Is it time for a new April O'Neil?



Should she be recast, like Megan Fox was in Transformers: The movie Part 3?

For as long as there exist people who could play a better April that actually is April, there is only one proper answer - of course.


This woman only got the job due to connections and her looks that are for some reasons supposed to be impressive. I guess actual (not to mention genuine) facial expressions aren't considered appealing on women anymore. (Dear god, if we smile, the skin around the mouth, eyes, etc might crinkle up. Who the hell wants that. Fill it with botox.)

No. She belongs with Platinum Dunes. They go together like watermelon-flavored Oreos and strawberry milk.

Would it be appropriate if she was replaced with Rosie Huntington-Whiteley?

I'm pretty sure the Voice Over industry is the only place in Hollywood where you don't get jobs based on how you look, or who you know.

I'm up for another April, if for no other reason than to let Megan Fox finally be free of Michael Bay. Poor lady.

That said, she was one of the few bright spots in that first movie for me. She was trying her best to do what she could with what she was given.

Agreed. Poor Megan.

She's always been A-OK by me, in any role I've seen her in.

I don't think she's very good as an actress. But the level of hate towards her personal appearance is just the utter height of mean-spiritedness.

I know, I know... here's a pot calling kettles black. Still. Meanspirited.

Never Kendrick.
I'm put up my opinions on this too many times already...

She should look like FW, but written like a real woman, not a paper doll.

I think we're more likely to get a Three Dimensional Michelangelo than we are to ever come close to getting a Three Dimensional April.

She WAS free of Michael Bay. SHE decided she wanted to work with him again.

The woman who believes her unborn baby talks to her and told her it wants her to move house because it wants to be raised in a certain place and tells her it is a genius.... I'm just gonna take her choices with a grain of salt. lol


No ill will toward her, but there are certainly better April candidates out there. Way better.
