Things you didnt like about 2k3 tmnt

[QUOTE=shuriken;1213840April's progression from cool techy chick to ninja master over 2 seasons.[/QUOTE]


Where did it ever say she was a Master? she was still in training, and obviously so. She only really became good toward he end of the Tengu Shredder arc.

[shuriken]

^^ It never said it. But when she was jumping through Laser obstacles when she, Casey and Splinter rescued the TMNT from Bishop she might as well have been.
I never meant ninja master (not even the tmnt are ninja masters) just very adept to the point of being kind of ridiculous.

Not really, you know you can get a black belt in 3-4 years, right? By Agent Bishop she's been with the turtles for a pretty good amount of time. It's not like she picked up some totally obscure weapon and in a matter of weeks was able to kick the ass of some other true ninja who has been training ALL her life. That would just be stupid.

...wait.

One thing that bothered me slightly about 2k3 April that she seemed a little too perfect. Being a scientist and very intelligent? No problem. But also being very good at martial arts seemed a little too much.

It wouldn't have bothered me as much if they didn't make Casey fail so much in comparison with April. April easily got the best of Casey at times, sure the guy is not the smartest on the block but sometimes his character got "humiliated" pretty badly, and not only regarding April.


On a positive note, I did like how Casey got a better treatment as the series progressed. Not only did the turtles seem to respect him more (Leo seemed especially more protective about Casey later on and Raph seemed to grow closer to Casey over time) I also liked how he got time to shine in for example dragon brew/dragons rising.

And although BttS was far from perfect, Casey finally being able to do martial arts and being more of an equal was a great development, without taking away from the other characters.



EDIT: Other (small) dislike would be too much focus on Leo. A lot of things seemed to revolve around him, it took at times the spotlight away from his brothers. Having said that I love 2k3 Leo's character, especially because with him being the leader, he often seemed to put his "real" personality in second place. I can't help but wonder if Leo hadn't been a leader he could have been a more loose, fun-loving and different character in a way. Maybe a Mikey "light" or a combination of Mikey and Don.

There were so many episodes written out that didn't get made. And I'm upset they cut that trash episode that had hun's Siamese twin for lack of a better term because it was too racey. This series was always on the edge and pushed the buttons and I loved it! I'm upset that FAst Forward didn't get a second season. Really wanted that space utrom
Episode. And the lack of dvd's made and proper releases.

I second that!!!!! I missed the entire run when it aired and only saw a few episodes on dvd. I remember when my local FIVE BELOW store had tons of the various volumes for $5 each but I didn't buy them thinking they would get released in season sets.....then NOTHING. No dvd's to be found. I WANT TO SEE THIS SHOW!! Please release these soon....

The better term is conjoined twin...

If you wanna see the whole series,
Go to tmntuploader on YouTube not xxtmntuploader or any variation like that. He has great quality stuff, full episodes, good quality and episodes that are 3 patters he makes into "movies" so dot have to watch all individually which is very convenient!

Thanks for the tip! I rarely watch movies/shows on the pc and doubt I would watch entire seasons of a ripped show on the 'net...but it's good to know they are out there!! I might have to give it a shot. I really want these on dvd in a bad way!!

I didn't care much for the bulky design, either.

Also, didn't like Casey much, he just seemed so dumb.

Would have liked to have seen more of the Dark Turtles.

I guess that's it. Oh, yeah, and the whole Shredder thing was weird, but whatever. Overall, I was okay with it.

Oh, and the eyes, I hated that they were just nearly always whited out, it gave me the creeps (I like how Nick alternates them).

I totally agree with that. It was terrible. They should keep the first animation of the show( seasons 1-5) the only thing I like about the Back to the sewers design is the turtles having green eyes.

Also I didn't like that Cody Jones or that annoying robot Serling , the fact that Stockman didn't die and that Cyber Shredder.

And it's not like she was training with ALL the weapons like they did. She pretty much seemed to stick to the swords like Leo- who was probably her main teacher besides Splinter. I see it as she got the "lite" version of the training, or maybe more of the gymnastic and basic combat training, without all the other aspects. In other words, she was training more on a purely physical aspect, whereas they had taken the time to study the full range of skills- stealth, archery, various combat types, climbing, meditation, blind-fighting, etc. She also seems to have focused more on kunoichi-type skills and those that relied less on strength than the turtles did.

Why? A person can't be good at both? She is the poster-girl for the old proverb "a sound mind in a sound body". Or, to put it another way, she was using both mind and body to their full potential. Nothing wrong with that. I think it says something about her character that she wanted to learn in the first place. She was improving herself physically, to be more of a help to them. It was a natural progression, not a ridiculous super-power or special ability that any other reasonably fit person couldn't also achieve.

gotta disagree w/ those things
1st off, I think casey was HILARIOUS in it

2ndly, the big muscles were cool along w/ the solid white eyes and gave a bit of a elitist feel

as far as shredder was during it, totally interesting twist and wish they had more involving his utrom and demon forms, his cyber form was mehhh........

also, I think of the tribunal season as the 2nd best season of the show, it was totally sweet how the inner power thing was added




1 of the few things I don't like is how the show ended, yeah the wedding ep was a gd touch but didn't have a single bit of closure and there were so many loose ends

I didn't get elitist at all from their eyes being whited out; I absolutely hated that design feature.

I just didn't like the big muscles, but I can understand how others would like it (not like it caused me to not watch the show at all).

Overall, I did like the show. This thread is for the stuff you didn't like in it.

[MrTMNT2012]

The dialogue. Just, the dialogue!

What? Most of the dialogue was pretty well done in the show. I think you mean the jokes or banter.

He had his moments. I still crack up when he mimic's Mikey's voice and says "Air Mail"

I have to agree they make Casey appear to have a mental deficiency at times.
I understand he is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but damn if they did not make him look like a complete incompetent idiot.

This always comes to mind:



(That's Casey's hiding place in The Golden Puck).

[Donatello19]

*The animation style
*The voices for Raph and Mikey
*April never felt important, she always felt like she was there just to be there
*Casey being an idiot
*The humor
*Fast Forward and Back to the Sewer
*Mostly boring, mindless mutants
*Overall, I think it tried to take itself too seriously at times
