Yep, figured it'd be like this.
>>150772403I don't get it.Are you just talking about her being black, or is your point about something else like the effect?
>>150772510NTA but the fact theyve changed another ginger into a black women with dyed hair is a bit weird.
Raph has two Jittes.
>>150772557jesus christ you're stupid
https://scryfall.com/search?q=set%3Atmt%2Ctmc%2Cpza%2Cttmt%2Cttmc+include%3Aextras&order=color&as=grid&unique=printsAll the cards revealed so far.
>>150772701WotC apparently decided that it was racist for Japanese people to have Okinawa and Ryuku weapons... So Raph gets jittes and Mikey keeps his nunchaku anyways because they're a bunch of performative faggots.
>>150772701>still no Teenage(r) type
Jennika confirmed
>>150772747>Japanese peopleThey're Turtles from New York,
>>150772710never met him
>>150772403>Black April>"Hacktivist"There are no words to descibe how much I want the people at WotC to lose everything and have to suck off trannies under a bridge just to get a nickle.
>>150772772They're also ninjas.Protip: don't take an anon's wording as gospel
>>150772557Every executive in western media hates pale skin, ginger goddesses. It's like the antithesis to their being.
>>150772403I mean, it's not surprising since they made Aragorn black, but god damn that hacktivist shit is cringe.
>>150772790Actually, the plural of ninja is ninja.
>>150772815>since they made Aragorn blackLotR made Aragorn black*
>>150772813ye b-b-but at least shes not throwing up on herself??!?! see its cool!
>>150772790>Protip: don't take an anon's wording as gospelhttps://youtu.be/HoDigd9xl_c?t=596
Michelangelo has four fingers, also we see a Sai on the couch.Buncha slop for pigs.
>>150772403There was already a TMNT TCG back in the 00s that was good and had hot '03 April
>>150772825that is fantastic, thank you so much for informing us all.
>>150772813Once these scum bags have the excuse to race swap a character, they will NEVER let it go. It doesnt matter if the excuse was complete bullshit, they'll stick to it like bad cologne to a persian.
>>150772849do you not understand how licenses work
>>150772862>Once these scum bags have the excuse to race swap a character, they will NEVER let it go.????Aragorn has been race swapped twice with a white one inbetween, what the fuck are you talking about
>>150772863Clearly you don't, and even less of how the Tolkien Estate handles its IP. lmao
>>150772863It was literally WotC that said they didn't feel like they were doing anything special with LotR so they decided to make Aragorn black. It was 100% their decision to force that on every card that featured him.
>>150772853P H E W. They don't make 'em like that anymore.
You guys are all stupid for freaking out about the April card, we already know the cards are going to pull from multiple Turtles series. There will be multiple April cards. Chill the fuck out.
>>150772788It's a shame.The WotC of yesterday was responsible for some of the most beloved nerdy pastimes in recent history.The WotC of today is a bunch of faggots taking those beloved things and trying their best to corrupt them in any way possible.The only reason D&D survives is because groups only truly need source book from WotC and nothing else. Dice and character sheets and minis they can get anywhere, and they can put in all the Mexican orcs and combat wheelchairs they want, but most groups will just choose to ignore that shit and keep playing what they know.
>>150772890>so they decided to make Aragorn black.so they decided to ask LotR if they could make Aragorn black*
>>150772859If you're being sarcastic, then congratulations on probably feeling the intended emotion.
>>150772924Again, not how that works.
>>150772905It looks like shit. If you're gonna make April black, don't give her red hair. And don't make her a "Hacktivist." Young and Old people find that term cringe as hell.
>>150772936That's LITERALLY how it works.
>>150772931upvoted
>>150772905example
>>150772813Considering she's still white in other forms of entertainment like Fortnite, TMNT's still kinda schizo when it comes to how it's represented.
>>150772970then why didnt they lead with the ginger april in her yellow jumpsuit that THEY KNOW would more than likely sell more/create hype thats not a "HUH YE GOTCHA" THING i am genuinely asking
>>150772970>>150773000There will not be another April. They are having this be an "original setting." There will be black-and-white "comic treatment" special versions of certain cards (we only saw Leo so far).
>>150773049id like to think WOTC isnt that petty, but maybe they are. i havent cared about it for about 12 years.
>>150772970I mean, that one is literally named after the multiverse crossover special, so obviously it's got different versions of them there.
>>150772701Gotta admit I'm a little surprised he's mono red. I would've thought red/black.
>>150772954They literally do not have to pass every single minor decision by the license holder.
