I don't think it was necessarily a problem. I know Leo's my favorite, but just hear me out please. TMNT wasn't the only show to focus primarily on its leader. Take, for example, the Transformers cartoon series (and yes, this is going way back). The show focused mainly on Optimus Prime simply because he was the leader of the Autobots. I don't think that either series did it to be discriminatory. It's just that a leader has an important role and while the other characters are necessary to round out the team....ugh, I just lost my train of thought. Sorry, it has been a long month. Anyway, all characters are necessary to a storyline, but you can't have a team without a leader. Someone has to be in charge, and in doing so, a story will often center around that character.
