are you hoping AprilxCasey happens again this series?

My problem with romance especially in Western media and especially when we already have 20 min episodes where we are trying to squeeze in way too much plot that it already seems rushed it that when characters start falling in love for some reason it seems like the romance then takes over the ENTIRE freaking plot of the story and that nothing else matters. It's what irks me the most about media in the USA as we seem to be one of the worst offenders in it within the concepts of our writing.

Don't get me wrong I will love a good romantic story and ship at times as much as the next female out there. But I usually start a show because I know it has romantic elements and I am looking forward to seeing that development. I would mind romance if I didn't feel like it would then take over everything else. Even Donnie with April in this cartoon, his crush on her has been more then 75% of his character and his development in this series. People keep complaining we don't see enough of Don interacting with his other brothers well when they need to fit in some kind of Don with April or Don obsessing over April scene into each 22 min episode it's hard to also fit in a Don with brother scene.

I don't want romance because I don't want it taking over the plot of the show. That was part of the reason I liked the way they handled April and Casey in 4Kids. You knew how much the two of them meant to one other, but it never over shadowed the guys and the insanity they are often dealing with.

I feel like the last few weeks the show has been more about Don and April or Leo and Karai and less about well, anything else the Turtles have been doing. It's not that I want the guys alone but I want to see something developed that it doesn't have to completely change the background and spirit of the franchise and show just so they can have girlfriends.

Turtles has always been first and foremost about the brotherhood between the characters if we have to loose that so we can have luv then no I am not interested.
