I have a few:

Angry Raphael - I understand the short-tempered behavior some have, but why? ...Why? As Powder said, his anger is one-dimensional. I know some reincarnations have dealt with it because of his solitary, unique existence in being a mutant Turtle, but you would wish that he was smart enough to eventually realize to at least not direct his anger toward the very same people (his brothers and other friends) who care about him which ironically, would make Raphael even more alone. (I know in Archie's Future Raphael, he tells the current one to enjoy his family more, but ironically isn't Future Raphael still just as bitter or more so?)
I mean I'm not expecting him to completely lose his irritable, short-tempered, choleric personality, but there needs to be some substantial growth in that area though.

Mona Lisa - Yes, it was adorable that Raphael "met his match" in playful sarcasm, but her popularity is so unbalanced considering she's only been in one episode. The only way I could try to figure it out, is that there must be a significant amount of female viewers that can somehow...empathize with her...? (Besides the "furry" aspect, maybe it's the girl who can finally "tame" hotheaded Raphael as with Ninjara.)

Tokka and Rahzar - They were just brain-dead mutants in the second movie, and somehow their positions have been elevated as almost a "necessity" as part of the TMNT franchise. At least with Bebop and Rocksteady, even though they were dumb, at least they had a unique humorous bond that was shown in the OT, but yet they are considered "less important" than Tokka and Rahzar.

I think the OT just highlighted the failures of Krang and Shredder in a louder and humorous way than with the other villains in other versions of TMNT. Most to all plans of the villains are going to fail eventually in destroying the Turtles or taking over the world, as in every version of TMNT.
