One of my closest TMNT fan friends just posted a very good criticism of 2K12, touching on the subject of how the reason they killed off Splinter is a symptom of a greater problem.

One of his central criticisms is not just that the show is trying too hard now to become just like the 1987 series, but that in doing so, it's gradually destroying the sense of family the show once fostered and once had in common with other versions of TMNT (outside the 1987 series).

And he's right. Every last damn word. And it's frustrating as hell.
