Description
Brace yourselves, a rant is comingSo, I have the privilege of being a really old fart, so old, that I got to watch the TMNT cartoon from 1987 and the movies, play the games and all that, never read the comics, though.
Anyway, I do understand that times change, and nothing lasts forever, so, in 2003, when they made a NEW cartoon of TMNT, I got psyched as all hell, started watching it, and I really loved it, I read that it was based more on the original comic book, which was cool (as I mentioned earlier, I had never read it), April didn't look as hot, as strange as that sounds, I guess the yellow jumpsuit really add some sexiness points, huh? But She was still boinkable
But then, the series started going out of their way, Shredder was an alien in a robot, Krang was never seen (I know there was a cameo, though), neither did Rocksteady and Bebop (I know there was a cameo of the latter too), the Technodrome was never seen, Krang was never seen, the turtles went to space, then to the future, Krang was never seen, the turtles then went to the internet, there was a Cyber Shredder, Krang was never seen, there was a Demon Shredder, and Krang was NEVER seen!
It kinda bummed me how all these turned out, it was... I dunno, it just didn't feel like the old days, granted, back in the day cartoons were campy as hell, but they were a lot simpler, and seriously, how can you NOT put one of the most memorable and squishy villains in a cartoon like this? Krang frickin' rules! He was tough as nails in the games always bitch slapping you about, him are The Shredder were the most vilest things in the universe, working together!
*sighs* anyway, moving on, last year, I learned about these new CG-animated Turtle series made by Nickelodeon, I decided to check it out... and when I laid my eyes on the "new" April design... well, I got really pissed, no, no, that's an understatement, I was piss-drunk MAD! Seriously, April's design reminded me of Jessie from Toy Story 2, with Dash's face from The Incredibles! WTF?? Ugh, and worst, she was supposed to be a teenager now, because the writers decided that a woman hanging with teenage boys would seem foul...
So, after beating up my head against the wall, I resigned, okay, I see what they're doing, they're really doing it kid-friendly, okay, okay, I don't even have cable anymore, so I'll probably won't watch it anyways, let's carry on with our lives.
So, after a few months, I come back to check on how the new series is doing, and found again with the urge to kick something hard, and repeatedly... why? Because Teen April is now a love interest to... Donatello??? SERIOUSLY WTFFF??? Oh man, I can NOT express how PISSED I am by this fact, I mean, the reason why they made April a teenager is because it was WRONG for an adult woman to hang with mutant teens, right? But now, suddenly it's okay for her to go into inter-species relationships?? They made April a scaly, a frickin' scaly (the reptile-fetish counterpart of furries), seriously, WHAT THE FUCK?
Ugh, let me explain how this is WRONG no matter in which liberal world you live in, well, first of all, they're TEENS, second, one is a mutated TURTLE living in the SEWERS, and the other is a human girl, DEAR GOD, why? Just why? Can you imagine how many diseases April would get from even kissing him? Mouth to mouth??
And okay, now let's compare it with the adult versions of April, sure, Apes used to kiss the turtles every now and then, but more motherly, there's a nice word, while Splinter was the FATHER figure of the turtles, April symbolized the MOTHER figure, that's why they saved her all the frickin' time, sure, they would hit on her platonically, but EVERYONE knew, that turtle-on-human action was wrong! The turtles knew it, April knew it, the directors knew it, and WE knew it, that's why April fell in love with Casey Jones and married him, is that logic too hard to understand?
Ugh anyway, rant's over... I guess, well, whatever the case, all of the Aprils in my pic are happy, all is well until Michael Bay's take on the raping of our childhood comes.
Aprils are property of... whoever, I've lost track who won the raffle this time.
Pic made by me.

Well, in April's case, the writers said that it felt weird that an adult woman would hang around with teenagers, even if they were mutants, it's kinda stupid though, since they are the ones that started that retarded Donnie x April shipping.

