Would the turtles still be as popular if they were females? - Page 6

*IndigoErth* · 07-27-2015, 01:12 PM

I don't buy that a lack of popularly would be due to characters being female, and entirely on the concept and writing and the ability or inability of the creators and writers of it to break the mold or not. There's little reason for female Turtles to be too much different than their existing counterparts unless creatively limited individuals resort to the same old thing and can't develop a concept that even the boys would like.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 07-27-2015, 11:04 PM

See also: MLP. Apparently, female characters CAN appeal to boys.

*Shark_Blade* · 07-27-2015, 11:31 PM

Nah, not action ninja. Even Totally Spies was dull. MLP has no action. I don't even like Charlie's Angels.

It won't work just by switching the gender of the turtles, they need to bring something new to the table. The thought of 4 Venuses is enough to give me a migraine.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 07-27-2015, 11:39 PM

What, you never heard of Kim Possible? Not a ninja, but she was definitely an action character! And there was Buffy, Willow, Cordy, Tara, and the rest of the "Scooby Gang". It CAN work, it just needs a good concept and good writing.

There was a whole Season Finale of MLP where they did some epic LotR type sh*t. There's lots of action on that show. I doubt you've even watched the show, or you'd know how great it is. Or you're just allergic to whimsy. One or the other.

EDIT: High-5 to Tinker for posting the same thing at the same time.

Sorry...just lolling over someone saying Totally Spies was the only one that came to mind....

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 07-28-2015, 12:07 AM

Korra! Absoluely! That's how a femme TMNT show SHOULD be done.

~~Leo656~~ · 07-28-2015, 12:10 AM

I don't watch that show, but I find her hot.

...is my only contribution to any Korra conversation.

She becomes a lesbian at the end of the series. Seriously, you know you're gonna watch it. But make sure you watch Avatar first as its the first series.

I mean, the show wasn't as consistently well-written as Avatar (Not really their fault), but Korra herself was ****ing awesome. Plus, the animation is stellar.

Well, she does bend fire.

I already knew that because you never shut up about it.

Also, I'm your biggest fan, I never miss a Cubed post. You're gonna have a wing in a museum named after you one day.

And my wife isn't interested so I probably won't be seeing it anytime soon. She holds the remote.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 07-28-2015, 12:55 AM

Among other things, or so I've heard, LOL! Nah, if she's into TMNT, she'd probably like Korra, too. I gave it a shot, and LOVED it!

~~Leo656~~ · 07-28-2015, 12:59 AM

Ironically, aside from MLP, she hates shows with female protagonists. Go figure.

Leave it to me to find the One Girl who's a huge misogynist.

Some of my favorite quotes of hers are "Women shouldn't be allowed to f***ing drive," "You can't have a woman be President, they're all c***s," and probably the best of all time, "Why'd they have to start getting jobs and screwing sh*t up for the rest of us? Everything was fine when we were just supposed to vacuum and watch TV all day, then those stupid hippies had to go and ruin it."

No, I'm not sh*tting you.

I thought she liked Xena....

~~Leo656~~ · 07-28-2015, 01:16 AM

That's like the only one!

Maybe that's it, maybe she's just super-attached to that one thing at the expense of all others.

Lol, she sounds like me when I was in high school.

No she doesn't.
She's bi, and without any other evidence to the contrary, it's very easy to assume she always WAS bi.

This sounds a whole lot like me, until I got to college and every guy I met started treating me the same way I used to treat other women.

If the turtles were females, they would probably be something like this.

I prefer Sophie Campbell's rendering of a female turtle:
