  • Give Venus a bit more of character, a better origin
  • No magic powers

Hmm I guess better costumes, I was happy with NM Don and NM Raph but the rest I couldn't stand. Try to give them a personality that matched their character and not as annoying like Leo and Mike. Never be offiliated with the Power Rangers again. No VENUS! No Dragon Lord either...more Shredder. Try not to make the show too much like the PR! *was never a fan of Power Rangers*

No Venus, or if she must be, redesign her with no boobs. turtles. don't. have. boobs. and no magic.

No Dork Lord and his stupid little Salacius Crumb wannabe sidekick

Normal bandanas, not this crappy ripped look on Raph, or full head ones...they look funny

and improve the mechanics, voices, and redesign the turtles.

New writers. (FANS!)

I kinda liked the idea of individual bandana styles...but Donny's could have used some work. I mean one big eye slit...gah...any Don fan (and he's my new 2nd fave.) should almost vomit when they see that atrosity. Ever wonder why Raphie is the one who stays the most true to the original mirage style?? (he's the one they kept red and the one they gave the most normal bandana....despite the ragety ness...the fig's bandana isn't bad though.... But in my humble opinion, the NM figs were the best thing about the series...)

I agree that better costumes are needed, or make it animated. Though the “cels” for that didn’t look all that promising either.

I would change the writing. There were just so many awkward moments in that show (and I don’t mean that the situation called for awkwardness, that’s something else entirely.) And while I’ll admit that sometimes tweaking a character’s personality for the focus group may be necessary, they went farther than they needed to.

I would totally revamp Venus. They made her an awkward character with no reason for this. If they’d shown that her lack of control of her powers, and her attempts to fit in (aka her mutilation of American slang), were the result of the only family she knew being destroyed, her life being uprooted and plopped down into a very different culture, and desperately wanting the security of her new family, all while she tried to combat evil… Yeah, that would gone over better for me.

Wick was damn annoying, give him a more serious personality and lock him in the apothecary lab. Mei-Xing is now the Dragon Lord’s second-in-command. (For those who don’t know, Mei-Xing’s an RPG character of mine.) In fact, all the dragons need to be a bit more intimidating. All the bad guys need to be more intimidating.

I hate it when good potential goes bad.

I liked the idea of Venus and the way she was (magic powers and such), but I thought she was creepy looking. Re-vamp her design and I'd like her even more! (keep in mind, I never really saw this series so...)

Venus isn't a sister. In fact in NM the turtles aren't brothers. Leo says to Venus, "Were just mutanrt boy and mutant girl....Oh we're not brothers. We petshop turtles born and bred on a turtle farm." an attemopt to keep the option of romance alive i reckon

I agree with Buslady 100%!!!

...And please! No pro-wrestling looking gear and outfits! They look soooo stupid with it on! *nearly throws up from TNM turtles' horrible sense of style*

Okay.


The turtles would be related. The whole "not-relatives-so-Venus-can-have-a-relationship" thing is just retarded.
Venus would be way different.
I'd give her a white mask, and she wouldn't beat up the guys and Shredder so easily.
New costumes if live action, but I'd prefer animated.
No Power Rangers. Just please, God, no.

The best thing about the NM was the toys. I have all the TMNT but Mike, can't seem to find him anywhere. The splinter figure was terrible, but all the others rocked. The weapons could have used improvment, but all else is well.
