Why No Venus?

*miru* · 06-07-2013, 10:53 AM

It has been said in an interview that Venus is not in the Nickelodeon show. Why was this design made? Is she property of Saban?

*ObiWanFan4life* · 06-07-2013, 11:14 AM

Because Venus De Milo is a terrible character.

Venus have a lot of baggage, not to mention she is problematic as a character in many ways. One is that she removes the turtles lonesomeness that they are the only of their kind.

Venus just don't fit as a main stay of the group. Also four is already many main characters, adding a 5th and making it a odd number one would get more attention then the rest, as a "super protagonist", the special one. Like Green/White ranger in MMPR

Ah Venus. *smiles* The thing is, Venus was doomed the minute they changed the TMNT's back story and said "there was a fifth turtle with us in the bowl". Or whatever the hell it was they said. She was terrible on that show.

But. She could be reworked into a better charachter easily. So Honestly, who the hell knows? She left a bad taste in fans mouths because of the way her charachter had been portrayed, so that has to be over come before certain fans will accept her.

She was a good example of a charachter with potential done wrong.

Now, when Karai(Miwa) gets turned into a girl turtle (Foreshadowed by Splinter giving April the weapon meant for his daughter, which were fight fans like Venus was supposed to have) maybe she'll change her name?

lol lol lol lol

*TurtleTitan97* · 06-07-2013, 12:56 PM

It's because she's one of the most least liked characters in TMNT.

*ObiWanFan4life* · 06-07-2013, 12:59 PM

Surprisingly she has a small fan base on DeviantArt, what bothers is their immaturity over the topic calling Peter Laird sexist for Retconning her.

LivingMutagen · 06-07-2013, 01:00 PM

Pardon my French, but she's the worst f***ing character in TMNT history

Teddy · 06-07-2013, 01:11 PM

Because she's super lame and the worst character ever created for TMNT. That should be an option in your poll.

Why no Pluto?

Ditto, to everything

redsai4lex · 06-07-2013, 02:06 PM

So she can have a horrible death scene

The only thing that's possibly sexist is adding a 5th turtle and making her female just for the sake of diversity or whatever nonsense they portray it to be. I mean, that's just condescending to women and girls. Especially when we already have decent female characters like April and Karai.

Can you imagine if they added an orange-skinned turtle to appeal to children from ethnic minorities?

I never liked Venus. She never grew on me. I was only a kid and I can recall the great hostility I felt towards her like I have never felt towards a fictional character.

*snake* · 06-07-2013, 03:30 PM

Venus! I can't believe it! Why hasn't Ciro thought of adding Venus to the show! She could take over Aprils place and get more screen time then the Turtles themselves! Genuis! But they should save her for the Sonic crossover in which She becomes Sonics Girlfriend.

*Powder* · 06-07-2013, 04:27 PM

Miru, stop trolling.

*drgon78* · 06-07-2013, 06:17 PM

She is a horrible character.

*Ninjinister* · 06-07-2013, 06:20 PM

There are no bad characters, only bad writers.

alliance · 06-07-2013, 06:25 PM

wheres the 'because she plain sucks' option??

*Donatello19* · 06-07-2013, 06:40 PM

Even if she was in the new series, what exactly would she do? She basically had no personality in TNM. I feel that now that April is a teenager, there's no need for Venus (there never really was, anyway).

*Shark_Blade* · 06-07-2013, 07:21 PM

Because I don't care for her.
