The movie made absolutely sense and it was the perfect non-live action sequel to the Original Trilogy of the 90’s Turtles movies. If you take the time to rewatch all the previous movies, you will notice how the turtles grow more and more apart of each other, specially Leo and Raph. It makes total sense that Leo goes training abroad, that Raph becomes a vigilante, that Don works as a tech and that Mikey is just an entertainer. They explicitly reference the original movie, secret of the ooze and turtles in time and you can even make a point about some of the events in the 2003 Turtles, namely the Karai arc. The return of the Shredder is teased at the end. This movie was way ahead of its time and it only got bad rep because the i) the 90’s live action turtles were not yet the beloved classics they are today and ii) because the movie was way too serious for its target audience: kids who just wanted to see the TMNT kick ass as a team.
