Not to mention Leo isn't just "leader" in other versions, he gets different traits on the 80's, 2003, 2012 series but keeps a blueprint, that's how you can differentiate each other and still see them as Leo.

I like this version Instead of calling splinter master splinter or splinter They actually call him dad While every other version (besides the 2014-16 Version which was mainly Leo) they call him sensei, master splinter, splinter etc Like that's doesn't sound like a father son connection Why this version does

[@rustygateofme]

One of the things that sold the show to me in the pilot was how Raph just called him pops. I respect the other splinters but this one is a character beyond just being the sensei and fun to watch in his own right

[@Karomix3]

Easy, here Splinter hates his family legacy hence why he ran to the USA to get away from it all, and he didn't want his sons to have the burdens he had to go through, so he didn't train them to be real ninjas, he showed them his movies and thought they would take it from there, which is what happened, and later in the series the boys do want to be part of the legacy and fight for real, so he starts training them for real. But he's always been a father first, the sensei part came during the series. Which is also why they're more teenagers here than ever.

[@HeoBaby24]
