Poor guys had to deal with the aftermath, but got cuffed instead-

Also 2012 Splinter:

Do we not think about the way Mira hugged onto Raph the same way Karai hugged Splinter?

When the scenario is both girls reuniting with their fathers after losing their families?

Twice in both cases, as Karai lost Tang Shen and the little family she had with Shredder and the foot. And Mira's whole clan was killed before she found her new family and they got attacked, and she thought they were all dead.

Doesn't help that they were both kidnapped from their families.

So it becomes harder hitting when you think about how both girls are reuniting with their fathers, and they think they are all they have left of their former families.

The fact that Raph is essentially living Splinter’s life in the apocalypse and this moment is where he believes everyone in his family is dead. Except for his daughter, who was taken from him.

And the moment they reunite, she's the first one to hug him.

And like his father before him, he was the one to be taken aback by the sudden embrace and acceptance of his daughter.

Where both pairs understood they were all they had from the life they knew before.

And then there's the fact that both dads hold their daughters in THE. EXACT. SAME. WAY!

Holding them by their backs and heads to keep them as close as possible. And giving them love in their darkest moments after everything's changed for them.

Does anybody else think about that?

No?... only me...?
