Well, Leonardo and Raphael can still be brothers and fight over the same love interest. The Next Mutation just purposely screwed with the Turtles' origin story in the worst ways possible for no good reason. But anyway, yeah that's why I really hated that show. If the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles aren't brothers, then they are not the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in my book. They tied Venus into their origin story and made it so they are not related, obviously so it wouldn't seem weird when they (using your word) shoehorn Venus into being a love interest for Leo. Literally all they had to do was just give Venus a different origin story and it would still work, BUT NO, they had to make it personal. The Next Mutation was the worst thing that ever happened to TMNT in my opinion. 😝😝😝

I always tried to pretend that show never existed, but I can't because I'm kind of intrigued by the idea of a female turtle in the 2012 series. Slash turned out pretty good as another turtle ally. Ciro and Brandon are really good showrunners so I have faith that they could probably make a version of Venus that doesn't suck. They already hinted at the character a couple times.

GASP! IS THAT THE NEW CHARACTER THAT GWENDOLYN YEO'S GOING TO VOICE IN SEASON 5!?! AAAAAHH! Mind...blown.😱😱😱
