Like deciding Raph isn't the tough muscle anymore, Donnie isn't the brains, or Mikey isn't the loveable, warm hearted youngest... I can't imagine anyone dreaming of removing those parts of them the way they've altered Leo. (Can you imagine how hard the crap would hit the fan if Raph was just some little sissy instead? lol And maybe youngest? The figurative fan would be shattered into a thousand pieces.)

Alternate theory, which I think may be more to the truth... it's simple minded thinking. "Raph should be a snapper! Snapping turtles are big and tough! Big and tough means oldest! And being leader!"

I can understand the frustration behind that too. For me personally, I was interested in the "what if" in this interpretation. Who is Leo without the pressures of leadership, and what would Raph be like as leader? It goes against both of their characters and I'll admit I didn't really like it at first. But then I kind of grown to give it a chance to see how it turns out. But with this new (possible?) information, If Leo has to earn leadership position and will soon become the leader, then why make Raphael the oldest one and the leader at least for now? It makes no sense lol. People tend to like and dislike certain things. I'm sure there are some people who would be fine with changing the other turtles and some won't.
