Slash was more naive that flat-out dumb in his his first episode. TMNT_guy analyzed the episode perfectly. The Turtles had years of training and whatnot before they met April, and even then they were making niave-ish mistakes like Don not knowing how to use the answering machine and whatnot in April's apartment. Slash was mutated that very same day. Plus, he was able to take down all 4 Turtles by himself. They couldn't beat him in combat, they had to trick him to get rid of him.

The deal was the other episodes he was in. In 'Donatello trashes Slash', they were already rippin on him before he even appeared in the episode. And yes, the episode was all about how 'dumb-as-a-brick Slash' was now a super-genius, but he never acted THAT dumb in his premiere episode to begin with. Such an idea would have worked better with Bebop and Rocksteady who were already clearly established as morons. Then in 'Night of the Rogues' he became just another bad guy to get beaten with no problem, and acted extremely dumb to keep the whole 'Slash-is-so-dumb' thing they started with the last episode.

The one and only!

I am reading a lot of Neutrino hate... And I get it, but the entire OT was absurd so having silly characters was what made it so great. I liked the neutrinoes when I was a kid and I still like them now.
I have a hard time picking characters from the OT that I hate just because I think the stupid ones were the most entertaining when I was a kid.

I do have a few characters I don't care for from the 2k3 series and from the comics.
The Justice Force sucks. Garbageman sucks. And Jammerhead sucks.
Bloodsucker was weird. And I don't think I really ever got Complete Carnage. He and Radical are strange to me

Carter and Garbageman for me. They always seemed as if they were characters that did nothing to add to both the old and new shows.

I don't get the Neutrino hate either.... I didn't like them the first time I watched season 1, but they quickly grew on me.

And while I hated the second Garbageman episode, I thought the first one was a great throw-back to the OT.

I can't bring myself to hate any original cartoon characters simply because they were all done to be as ridiculous as possible.

Even those one-shot mad scientists had some appeal, even the ugly crazy ones.

OT-I enjoyed the Neutrinos. I have seen the first episode of slash and I hated him, but the second episode he sounds awesome. I truthfully only hate Mr.Ogg.

2K3- I hate justice force and I love how dark shredder is but I hate that he is an alien. I loved hun at first as well, but I hate him in btts.

Next Mutation-I didn't hate venus, but Laird hates her so much he denies her as a part of the TMNT universe.

Bottom Line
OT-Mr. ogg
2K3-Justice Force and BTTS-Hun
Next Mutation-None

Srry But I forgot to mention I have to give a shout out to- Oldmanwinters
Those are some awesome sketches. Two thumbs up on them!!!!

Mr. Ogg! How could I have forgotten about him? Glad he is only in one episode. Because he is truly despicable.

Yet in the episode 'Turtlemaniac' that guy had a Mr. Ogg wax statue amongst all the other Turtle memorbilia.

Neutrinos, especially that girl that had a crush on Michelangelo.

Cody Jones but only because FF was pretty dumb to begin with.

I like Keno. Even today. I always thought he was cool for some reason.

Upon further deliberation, I think I figured why I go easier on OT characters. It's because they were created with the intention of being silly. It's a comedic show, not to be taken seriously... the goofier, the better.
It's the 2k3 series and Mirage that I find more fault with stupid characters because they are based less on comedy and more on adventure.

For me, I have to be in a certain state of mind when I watch the characters. If you sit down to watch the OT and are hoping for a gritty serious show, you probably can add EVERY character to your "most hated character" list because they all fall short of any real seriousness.

It just annoyed me that Venus had to be the most mature of the group in TNM.

To me, that guy that look like Buddy Holly in the old cartoon.

Unlike the REAL Buddy Holly, this guy could not sing if his life depended on it.

He was so bad at singing, he was breaking stuff just by singing. I cant belive he came back for other go around in the mask of the phatom like showing.

He was even worse in his return.


I had to put the show on mute just when I saw a getar in his hand lol.

Howie was his name. Great.


I just never understood why they think bad singing was funny.

Sure they had other people I didnt think much of, but at least most of thsos guys had something that Howie lack.

Zack and his girlfreind were like GODs in the cart department compare to Howie lol. Add in Zack's brother too.

I started being a fan of them after Howie made his showing.

I didn't like Howie, but his first episode is quite enjoyable, I think. His second appearance... I watched it once, and never again
