Season 2 is portraying him a bit better, though. I know people hated the Shellacne ep, but I actually liked it because he figured out correctly where Baxter, Dogpound, and Xever were and hated the fact he wasn't being taken seriously. I hate the fact that the others don't. He's also sometimes clumsy and goofs up, and that bothers me too and he seemed to be portrayed as incompetent, but like i said, seems this season is trying to rectify that. This current ep was great and portrayed Mikey in a way he should've been portrayed from the beginning.

I dont see it like that though, take away those traits ("develop") and then you'll have a leo jr. raph jr. etc.
He's not dumb but he is unfocused, carefree, and a prank/jokster which is why the team doesn't take him seriously. He picks on/ trolls his brother just as much as they pick on him. He's the annoying runt kid brother that loves and fights for the attention and spotlight. That's the difference between him and his brothers take that away and you're taking away mikey.
when mikey does focus or, is right about something and comes through for his brothers it's what makes those moments extra special.