>>150772882If you want me to understand what retarded ideas pop into that massive cavern you call a brainz you actually have to provide context to it dumbass. If you're refering to the human shaped skid marks people have assured me ae are in fact Professor Tolkiens grandchildern, they don't give one shit how someone bastardizes their grandfathers legacy as long as they get some dosh. It doesnt matter what a card made by some political activist shows, the original text was quite clear that he was just tanned and swarthy, clearly because he made his living as a Strider. The choice to make him black was not a harmless artisic choice, as you would clearly like everyone to believe. It was made because WotC is ideologically captured and race swapping is a signal that they follow the right politics. Hopefully in the near future, all the artists, writers and producers at WotC all get caught in a massive fire and burn alive and hopefully you get caught by a wild crack addict who saws your head off from the back.
>>150772403Why does she look like live action Starfire?
>>150772905>god you guys are so stupid for noticing things!How's tbat WotCock taste?
>>150773078They are petty enough to send Pinkertons to the home of one of their supporters and rough em up over a mistake Wizards made.
>>150773117This and that assumes those wretched money grabbing shits care about anything that defiles their grandfather's work. None of this would have happened if Chris was still kicking.
>>150773171What?
>>150772403So is this yet another thread where /co/ likes to pretend that TMNT is somehow NOT a franchise that is 90% loved by fat gay dorky women who only ever want to see race swaps and fat ugly women characters? It's been like this for years now.
>>150773171>They are petty enough to send Pinkertonsi only know its the best weezer album.
>>150772905They're going to make her black in all of them. Jews get off on doing this.
>>150773234>'s been like this for years now.were all aware the women/trannies have destroyed almost every franchise.
>>150773199https://www.dicebreaker.com/categories/trading-card-game/news/magic-the-gathering-aftermath-youtube-prompts-pinkerton-investigation>Magic: The Gathering publisher Wizards of the Coast reportedly sent Pinkerton private investigators to a YouTube creator’s house last week to retrieve mistakenly sold cards from an unreleased set. In doing so, the massive company upset the creator’s home, allegedly harassed neighbours and spawned a wave of criticism from the tabletop community and beyond. >In a video explainer published April 22nd, Cannon claims the agents threatened jail time, huge fines and other repercussions if he didn’t relinquish the “stolen product”, which reportedly upset his wife to the point of tears. The creator said that he purchased the boxes from an acquaintance who did not realise March of the Machine: The Aftermath was a substantively different MTG product from the recently released March of the Machine set. The Pinkertons took everything, including tokens and packaging, before giving him the number for a Wizards of the Coast employee.
>>150773261Not just destroyed, about ten years ago danger hair lesbians really latched onto TMNT in a huge way until they became the main part of the fanbase. This new set is made entirely for them, the current fans of the franchise.
Well, it's not like we didn't see it coming.That being said, the fact that these giga faggots are STILL trying to make black April a thing is just the shitty icing on top of the dumpster fire cake that is MtG at this point. We're gettting two fucking sets set on the plane of "New York City" this year, with the last one giving us a fucking pidgeon and a bagel as cards. That's not even touching on the absolute state of main setting these days being an abhorrent mashup of the most disgustingly millennial tropes and characters thrown into whatever faggoty take on a given setting they can come up with.>Lol, what if we threw all these magical character into the old west?>What if we put them all into whacky races!This shit is so fucking bad now, they frankly deserve everything that's coming to them. I hope Mark Rosewater winds up blowing trannies under an overpass for nickels in the end.
>>150773234So this is yet another post where a faggot likes to pretend these trannies barely make up a single digit of the percentage of the total fandom yet are allowed to run rampant running the franchise cause the execs cant be bothered and the HR hags agree with their politics 100 percent.
>>150773315You're not the target audience anymore anon, haven't been for a few decades.
>>150773373This is simply fucking wrong. Everyone I know who plays the game things this is retarded.t. zoomer
>>150773373Same here but I aint gonna pretend these shemales outnumber us for love of the series. If they did Rise and Mutant Mayhem wouldn't have been the specacular flops they are.
>>150773313Don't forget they are letting their shitty crossover cards be part of actual competitive play.
>>150773420Different anon here, but I don't think you understand what target audience means. Or you just missed the word target.
>>150773373People with taste were the target audience until around 2016 (probably even earlier) before WotC leaned hard into social just shit. Of course, we all already know this, you're literally just bullshitting to try and demoralize everyone and maintain cultural control for just a little while longer.I'm afraid we already created the hill. No one is going to listen to your shit anymore faggot, and I can't wait to watch you wither away to utter irrelevance
>>150773373That's why comics are failing as a medium. Males aged 13-30 are the cash spending demographic, looking for fiction to immerse themselves in and be loyal to. Loser activists don't buy products, just screech until they get their way.
>>150773479I don't think you realize that you are no longer a part of the narrative.Companies producing media and content very clearly do not like you, and they do not want you. Being angry and bitchy about it does not make you any more attractive either and makes everyone think that they made a wise decision writing you off.
