Female Turtles movie?
Is it time for a female Turtles movie, like the Ghostbusters one? Should there be one?

OT style mutation, they mutate from baby turtles into adult turtle-human hybrids and their tits grow under the plastron and crush their organs. Well ****, movie over.

No... don't go Ghostbustering my Turtles. If they're going to get more women in there, I'd rather those who are their own good characters, not just gender swap because no one knows how to write cool original women well enough. Cripe, they got completely lost on any idea of what to do with Karai.
Realistically speaking... I'd rather a big alien turtle-like baddie who happens to be a girl and working for Krang. Like a big ass-kicking female Slash** of sorts, who easily gives our boys a run for their money. Go all out with the gnarly-looking alien turtle thing as far as design goes... not a Hollywood pinup design. Enough so that one of our Turtles by default says "he," and this alien pauses and glares at him saying, "Who you calling he?" And leave any gender signifiers at just that (alongside a good voice, but use a woman with a deeper, strong tone, sort of like a female Nick Slash and suggests "evil alien" well enough) - NO alien/reptile boobs, etc. **Inspired by Slash only, not just some genderbent version. I kinda went to see this now. The writers need to look at fan ideas to pull bits if ideas from... they'd get better stories. Last edited by IndigoErth; 07-11-2016 at 02:50 PM. |

Yeah I agree. Where the Mods, they've all seemed to have disappeared.

I just noticed don is flat chested.
Yknow, each turtle's boobs Are telling of their personality. Mikey the more bouncy playfull one, Raph's big and intimidating, Leo's focused and neutral, Donnie's the nerd with no impressive bodily traits. I like it. |

Unlike the Ghostbusters movie, I don't think that a female TMNT movie would work. Ghostbusters is heavily tied to the premise of people that go and capture ghosts. That's a premise that you could plug any batch of characters into and make it work. So, the female reboot was within the boundaries of what could be done with their franchise. (I have yet to see the movie, so I can't say whether it was a good movie or not, but the critics seemed to think it wasn't half-bad, so I'm inclined to assume that the fan hatred had more to do with nostalgia for the original than the actual quality of the movie.)
TMNT is tied into the specific characters, so having new characters try and do the same thing looses the point of the story. It's not about characters fighting crime and aliens, it's about these very specific characters doing that.

I'd also very much miss our boys. I'm all for girl power and all that, but the viewer relationship (for lack of a better word) with the characters just wouldn't be the same for me.
Nor am I much of a fan of doing "female versions" of existing stuff rather than giving a bunch of girls an original film that is equally as cool. That's getting kinda old. (I wish someone would write a really good film using entirely gender neutral names for the main characters, go ahead and think in terms of them being guys if it helps the script avoid falling into chick flick stereotypes...then cast some of them as women.) If they brought in a female turtle, say for an unlikely 3rd Bay film, I'd still much rather they make her some new evil turtle-like alien villain for our guys to fight against. Make her sorta like Slash... alien like '87 Slash (but a recruit of Krang's), and big and gnarly looking like 2012, but more-so; far more animalistic in look and behavior compared to our moderately human-like guys. |

Maybe the Ghostbusters can get away with that since it's originally a film, not a comic like TMNT.

Not a fan of this idea, but I like the image in the first post. Made me chuckle.

I think I'd be more apt to see it than the Ghostbusters one. I didn't see that one because I honestly have no interest in Ghostbusters these days. The TMNT crossover was about as much as I was willing to give the series.
