someone might have said this already, but i think the way rise!leo is potrayed is exactly on point for how leonardo hamato should be protrayed/how he should act.
because what was the one thing that fuelled the other variations of leo? the one thing that made them want to be a leader? the one thing that shaped their idea of someone who was worthwhile?
splinter's idea of someone worth praising, of course.
and look at this splinter, in this time. a man in the 2000s raising gen z kids would absolutley act like rise!splinter. sitting on the couch all day, not eating healthy etc etc. he misses his old self. it was what splinter's idea of a leader, a superstar, someone worth celebrating is. becuase splinter watches and re-watches all the lou jitsu because he misses the man he used ot be. he doesn't think the man he is is someone worth celebrating.
and so the little turtles grow up watching their dad praise this action star, and leo wants to be him. he wants his father to br proud of him, he wants his father to praise him, just like all the other iterations.
lou jitsu is brave. loud. flamboyant. charismatic. remind you of anyone?
leo shaped himself after someone who he knew his dad loved, just like any iterations. and i think that's what people don't understand, that rise!leo is on point, just like always. leo didn't change, splinter did.
and splinter didn't even change that much. he is different, maybe even babygirl, but he is still a wise man who loves his sons more than anything in the world. even more than glory. he loves them, he's depressed just like any other iteration. but a depressed man nowadays is different than a depressed man in the 80s or 90s.
leo's core trait is making himself someone who he think's splinter would be proud of. that hasn't changed.

I Got Bored So I Analyzed Mikey And Splinter’s Relationship, As One Does
I love rewatching the 2012series after hearing about how terrible Mikey&Splinter’s relationship is because it always leaves me so confused to the point where I have to reconsider everything the internet says and everything I believe.
What if, for a moment, we see what the episodes have to say.
One thing they make very clear is that Splinter does not see Mikey as any less intelligent than his brothers. Several times during the series, the Sensei does not hesitate to openly agree with his youngest’s statement. He holds him to standards that are equally as high as the one Splinter gives to his brothers.
“How many times have I told you not to skateboard in the lair?”
“None, Sensei.”
“I shouldn’t have to tell you!”
“No, Michelangelo, you are right.”
“I am?”
“He is?”
“We gotta take him down.”
“Yes, Michelangelo, you do.”
Beyond agreeing with him, Splinter allows his youngest to have his say when he argues with the Sensei. He doesn’t shut him down or talk over him. Even if all of his sons disagree with Mikey, Splinter will hear him out and can even be seen changing his mind.
“There is no monster more dangerous than a lack of compassion.”
“My mistake.”
“We’re doing to him what everyone else does to us! Judging him for his looks!”
“But he was fighting the Kraang, Master Splinter. It’s like you always say! The enemy of my enemy is my bro.”
“That is not exactly what I’ve said…”
“Mm. I see. You’ve made a wise decision, Michelangelo.”
Master Splinter also doesn’t doubt his abilities. He can recognize his son’s strengths and won’t hesitate to put them to good use.
“When he awakens, Michelangelo, you must find a way to befriend him.”
“No problemo.”
The Sensei doesn’t challenge Mikey any harder than he challenges his brothers. Splinter never makes him out to be inferior when he’s teaching him something compared to them.
“Michelangelo. Why did you give up so easily?”
“There was nothing I could do.”
“There is always something you can do. Observe.”
“The key is to unbalance your opponent.”
“But how?”
“However you can. For example…”
While he doesn’t exactly understand how his mind works, he comprehends that his unique way of learning is to be nurtured and molded. He knows that some of his quirks are gifts to be appreciated. He even goes as far as using Mikey’s natural skill as an example of how to fight in order to instruct his brother.
“The nunchaku because… Um, they are perfect for you!”
“I just don’t understand how you can fight without thinking.”
“Observe… You see? Mikey does not think.”
“Thank you~”
“You must find the space between your thoughts and learn to live there. That’s what Michelangelo does.”
Mikey idolizes his sensei, but not quite to Leo’s extent. He takes in all the lessons that resígnate with him to heart, even to the point that he can quote them back to his father and brothers. (Revisit: “But he was fighting the Kraang, Master Splinter. It’s like you always say! The enemy of my enemy is my bro.”) Splinter spends a good amount of the show teaching lessons, such as don’t judge those who are different from you, peace is better than war, and a lack of compassion is the true monster. Mikey is consistently seen prompting these ideals in everything that he does, consciously or unconsciously mimicking his father.
“Raphael! Clearly, April is upset.”
“Yeah, dude, that’s so insensitive.”
“Yeah, that’s all good, but like Master Splinter would say, we must accept the hand that the universe has dealt usssss.”
They recognize cues from one another without anything being said. Reading their tones and expressions with ease, catching things that others in the room don’t notice, at least, not yet.
“You okay, Sensei?”
“Forgive me… My thoughts are… Elsewhere, Michelangelo.”
“Well, yeah. Cause old people never care how they look. Or smell.”
*sus Sensei squint*
*awkward laugh* *whistling*
“My son. I sense there is something you’d like to tell us.”
There are even times when they are in sync. A favorite example would be when Mikey throws down a smoke bomb and Splinter reappears in the same instance. It may be played off as a joke, but this is crack that the show takes very seriously.
“This is serious. I better get Splinter.”
“Um, we don’t really need-”
“Michelangelo said you wanted to see me?”
The two of them don’t have a lot of one-on-one screen time, but I often think that this isn’t because Splinter is outright ignoring his youngest. In fact, this is because, despite not being “as smart” as his brothers, he doesn’t need to give Mikey as much schooling as the rest of them. Leo seeks him out for advice, Raph needs help to mold his temper and impulsive nature, and Donnie needs to learn how calm his anxieties or how to react to social situations.
Mikey vibes with the world and follows his brothers’ leads. His mistakes are theirs and the rules that he follows are based off Sensei’s teaching. He’s smart in his own way, he has the instinct and the skills to fight and defend himself and his brothers, and he doesn’t need Master Splinter looking over his shoulder all the time.
He’s not useless. In some ways, he’s just a daddy’s boy.
Maybe the memory in Requiem wasn’t simply lazy writing.
Maybe, to him, this was an unspoken moment where Splinter acknowledges that and more.

