** Some fans are under the impression that this show was the first adaptation of TMNT to have the Turtles with visible iris even when they are wearing their masks, which morph into [[IrislessEyeMaskOfMystery white eyes]] during dramatic moments. The Turtles alternating between having visible iris and [[IrislessEyeMaskOfMystery blank white eyes]] even when wearing masks, depending on the mood can be traced as far back as the [[ComicBook/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtlesMirage original Mirage comics]], [[https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/tmnt/images/f/ff/Decentburial.png especially in the fourth volume]], but even in the very first volume, like issue 45, which was illustrated by Dan Berger.
** The Turtles' [[DivergentCharacterEvolution unique body types]] was also something that was already done in [[Film/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles1990 the original 1990 Live-Action movie]], where Raph was the burliest, Leo was slimmer, Mike was shorter with rounder and cuter features and Don was muscular but with chubby cheeks, indicating a mix of body fat and muscle. The differences in the movie was kept subtle, while here, they are slightly exaggerated making them more pronounced.

** Michelangelo is considered by the fans as being either funny or annoying. He became even more divisive with the fans after "The Croaking". Some fans felt sympathetic towards him in the episode and were happy he gained a friend while others felt like he was acting like a spoiled brat and think the punishment he received at the beginning of the episode should have increased ten fold due to his actions.
** Casey Jones is divisive among the fans. He became less so as we learned about his personality and motives. The fact that many [[DieForOurShip Apritello]] shippers jumped the ship around the time of his introduction probably helped. However, some of the fans are turned off by his antagonistic behavior towards Donatello in season three all because he likes the same girl he does. Others are put off by how often Casey seems to shrug off devasating events (such as "Annihilation: Earth!") in favor of commenting how awesome their adventures are or whining about how there's no action happening to the group at a given moment.
** Donatello himself became divisive among the fans due to his crush on April. Fans either considered his crush on April to be cute or {{Squick}}. His crush on April was initially viewed as cute and even endearing during the early part of the first season before it suddenly stopped being referenced to for a few episodes and then it came back and became extremely flanderized. More focus starts getting put on it and we get to see [[TheSmartGuy Donnie]] makes less than [[IdiotBall rational]] choices because of it. Then, there was "Operation: Breakout"; Raph tells Donnie to leave him out of his attempts to impress April (Raph clearly didn't like being used like that and was offering some [[SincerityMode advice he seemed to think was helpful]]). So what does Donnie do? He basically goes [[spoiler:on a VERY dangerous rescue mission [[TooDumbToLive by himself without telling anybody]] to get April's dad away from the Kraang. Not only that, but he almost gets himself and Mr. O'Neil killed multiple times.]] All to impress April.
** Raphael is divisive with the fans due to being a bigger jerk in this series than he's usually depicted. This has cooled off a bit though, thanks to getting HiddenDepths and toning down his behavior in later episodes.
** The Shredder is divisive among the fans for his personality in this adaptation, where his sole motivation is to kill Splinter. Some love the portrayal and how ruthless and determined he is to the point where [[spoiler:he literally stabbed Splinter in the back even though it meant the end of the world]], while others feel the show has heavily flanderized his character and miss how he was in the previous adaptations where he had other villainous ambitions in addition to wanting to destroy the Turtles and Splinter.
** The Kraang are either an interesting part of the BigBadDuumvirate, due to their connection to the Turtles' creation and their HiddenDepths, or they're just [[GenericDoomsdayVillain boring and generic]] with an [[DepartmentOfRedundancyDepartment annoying speech impediment]]. There is also a third group who argues that they were interesting on paper, but suffered too much from MotiveDecay over the course of the show.
** April is either [[AdaptationalBadass one of the most (if not the most) badass versions of the character]] and a major {{woobie}} with interesting powers or an UnintentionallyUnsympathetic brat with an insufferable self-righteous attitude whose psychic abilities are overpowered.
** You can like Tiger Claw for being a [[PantheraAwesome badass villain]] with a [[EvenEvilHasStandards code of honor]], or getting bored at how much [[SpotlightStealingSquad he's overused]], resulting in [[DemotedToExtra demoting to extra]] Bradford/Rahzar and Xever/Fishface, [[TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodCharacter/TeenageMutantNinjaTurtles2012 resulting in their characters being underveloped]].

* CreatorsPet: Although in theory the four turtles are meant to share the role of main character together, the writers have a clear favoritism towards Leonardo because many stories have him as the protagonist, which tends to come at the other three's expense. He gets to learn techniques the others don't, is the only one to regularly take on [[BigBad the Shredder]] solo, his and Raph's [[TeethClenchedTeamwork oft-fraught relationship]] is a major element of the show, and there are ''several'' episodes wherein his brothers are taken out by the MonsterOfTheWeek so Leo can save everyone on his own. It's also noticeable that, [[{{Foil}} of the traits the turtles share with]] [[BigBad the Shredder]], Leo is the ''only'' one whose trait is even somewhat positive (them both being {{Determinator}}s) in sharp contrast to the actual negative traits Shredder shares with his brothers[[note]]Raph's violent and aggressive nature, Donnie's bordering-on-entitlement obsession with April, and Mikey's refusal to admit when anything is his fault[[/note]].

