I don't like that Karai it's Miwa
 

In my opinion the plot that Karai it's Splinter's daughter it broke her character; if at the ence she found out about it, how she would react? It would mean that she's good? Neutrual? She supposed to be one of the most dangerous and meanest villians of the turtles; there's shouldn't be any chance for her to be good

How does that ruin her character?

Well most incarnations make her neutral not really full blown evil

Karai tends to be most interesting when she's a conflicted, somewhat "neutral" character. If she's a full-blown villain or pure evil she runs the risk of becoming as flat as the Shredder. I'm not crazy about Karai being Miwa either, for a whole slew of other reasons, though I do admit it does amuse me on the whole LeoxKarai front.

The original Karai also had honor and had a truce with the turtles, and kept that truce. So she wasn't exactly 'pure evil' then either.

Are you one of those LeoxKarai shippers?

it keeps her interesting. karai as a character who's more interesting when shes neutral. for example, 2k3, karai was interesting when she was conflicted, but then in season 4 became flat when she had a weak motive to just be evil. (still havent finished season 5 yet)

its also ironic for us, since from now on, karai scenes will have us viewing her as splinters daughter, while she has no clue, and while shredder avoids telling her

It makes her a better character, and it could lead to some interesting development, such as her questioning herself.

the character is still fairly new to me. My first exposure to her was the 2007 film.
I hadn't watched the 4Kids show, really, and I didn't see her in the comics ('cus the comics were hard to find and I didn't know to look for them 'cus the local shops didn't really have TMNT titles).

It's interesting all the different takes on the characters there have been.
Saki/Shredder, Splinter/Yoshi, who the Turtles are, Karai/Miwa.
Almost everytime a new cartoon or comic launches, something changes. Right now in IDW, Splinter and the Turtles are reincarnated from previous lives.

But I do like the dynamic of Karai really being Yoshi's daughter, raised by Shredder to use against her own father. That's just... dark.

in my opinion, that was the most boring karai ive ever seen. since she wasnt the main villain in the movie her character kinda got a "backseat". You dont really get to see her neutral side, of walking the line with the turtles. instead she just rides in a van with casey and april
you should really consider watching 4kids sometime! im not saying it will be incredible, some people like it, some dont, but if nothing else it gives you a different version of each character

I love that Karai is Miwa in the nick show. To me she has always been a quite boring character this time around tho she is more interesting plus it gives the Shredder/Splinter rivalry more of a story.

I agree with this too. I thought it was a great spin on what we already know (or don't really know) about her. Like others here said, she has never really been nailed down as this or that, the character has differed quite a bit through the mediums. To me, the reveal of her as Splinters daughter just...works.

I like that Karai is Miwa as it gives her more of a backstory and more character development as she questions who she really is. 2K3 Karai was interesting until after Shredder was exiled and then she just took his place and did a horrible job of trying to be her father all over again. At least this Karai doesn't totally blindly follow Shredder and now she has even more reasons to really think about where her loyalties lie.

I really think that once Leo finds out about her, he's going to try and persuade her to join them and Splinter so he can have his daughter back.

You kidding me? The Kirai/Miwa reveal was awesome. Predictable, but awesome. Instead having her as just another ninja daughter for Shredder, she's a brainwashed Miwa? Badass. Nothing disappointing about it.

That will be a lot of fun to watch.

I kinda like the whole Miwa/Karai bit. I'll take her story over a mutant-of-the-week story any day.

Yes, it will, and I'll enjoy watching it if it happens.

This sums it up perfectly.