Whether or not if you like 2012 splinter you gotta appreciate his commitment to the bit
#bro got a cheese phone cheesicles and w gisnt hsmater wheel#i dunno where he got those but i have a funny thought that he asked donnie one day#he goes to donnie and suggest a cheese phone for emergencies and a giant wheel just because#and donnie's like 'your commitment to the bit amazes me sensei'#or something like that#splinter is very goofy and thats where mikey's goofiness comes from#tmnt 2012#tmnt#rottmnt#tmnt 1987#tmnt 2003#tmnt idw#tmnt splinter

watching tmnt 2003 is so wild honestly. a guy shows up from another dimension to fight leo and not only does everyone more or less roll with it, splinter knows exactly what's going on somehow
#bambi's rambling#tmnt 2003#also 2003 splinter is just fantastic#i know that rise splinter usually gets the 'breaking away from the traditional serious sensei' rep#but in this ep 03 splinter was like 'my kids want to do an ice cream run in a currently gang infested city'#'so i'm going with them to get a milkshake obviously'

did
did u say Ninjago and rottmnt au!!!
id love to hear about it!
@null--void @iloveacronix + whoever else asked!! You shall receive!!!
I don't have many ideas since I started brewing this up yesterday, but basically
The rise crew (the turtles, April, splinter/Lou, and Casey Jr) try to go find the foot clan to get the krang key but end up going through a portal that sends them to ninjago (S3 Ep1) and the krang + foot clan end up teaming with the overlord (the krang betray the foot clan after their released) and the rise crew and the ninjago crew have to stop the krang and the overlord
Basically things are the sake except the rise crew are added onto the main team in ninjago and the krang are an extended villain!!
Draxum, Cassandra, and suinita get in the universe separatly
Duos! (Bc I love them)
Mikey + jay
Leo + kai
Raph + cole
Donnie + zane
Donnie + Lloyd
Donnie + Cyrus
Casey + cyrus
Casey + pixal
Nya + April
Wu + splinter
Sensei garmadon + draxum
Again, I'm still working out some stuff so this is all I have so far!!
And here have a casey edit I made this morning!!!