** [[EvilSorceror Savanti Romero]] is a brilliant, suave former TimeMaster who seeks control of all of time and space. Attempting to seize control of the Time Scepter, Savanti causes chaos to lure the turtles into a trap and seize it. Defeated, Savanti lays a trap to attack Renet and take her time travel device to recruit all of history's most famous supernatural monsters and help reshape humanity into monsters. Savanti manipulates the Pharaoh into his service and later preys on the emotions of both DrFrankenstein and FrankensteinsMonster to get them to do his bidding. Forcing Count {{Dracula}} under his wing, Savanti ultimately plans to transform all of humanity into monsters like himself.
** Count {{Dracula}} is the vampire lord himself, who allies with Savanti to conquer all of time. Having reigned over Transylvania for ages, Dracula agrees to an alliance with Savanti Romero and turns Raphael into his thrall, using him to outwit the rest of the Turtles regularly. After hypnotizing Frankenstein's Monster into joining them, Dracula turns Casey and April into vampires and begins spreading his vampirism across New York, using his servants' knowledge of the Turtles to ambush their hideout. Dracula schemes to betray Savanti and turn all of humankind into vampires, and he nearly succeeds, before deciding to instead put aside their differences and destroy the Turtles together.
** "The Tale of Tiger Claw": Alopex is Tiger Claw's long lost sister who seeks revenge on her sibling for their past. Mutated into her current form by Utroms, Alopex was pressured by Tiger Claw into becoming a criminal for years, until her conscience pushed her to betray and nearly murder her brother, slicing off his tail in the process. Years later, Alopex returns to New York to finish Tiger Claw off, stealing the Cursed Blades of Vengeance and testing them out on Casey with plans to curse Tiger Claw with them. Though initially an enemy of the Turtles as well, Alopex winds up teaming with them to take down Tiger Claw and save Casey's life, and though Alopex ultimately lets go of her hatred for Tiger Claw, she nonetheless slices his arm off when he tries to take advantage of her mercy.

** The (obviously non-canon) Ice Cream Kitty Official Music Video (viewable [[https://youtu.be/s0h5jUYLV8I here]]) has some rather trippy visuals and features the turtles and April having a dance off with Shredder and a plethora of enemies from the rogues gallery.

** A lot of fans jumped the Leonardo/Karai ship when it was revealed in-universe that Karai is in fact Splinter's long-lost daughter. While the two weren't raised together, and it's not entirely clear in canon if the turtles' human DNA came from a pre-mutation Splinter or not, the implication of an incestrous relationship, even simply an emotional one, was disliked by a rather large portion of the fanbase. While the ShipTease between the two [[FlirtyStepSiblings continues unabated]] despite the reveal, and they never eacknowledge each other as siblings, Mikey ''does'' refer to her as their sister several times. As a result the relationship causes no end of squick for those who abandoned the ship. Meanwhile, some fans point out that Karai's flirtations with Leo often comes off as a manipulation tactic rather than anything genuine, making the ship feel too one-sided to support for those who aren't already turned off by the potential incestrous nature of the ship.

* CaptainObviousReveal: Just about every fan guessed at one point that Karai was really Miwa, Splinter's biological daughter. This stems from the fact that Karai has never been biologically related to the Shredder in any adaptation and her status as his adoptive daughter is a relatively new concept for TMNT adaptations (it originated from the 2003 series). Plus, Karai was in the general age range of how old Miwa would be had she survived to the present day. The excessive {{foreshadowing}} (for example, having Karai use the name "Harmony" as an alias since "Miwa" means "beautiful harmony") sealed the deal for most fans, thus there was little shock when it was eventually confirmed in "Showdown".

** Even without knowing any Japanese or about any of the other iterations of Karai in the franchise, her actual origins weren't that difficult to surmise from the circumstantial evidence: after the LoveTriangle between Splinter, his wife, and Shredder ended in her death and the revival of the deadly ancient rivalry between their clans, Shredder is demonstrated to be absolutely obsessed with revenge on his rival and never shown to be the least bit interested in having any other women as a potential LoveInterest in his life. There's essentially no obvious reason why he would adopt ''anyone'' as his own child other than as a means of getting a twisted kind of revenge on his enemy, and who else but Splinter's daughter Miwa [[NeverFoundTheBody (never actually shown to have perished in the blaze that consumed her family's home)]] would fit those criteria?
