Hey, I never said the character was perfect. The idea for a female turtle was okay, but the backstory created by Saban, and in fact the entire way she was protrayed on the show, was horrid. However, coincedences do happen in real life, and things like that do fall into place. What confused me was haow she got from China to New York in less than a night! (I say she struck a deal with a demon, who will later come back for payment. Reminds me, gotta finish that fic.)

As a matter of fact, I'm playing around with the idea for a fan comic with Venus and the Dragonlord. Based on the TMNT Letters (which, BTW, were a hell of a lot better than TNM) the Dragonlord reaches out from his prison to pull Venus from her world to his (hence why she "dissapears" for the official universe.)

There are some pretty good fan fics out there already with a good portrayal of Venus.

How about evil Lord Lairdos trying to erase every piece of evidence about her existence....

Oh my God, I think you've just inspired me Karpo. I'm gonna go write a fanfic based on that right now!

**Karpo_007** · 02-17-2003, 04:23 PM

Heh!

**DarthRaphael** · 02-17-2003, 05:30 PM

Or how about a story where there was a parallel universe where the TMNT were all female, and Krang ended up bringing them together somehow.

**Kali** · 02-17-2003, 06:35 PM

Hmm, there already is a fan parody where the Turtles are all girls. TMKT, Teenage Mutant Kung-Fu Turtles, by Amandatello. I always thought a crossover between that and an official universe would be cool.

**GK Punk** · 02-17-2003, 08:42 PM

I think a female Mutant Cat would be cool... but then again.. of course I would ^^

I Finally got the AVI of East meets West to work, and yeah I dun like Venus, for the reasons Shadow mentioned.. way to forced.

Shadow · 02-17-2003, 09:10 PM

i agree with Kali the idea of her was alright... but there were far better ways to do it...I know it wasn't larid's fault...believe me he would have figured out a better way!

*Wes* · 02-18-2004, 06:55 AM

VENUS WAS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

I dunno, she never bothered me. It's already a show about talking humanoid turtles, folks -- I could care less about the sex of 'em. Plus didn't she drive Shredder insane? Not even SPLINTA could do that! Oh Venus, we <3 you.

Quick question: Can anyone see the image in anarchistguy's sig? On page 1.

And Kali: Hey, I just checked out your artwork. Awesome stuff. I really like your Shredder drawings...the head looks a little flat, somehow, but there's something about it that just looks cool. I dunno! Rock on.

**GK Punk** · 02-18-2004, 07:14 AM

Gyah! it's like return of the dead threads!

Dude, this threads last post was a year ago! Mon Feb 17, 2003

*Wes* · 02-18-2004, 07:18 AM

Whoa, holy crap! You're absolutely right. I was looking at the date, but I didn't see the year.

Well. How the hell did I get here?

Oh, right, following the image referrals in the logs. Sorry about that, GK!

**GK Punk** · 02-18-2004, 07:22 AM

That's alright, I think for now I'll leave it open incase anyone has anything they'd like to add. ya never know

Well, before this page is buried again, Thanks.

*J Legault* · 02-18-2004, 05:50 PM

When the NM was on of course i only seen 2 scenes of one episode.(I can't put a good reason why I never seen much of the live action show).

In the beginning I don't remenber seeing Venus before on the show. So I just read the info of NM on the internet a year ago. So I just know that she's raised in China for 17 years and has magical powers.

I blame Laird for the live action to become a flop. Since he didn't have much control on TMNT back then.

Atleast 5 years after NM got cancel there comes the new show with a more successful idea.

I might never of seen much of the NM. Too bad there won't be any chances for it to be released on DVD either. Oh well.

Perhaps she used her mystic powers to teleport herself to America...

If they went with that approach for Venus I belive it could have worked. Maybe she needs a second chance. Fan comic anyone?

Me personally, if I only had a Venus mini figure I'd shoot a TMNT lego animation starring her. I'd love to see Venus in the new show, if only Laird would give her the chance...

*Wes* · 02-18-2004, 07:55 PM

Kali: I'm guessing you wrote that fanfic a while ago (assuming you finished it?), but are you saying that your fanfic is based on the TMNT letters or that Venus's disappearance was actually explained in them in this way? And I'm assuming you mean the letters on the website, right?

Speaking of which, does anyone know the e-mail address that they used to have for Venus? I wonder if you'd get a reply if you tried to contact her...

Oh, Venus! We will never forget you.

Don't think so. Based on what she's done magic-wise through the rest of the series, she simply isn't advanced enough for that kind of spell.

Well it's a good theory though...

What the shell do you think Shinobi means?

True, Shinobi is another word for ninja, but the principles behind her "art" weren't those of ninjutsu. Then again, neither were anything we saw the guys do, but that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish...

I would like to thank my 2 year older cousin for getting me in the habbit. 2001 was when I revised my knowledge on TMNT. And today I'm a bigger fan than I was years ago. I have all 3 TMNT Movies, current Toon, and old school Toon on DVD.