>>150773176Other anon is acting like the Tolkien estate is overseen by people who love and respect LotR and not the kind of soulless retarded faggots who okayed and allowed Rings of Power to happen twice.
>>150772970I really tired of these black & white color "Prime Turtles". Where is all-red Mirage Turtles?
>>150773510Is that why they're all starting to change course and cancel leftoid projects as they consistently fail?
>>150773510And the execs wonder why they can't turn a profit anymore.
>>150773541Other Anon knows that he's being a shit bag and just trying o get a rise out of people. He's being a pedantic. Little shit heel because acting like one get him the precious (You)s he literally can't live without.
>>150773578Don't get it twisted anon, they're going to throw us a few crumbs and then act like they totally changed their ways. They still love social engineering and will keep doing the same shit they always have, just try and keep on the down low rather than scream at you with a bullhorn. Stay vigilant.
>>150772701Why not give Raph a oni mask instead of durag?
>>150773621Well by all means, put on a MAGA hat and then make a lot of edgy Hitler jokes over and over again. That will definitely make you look really attractive to media companies and make them want to cater to your demographic again!
>>150772772The funny thing about the durag: they saw that Raph was impulsive, violent, and emotional, and thought that him being black-coded would be a good fit for that sort of personality
>>150773642Because they couldnt virtue signal about how one or all the turles are "black coded"
>>150773373The stock excuse for bad decisions that only appeal to people who won't spend money on the products pandering to them.
>>150773633I don't necessarily doubt that, but it is definitely fun to watch the commies who got use to getting pandered to suddenly finding themselves without their precious corporate backing
>>150773645Nice strawmanDid you "girlfriend" make it for you?
Adorkable
>>150772772Have we gotten to where it's against the rules for a Japanese immigrant to want to train his adopted children in his traditional lifestyle and philosophy? Are WotC anti-adoption now?
>>150773712I hate these "people" for fucking much
https://old.reddit.com/r/magicTCG/comments/1o34hmi/tmt_sloppy_pizza_fullart_basics/Even reddit calls it slop
>>150772907>The WotC of yesterday was responsible for some of the most beloved nerdy pastimes in recent history.Speak for yourself, kamigawa was ass.Artifacts and slivers for life.
>>150772701I would make a Usagi Yojimbo joke, but this shit pile isn't worth it.
>>150773676No one is asking you to buy this either.
>>150773753Than I guess that just means they don't want anyone buying thisNot very smart business wise, but hey, it's their company to immolate.

>>150773678Oh for sure. Im just saying keep one eye open regardless.
>>150773745Slivers always were, always are and will always be a cancerous set.
>>150773728I don't know, I was just questioning the logic I was told was being used.

>>150773787>setI don't actually play this game, but I'm pretty sure you're using that word wrong.
>>150773121
>>150773765But thats where you are wrong my farcical fuckwit. This whole thing is the most blatant attempt to get as many people as humanly possible to buy their latest dogshit slop set in a desperate attempt to keep the IP afloat. They may throw insults our way but what they truly want is for us to give into the new shitty dynamic and buy their dogshit without thinking.
>>150773810An excellent decision made by a man of immaculate taste.
>>150772701I would guess it's because of picrel being an old staple
>>150773833Fine, theme, genre, whatever the term is. Sue me.>>150773835Maybe I should shorten it. Ya know, not fry what few braincells you have left.
>>150773853Come on dude, you know the fags running the joint aren't that clever.
>>150773853They told us why in their own words, here:>>150772850
>>150773199A couple years back there was the set called March of the Machine, and a much smaller, yet-unreleased sequel set called March of the Machine: Aftermath. Some Youtuber ordered a box of MotM boosters from Amazon and Amazon mistaken sent him stockpiled MotM:A boosters instead, well before their street date or even full set reveal. Said Youtube obviously went online with "oh shit, check this out" and Wizards, in some supremely stupid decision making, decided to hire the goddamn Pinkertons (know commonly known about thanks to video games) to harrass the guy and his wife.
>>150773883Yeah, I ain't giving them views.
>>150772850I said WORDING, you idiot.
>>150773869>whateverI'm starting to think you might not actually know as much about this game as you claim to.I know that slivers are a type. That's not any of the words you said.
>>150772403i don't know much or care about turtle lore. why is ariel on a card?
>>150773911Just explain your point, or whatever you were trying to say.There's a reason I replied with a dumb pedantic correction in >>150772825 because it sounded like you were just stating something obvious and irrelevant to my original point, which was really just another correction because turtles from New York aren't the same as "Japanese people" and I thought I'd point that out, and maybe get a response that clarified the actual point if there was one that I just missed.
This shit exists purely because of the old Mistform Ultimus joke.
