grouping characters together

*BabyTurtles* · 03-04-2014, 10:30 PM

okay...So I noticed something this show does a lot...it seems to group characters together...

like Karai's stories usually have a lot of Leo in it...

April's stories have a lot of Donnie and recently Casey in it.

Splinter's stories also seem to mostly have Leo shine also...

you get me?

do you guys think this is bad to do? Like it stops the show from having potentially interesting interactions?

like say....April and Raph need to work together to get something done.. or maybe Mikey and Karai get stuck together somewhere and need to find a way out.

I was kinda glad to hear Casey would have a certain relationship with all the turtles...I hope we see more of that.

so what do you think?

They need more Leo/Mike stories. Always like the oldest/youngest brother dynamic.

They always pair Mike/Raph together though.

*NinjaMan* · 03-04-2014, 10:47 PM

I want a Leo/Casey pairing and Leatherhead and Casey pairing.

yea, I didn't really expect those 2 to be a team o_o but it should be interesting to see.

And the OT and 2k3 Leo and Mikey teamed up a lot. Don and Raph have never been paired togethor often times just butting heads when they are in the same scene. Would make and intersting episode.

I'm hoping we get one this season since the writers said he'd be paired with each turtle. I'm dying to see how they'd work as a team

I'd also like more Leo / Donnie personally.

*Warhorse* · 03-06-2014, 12:12 AM

I always wanted some more Raph and Donny, since these two never seem to have a rapport, and it would be nice to see a series touch up on that.

And then maybe a team effort between Raph and Karai (since he does not trust her and hates her, but she likes him for his spunk and that he does not let his guard down around her)

*victory_angel* · 03-06-2014, 01:52 AM

Metalhead Rewired was a Leo/Donnie ep and we are bound to see more of those. So we are likely to see a Raph/Donnie ep before long, after all there is no reason the brains and the brawn of the group needs to be so off kilter unless the writers are planning something with that.

It really is predictable you get Shredder/Karai it seems to be always Leo/Splinter when it Kraang it April/Don most of the time. Hope it changes. I'm guessing Tiger Claw going to be more, Leo than the rest hope it wont,but most likely will.

yea see that's my problem....it's getting so predictable...

it'd be nice to see it mix up a little....

like have a Splinter episode be about another turtle other than Leo for starters.

he has more than one son.

Why is something being predictable a problem, I see this argument all the time.

If this is the case, why should anyone ever see a superhero movie when you know the good guy always wins in the end?

If it's done well, I don't care how predictable something is. If they can make it super exciting getting from point A to point B, I won't think less of something because I predicted it. I called Metalhead getting destroyed in Metalhead Rewired, I didn't care that I knew. It was a fantastic done episode.

That's like saying right now, you'll have a problem with the Mutagen Man saga when it starts up again, because you know that will focus on Donnie? Well shouldn't he?

Well if my belief that Donnie is an in-the-closet pacifist and that it will be the episodes involving Mutagen Man that start to bring that part out of him. I can see Splinter encouraging Donnie to embrace that aspect about himself.

I can also see Splinter being more involved With Donnie as the Triangle between Casey, April, and himself forms.

Leo and Donnie seem to be the only Turtles that seem to need Splinter more.

Mikey need's to focus, and generally the times Mikey does need to focus he focuses on something Donnie has told him...not Splinter.

And Raph has to learn how to control his Temper but he can be with any of his brothers for that.

I don't mean the plot or anything I meant it's predictable which character is gonna get grouped together....

I understand Mutagen man and Metalhead being grouped with Donnie, because Tim is Don's responsibility and Metalhead is Don's creation

but characters like Splinter and April shouldn't be grouped, they should be more universal.

Casey is hanging with Donnie more, I don't see why Splinter, April, and even Karai should be exclusive.

Splinter's their father.
April's their friend
Karai's is now their sister.

All I want is more interactions.

which would make interesting situations.

It only make sense for Tiger Claw to be more about Leo though, they have similar fighting styles, guy's like him and Karai are here to give Leo tough fights. To help him become a better Samurai / sword fighter.

Any ways, Leo / Donnie need more episodes, that's gotta be my favorite team, besides Raph / Leo that is.

Ask for Mikey, he just needs more of every thing right now besides different team ups but that's for another topic

Edit ;

I agree about April, why have Donnie spend all the time with April? I hope after his crush on April is over that she spends more time with the other turtles..

he does though...he's getting so shafted....it's killing me....

but yea....for another topic...T^T.....

anyway...Tiger Claws has guns....how is that Leo's fighting style..??

Yah, poor Mikey.

He also knows how to fight with swords, he broke Leo's swords dang good. Tiger Claw would keep calling Leo a cub, I think that should lead to him growing a bit, into a Tiger, that make sense? It'd make a good story arc for Leo in my opinion

But again, another topic

I know what people mean about Splinter though, wonder why the writers always group Leo with Splinter like that? Even in the 2003 series they did that a lot. It almost makes it seem likeLeo is his favorite LOL.

Most of all, like I said I'd like some more Leo / Donnie episodes

well....on the first Nick TMNT CD it says on Leo's bio that Leo is Splinter's favorite student.

favoritism!! XD

anyway...that's exactly why I don't want people to get grouped together!
