He seems like a pretty fun guy. And maybe she was a TMNT fan growing up, too, who knows.

Hard to judge the reasons people enter a relationship.
Honestly, is marrying someone for money any worse than marrying them for their tits or perfect jawline? Everyone has their reasons, superficial or otherwise. |

That said though, different strokes for different folks. I can't imagine dating or marrying anyone significantly older or younger than me tho

People generally don't like dating broke people, and they generally won't hit on you unless they are physically attracted. So while those might not be the explicit reasons people fall into marriage, it certainly can be. Or at least pave the way. We're all only human. |

I'm still dumbfounded by the lack of familiarity for shameless self-promoters around here. It's not exactly a new concept.
Wow. For as cool as Eastman has been with the fanbase, they don't deserve this kind of trash. |

You would marry someone with a 30 year age difference? Really?

My grandmother and her second husband was 20 years apart. Her first husband was 10 years older.

I was in no way passing judgment. I was just making the point that he'd be more likely to be aware of Podcasts, Instagram, etc. now that he is married to someone who grew up in the Digital Age.

We don't know either way on that. But she's clearly intended to be younger than him, and spoke of him as if that had been her boss... had they got a sequel she almost assuredly would have been his daughter.
In the face.

i've met them both together at a few conventions. from what i've see they both looked really happy together. sure there's only so much you can gather from just a brief encounter, but their chemistry felt genuine to me.

I'd say the same moral dogma has a lot to do with why adaptations demote Karai from her own agent to something of a Talia Al-Ghoul ripoff. With any powerful female character in any show intended for children, there is going to be a social subtext that she's a role-model, which for show-runners, mandates being a good role-model--"good" being, of-course, the preachy and quixotic definition favored by such finger-waggers. Thus I think they feel they can't allow Karai to have a congenital "dark" side. If she's unduly loyal to bad people, or she's too trigger-happy, or too violent, etc, they always feel the need to put in a subtext that it was her upbringing that made her so. Again, all this really sucks, but I think it's the likely explanation. Now back to Eastman, there's something to be said for being a pragmatist open to considering other people's desires with one's work. The problem is he seems to make no distinction between audience desires and those of people in higher places, which in many cases cross the line from desires into the sort of stupefying mandates I described above. He also seems to hold onto the delusion that you can please all of the people all of the time. In my experience, people who try to cater everybody end up catering to nobody. Granted; I don't think the whole brand has failed since Laird stepped down and Eastman stepped back up, but it's hard to attribute any of its successes to him, either. By contrast, while I find Peter Laird a frequently unpleasant and nitpicky personality, I'd definitely credit to him most of the better ideas that affected TMNT in the 2000s, and it's likely no coincidence that when he turned his focus to the 2007 movie is about when the 4Kids show got a lot stupider.

I don't think so... Peter Laird had pretty much total control of the situation at 4Kids (which is where the Shredder's daughter rubbish started). If he wanted Karai to remain Shredder's boss like the comics, he could've.
