Spoiler:

Yeah, even if he doesn't come back this time, his most recent death was still cheapened by the fact that it happened before. Apart from season one, every season so far has ended with Shredder taking out Splinter in some way (two of which are unambigious killings) and then the other characters acting as if he's gone for good. I know the original pitch involved Splinter being dead but they shouldn't kill him off again and again, even if they wanted to get closer to the original idea.

most if not all of the Amazing Adventures (and even New Animated Adventures) never really did seem to line up with the TV cartoon.
which was odd reading the comics after Leo was badly hurt and the Turtles had to retreat to Northampton.
issue after issue comes out with them still in NY and not even a mention of any of those events.
not even so much as a "some time before The Invasion" or anything.

Kind of odd that they never went full out though, I would have been more interested if they actually chose to go in a less status quo ruled direction.
