Do you think the character April is overhype by the franchise?

I'd trade Casey and April for just Karai to be honest. I just find her more interesting.

You should not be the center of the movie. For 2012...half alien or kunoichi, pick one, not both. Or at least save the ninja thing until the alien problem is resolved. Already have the magic mind powers on top of it.

I agree. I don't care what people say, to me it seems like in Nick TMNT, April and Casey both get more story time, screen time and dialogue than Mikey and Raph.
