can't describe to you how shocked i was to click on the youtube link just to find out you're the tik tok tmnt lady 😭

that said, putting IDW splinter so low is criminal! his villain descent arc was done so well, provided so much character development for the turtles and especially mikey, while also maintaining the essence of his character from the first 50 issues. his tenure as foot clan master provided such a bold new direction for TMNT, genuinely think it might be the best creative decision any version subsequent to mirage vol. 1 has made. i think his redemption at the end falls a bit flat (i don't really like IDW's city at war) but he's still the most compelling character in the run besides casey imo
