AGAIN with the Shredder’s daughter nonsense?

Either that or I quickly forgot because it was, for me, a pretty forgettable show.

I think they do understand the franchise and most of the changes were on purpose. They were very determined to reinvent the whole thing. Which just makes this Karai business even more annoying lol

I know most people don’t feel this way about her and it’s just my own pet peeve, but like all the familiar touchstones of TMNT they decided to turn on their head or throw away completely and they keep that crap?

Though I will say that I wish they'd made more use of this Karai as an ancestral spirit. Having her appear off and on throughout the series, guiding the Turtles when Splinter would not, might have given the show more weight and an interesting twist to balance out it trying to be so derpy otherwise.

Yeah that would have been cool.
