The question is, does that Twitter post still exist, sometimes a designer might post something, then deletes the post after getting in trouble.

While introducing an interracial relationship ( in the upcoming show ) would be a pleasant and welcoming change, I would much prefer a show that doesn't depict any romantic relationships. Last edited by Papenbrook; 12-14-2022 at 03:44 PM. |

Not even close,
Apriltello was treated as a side joke in the Nick series, not meaning to be taken seriously and it didn't take up much screentime at all aside from maybe one episode. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will always revolve around male characters, the main characters are four male teenagers for pete's sake.

The only episodes I can think of that were dedicated to AprilTello were A Foot Too Big and that one other farm episode where Donatello and Casey Jones fight alot until becoming friends at the end.

Yeah, each episode is roughly 22 minutes. In most eps that had it, the Don/April jokes got like 1 minute of screentime, sometimes it was only 15-30 seconds.

I would prefer if the turtles were single, or even aromantic (nonromatic)/ romance-repulsed. |

Alright, part of the people/intelligent Earthling experience.
Gotta agree though. While it doesn't necessarily have to go full on into it, at least some touches of it (light crushes or whatnot) makes them more well rounded and relatable. (Not overboard, and not even necessarily in every incarnation.) A side of the inner human within them. Last edited by IndigoErth; 01-02-2018 at 10:22 PM. |

WHAT?!
SINCE WHEN?!?! They're mutant turtles raised in a human world. Sometimes they're raised by a sensei that used to be human, but in pretty much every incarnation there's been some sense of longing to be topside with everyone else. No one questions that they have love, and are loved, by Splinter. And few would argue that they have a fraternal love for each other. Or even a sororal/maternal love for April.

So?
They are human-like Mutant Turtles, with feelings and desires like a humans. Just because they are not (entirely) humans, doesn't mean that they can not have romantic desires. In fact, it would have been very bizarre if they did not. Quote:
Also, romances allow to dive deeper into characters and show them from different sides. |

The teen years are the time where a human body is prepared for procreation. So it’s natural the Turtles would be attracted to human woman or just humans in general.
If there were female mutants available then the idea of the Turtles being with a human girl would not be as much of an issue. But if humans were completely off the table... Last edited by victory_angel; 01-02-2018 at 11:03 PM. |

Yes, they are.
But the Turtles don't have human bodies. And we have no idea how the new show will even address the ooze, insomuch as "is it 50/50 Turtle human?" "is it just a hyper-evolved turtle?"

It depends what the show is meant to be and the target age group, also, is April even younger this time? (referring to above)
As for romance, sure the turtles can have crushes, they think and feel like humans, just as others have pointed out, if it is going to be there it doesn't need to take too much focus. They may not go there with this show. Last edited by newfan; 01-03-2018 at 03:39 AM. |

The author of the picture said that this is just a sketch, but my source (sorry, I can not reveal it) claims that the final design is very similar.

Beautiful, that's precisely what I wanted. There's nothing there saying that's April but at least we have confirmation on who the artist is, and she is a character designer on the show.
(Side note how the hell have I been in the game this long and everybody else got "secret sources" but me?)
