Bring back irma!
 

As you can tell from the username i'm a huge fan of the 2012 show Irma- and was considering some sort of petition or informal campaign to get her returned to the show (naturally i was gutted about what transpired in the Invasion) I wanted to gauge how people feel about the character in fandom generally to see if i'm in the minority or not.

Irma is just so cool, stylish and gorgeous and added a different perspective to the show. She was a really cute damsel in distress in the Rat King episode- her fainting was adorable- poor thing!

I feel like it would be sooooo easy to write in a "real" Irma back in the show. Also my theory is that either she was "switched" with the Krang recently in the show and was real in earlier episodes or she was a "sleeper agent" who really thought she was Irma (and had her personality) and was unaware of being a Krang until the trigger phrase/sight of turtles.

Tell me what you think- and i'd love to hear any other Irma thoughts in general! :)

I thought she was okay, but she didn't show up enough for me to really gauge whether I really liked her or not. If she comes back, then cool. If not, then that's that.

She's ok. I wasn't all that fond of her personalty in this version, but I had hopes that would improve once she would finally be in on the secret and met the Turtles. That is of course until that concept blew up in everyone's faces. But agree with the theory that she might have been switched. Maybe she is where ever April's mom is and both will be found.

She has presence and it was nice to have someone who was normal against the backdrop of aliens and mutants but she hardly had any screen time. If there were scenes of Irma interacting with April as her best friend then I would've been furious but that didn't happen so I was unfazed when she wasn't real.

To be honest I was pretty bumped by the reveal. I did kinda like her, her appearance was interesting and I was really excited for the moment she'd meet the turtles... Well, we all know how this turned out... I'm hoping she'll return and that there's a real Irma somewhere, but we might never know.

They kept teasing it at the NYCC panel. Ciro asked if everyone wanted Irma back and then immediately said, "Too bad, she's gone forever! Well, maybe. Who knows?"

e.e

I think there's a good chance of her coming back.

God Ciro is such a troll.

Well he learn from the best when he was here.

Eeeeeeee!

Thanks for the nice and open minded replies about my favourite character everyone!

I guess she was pretty minor so it might seem weird i'm such a big fan, but sure left an impression for me.

Me too, I love when new people meet them, love their slowly growing circle of friends and acquaintances.

Psh... she is so coming back then. :P I hope. Just hope it's not as a Kraang.

Though they all may have a bit of Irma PTSD. Would the Turtles want to meet a real one at this point. lol

I completly belive that Irma was really switched and that she has been always an human

Do you guy remember Irma's first cameo? It happened like four episodes before the Kraang discovered where April studies. And they couldn't even made the robot lady act like an human; Irma was too much sassy!! I think the Kraang captured her, made a copy of her brain waves or something so her copy could be perfect.

I'm so glad that somebody has started this post!
Here a Tumblr blog that supports Irma as human, check it out: http://irmalangensteinremake.tumblr.com

I thought what happened to Irma in "The Invasion" sucked unwashed toenails.

If the rumors are true, then Irma might of had a sanity slippage at some point before we get an official answer.

Boooooooooo!

I really liked Irma...I hope she comes back. :(

Meh. I really don't see what they could do to keep her from being an extraneous character. Somebody tell me something Irma can add to the plot. Even if they made her a mutant, we already have the storyline with Karai. Unless someone offers a good way to work Irma into the story, I'd prefer she stay where she is.

Aw man, not this again.......

I still believe it would be a real copout if the writers decided to bring in a real Irma. I say leave her as a robot.

I liked the character and if I hadn't learned of the character, I would have never started watching this show. ^^. I found her interesting, didn't favor her or anything, but was highly curious about her.

Anyway, I'll quote myself.

Definitely a Vince Russo-style "They'll NEVER see this coming!" kind of swerve, just done to rattle cages. That kind of thing annoys me sometimes. Sometimes you have to, but again, as we see here, you often run the risk of alienating people as well.

It's kind of a crowded show so it's not a necessity they bring her back, but it would probably make some people happy who weren't fans of the Swerve.

yea it's crowded with mutants....I wished they'd get rid of some and have some more humans on the show.

nice to see another wrestling fan here.

You took the words right out of my mouth - if they can throw in at least one new mutant every episode, I don't see why Irma can't get a little screen time too.

also it's much more crowded with male characters than female ones- to me Irma is the most stylishly designed human in the show so far and has all sorts of potential to grow

The execution of the "Irma" project didn't make a ton of sense, but I'm cool with the end result. April was being played from the beginning, and Irma was the greatest ruse ever concocted by the Kraang. I won't lose a bit of sleep if she's never mentioned again.

I want Irma back too.

Irma was unimportant, take some advice:

Your mom is unimportant. :x

I dunno, she's pretty unique and interesting to be discarded aside so easily.

That's not cool, she's the only one at her office at her division.

Maybe?

I dunno, she was either a Kraang plot or got used as one, that sounds pretty important. :)

I am for getting the real Irma in the show and it would make much more sense if she was replaced by the Kraang after she was introduced, not before, or never existed to begin with.

I also hope that we have the real Irma show up. I'm waiting for this to happen in season 3. It would be a great moment. I don't believe it is going to happen though.

In other Irma related news (:D), I'm working on a custom action figure.

There's no room for Irma at the TMNT Inn.
Unlimited space for more dudes and dude mutants however.

Will it have a hatch that reveals a Kraang?

I was kidding.:tsad:

lol, no thankfully. The shirt and boots are not cartoon accurate either, but they seem like something that Irma might wear if she ever changed clothes. The paint is drying now. Pictures should be coming soon.

Well we can't possibly risk too many girl cooties, think of the children.

Unless she has super powers or can time travel. So it seems. Although there is the "tea time with Leonardo" girl.

I won't be surprised if Kraang Subprime shows up in season 3. I hope he won't be pretending to be Irma anymore.

This. She had no real personality and really didn't add anything other then "Hey look, its Irma!".

(Although having another female around would be cool, I'd like her to have some character to her.)

I want Irma back! I want her to actually meet the turtles so she can be in the show more! We never really got to see her full personality. I agree that it would be easy they could just that the Kraang took the real Irma for experiments/etc. Now that she's not there, there's like an empty space in the show now don't ya think? :cry:

Not really. I have to ask though, what did you see in Irma? She honestly didn't do anything.

I know you're not asking me, but to me I think Irma added to the show, in that she expanded the Nick TMNT world. She was another character who had potential, and she made things more interesting. There was that element of whether or not she would meet the turtles or what she would eventually do. In addition to that, she was a new version of a character that I like from the original cartoon. She also added to April's life. Instead of it just being April, Casey, and the turtles. It presented a whole new side to April's story. It also made April more of a regular human character, in that she had a friend who was female from high school. Not that everyone must have friends, but it added more to the show.

Basically anytime you have a recurring character in any cartoon, then abruptly write them out of the show and ruin the character at the same time, that's a problem.
