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.

Cripes! This one is almost as popular as makotomikami.deviantart.com/ar…
I really like the way you did them all. I never really liked the style of yellow-suit April. I honestly don't get why other people thought she was hot, cos I didn't at ALL. Weird huh?
But you really made her look better in this one! Nice eyes. And nice everything else! DAYUM! Heh heh.
Never really new much about the other ones. Is the new one a teenager or something? I can see how she'll get popular. But yeah, really cool stuff here. Kinda want to see a picture of Yellow April by herself! Heh heh.

Yeah, but now, I think that the new April being a teenager and that Don platonically loves her is the LEAST of my concerns, what fucking grinds my gears, is all this bullshit fanart about... turtlecest, you heard me, WTF if wrong with people nowadays?? You see? This is what you get when you shove too much liberalism in society =_=
Anyways, eh, I might one day give another go to Yellow Jumpsuit Apes, for now, have you seen this one? balak01.deviantart.com/art/APR…

You think things are bad with TMNT and April now? Just wait until Michael Bay is done with her, she'll be an ass and a pair of boobs with zero personality or character, and she'll probably sleep with at least one of the turtles. Not only that but the turtles will be aliens, and one of them will be a racist sereotype, and they'll be aliens and...look my point is, however bad the teenage version of April may seem now she cannot possibly be as bad as what Bay will come up with. Now if you'll excuse me I've got to go stick pins in a little Michael Bay voodoo doll

Okay, here's my take on 2012 April.
First off: She's a kunoichi now. A female ninja. Self defense. Less episodes wasted rescuing her. More character development room. That's a bonus.
Second: She and Donnie actually aren't that bad of a couple. I mean, yeah, there's that whole interspecies romance thing going on...but I doubt the directors are looking at that...more at their personalities. To be honest, if you look at it through THOSE lenses, Don and April are a pretty good match. And besides, it's not like there's something huge between them. As for right now, it's one-sided, on Donnie's side. April has kissed him---on the cheek ---ONCE and ONLY ONCE. There is nothing sexual in their relationship at all.
Third: Don't judge a book by its cover. If April had done that to the guys, she wouldn't even BE in this series. So why do it to her?
I don't hope to change your opinion by any means, friend; I simply wish to show you a different perspective.

Again, as I explained multiple times in the comments, the writers had probably the best intention in Don shipping April... but the fans don't!
This kind of subtle shipping, spawns a hot mess of really obvious sexual shipping, did they not learned from My Little Pony? Fans will take EVERYTHING to the extreme! And why the heck does it have to be sexual? I mean... turtlecest? TURTLECEST, wtf?
Jesus Christ, U just miss the years when the TMNT show was badass and the characters weren't having sex every five seconds, heck, in my entire life I hadn't seen that show anything like that! ugh.

StarWarpXVI In reply to ??? [2013-09-26 15:30:28 +0000 UTC]
I couldn't agree more with you. I grew up with the 03 April, and I was madly inlove wit her concept. She was an ADULT. (25 I think?) She had her own life and took care of herself. She was a good sister figure and it just seemed so realistic. Even Karai looked a lot older. Maybe older than April. He design was nice, too! She was not some hot super sexy babe! She was NORMAL looking. But that could almost lead to my rant about how Megan Fox is suppose to be April in Micheal Bays TMNT....and I don't want to even GO there. T___T
Otherwise, I totally agree with you on your rant.

Ok. i get your upset about the Donnie/April shipping, but don't worry. Casey is coming in soon. he'll be around April's age and we see him helping her out so maybe they'll bring back the Casey/April relationship.
But really is it wrong to fault Donnie on this? Don't you recall being a teenager and getting blush faced seeing cute and nice girls that you can't help but find them appealing even beyond their looks? Maybe Donnie's going through the same thing. you don't know.

well you weren't lying in your info box up top. you sure act like an old fart.
Not EVERY fanart is surrounding any kind of Relationships, but don't tell me that there weren't any fans back then that didn't draw one or more of the turtles cuddling up to that yellow suited reporter..especially since she had THAT kind of figure that screamed for it. XD and DON'T get me started on April in the 2003 series i mean good god, how much of her skin is showing? sure it ended with the official marriage of Casey and April, but that's beside the point that many fans were nerdy shippers when the show was running.
and don't think i DON'T have a problem with shipping. don't get me started on SupesXWonderWoman in the new 52 X/ Just saying you're not the final say on what anyone wants to waste their time and energy drawing and/or writing.

Well, I dunno if there were shippings back in my day, because fortunately, there wasn't ANY internet to rub them in your face, I myself never really did any romances with April and the turtles, actually, it never crossed my mind back then, it was pretty much the same as how they were portrayed in the cartoons and movies, the turtles would only flirt on April, but nothing more than that happened.
Actually, and this is ironic, my bro and I used to ship April O'Neil and Peter Venkman from the Real Ghostbusters! Ha! Well, that's just the way it was, we had April and Peter action figures, and we used to roleplay that they were married and lived together, and we had all the turtles and Splinter to throw in the family as well, heh, those were good times.
But again, I don't recall anyone ever setting up April with a turtle (even less a turtle-on-turtle bromance), times were a LOT less liberal, now, everything just gets out of hand, it's all about sex-sex-sex, I mean, not that sex is bad, but there's a lot of other stuff in life that's actually more interesting =_=

I could see that April was made younger becouse her to have more time for herself, for example mastering ninja skills, desirabley by many fans who wants to see April protective for herself (I wasn't complaining for her for not having such abilities); to orientate for her future job or make it yet a secret for the viewers. As if they say "the hanging out with a grown-up person is weird" , it could be said as an excuse to not tell much, many things.
