Gilgameshkun, except that the scenario we're presented with is not something a civilization could come back from, which inherently makes the continuity unfeasible. Not just pliable, completely contradictory. And no, it wouldn't have been odd for it not to be post-apocalyptic, because as I said, it's repeatedly shown and stated that things would turn out differently, right up through the fifth season.

As for the theme you mentioned, it might be more accurate to say that sometimes that is the overarching theme. It certainly isn't the theme for all forms of TMNT media, and not just the 1987 series (which should probably be incorporated into "traditional" views, given that it's only a few years younger than the comics).

Cowabungawolf89, unfortunately a lot of posters online don't really think that kids and their psychological needs should be a major concern in a show aimed at kids. And yes, the arc did depress the hell out of some kids, and turned at least a few against the series.
