For the 2023 movie, I wanted April to look like 90s Mariah Carey, and voiced by Mariah Carey (with her singing for the "Mutant Mayhem" soundtrack) Also, to have her depicted as a viral podcast social media personality in place of a news reporter.
I can definitely agree with this video 💯. But i do disagree about not having any romance. The only romance we should see is between April and Casey. The Turtles can find April attractive as any teenage boy would. But never should want to be in a relationship with her. Does anyone actually care about the Turtles in relationships? The only relationship they should have is their brotherly love between the 4 and their father. Also they already interact with another outcast in Casey Jones.
I'm cool with one the romance between the turtle's and April. If she's a teenager too. No one bats and eye at Robin and Starfire. Killer Croc and June Moone. Lois and Clark. Beast Boy and Raven. Quill and Gamora. It's fantasy. Is all good, bruv.
@@lepapercastle well for me I've never cared for April depicted as a teenager personally. Her character is meant to be an older sister type to the Turtles. Plus it really got annoying in the 2012 series Donatello crush on her especially when it became a love triangle.
April O’Neil: **sees her Mutant Mayhem Tales of the TMNT counterpart** “That’s it…I cannot work under these conditions anymore…if anyone wants me, I’ll be downstairs at Original Famous Rays Pizza…call Irma, or even Vernon! I don’t care!” **door closing noise**
@BlueBlazeKing still there's no reason she can't be there's different takes on story so you can do that plus it's not like it changes their Dynamic much
When I was a kid, April was one of those characters who shaped my taste in women. She is an icon and must be beautiful. I think April and the turtles have Snow White and the 7 dwarfs dynamic (Casey is her prince, yes). P.S. - there are many insecure people in the comments who think it's only about her race. It's not about her race, you missed the point. I feel so sorry for you all.
no, he's right: the turtles do have a friendly, innocent crush on her in many versions of the story he's wrong about this character model being "ugly", though
Lo has dicho todo MNTC, tal cual es! Ella es un personaje ficticio que contrasta con las tortugas a la perfección. Es raro que haya más parias a parte de ellos y más estando en su equipo, las tortugas ya juegan ese papel como mutantes y dejaría de tener sentido este personaje! Además, en la ficción podemos, y debemos tener personajes bellos, con un físico admirables, contraopuestos a otros personajes que será los feos o los marginados. Ella, al final del día, sigue siendo una humana y no tiene porqué convertirse en una luchadora profesional de artes marciales o tener poderes. Ella hará todo lo que pueda para luchar y ayudar a sus amigos y aliados dentro de sus posibilidades. April siempre ha sido sexy, explosiva y siempre será una mujer empoderada y bella por dentro y por fuera. Yo siempre he preferido ver la figura femenina en los cómics como lo que muchas veces en la realidad no verás. No me asustan las curvas y los detalles marcados, como que ella es una mujer blanca y pelirroja. No es rubia, no es morena, no tiene rastas marrones, no, es pelirroja. Muy buen video My Ninja Turtle Channel!!👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻😁 La verdad importa! April O'neil siempre será HOT! !! ❤🍕🐢🐢🐢🐢
I disagree with this video's premise but, speaking as a ginger, it very much pisses me off that literally all gingers get blackwashed. (unless it's Kletus Cassidy because we can't have a black person playing a serial killer 🙄 and they couldn't even hire a real ginger they just made Woody Harrelson look like a Mexican telenovela character 🙄🙄) and you can forget about the fact that if you DO see a ginger in a movie, she's either a hot babe or he's a huge dumbass or a minor villain. always. every time. name a movie with a ginger male lead. I'll wait. there actually is discrimination in Hollywood, but we're not allowed to talk about it because we don't want to hurt anyone's feelings 😢
I agree! I HATED her design in Mutant Mayhem! WHY!? WHY DID THEY MADE HER UNATRACTIVE IN THE MOVIE!? I HATE HER DESIGN IN THE NEW MOVIE! Mutant Mayhem was mid! April was ugly as f*ck! Donatello's voice sounded like that of a 12 year old child! And the animation/art style was WAY TOO SIMILAR to the Spider-Verse movies (Into the Spider-Verse and Across the Spider-Verse)! Very very MID!
Honestly when I first saw April for Mutant Mayhem..it reminded me of Irma more than anything 😂 I don't care what race April is but they literally gave her Irma's look!
What?! What even is this vid ? why am I getting this recommended lol?!?!??? Why am I even watching this!? What’s Happening ???👀👀💀 what even is there to say🤷♂️😑?? lol
You didn’t even say anything offensive or hurtful and these people are losing their minds.. I was going to make a video on this topic but then you did so I was like ok I don’t have to, but now I think I must. If they hate you, wait til they get a load of me.
You really lost me with the “one set of standards leads to one outcome and another leads to a different outcome” comparison. That was straight up racist and ignorant. That difference isn’t because African people or less attractive. One of those cultures exploited the crap out of the other for centuries. And one could easily find flattering or unflattering pictures of either culture.
