They might have had similar roles, as in, trying to rebuild the Foot in Shredder's absence, but no. I never really saw it as such.
I mean c'mon, not every TMNT character is forced to be based on or some sort of re-imagining of a previous character. You need something new or the overall franchise will eventually die out with people getting tired of repeat after repeat.
If they never added new characters, we never would have gotten Bebop, Rocksteady, Krang, Hun, Bishop, Armaggon, Tiger Claw, Shinigami, Koya, Kitsune, Alopex and so forth.
Let's hope Rise adds some decent new characters if it's at least somewhat interesting for our general age group.
