Anyone else worried about the possibility of more Love Interests?
I don't mind if they wanna add romance. That's fine.
But I'm really worried that every girl who gets introduced on this show will become a Love Interest... We already have Donnie and Casey in a Love Triangle with April... Shedder and Splinter fought over Teng Shen.... And Leo's in love with his sister.... Can Irma please be spared of this? And any other girls that get introduced for that matter? |

Well honestly the only way to predict this is to look at Ciro's other shows and see if he had in the past created non love interest female characters.
edit: Base on his other show with Super Robot Monkeys, I would say no so yeah there will probably more love interests and only love interests.

Why do people keep saying that Karai is Leo's sister anyway? It's not like they're related by blood or anything. The turtles aren't even blood relatives of Splinter.
That aside, I'm not worried about the love thing really...unless they bring in a couple of other female characters for Raph and Mikey to crush on, but I feel two out of the four is good enough...if Leo actually does have a crush on Karai, I mean. |

And the show bringing in more girls as love interests for Raph and Mikey is exactly what I'm afraid might happen. I don't them to make more girls just as love interests! Why can't there be girls who are JUST FRIENDS with the guys? Is it so wrong for a boy and a girl being close without hooking up? |

Come on guys, this is Irma we're talking about. Do any of you expect her to not be a love interest? The second I heard her name associated with this show I groaned.
Just come to expect the worst when it comes to this trainwreck of a show. That way if it doesn't happen, you can kind of be happy.

Nor her to them for that matter... (I think she may have liked Donatello a bit but of course she never took it anywhere) Not to mention, Irma seems like almost an entirely different character in this show. She's made 4 appearances in the show so far, and hasn't expressed any interest in boys or dating. Wow. A new record! XD |

Yeah, the original Irma wasn't a "love interest" exactly, but she was a pretty... awkward character to watch as a kid. I really didn't like her because her personality revolved around boys and that's not how girls actually are.
And I do know this Irma is going to be different. But how different still remains to be seen. I'm just bracing for impact.

I don't really mind too much, as long as they don't reduce every female character to being mostly about that.
Poor Leo... he kinda seems to have gotten past or put aside that sort of interest in her though. Might not be blood, but figuring it's most similar to having adopted siblings, minus the paperwork, that's still isn't viewed too well morally speaking. Interspecies issue aside.. |

Why is there romance in a show that's aimed a young boys, anyway?
Isn't the consensus that young boys find romance "icky"?

As for OT Irma's manhunting ways...
 it was more for comedy (I mean she was willing to go out with Rex-1... a robot ) than any type of serious shipping. With Nick Irma, I hope the writers don't make her a big question mark on what to do with her character after she discovers the Turtles, by pigeon-holing her mostly into the shipping thing, just to make her as a "supportive" character for whoever she's interested in. Yet it was a bit hopeful when Irma's and April's friendship was briefly focused in on in "Pizza Face", when Irma became slightly dejecting seeing April runaway after the movies, and not want to be with her.Quote:
 ), but once there's growing and reciprocating affection between a starting teenage couple, that's when young boys will find it "icky" with all of the romantic "love junk". Young boys are going to change the channel or stop watching the show, if the romance becomes increasingly emphasized since young boys are more interested in the action/adventure and comedy of a show.

Well that explains the writing I guess.

I can tell that anybody bothered by off species relationships doesn't watch Star Trek.
Oh boy, you people would be gagging and weeping by episode 4 of the Original Series...

I doubt Irma will be a love interest for either Raph or Mikey, but one never knows when it comes to this show. It doesn't bother me, and we've already seen that the crush is more one-sided on Don's part while April doesn't seem to really show she reciprocates it aside from a few innocent pecks on the cheek.
As for Karai and Leo, he did have a bit of a crush on her when he first met her, but that ended after "Enemy of My Enemy." Now he's more determined to get her to join their side not only because he sees good in her, but also because she's Splinter's daughter and wants her to be with her true father and family. That's the way I see it anyway.

I hope they don't make Irma into a love interest of anyone, or make Karai into a love interest of one of the bad guys should she get mutated. Most of the bad guy mutants are like, in their late twenties to mid forties? That would gross me out hardcore. |

Well yeah, anything that is purely based on romance fails to draw me in as well, even though I really like it as part of a larger plot or secondary genre. When it's the main genre, it bores me because I want to see romance after I start giving a damn about the characters.
