But... I know what you mean... Someone like you would never want TMNT to be silly. You and I have been on these threads before talking about this very thing, so.

Yeah, and points do at least go to 2016 for doing better with the brothers, imo, but they lose points again for trying too hard to be the cartoon.
I feel any silliness belongs only as interaction between the brothers, just playing around "off duty," not as an allover tone for a film. (Like 2003; it's generally serious but has its moments.)
The Turtles just being goofy brothers in the right moments... fine, great, that's kind of adorable. But forced silliness like...the whole tongue thing happening with Raph in that last film and hitting the plane windshield... no thanks.
I wouldn't necessarily say it's an argument that could be used in defense of those films though, since they still created rather weak movies and screwed with it too much and in the wrong ways. No matter what version, you still gotta to right by the brothers.
