Similar to this episode, most of the time Leo would send the guys to do the fighting while Donnie did the science stuff. The same could be said for any cartoon with Don when it came to anything scientific. He would know what to do and tell the others to do it and in those cases Leo, whichever version, would follow orders too.
Turtles Forever seemed to completely forget Leo's role. In fact, I was expecting a scene where both Leos clashed on who gave the orders, but it never happened. This version did, and with funny results.
I honestly don't see why the strong defense for Turtles Forever, when you know that movie's greatest shortcoming was the portrayal of the 80's Turtles. Turtles Forever might have done it first, but this episode portrayed them better. The only thing that would have made it better is if they used traditional animation instead of that weird flash animation.
