Will We Get A Human Girl Crushing on one of the Turtles?
 
So, so far as we know, three of the Turtles have shown that they do find human females attractive. Donnie with his Apri crush, Leo with his Karai crush, and even Raphael has admitted that Karai is hot. Will we get a reverse scenario in the future when it's a female human that starts to crush on one of the Turtles?

Ah yes, this is exactly what this show needs.

Eh, if a non-human character like Donnie having a crush on someone like April (even if she isn't 100% human) was labeled weird or creepy to some, then I really can't see it being less weird or creepy if a human had a crush on what are non-human creatures.

To be honest, I hope we won't get anymore characters thrown in just for the sake of romance. I like how they handle the Leo/Karai stuff, but I absolutely can't stand the Donnie/April/Casey triangle. They can do it right, but they can also mess this up.
So I'm leaning more towards no, I don't want any more female characters if they're only there for romance and have no other meaning to the plot, no matter if human or mutant.

This too. Creating characters just so they can serve to be love interests and nothing else is what I consider bad writing.

To be honest, I doubt it. They already have the Leo/Karai, Donny/April thing going on. Besides, it would be way too weird, imo for a human to crush on a turtle...weirder than Leo or Donnie crushing on Karai and April.

I would like to see that, especially if we get the real Irma and she is rescued by one of the turtles(Mikey maybe).

Ninjinister 09-27-2014 09:46 AM

We already do. It's called tumblr.

Megan Fox has stated she's had a crush on Michelangelo, people weren't weirded out by that, so why not a fictional character? There's still Mona Lisa, Angel and Radical that can be brought in.

The romance in this show is nothing more than fan service tease so.....hell no.

You're selfish! All of you naysayers are!

Yes. Peeves me to no end when shows do this. Before the Irma reveal, I was afraid her meeting the turtles would lead to her crushing on Donnie and complicate the romance even further.

Is it really? In this version, they are half human instead of just anthropomorphic like the 2K3 turtles.

TurtleTitan97 09-27-2014 10:04 AM

I certainly hope not. Sounds like those bad Turtle X Human fan fiction stories you read online. Ugh.:tdead:

What do you mean, that's incredibly weird.

I'd argue that advocating the shoehorning of something trivial and meaningless into the show just so that you're pleased, is incredibly selfish.

Waitwhat.

DarkLightDragon 09-27-2014 10:50 AM

I don't think it's ever been said the Turtles are half-human in this iteration, though maybe I missed something, but kinda doubt it.

Being half-human would imply they have human DNA compared to being anthromorphic, which is basically mimicking or having human-like qualities on non-human creatures/things (being able to speak, having opposable thumbs, walking erect, etc.).

Yeah all I remember is like... I think Playmates had said something like that on a cardback or something now that I think about it... but everyone unanimously agreed that they derped.

You speak tons of selfishness. There is nothing selfish of asking will there be something later on? This new set of creators don't seem to be shy of thinking outside of the box, and I applaud them for that. Shame closed minded people like you don't!

It seemed implied rather than stated. Every mutated human changes based on the DNA of whatever they last touch. And the animals that get mutated without touching a human before turn into monstrosities instead of walking talking animals.

Are you serious?

Think of it this way: Would not having this make you enjoy the show any less? Because if having it in, negatively impacts people, but you insist on it, that is selfishness on your part, because you would enjoy it regardless, and only enjoy it more because of it, not less because of its absence.

Increasing your enjoyment of something you were enjoying already, at the expense of someone else's enjoyment entirely, is incredibly selfish.

Furthermore, I'm completely nonplussed that you accuse me "close-minded", you started the entire snafu by asking for opinions, and as soon as someone disagreed with you, you called them selfish. This is an utter logical fallacy. You asked for opinions. By very definition you are opening the possibility that someone doesn't feel the same way as you.

And to complete the trifecta, I'm on the fence about this and am mostly playing the devil's advocate. I didn't expect you to take it so personal.

It's a damn cartoon. Chill out.

I don't know what the mechanics are for a mutation. For longest time, I thought they had half of the dna of the last thing they touch and then I read this http://event0horizon.tumblr.com/post...dings-becoming and thought they were splice animals with tiny bit of human dna and now that I know that the mutagen was meant to fully transform a mutant and not stop half way through which got me thinking that April might be a reverse kraang cause they need her dna to fix it so I guess don't know what to think anymore.
