Hoping it's just a fun little one-off thing like the Half Shell bit. Or just a rare occasional thing as I'm kind of expecting those to end up. Could be cool, but if it's largely Turtleless...meh. April is ok, but never really been into her enough to be that interested in something without the guys.

If they are doing it to pull more girls into watching...then the continued blindness of the actual fanbase demographics - and that TMNT already has many female fans of all ages - is a bit .

Chicks are people, & people like all sorts of stuff, not just "chick" stuff, ya know?
Props for insightfulness. Wish the people who actually made it (or those doing the marketing?) understood it.
