They do feel as such type of villains though, since besides their battles, I don't feel like there's isn't much to them. Back at the season 2 finale, I felt like the God-Elemental Ninjas had more personality, while these felt like they were... just there. Interesting battles for sure, but I feel like if they had been replaced by machines, not much would've changed. As long as the battles had been the same, the story would've went on almost exactly as it did now.

It was different in stories like Nitro Mania and the Season 2 finale, though. Back there, the characters felt like they had more to them then just their respective battles. The Retro Rebels got lots of character development in Nitro Mania, and they felt like much more than just being there to fight the gang. In the season 2 finale, even though at the beginning the God-elemental ninjas did feel like filler villains, this changed further on in the story, giving them more character development, specially Tsunami. The problem here is that the plant villains feel like they're only here because we needed some villains for the gang to fight. They feel like filler villains. To be fair, I think the villains from the Dr. Sanders story felt a bit like that too, but hey, it's not a true Dr. Zack story if the gang doesn't fight a series of superpowered villains before they fight him.
