I agree, I'm hoping they'll fill that void by having the Raph and Casey dynamic really kick off and reach the heights it as at times during the IDW run.

I really hope you're right. I want to see them do more with that relationship than they have so far. Raphael hasn't had as much going on as the others. Hope they fix that.

I don't know, I think of the Nick Leo as more or less the younger version of the Leo we got in the 1990 movie. He was serious when he needed to be, but for the most part, he was easy going.

Raphs have already gotten better in season 2. he now has his interaction with casey, and the spike/slash plot. so the only one really lacking is mikey, and, as ciro has said that they mature, i imagine he'll get some better ones in season 3

Yeah, we still got 2 more seasons for sure. I hope they change things up and give some really great storylines and moments to shine for Mikey and Raph by then. Bebop and Rocksteady are coming, I remember Raph having a blast beating the hell out of those two in the toon. Triceratons and probably Mona Lisa will be coming too, and Mikey and Raph have had some pretty good storylines with those arcs.

Maybe that's why I like Leo for this incarnation so much. He is pretty easygoing and doesn't feel like a surrogate father to the other three. I know I've mentioned it elsewhere, but as a kid, I never favored Leo much (OT) because he was just there. He didn't come across as interesting to me. He was just....the leader, but to be fair, I felt the same about Donny. He was the smart one. Raph and Mikey were funny and interesting! lol The bias kinda stuck with me through pretty much all the previous incarnations I've been exposed to (although for Archie, I felt Leo and Mikey didn't get enough focus). The Nick version, though, has finally caused Leo to become a favorite for me! It took 20+ years, but it's finally happened. I love his development in this and his easy-going personality.

I'm still a bit indifferent about Bebop and Rocksteady being brought into the series in general, but whatcha gonna do, right? As for Mona Lisa...as much as I would like to see her again, I'm indifferent with her too. It sure would be something if Mona Lisa turned out to be April's mutated mother (and would be cool if Renae is voicing her).

Hopefully with those two, along with some Dimension X stuff, will get a bit more focus to highlight their characters. Even if the four do get "equal focus" as some others have put it, it still feels like the Leo & Donnie show, co-starring Raph and Mikey.