🐭🥋☯️ Day 11: Favorite Splinter ☯️🥋🐭
@tmaynt
I love this man. Have you seen 87 TMNT? He's simply so precious. A real sweet guy. A warm hearted softy.
There's an episode where a ray can demutate him and he personally destroys it to protect his turtles. There's an episode he showed up guns literally ablaze to save his boys. He calls the turtles "my turtles" or "my sons". There's also an episode where he cures the turtles by giving them moth balls and gaslighting them. He let's them call him 'Master Splinter' because that's their nickname for him because he's really good at splitting wood. There was an episode where Donatello made an anti mutagen and Splinter told them he'd rather stay with his boys. He's the ultimate found family dad.
🥰💕🥰💕🥰💕
Close up!

Wait. Hold up. So the Ancient One is basically the turtles' great grandpa??
#just watched “tale of master yoshi”#once again confirming to me that master/sensei means dad in tmnt language#although all of them (ancient one and hamato yoshi and splinter) have been called father by their sons at least once#tmnt 2003#tmnt#whattrainofthought

I'd sign the petition for Nezha to get a win only if Flyingbark and the LMK fandom starts being nicer to Sun Wukong. The poor monkey is trying his best to fix things and deserves some hugs, not more hate :(
sorry that this became a small essay on tropes but i think something similar to this a lot
i can understand peoples thinking, cause swk is pretty univerally (these days) considered a good guy with a bad past, so i can understand ppl wanting to turn that on its head and ask 'what if he wasnt so good?' cause that trope happens in pretty much every fandom and story retelling ever, no matter how loved or hated the character is
i think some people take it too far in claiming swk is the bad guy, but i also think people sometimes take it too far saying hes always trying his absolute best. theres things he needs to work on and refuses to, but also his motives are almost universally good. and he DOES do a lot of good things
i think hes really interesting because, character-wise, swk falls into the trope of 'old retired mentor' and these characters are usually presented as wise; with an unquestionable reason for every decision, even if that involves sending children off to war or some shit. i usually see the fandom hating these characters bc irl that would be a fucking awful thing to do, and the mentor usually receives no judgment, continues to be in charge, and presented as correct (sometimes to the point that the episode plot doesn't even make sense, just so that it can prove the young mentored characters wrong)
swk fills in this role at the start, but the more the show goes on, the more hes actually presented as not fully knowing whats going on, or how to fix it. people call him out for putting others in danger, and as he realises the decision he made was wrong, or could have been made differently, he stops following the 'master is always right' trope (which is fun considering his own masters methods, which are presented as correct in context, but when brought forward to modern ethics, are more questionable)
hes not perfect. not always trying his absolute best, but hes definatly not the bad guy, in my opinion, hes mostly presented as just. guy. hes tired. hes just a monkey. he doesnt have all the answers. hes trying to do something, and sometimes it turns out for the best, other times he should have bit the bullet and talked things out
i think people need to accept the nuanced take of 'what if he wasnt completly good or bad, and even though hes generally a good guy, he still makes mistakes that fuck stuff up'
that doesnt deserve hate, that makes him an interesting character
#lego monkie kid spoilers#is it??? not really whatever#ask#mk#aw fuck i dont wanna put this in the main tags i dont want everyone to have to scroll past all this#mentors i dont like off the top of my head being sensei wu and tmnt 2012 splinter... theres more im just stupid

If I had a nickel...
for every time Jackie Chan was the voice of an animated Ninjitsu sensei from a show I love, I'd have 2 nickels. Which is weird that it happened twice. (Lego Ninjago Movie and TMNT: Mutant Mayhem)
