Nick TMNT just isnt for me, the characters are too jokey, are prone to making too many mistakes, the freaks of the week are poorly realized with rather uncreative traits and names, Karai and April teenagers arent really all that interesting as teenage girls and fall into the predictable beats associated with that, like angst, short-sightedness, and immaturity, which in April's case, just comes across as jarring and out-of-character. The Kranng are supposed to be this insanely badass alien race of conquerors but their mannerisms and dialouge make it impossible to take them seriously compared to say, 4Kids Ch'rell
No, 4Kids may have had it's flaws, and two lousy final seasons, but it kept my attention with strong writing, great fight scenes, mature characters, complex themes, less routine episodes, and truly memorable and unique realizations of Shredder, Baxter, and Karai that werent just routine Saturday morning villain like the Nick show provides.
