Why couldn't she have looked more like this in the movie?
>>151911253That's close to how she looks in the Naruto crossover.
>>151911718
>>151911253Dreadlocks will make anything less attractiveI dont care about the g cups and the face of an angel,dreads make anything look like an abbo
>>151911253orange poop hair
>>151911253Because TMNT is always about the males first. There's literally only three recurring female characters in the whole franchise: April, Karai, and Renet.
>>151911253all I want is another barefoot tickle interrogation scene
>>151911253I really can't stand the enshitification of April O'Niel. Her original design will always be superior. Race swappers are mentally ill.
>>151913156>literally only three recurringMona Lisa is in multiple iterations of the series.Pretty sure Irma and Maligna recurred too, but those two I realize I'd be stretching a little since their recurrences are rare
>>151912169>>151912281>>151913210Yup, this. She should be the original sassy white girl redhead design. The teenage jailbait version is okay too but I will always prefer the floofy-80s-haired busty bimbo version.
>>151913210>Her original designExcept it's not.
>>151913255>Mona Lisa is in multiple iterations of the seriesAnd she's essentially a different character every time. April, Karai, and Renet generally don't change much between interpretations.
Black April is fucking shit. Stop trying to "make it work" and just accept that she's a white woman.
The AI apocalypse is coming, and it is literally the only way you are going to get the real April back. Embrace it.
>>151913423Kevin Eastman based April's character design on Julie Strain, who was his wife at the time, and clearly is not a black woman
>>151914238I mean she wasn't, RIP
>>151913513Ok, true. I concede the point
>>151911253This hair is literally not real. Remember that every time you see a black woman with straight hair it's completely fake. It's a wig. That's not their real hair.
>>151914238No, April's design was based on Peter's sketches, which is where the classic jumpsuit design came from. >>151913423Ironically, it was her original design. Aside from the color of the jumpsuit, there's basically little to no difference between the two.
>>151913156I wish Renet was playable in Shredder’s Revenge. It’s the only thing I needed to make that game Superior tier.
>>151914238I don’t think he’d even met her yet. As I recall April was supposedly inspired, at least in part, by a former gf of his who was half Asian. Or half something. Dont quote be because I’m reaching back decades memory wise.
why are insufferable people obsessed with making her a nigga anyway
Think that "turtles act more like teenagers and even attend high school" shit will be carried over into the next series?
>>151913210>Original design I'm tired of people pretending the 87 cartoon had the best anythingIt sucked
>>151914754Going by what Kevin has offically said a couple times now, April was only named after April Fisher, and looked nothing like her until some issues later when she got the perm. It's not surprising since Peter was the one responsible for her original design. A lot of the BS about April was pretty much debunked a long time ago here: https://tmntentity.blogspot.com/2018/02/was-april-oneil-originally-black-in.html
>>151914320Isn't there a chemical process where the hair is physically straightened? Lathering or something?
>>151914853Yes because social media did nothing but praise that aspect of Mutant Mayhem. It was the one positive those people had about it an otherwise forgettable movie.
>>151911253Because the very impetus to make her black is the same one that makes her an ugly, fat slob. Just keep April white and create an original hot black girl who allies with the turtles.
>>151911253It was a subversive choice from its inception. They didn't want a design you'd actually like. They wanted to "subvert" something or the other.
>>151916034SEXO
>>151915832You wouldn't even need to make an original character, just take some design liberties with Mary Bones/Cherubae and you can have a hot black girl with a super powered "alien" form or whatever. No one is gonna cry if they turn a hag into a hot girl like they do over making a hot girl fat.
>>151914573Playable Renet would have been so much fun alongside the four, April, Splinter, Casey, Usagi, Karai, Mina and Mondo.
>>151914806It's the Tumblr effect. There intention are to make characters as ugly as possible in the name of "diversity & inclusion"
>>151911253Because despite how much media touts interracial relationships.You never see biracial children.There's like...the kid from Secret Saturdays. That's it.
>>151914238He met Julie Strain years after making the Turtles. He based April on a Puerto Rican girlfriend he had.
>>151916904>based onNo, she was originally named after her as >>151915155 pointed out.
>>151911253i want to give her my BIG PICKLE if you know what i mean
