So was Out of the Shadows essentially a remake of Secret of the Ooze?

Anyone else feel like Out of the Shadows was essentially a remake of Secret of the Ooze, and that's why they're so similar?

- Both movies are the "second" movies and have similar tones and humor.

- Both movies have Shredder "defeated" from the previous movie and him realizing he needs mutants to defeat the Turtles with.

- Bebop/Rocksteady and Rahzar/Tokka essentially serve the same purpose, big strong and dumb mutants to fight the Turtles.

- Baxter Stockman had the same role that Prof. Jordan Perry had in Secret of the Ooze. Shredder works with (or kidnaps) a scientist who works at TCRI (they both work there), to help him work with the mutagen and make mutants.

- April plays a smaller role in the sequel than the first.

- Casey Jones is essentially Keno but a police officer instead of pizza delivery boy.

- The Turtles struggle with being accepted by society and have problems among themselves. Don struggled in TMNT II to realize there was nothing special about their mutation when Splinter showed them the TGRI canister, in Out of the Shadows Don struggles with potentially using the mutagen to turn them human.

- Leo and Raph butt heads, as usual

- Mikey gets swung around by Krang saying, "How do you get off this thing?" similar to Rahzar swinging him around by the arms in TMNT II.

- Splinter plays a very small role, same as TMNT II

- Shredder doesn't actually fight the Turtles, and in Out of the Shadows he;s immediately frozen.

The only major difference is the intro of Krang and the Technodrome, and if you recall the original plan for Secret of the Ooze was to have Jordan Perry be an Utrom. Other than that it was practically a remake.
