April as a Ally in Combat?

*oldmanwinters* · 05-29-2020, 11:47 AM

As weird as Archie's May East mini-series was, it at least made an effort to explain why April made such quick progress at being trained by Splinter. Every other instance in which she's a fully functioning adult who quickly becomes a skilled fighter and acrobat within a few weeks/months after meeting the Turtles defies any notion of plausibility. It's also more believable that she could make quick progress as a teenager like in the Nick CGI toon, on account of the fact that a lot of kids don't start playing particular sports until high school, and then become top prospects within 2-3 years.
