* CanonSue: Probably one of the reasons Cody Jones is considered TheScrappy in most fans' eyes. Every other episode he seems to be saving the Turtles from some bad situation, despite the fact that they've been learning the ways of ninjitsu their whole lives, whilst he's only been learning ninjitsu for the past few months...

*** Some fans of the old cartoon were fine with the 2003 cartoon at least existing, until ''Turtles Forever'' came out, which seemed to some to go out of it's way to mock the 1987 series and make the 2003 series look superior.

** In "The Shredder Strikes Back, Part 2" many of the Foot Ninjas are knocked out by the Turtles and Master Splinter, so when the Shredder blows up the shop (and by extension, the apartment above), it can be assumed that they perished in the resulting explosion. Although Stockman says in "Tales of Leo" that 'there's no conclusive proof to say anyone, turtle or human, perished in the fire', that still doesn't mean that all of the Foot Ninjas escaped the blast; it merely means that Stockman doesn't have enough data to prove it

*CompleteMonster: Ch'rell was an [[StarfishAliens Utrom]] criminal who was imprisoned by his people for his various crimes. Ch'rell managed to force the transport ship he was being carried on to crash on Earth. Ch'rell escaped and [[MobileSuitHuman took the guise]] of an Japanese crime boss named [[IHaveManyNames Oroku Saki, better known as the Shredder]]. Shredder wanted revenge on his people and went to great lengths to find the Utroms still on marooned Earth.
**In ''WesternAnimation/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2003'' Shredder attacked Splinter's master, Hamato Yoshi, believing he worked for the Utroms. After having his minions work over Yoshi with [[ElectricTorture torture]], Shredder personally killed Yoshi, an act that would lead to Shredder becoming the Turtles ArchEnemy. Shredder's Foot Ninja also kidnapped innocent people and mutated them into monsters to use as slave labor to try a locate a possible Utrom base underground. Shredder has shown to be a very cruel [[BadBoss boss]]. He murders one of his men who [[YouHaveFailedMe failed]] to deliver some stolen goods for him, due to the Turtles involvement. Shredder also would punish [[MadScientist Baxter Stockman]] for his failures, by [[AnArmandaLeg grievously injuring him]], until eventually Stockman was nothing more then a BrainInAJar. Shredder also displayed a complete disregard for human life, after an [[AlienInvasion Triceraton Invasion]] resulted in Beijing becoming a [[FloatingContinent city floating in the sky]], Shredder decides to steal the anti gravity generator that is keeping the city in the air. When [[TheDragon Karai]] [[EvenEvilHasStandards objects]] noting that stealing the generator will result in the city crashing into the ground and killing millions in the process, Shredder overrules her and tells her to do it anyway. Some of Shredder's worst crime happen when Donatello visits a BadFuture where Shredder is a [[EvilOverlord dictator]] who controls the world. Shredder has SecretPolice on the streets to round up any dissenters and is using both Utrom and human slave labor (with humans having to work 18 hours a day) to build a giant [[TeleportersAndTransporters teleportation device]], so Shredder can conquer other planets. In this future, Shredder executes his former servant Hun, while Hun is begging to be let back into the Shredder's service.

*** Though not popular, Sterling is probably one of the biggest woobies. Most, if not all the fans hate him and in-universe, the other characters treat him like a slave sans Splinter and Cody, suffers bad luck which is sometimes caused by his buttmonkey status, while other times, his pain and suffering is deliberately caused by the turtles (i.e. trapping him inside a video game surronded by extra lives that look and act like the turtles). Honestly, it's a miracle he never tried to commit robot suicide.

** Leonardo could also be considered to be an IronWoobie/StoicWoobie by some fans, since he generally the most likely to suffer a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown, teeter on the brink of death, experience HeroicBSOD and is even acknowledged in one episode by Michelangelo to shoulder the majority of the responsibility so that his brothers are free to be themselves. This Troper in particular just wants to rush in and hug him whenever he's severely injured or put in harms way, and let's not forget his [[spoiler: near decline into KnightTemplar-hood in Season 4 as he struggled to deal with PTSD following the events of 'Exodus']]. Who honestly didn't want to just wrap him in a blanket and give him a big hug?

** Really Season 4 was the high point with some complex and surprisingly well written arcs for both Leonardy and Michelangelo. The two retools made the show much more child friendly and typical (robots, digital realms, collect the clues saga), but Season 4 stands as a nice end to a good cartoon.

As noted, the turtles are not aliens in the new film.

** The ''Fast Forward'' season with the turtles living among aliens could count as this, considering Creator/MichaelBay's announcement that the turtles will be aliens in his film.
*** Not so much now since it has recently been confirmed that nothing about the turtles has changed and Bay isn't really in charge of the film's development other than financing it.

The DVD volumes and sets previously released by [=4Kids=] have gone out of print, and good luck trying to get them all up to the Fast Forward season now: several of them go anywhere from $75 up to $''200''.

** The Utrom Shredder and Stockman are hated for repeatedly cheating death.
