I didn't comment on Kala because I forgot who she was. I looked her up, and now I remember.

You have to remember that 2K12 Mikey isn't the same as 1987 Michelangelo. This series may never have Neutrinos, and may never have Kala. And even if it did, Kala might never get Mikey's attention. Compare IDW, who was a soldier and didn't get any special attention from IDW Mikey at all.

All that said, most of my TMNT fan friends have long since been shipping Mikey with Leatherhead. I'd at least hoped that Mikey and Renet would get something subtle and meaningful (as a foundation of whatever extra humor they have) so it could be contrasted with Leatherhead later. Maybe Mikey having a one-sided attraction for Renet, or Renet having a one-sided attraction for Mikey, or maybe having a mutual attraction but Leatherhead was still an issue, or something&mdash;as long as there was development. But Mikey and Renet turned out to be zero character development, zero depth, all humor (none of it all that clever), and that instantly soured me to their pairing, derailing both characters for me.

The writers just aren't that imaginative anymore, and it's bringing the entire series down little by little.
