What will happen to April's Dad next? - Page 2

Tarris Vaal · 03-19-2015, 11:25 AM

Actually I'd like to see him stay much as he is, but have some of the other turtles occasionally turn to him for advice. Maybe have him as a kind of surrogate dad/secondary emotional support for Casey or the turtles.

It seems more his role, especially if he's a psychologist by training. Maybe it will be him who they go to for advice when Raph turns (and maybe Raph tries to see him for advice first, but is unable to follow it and turns anyway).

God, imagine if Kirby's mistake is what causes Raph to switch sides? That would be an unexpected way for him to get back at the Turtles without really trying to

Keep in mind, everyone, that we've only seen Kirby's story from the turtles and April's perspective. Before we think he may go bad because he's so secretive, you might want to consider he is like that for April's safety. *shrug* I think we should give him some credit. Yes, he's a dangerous person to know since trouble follows him but keep in mind he's done nothing but help everyone so far.

Maybe so, but if they aren't going to do anything relevant with him and keep mutating him, he may as well be dead.

Source on this please.

It's like what I've said before, he's the writer's personal punching bag. If they ever want to do something with him, it's usually involves him getting into danger for the sake of creating drama for little ol' April. Or it's just done so Splinter doesn't get competition of being her surrogate father. Or sometimes it's both. Hey, they don't care about doing anything meaningful to this character, so why should we care?

*BubblyShell22* · 03-19-2015, 04:00 PM

Which is why I said that if they aren't going to do anything meaningful with him, they should just kill him off.

*miru* · 03-19-2015, 09:51 PM

I guess he will die.

It was a joke...

*BubblyShell22* · 03-21-2015, 04:11 PM

Well, it didn't sound that way, so next time, if you're joking, post the proper smiley face or something.

It was a reference to Jack Kirby and Denny O'Neil.

*BubblyShell22* · 03-22-2015, 03:38 PM

Well, I don't know anything about that, but whatever.

He will end up under Shredder's mind control serum.

Ah yes, have him under mind control... Again! Remember the first time that happened?

*drgon78* · 03-24-2015, 02:21 PM

My vote is for Shredder's mind control serum, I mean he has been mutated twice and kidnapped like multiple times.

I can totally see Kirby being under Shredder's mind control, If they pour some of that chemical into Kirby's drink or food.

However, Hasn't that already happen before? the Kraang had Kirby under some control in the 1st season.

*BubblyShell22* · 03-24-2015, 03:20 PM

Yep, he was under mind control in the finale, so I wouldn't want that to happen again. It wouldn't surprise me if they did that though.

Klunk1234 · 03-24-2015, 08:02 PM

Just leave Kirby alone. I don't want to see another mutant.

What about putting that stuff in the city water supply?

*BubblyShell22* · 03-25-2015, 02:56 PM

Didn't the Kraang attempt that already? I realize Shredder may not know about that, but it wouldn't surprise me if they went that route.

Tarris Vaal · 06-07-2015, 03:22 PM

Sorry for the threadomancy, but figured this was the right place for this...

Watching the rerun of Wrath of Tigerclaw today... I notice Kirby has April's number listed as;

'April O Neil'

Quite... formal....

This has me curious. What father would ever put their daughters full name down on their cell phone contacts list?

Even if he knew multiple Aprils surely his daughter would be listed as 'April' and everyone else would have surnames or nicknames attached? (like Work April for instance?)

Obviously I'm reading too much into this, but it struck me as an odd thing to have when the show has shown repeatedly that everyone else appears as first names or nicknames on the cell phones.

This makes me wonder if Kirby is actually April's real dad. I could understand this odd entry more if it was made by someone who isnt actually that close to April at all - a govt agent posing as her father for example. From someone who IS actually her dad, it just seems weirdly unnatural.