>>150773743I've seen multiple people now aggressively defending that those cards aren't AI art and they're just digital paintings by a guy who does digital paintings that looks nothing like that, and whose art has never been so muddy, awkward, or so borderline AI-like as those cards very much are.WotC put a real artist's name on very obviously AI placeholder art.
>>150772403Ironic that they would stick an attractive Black version of April on a card most people won't see.
>>150773963That isn't Ariel you retard.
>>150774001Its amazing how manything start out as jokes which are then latched onto by SJWs and made entirely seriously. Iceman will always be my go to example.
They really did put their best foot forward with Final Fantasy, huh?
>>150774052the box says ariel so i say it sorry your feelings are hurt
>>150774025>attractiveYeah, no. She is thoroughly mid. And none of that changes the fact she shouldnt be black to begin with.
>>150774079The box is just anotjer example of Disney white washing their past in order to pander to the "Modern Audience." Why wouldnt I be angry about a company shittingball over something and just being told to be ok with that?
>>150774111i dunno why you getting rage baited by a corp?
>>150774131I don't know why you're sucking corpo dick so shamelessly.
>>150774179again just using the basic names they are given isn't sucking dick it's using basic titles.
>>150774200Sorry dude, I can't hear you with all that corpo jizz in your mouth
>>150772710>>150772510kys redditfag
>>150774265i guess i'll let you be, imagining your world of jizz i suppose.
>>150774310>Gluk gluk glukDude, pull the dicks out of your mouth and talk clearly please
>>150773898>decided to hire the goddamn Pinkertons (know commonly known about thanks to video games)what? Wtf do they teach you zoomzooms in school these days.
>>150774289Not the same person.
>>150774349things that don't upset corpos, the same thing they've taught for ages
>>150774388>things that don't upset corpos, the same thing they've taught for agesI guess do they not still do the way we got the modern workweek and the strike breaking that happened? Pinkertons historically were all over that, you'd usually encounter them through that or the founding of the FBI.
I believe I stopped collecting MTG sometime around saviors of kamigawa.Then I picked up MTG: Arena for like, a month or two and played that about 6 or 7 years ago (maybe longer) I miss anything interesting since then?
>>150772557Why haven't you done anything about it? You keep giving them permission and they'll keep doing it
>>150772905>racists >chilling out
>>150774399no. teaching about unions is a thing most schools don't do
>>150772403>human
>>150774481Nope. Lore has been bad for nearly a decade with the jacetice league and when WoTC made a universe beyond set (non Wizards property sets) it outsold any set in years by a large margin. so now they're starting have a large chunk of UB sets every year
>>150774623Shame. Really is. I'm dating myself here, but I started magic when weatherlight was new.Following the tempest block was so much fun. The story was so cool. Mirrodin was super rad.Had to sell all my cards though.
>>150773091They all should be mono black or black/??? because they're ninjas.Leo: black/whiteRaph: mono blackDonnie: black/blueMikey: black/green or black/red
april was black once in the comic. they changed her around. I prefer her a ginger reporter, and not a hacker or psychic mutant, but if youre going to revert her back to black then make her hot. being a fat nerd is the worst thing
>>150772557Honestly haven't they been race swapping April longer than her being white at this point? I'm not even saying it's right or anything. But I honestly feel like there are more especially recent depictions of April being a black girl that I can't even remember the last time she was white. Goes to show it worked on me at least. The first one was the best don't get me wrong, but the black character has more or less taken the place all according to plan.
>>150773728Okinawa isn't Japanese . They were invaded by the colonizer Japan. That's their justification.
>>150772764Who is she?
>>150772905Which incarnation is this April?

>>150772557April has been more black than white at this point.
>>150774732She was NEVER black in the comic. Remember that the Jheri curls are just a new haircut for her, not her natural hair.
>>150776751That makes it worse
>>150776818this version was based on a bi-racial womanso she's half black
>>150772862Catwoman is black in all side media now. Nick Fury is completely solidified as a black guy now.But I don't know if it sticking too much elsewhere. They kind of try with Ariel and Jimmy Olsen.
>>150776818We all thought she was interracial back then. And didn't care. We also didn't care when she was a white redhead later.
>>150777483>so she's half blackNot really true either since even Kevin pointed out that April was only named after April Fisher, and didn't start looking exactly like her until issues later. It makes sense considering Peter was the one who created April's original design, and her being a white chick was pretty much settled on when issue #2 was being made.
>>150773462>t. zoomerare you really surprised
>>150772772They’re ItalianThey have Italian names, live in New York, and love pizza
>>150777483No she wasnt, she was based on a white mutual friend, you sweet little lies have no basis here, faggot.
>>150777793>weYour lies only fool you commie.
>>150777956They have italian names because Splinter is an Italophile.
