You ever think Splinter from the 2012 series sings? I always pictured in my head that he does so when alone. I get the impression he's actually as geeky as his children, just great at hiding it from them.

Awww! I love that! Imagine when the Turtles were babies he would sing them to sleep with little lullabies 🥰

Also, in the comics, it’s kinda confirmed Splinter is just as goofy as his sons but he hides it, we see it with moments like this.

Something I realized/headcanon rewatching TMNT 2012. When Karai goes in her war path against Shredder in the fourth season, it’s mostly said to her wanting (justified mind you) revenge, but I think it runs a bit deeper than that. Karai was raised in an environment where love and affection had to be earned and she had to be “worthy” of it. She also likely feels immense guilt for harming Splinter and her stepbrothers. I think her going after Shredder so hard was her trying to “make it up” to them

If I remember correctly that was actually stated in the show. Karai tells Splinter that she’s doing this so he’ll be proud of her, (something we actually see Shredder do to Karai in the earlier seasons with her doing everything she can to win his approval). Splinter dismisses her statement by telling his daughter that he’s already proud of her, but she still goes forward with her actions of revenge on Shredder because she’s convinced that justice must be served now.

Not to mention that Splinter even says that Karai’s need for revenge was something she got from Shredder not from him. A good example of nature vs nurture. Splinter (and even the Turtles) never wanted her to go on her path of revenge, but Karai feels that revenge is justified/needed for everything Shredder has done to her, her father Splinter, her mother, and her brothers the Turtles. 

Karai believes that she is the judge, the jury and the executioner all at once, blinded by her vendetta, that she cannot see it will take her and her family down a dark path of more suffering and pain .

Don’t know if it’s been asked before, but a friend had a great question. If the 2012 Hamato family (including April, Casey, and Karai) had Pokemon teams, what types of Pokemon would they specialize in and what do you imagine their teams being like?

My knowledge on Pokémon is very little, so I apologize this isn’t the full in depth answer you and your friend want, but what type of Pokémon each TMNT 2012 character would specialize in…

Leo - Water, Ice & Flying

Donnie - Steel, Electric & Bug

Raph - Fighting, Flying & Fire

Mikey - Electric, Grass & Fairy

April - Psychic, Dragon & Fairy

Casey - Steel, Rock & Fighting

Karai - Poison, Steel & Dark

Forgive me if this is a bit random. I have a tendency to like to cross my current interests over when partaking them, and lately mine have been TMNT 2012 and Xenoblade 3. Don’t know of you heard of the latter or played it, but if you have… 1. Which side of the war in the story do you think each Hamato Clan member (the turtles, Splinter, April, Casey, Karai, any other honorary member you’d like to add) would be in and 2. What do you think their preferred class would be?

Sorry I never heard of Xenoblade. I didn’t know about it’s existence until now.
