That was different though. That was rape. But wishing this on the TMNT even after they've been sodomized? That's just pure hate.

Huh, that's actually a pretty accurate way to put it.

I have yet to meet a fanboy capable of doing this.
They'd be like...a unicorn.

Fanboy/girls? Maybe not. Just fans? Lots of them. It's hard to quantify the number of people who just ignore/don't talk about things, right?

I know this thread was made last year, but I just saw it. Anyway I wanna ask: Who would watch a female turtles movie? It's totally bizarre.

I wish the poll said "WOULD you watch a gender-swapped TMNT?" cuz yeah, I'd totally give it a shot depending on what the trailers looked like. I'd even read a one-shot or miniseries that explored the idea of female Turtles, female Splinter and Shredder, a dude instead of April (Aaron? Arnold? Some name that starts with an A I guess) and a female Casey. I've actually seen some pretty cool fan-art of all that

Not ever series, every single franchise needs to do a gender swapped version of their universe... That's gender swapping for the sake of gender swapping... And that's lame... Had GBs been a continuation of the first two movies, the previous casts kids or wives or some mix that made sense, I think it would have been much better received... And also had it not completely sucked.

Depending on who made it? Probably.
If I saw any familiar names, like people from this thread? Most definitely not.

I'll watch anything. Paying to watch it, or liking it, are another matter entirely.

Push come to shove, if it was between the two options, I'd prefer they just brought Venus in rather than make our boys not our boys. As long as said boys aren't made to act stupid over her. (As if PD Mikey wouldn't be inevitable...)

But actually... Make her one of the turtle-like aliens so she's not just a gender bent version of the guys, but also quite different and so if she sucks then she can just go away after one film.

Though out of morbid curiosity I almost want to know what Hollywood female stereotype monstrosity a PD Venus would be... Also to make many male viewers feel weird about it because she'd inevitably be built like a Victoria's Secret model. (Who's accused of checkin' out dem Turtles now, huh? Huh?? LOL)

Technically it would have tons of scenes that would pass the Bechdel Test by default. Today's generation of young girls deserve to have their version of the TMNT, too, let's not be selfish!

Nicely constructed.

Which is the only reason you didn't get a 10/10.
