Tmnt arent insubordinate though. They follow the rules of master splinter. They are good ninjas in that they serve their purpose. In a clan of assassins and spies the TMNT would be shitty ninjas because of morals.
Kuai Lang was a shitty ninja (understandably) when the grand master wanted robotic obedience. That’s what we mean by sub zero changing the rules. Hes the master splinter now and that’s cool. It’s still a clan of assassins but his targets aren't earth realmers anymore.
I wouldn’t consider TMNT ninjas despite it being in their name. They are more like masked vigilantes imo. Leonardo does actually use straight blade ninja swords though, unlike scorpion who uses a curved katana. Sub shapes his ice weapons into medieval looking European weapons for some reason. The foot clan however.... straight up ninja clan lol. I know it’s semantics but I’m just sharing my view on it.
I know of MKM, I need to watch the cutscenes on YouTube someday. They looked awful from what I saw but I can deal with cheese being a horror fan though.
Yeah, however they're still ninjas, hence Teenage Mutant
Ninja Turtles. lol. Master Splinter teaches them the way of the ninja.
Besides, there's been times if you read the comics and even occasionally in the shows where they have been insubordinate especially Raphael.
Sub-Zero(the second one) isn't insubordinate, he's belief is for good as to why he redid the LK. Scorpion is now after he realized his misjudgements while Kuai Liang feels the LK needs redemption for their past mistakes. Bi-Han was definitely insubordinate but there have been several ninjas who have been both obedient and disobedient over the years. Kuai Liang was always a ninja but he wasn't blindly loyal to the LK as to why he went rogue, Bi-Han was just blindly loyal to the LK where Kuai Liang had a conscience as did Smoke.
Of course, but you can have honor being ninja assassins. There's different types of ninjas, the TMNT aren't assassins but they're still vigilantes so technically they're insubordinate regarding the law. But yeah the weapon choices don't really matter much, I mean look at Shredder lol. Dude uses claws and his skills when he fights/armor. Splinter uses a walking stick, the turtles different weapons each, etc, etc. The way of the ninja is more of a philosophy but the question is whether you're a good one or bad one really. Pretty much how I view it.
Yeah, MKM isn't that popular or even known to some MK fans. I enjoyed it, the cutscenes may not be the best but the effort they put during the time was ahead of other games with green screen, video cutscenes etc(except N64 had still images) Pretty much the OG MK fans like me remembered it, where the newer gen don't know much about it or may have vaguely heard about it.
