If Venus show up in this movie or the sequel, how you will react?

4 baby boy turtles fall into the sewers of New York and are turned into humanoid mutants by a strange chemical who grow into teenagers that have been taught ninjutsu by a rat that has also been mutated into a giant rat, by the same chemical, that learned ninjutsu simply by mimicking it's human owner when it was just a "normal" rat living in Japan. I forget to mention they all know and speak English with no prior education?

Yet, it works and we all accept them. But, a 5th turtle that's a girl and uses magic? "Pfft, that's just dumb..." riiight. Never mind how goofy the '87 cartoon gets.

I'm not exactly being all serious here, but really, just seems like Turtles fans would have a pretty large suspension of disbelief. I sometimes get the feeling a large part of all the Venus hate comes from it being the thing to do. "Everyone else is saying she's stupid, I better too."
Now, I have already said Venus was poorly executed in Next Mutation. But the idea, the idea of Venus ain't bad.

And that's really what is being asked here. There is the potential for Venus to be used in other TMNT series and be done well.

Having said all that, I've got no dog in this fight and I too would like to see the aforementioned meltdown if she was brought into other TMNT series.

Can't speak for all, but this ain't me. I think the entire idea of a 5th turtle mutated with the main 4 is dumb. I mean, I grew up with just the 4. Why add one out of the blue and then she has magic powers? Uhm, no. No thanks. She never fit to me. Her name isn't even an artist name. Idk, I really just never liked the idea.
