10 Ways To Make Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2 Not Suck

Having completely hollow or shallow reasons for the Yoshi/Shredder feud is only *slightly* better than zero reasons. Especially when they already had a perfectly good reason that nobody was asking to be changed. "BUT DIFFERENT!!!" Nobody cares, it pissed a lot of people off so clearly it wasn't as cute or as clever as they thought it would be.

And come on, why would a bunch of mutated animals living in the sewer develop any "Noble Reasons" to want to "protect the city"? Why would they honestly give two sh*ts and a f*ck? They wouldn't, other than The Movie Says So. There's not only no reason for them to feud, there's not even any reason for Splinter and the Turtles to even care. The absolute smartest thing for any of them to do would have been to stay in the damn sewers and stay out of everything. But, then there's no movie, thus, the compulsion to be super-heroes (despite never being super-heroes) that is literally written into their DNA, apparently. Because It's A Movie, and without these oh-so-convenient contrivances, there's no story.

It's all just Different For Different's Sake with no concern as to whether it's actually Good. That's NEVER a good reason to do anything.
