It doesn't. I'm just genuinely curious as it comes across sometimes as, "Girls are better than boys!" "Nu-uh! Boys are better than girls!" It reminds me of a four-year-old me arguing with my older male cousin over which was better, "She-ra or He-man", which is a bit childish. Maybe if it didn't come across as some kind of important aspect by those who bring it up, I wouldn't question it.

Like I said, for me, I don't care one way or the other. I focus on character, not the gender of said character, so for me, this concept of finding it important to have more male characters or more female characters in a show is foreign to me.

I personally like it when there are girls on the show, because when the Turtles are interacting with them, it's quite entertaining! April, Karai and tea time girl, all three had some very entertaining moments with one if not all of the Turtles. I hope Casey's sister ends up being someone later on, and then I hope to see Mona Lisa, Kala, and maybe even Radical to spice things up! Not all of the time, but maybe 2 episodes a season.

But, you're not coming across as, "WE MUST HAVE FEMALE CHARACTERS!" like some others have.

If they use a female character, "yay". If they don't, "No skin off my nose". I just don't care, but I do agree with the the amusement of seeing the turtles interact with female characters. It is entertaining and amusing. Personally, I'd like to see them interact with kids or as an onrunning gag, always have Leo having to deal with a kid.

*Coola Yagami* · 10-15-2014, 09:53 PM

Honestly, Radical would be an interesting addition and would be the first Mirage character that 4Kids didn't get their hands on.

As for Renet.... she's a time traveler. And an airhead. That's really all there is to her. Not really expecting her to have more to her, except the Mikey crush which I hope is two-sided. Especially since her being a time traveler is the biggest part of her character. And as a time traveler.... she is not gonna be a permament character. She kinda can't be in more than an ep or two without accidentaly turning the show into TMNT Fast Foward II.

I guess for me, I just don't care one way or the other. I'm more into the Turtles themselves than most of the human characters that pop up...'cept tea time girl.

cause I want more girls...I like to see girls represented.

If the show had no girls I don't think I would watch it....It'd feel like something was missing.

*Luckyday* · 10-15-2014, 10:03 PM

I'm curious to see what Kiba will be like when we see her again. Will she still be the well defined character that she was as Karai? God, I hope so.

PangolinFeets · 10-15-2014, 10:04 PM

I forgot how damn cute she is in TiT.

She's so cuuuute!

Also, I like female characters because I enjoy seeing a nice distribution of gender representation and diversity. I also like seeing different races, species, cultures and orientations.

*IndigoErth* · 10-15-2014, 10:06 PM

More girls is always a plus. Do I feel I need more on it? No, not necessarily, and likewise the Turtles are my faves, I've never cared nearly as much for the human characters.

More-so I just love to see the Turtles slowly gaining a list of friends and allies, though it only makes sense that on planet Earth a realistic portion are going to be female.

I do really hope they permanently fill the adult female character void however. Not necessarily present all the time, but there off and on. Good presense for all those motherless(?) teens and another adult for Splinter to interact with for once.

A permanent, sometimes there, gal pal for April would also be nice, one who isn't going to go turn into a robot or get mutated. (Shame she and Karai never got to be actual friends. So far.) If they made Mona Lisa around the same age that could be a fun friendship to see happen.

I have no prob with this either as you're not coming across as, "THERE MUST BE FEMALES IN THE SHOW OR I WON'T WATCH IT!"

That sums up my feelings on it, for the most part.

That's RENET!? She's ADORABLE!!! *_*.....kinda wish the Nick crew made her look like this instead of giving her that horrendous headgear....I mean just why???

She wears something like it in the 2003 series, well, weird headgear anyway.

Probably because they're basing it on her original design in the Mirage comics.

And I don't believe it's THAT bad.

It's so outta style....I don't think it was ever IN style...@TurtleTitan97: yes it is!! 0_0

point is...if you have a chance to redesign a character take out the bad parts first!!

good example IDW's version~

*IndigoErth* · 10-15-2014, 10:26 PM

April: "Girl... what are you even wearing... Come, we go to Old Navy and Hot Topic."

I guess it's just a matter of taste then.

*Luckyday* · 10-15-2014, 10:31 PM

Base on what I had seen, they never take characters straight from the 80's tmnt, and plus this is a children's show so I really doubt that they are going to make her dress something so skimpy.

I liked her headgear in the Mirage Comic...sort of. I don't mind her having headgear, but maybe they could tone it down some. Besides, she's a time traveler. Maybe in "our time" it's out of style, but in her time, it's not.

She'll give her a makeover too.

I bet it's there so she can have a moment where she takes off her helmet all...

That is such a cool look!

Even 2k3 Renet would've been tolerable if she dressed like this.

This is also Ross Campbell, who creates the best female character designs ever in the history of anything and just draws them the best ever ever ever.

I love everything he touches.
