I think it Jenny is suppose to be a living plot device. She supposed to be cocky and think everything is easy. She is not supposed to be the only one who can do the job but they are suppose to make it look easy, because they finally have the answer. She was made for years constant battles to find the best solutions for that problem. Now hear me out a climatic should be a rare occurrence most of the time or there should battles that use to be difficult back then now are relative ease. Example would be the tiny little alien invaders called the Minutions. I think we needed to see a little bit of the past of how hard it was before her and Armagetdroid. There should be episode of the Armagetdroid backlash. I would like to see that.

Also, by season 3 (or even halfway through season 2 for that matter), they dragged society's continual ostracizing of Jenny on way too long. It is true that that conflict was a huge part of the series, it shouldn't have stayed a problem beyond Jenny saving the WORLD for the n-billionth time. Yeah, they needed something to create conflict and comedy, but there is so much more they could have done.
You could argue that is the main point of the series, and upon the removal of which the series would lose meaning. But if that's the only thing giving the series a purpose, does it even mean anything at all? I love the show to pieces for it's nostalgic and stylistic value, but if that's the best they could do, they were doomed from the get-go.
I would say Renzetti would have been better off modifying it for a more mature-ish audience, but how could you adapt something like that? Honestly there might not even be a large enough audience for that [Nomination for biggest gross generalization of the year, I just needed to segue to my next point]. If we assume the premise of the show itself stayed the same but was raised to standards more resembling that of The Last Airbender and the like, it would still be too sophisticated for a young audience, but not enough for an older audience.
Perhaps I'm arguing something completely baseless, I can't really tell. I just suddenly became very tired all of a sudden and can't tell if any of what I just said makes sense. I'll just leave it here and review it tomorrow.

Oversaturation is usually a problem with any series in any matter. Moving to next phase of any media is a difficulty. I think a look at other Nicktoons shows that they do have times of showing maturity. Wild Thornberrys showed in several episodes that sometimes good intentions can go wrong, and the wild is a dangerous place even if you can communicate with animals. They have also shown maturity with Hey Arnold and as Told by Ginger. However there is such a thing too subtle and could be more spectacle is needed. There is also could be said they do not know how to market super hero robot girl that has changeable features. Seriously how hard is it? I want to know how much for the rights for this series.

I talk to someone who didn't like show. Could change their opinion but I gave that person second thoughts I got little data from a nonfan of the show. The reasons were Jenny had it easy and the villains are a joke. I debated the reasons and gave examples of the opposite, and the reasons why it was like that. I did it in a reasonable way showing I can do that when I am in the right mind set.

Some say "ratings" and some say "lack of exposure", but both are tied to what another post said: Corporate Profits.
A cartoon needs a few things to stay alive:
Money Fans and Demand Staff numbers and Motivation Ideas and extended concepts and, to a degree, merchandise
If at least one of those things are neglected, the cartoon may struggle. But, if one, if not more, of these things are getting attention, the show may not.
That's one of the reasons why the rebooted series was made.
However, it is a cartoon made by Rob Renzetti, who I think at the time worked for Viacom/Nickelodeon, a corporate business. My philosophy on corporate business will always be negative, because their mindsets are more fixated on the nature of money. More money, more power, but with great power, comes great responsibility, and they are blind to the value of their profits rather than the degree of fan activity. That's why they put out C and D orders to those that spread their work, in spite of their "fair use" defense.
And I hope the rebooted system has good Lawyers when Viacom put their eyes on the project. If that ever happens, MLaaTR will be finished unless Viacom has some the mentioned protocols I acknowledged get a degree of attention.
Viacom would rather make money over the worth of demanding fans. I can't stand it, and it's my judgement to stand by.
