How do you keep the "Ninja" in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"?

[Luckyday]

Do you guys just want a TMNT series or movie that puts emphasis on the "Ninja" in TMNT rather then on the "Teenage" part? Like the show should have a much heavier focus on them being ninja warriors first then showing the teenage aspect.

Nick turtles was the first show that actually show them being kids with kid problems.

Then it happen again in Rise but instead of teen angst, it had showed them wanting to do fun kid things instead of dealing with teen angst. Although they did had teenage problems in the beginning with their Dad but it got resolved at the end of season 1.

So it can be done, but what I am really getting here is that the ninja aspect has become almost an artifact of the franchise. When the Shredder is gone, they are nothing more but vigilantes with a ninja aesthetic, and if you take away that too of them being crime fighters, then they are silent observers that are wondering aimlessly through the city or the ****ing woods until a brick falls through a window or something.
