There is not doubt that the original source material in True Stories is superior, but I still stand by season 3's interpretation of it. And yeah Leo took it longest to recover, but that's because he got hit the hardest both mentally and physically. Hell, his voice was permanently damaged because of the fight, a permanent mark of failure. As for the others, as the show stated the turtles deal with stress in different ways, Donnie buries himself in his work, Raph trains, and Mikey goofs off. That doesn't mean they weren't going through the same thing, shell they even showed Mikey crying when they were contacted by Splinter in Obi-wan mode(obvious movie reference). Sometimes a story doesn't NEED to show to tell. Was it the most accurate? No, but that's because it keeps to both its Mirage AND 87 show routes. Some eps are sillier than others, some eps are darker than others, its a show that can be anything and I LOVE it for that.