Nah. You're wrong. And you missed the entire point of the film. I can only assume you are not an artist and have no background in design. I'll also assume that you don't know anything about story. Not going to say who I am or what I do specifically but I work on major motion pictures as part of the VisDev team. I have not talked to anyone on the team about their design decisions but as soon as I saw it I knew what they were doing. In TMNT mutant mayhem, they stylize everything and everyone. The production designer and the art director made a conscious effort to make ALL the humans "ugly". They are asymmetric and almost off-putting. This decision was made to ground the turtles in the world and make them seem less like monsters. Flipping the script and the expectations. The turtles live in an UGLY world, and they are actually PRETTY Notice how the turtles are some of the rare few designs in the film that are mostly symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing. The "monsters" in the film are the humans (until superfly shows up) Splinter warns them that humans are bad, and dangerous and would experiment on them. The pushed and disfigured faces of humans are supposed to convince us that Splinter is right. April, on the other hand, is one of the few humans in the film who look fairly normal. Her eye is not drooping or falling below the other, her features are fairly symmetrical and Leonardo even says shes beautiful. He also gets nervous around her and all the other turtles accuse him of liking her. So within the world of mutant mayhem, SHE IS ATTRACTIVE. To you, however she isnt. You even say "i dont have to find her attractive but the turtles should". Ok, well, they do... at least we know Leo does. Anyway, I don't think you actually thought this video through.
You couldn’t be any more wrong and I am an artist, producer and animator. The fact they made Leo attracted to aprils HUGE ass was disgusting and embarrassing as well. I’m glad he made this exact video so I didn’t have to. I was about to start making this exact video next week. If their intentions were as you say then they had no clue what they were doing. They completely missed the mark. Accuracy to the original source material should always be number 1. They messed up BIG. They made April about 350 lbs 😂
@@Thomas-ps9qk they really haven't like they say the Turtles should think she's hot or something and yet in the Movie Leo does but they complain about that version
@@superaustin6383 exactly. I'm all for well thought out criticism and I am no fan of DEI, but like, dude make your arguments make sense. As a fairly conservative guy, sometimes it does feel like folks complain about things because it's different and not necessarily because its "bad". This type of criticism is lazy and it only makes us seem like weirdo racists. Im not into shoe horning DEI into everything, but Im also not into complaining about things just because the icecream parlor isn't serving vanilla icecream today.
@Thomas-ps9qk like I get not liking a re design but people like this act like it ruins everything and ignore the fact this franchise does this all the time making this complant make even less sense. Like yeah fine be upset but if someone wants to complain in something like this then like you make it make sense
it's not even "in the world of the movie" that she's attractive: a lot of my friends would have been crushing on this April if this movie had come out while we were in middle school (my actual question is: what does the guy who made this video look like? 🤔🤔)
@TurtleC0mic that's like comparing a Sami lapp hut as a representation of all of europe next to timbuktu castle gondar adis Ababa gondar loango kilwa gedi
Make up your mind dude. First you say the Turtles should find her attractive but then its you not finding a design attractive. So in a nutshell White April good, Black April bad/ugly.
@@darthdarkrageit’s important to criticize and call out the creators who ruin tmnt with crap versions like this. I don’t care for the teenage April that’s another thing they keep getting wrong.
Also in April's case, while she's kinda plain looking it doesn't make her "UGLY" or unattractive dude, many people have said the same thing about Meg Griffin from Family Guy and said she was fat ugly, nerdy and unappealing because Seth Mcfarlane portrayed her in that image, and used it as a running gag throughout almost every season, until things got a little better for her in later seasons afterwards. The truth was Meg was never unattractive, she just was if not just as hot as her Mother Lois Griffin. I myself am not really into April's new design, but I wouldn't say she's ugly either. Just a natural ordinary young woman in highschool hanging out with our 4 Green reptilian heroes in a half shell.
"Being overweight is NOT attractive" Ok I'm gonna have to whole heartedly disagree with you on that statement bro. I know people have opinions that they're entitled to and their preferences, but people nowadays are picky when it comes to looks. Overweight does not mean unattractive dude, only shallow and pigheaded men have that mentality and think like that. A woman can be attractive regardless of her physical appearance, they're practically guys dating big beautiful women now and find them really attractive, not just because of their looks, but enjoy being with them because of their personality or because they're treated right, also alot of different guys prefer big women nowadays. And you shouldn't put down or disrespect the women in this picture 1:10 and say they're not attractive because there's an entire list of people in this comment section (Me included) that will disagree with you, because believe it or not, they actually ARE attractive. Just because you don't find overweight women attractive doesn't mean anybody else doesn't.
For the 2023 movie, I wanted April to look like 90s Mariah Carey, and voiced by Mariah Carey (with her singing for the "Mutant Mayhem" soundtrack)