Clearly they wouldn't give a rat's ass(Lol,get it?!!)about their hygiene and health. The turtles may look clean but deep down,they live IN SEWERS!! PEOPLE'S FEACES CENTRE THING!!

No, I've actually watched the first season, and the whole Donnie x April crap ruins it, not to mention that Donnie gets additional special treatment through the episodes that just annoyed me enough not to watch any other seasons anymore, sorry

If we all got annoyed about one little thing wrong with a good thing, literally the entire Bionicle fanbase would've stopped caring about Bionicle in 2010. You just have to ignore the romance, otherwise you miss out on something great.

610gonzalez In reply to OnuaSurge [2015-05-10 21:07:26 +0000 UTC]
I really know nothing about Bionicle, not my cup of tea, tbh.
It's hard to ignore when Donnie receives such obvious special treatment from the writers compared to the other turtles, and his April shipping gags are just the insult over injury, every time I saw any moment depicting either of those things, it annoyed me and ruined the episode completely, sorry, I just grew up with series where the Turtles' roles were more balanced, and they worked in complete unity, with none of this Donnie Sue bullshit.
π: 0 β©: 1
OnuaSurge In reply to 610gonzalez [2015-05-10 21:11:45 +0000 UTC]
Just an example.
They do work in unity. And Donnie isn't the only one the writers focus on. Leo was the one to face Shredder and get badly injured, making him the core focus for the first few episodes of season 3, Mikey became Genius of Dimension X, etc. Also, the whole Donnie April thing has died down since the begining of season 3. To judge an entire series on just one small thing is very shallow minded, don't you think?

610gonzalez In reply to OnuaSurge [2015-05-10 21:20:49 +0000 UTC]
Again, I've watched the ENTIRE first season, and while it has its moments, I'd take any of the other series over this one anytime, I don't think judging a series after watching it for a whole season is shallow minded, I think it's giving it more than a fair chance, I do, however think it's a waste of time watching something you don't like for another two seasons, wouldn't you think?
π: 0 β©: 1
OnuaSurge In reply to 610gonzalez [2015-05-10 21:25:20 +0000 UTC]
No, judging it because of some romance that barely even exsists anymore is shallow minded.
And how do you know you fully dislike it if you hardly know anything about the second season (which, by the way, improves upon the first season. April x Donnie is now a rarity, the show gets darker, more old characters from the first show are introduced, etc)?
π: 0 β©: 1
610gonzalez In reply to OnuaSurge [2015-05-10 21:45:26 +0000 UTC]
Did you see how I explained that there was more stuff that I didn't like rather than Donnie x April? It's not just because of a "romance that barely exists", I also said I hated Donnie's special treatment from the writing, which would break the feeling of the 4 turtles working in unity.
But if that's not enough? That's okay, there's more stuff I disliked about the series:
1. New York City feels horribly deserted, monotonous and dead, I mean, when civilians hear a giant subway wagon crashing just outside their homes no ones comes out to record it with their phones? Also, almost every place the turtles visit is conveniently empty at a moments notice even if it's in the middle of the day.
2. The Teen Titan expressions and humor really annoy me, they feel SO out of place, I really wish the turtles' faces wouldn't go SD like that, this is not an anime.
3. Related to above: the overall childishness of most situations constantly makes me question why am I watching this show? I mean, I don't mind watching immature shows, but I hate it when they mix mature themes with situations meant for children's shows, I like them to be one or the other, but never combined.
I mean, you obviously like this show, and I respect that, I'm not saying it sucks and it should be cancelled nor asking people to boycott it, no, I just didn't like it and gave my opinion, sorry, some people hate stuff without even trying it, but I think you can agree that I did more than just try it, and I felt it just wasn't for me, again, I don't know what else to say but sorry, but I've got better stuff to do than forcing myself through another season of this show.

1: Usually it's because the Turtles go out at night. And it's a plot convinience, everything uses them.
2: Fair enough.
3: Trust me, the season 2 finale is FAR from childish.
