I know, I know... And thank you for not thinking I'm just seeing things. XD The things I discussed from earlier seasons had been some of my favorite things about this series&mdash;one of the big reasons I'd been a fan of it. I've been feeling a lot of fan-betrayal lately. I was even willing to give Renet a chance, even the Mikey/Renet thing, until it horrified me not so much in it not respecting Leatherhead...but its sheer vapidness. Renet's most complex personality trait is that she gainaxes (it's a trope). Mona Lisa could still be a good, solid, well-developed character. And the earth could also crash into the sun tomorrow. When a show has disappointed you this much in so many ways, you can increasingly lose hope that it will get better. When I'm a devoted fan, I'm dedicated and I do a lot of good work&mdash;wiki stuff (thousands of edits here), GIFs (over 1000 on this wiki), and such. But when I'm a scorned fan who has lost all faith in the creators, I can almost be kind of a b_tch. Like how Raph used to be when he got angry, and did so damn well. Not the plastic and artificial way he gets angry now.
