I don't know if you have noticed, but just about EVERY version of TMNT had controversial changes.

Mirage fans hated the 1987 cartoon for being lighthearted and goofy.

Many fans despise Next Mutation for adding the female turtle Venus, who actually has a sizable fan base in spite of being such a hated character.

1987 fans hated the 2003 show for being darker and more faithful to the Mirage comics, plus many of the people who DID like the 2003 cartoon hated how the Shredder turned out to be an Utrom and many are antagonistic to the Fast Forward and Back to the Sewer seasons and, at the somewhat lesser extent, the animated film Turtles Forever.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise is used to controversial changes, so I fail to see how Karai mutating will be such a big deal. Besides, there's always the chance that her mutation is only temporary! Okay, I might've exaggerated. I don't mind that (Spoiler alert for those west of the EST zone) she did, but still, I didn't expect they'd do it. I'm still a little fuzzy on what she is, but overall, not bad.
