Leo: When manga characters literally say "❤" out loud, I wish I could do that.
Mikey: You can! Just put a little love in your voice! Smile even when you're talking on the phone! People will hear it and know!

Hot take, but I think every new iteration of TMNT has something different to offer the fandom. One is not better than the other besides a fan’s personal preferences.
Like the fans of ‘87 turtles are always gushing about the pure comedic gold they had to offer.
2003 turtles gave us a darker, grittier view than had previously been in the cartoons, which is something you would’ve had to read in the comics before that.
2012 turtles combined the mood and tone of the 2003 show’s darker attitude for the villains, while maintaining a balance with the more ridiculous, comedic side of the cartoons.
Personally, I haven’t seen Rise! yet, but it’s on my to-do list, same with Mutant Mayhem.
However, from what I’ve seen on this site and in a few fan fictions, you guys seem to appreciate rottmnt’s commitment to a more modern cartoon style and tone without sacrificing the inherent voice of the characters, along with the role changes they gave to the turtles.
Fans of Mutant Mayhem seem to like the more teenager-y characterization of the turtles, having them be more relatable to the current generation of fans.
Correct me if I’m wrong on these analyses, but my general point still stands: each of these cartoons and every new version of the turtles brings something different to the table we fans feast at. Each new show brings in a new generation of fans, and each new fan brings new ideas into the fandom. That’s why TMNT as a whole had been able to keep going and producing more media for forty years now.
So instead of hating on each new version, as we are so wont to do as staunch supporters of our own personal favorite iteration, maybe we should try to find the thing that makes these new turtles so likable! What can they bring to the table that we haven’t seen before? What makes a whole new generation of fans fall in love with these turtles?
I dunno, I just think the fandom is always way too harsh with new fans and new shows (myself included, I wasn’t too happy when Rise! came out, but I’m over it now). We end up torturing ourselves over something useless, when we could be nurturing this new generation of fans to love all the turtles the same as we do.

Leo Ninpo HC?
okay- WHAT IF-! just for sillies,
Leo used his ninpo to make a giant anime sword to fight with? Heavy move? I just imagine him swinging a huge- and I mean HUMONGOUS (like twice the size of him) sword around with his full body. Just like, maniacal grin on his face while he’s doing it too. He KNOWS he’s being a lil shit and showing off during a fight, but CMONNN! it would look SO COOL!
instead of his normal light attacks with his odachi/dual katanas, he just turns it into an impractical hulking slab of power to totally kick his enemies ass? A giant power/heavy hitting move?? All while looking cool? Yes please.
