April and her development

*BabyTurtles* · 07-24-2013, 08:07 PM

guys...I usually don't have anything bad to say about TMNT 2012 (cause I love it XD) but something has been bugging the heck outta me...

it's April.....and her development? she just doesn't seem to be her own character....

everyone here almost always associates her with Donnie.......isn't that a problem?......it's always Donnie and her this....Donnie and her that....well what about April just doing stuff for April or with other characters???

don't get me wrong
my problem isn't that she's a love interest to Donnie...my problem is that's ALL her character seems to have time for.

she's either worrying about her father...training....or in some scenario with Donnie. she doesn't seem to have time to build a relationship with the turtles (except Don) or just hang out....she says she's like a sister..but I have a hard time seeing it. (I can only name 3 times she's done something different...and each were extremely short moments)

I know she's not supposed to show up EVERY episode...but when she does, I expect her to do something other than just be driven by the plot
I mean she hasn't shown up for 2 episodes.....and the first thing that's mentioned when she does is Don's crush on her....

I...kinda hope next season she isn't anyones love interest...not Don's...or Casey's....I just want to like April.

I just need to know if I'm alone here.....(end rant)

(I think the only scene that made me happy was when Leo went to her for his girl problems)
