And yet, they figured that pushing a "love interest" angle between a teenage human female and a teenage mutant turtle was just the right amount of "weird". They couldn't figure a way to make Option 1 make sense - even though literally everyone else who ever handled the franchise hasn't had any problems with it - but they found nothing questionable about Option 2, and genuinely thought it was a better way to go.
It is what it is, but people's priorities always crack me up. Especially the way they over-think some things while barely putting any thought into other things. It's very interesting.
Over-Thinking: "We can't have April hang out with the Turtles if she's older than them, it's weird. Let's make them the same age."
Not-Enough-Thinking: "So how are we gonna tie up this 'romance' subplot with April and Donnie? Y'know... since we made a Big Huge Deal about it and everything." "Eh, I'unno. Do a bunch of movie parodies and hope everyone forgets about it?" "...Y'know, fine."
