Apparently, April's bat was going to have a pink glow.
Spoiler:
I wonder why they've changed it to green. |

Guess they didn't want April to come off as too girly.

Isn't everything today all about girl power anyway?

Because that would be sexist. Why else?

I'm a little sad they changed it to green, but only in the wake of Janelle Monae's video for her single "Pink."
Oh the fun connotations that could be made from that. CW: Video is risque, and not intended for children, which is why I haven't linked to it here.

I personally have no problem with it, even love it, but I guess many don't like "stereotypical" femininity from both sides of the spectrum.

But Donnie's Noggin appears to have been gargantuan from the get go.
And yeah, I'd see the pink bat as lazy writing.

I would have liked the pink bat~ It would have been super cute with her knocking people out with it.
Allura from Voltron wears pink and she rocks it.

It's green obviously because the Turtles are green. I didn't realize this was such a shock.

Anything remotely binary is lazily written for plastroncafe.

Kind of failing to see how giving the girl the pink thing is lacking in imagination.
This is the kind of thing I delight in being wrong about though, because it's entirely possible to take an overused trope, subvert it, and make something wonderful out of it. But...not knowing the folks behind this show yet, I don't know that I want to allot them that level of credit...or open myself up to the potential for disappointment.

Considering April will be doing some fighting with that magic bat of hers I wonder if people will complain like Nick April's psychic powers. We're most likely going to see this April in the action just as much.

so as long as she doesn't develop, telekinesis, a sixth sense, telepathy (and a quick mastery of ninjutsu)...I think we are fine XD A bat is pretty straightforward~ ^_^ Though I wonder what's it's special skill is.

I hope that they (the showrunners) won't rely on stereotypical tropes for April. (You know, the Sassy/Angry Black Woman and all that.) |
