By the way, I honestly don't really care about the romance of the show. It's just really messed up at this point anyway.

I'm glad someone understands. I could understand April having to deal with Donnatello and Casey, but the other ideas for romance were getting a bit weird. Karai and Leo for one thing were a bit unlikely seeing as how Karai/Miwa has finally begun to emerge as her own character who deserves more "Main Character" time in a few episodes. Plus, Leo's love interest should be someone else who isn't a COMPLETE polar opposite. Also, some seemed to enjoy Mikey & Renet as a couple, but I have to say, she's too old for him and the idea that an adult woman would go on a date with a 15 year old turtle is, well, unsettling, it sounds like fans want her to be a pedophile or something. Raph & Mona Lisa however are a couple I could support, cute, rageful, and strange, they are amazing and they bring out a smile I haven't had for a TMNT couple in a long time.

I prefer a better plot when it comes to the characters and their romances, and I think a few women characters deserve to have their own time in the spotlight like most male characters, like for instance, Shinigami (and possible future female villains) should have as much of a reputation and single one-soldier-army as the males (Rahzar, Bebop, Tiger Claw, and Rocksteady).

Finally, it's just an idea or opinion, but April is great on her own or when working with the team, and I find myself enjoying the fact that Leonardo and her share something of a best friand and brother and sister bond. It would be interesting to see a 'romance' angle between April and Leo, but for now, the duo are great the way they are currently.
