Your life as a human is done and your now a human rat forced to live in the sewers for the rest of your life. You'd think Splinter would be alot more depressed 😂
The depression thing could be cool if they run out of story fodder, but this back story has SO much more potential.
Former students, allies, enemies, competitors, and all different martial arts styles can be brought in as storyboards.
With a mimicking rat (which is stupid btw), the only back story could be if the parakeet in the next cage happened to step in mutagen too. One shot villain, Splinter vs Polly maybe.
Unless THAT Yoshi had a pet monkey, parakeet, rat, iguana, cat, dog, gerbil, ferret, pot-bellied pig, ... etc. which would be even more stupid,
