You know, my least favorite April from the list is Archie April. Just found her boring.

Got to be the reporter, it's an iconic character design and she had a spunk and determination to her. Shame the PD movies messed that up.

The whole point was that April as a reporter could figure out what was happening in the news and tell the Turtles about it, she could also keep the Turtles safe as a reporter to stop any other people working there go after them. In return the Turtles let her know of any crime going on so she could be the first to cover it.

Why? Because Splinter teaches her fighting?

No, because by that logic I wouldn't like Nick April or 2007 April. I don't dislike either...but don't favor them either.

Her story and personality were just boring for me. Getting down to it, there's nothing memorable about her for me...crept she learned to fight, started freelancing, and had that Japanese boyfriend with a dragon spirit or something. Just couldn't find her interesting.

Schoolgirl April is barely focused on in Nick, it should just be psychic/telepathic April.

Yeah, that's true. I'd be surprised that there hasn't been any kind of truancy episode, but with the way that show is, it probably didn't cross anyone's mind.

It's obvious the CG limitations really hurt the show in terms of world building especially in the first two seasons. They barely had any people walking around the streets in general and the outside world was always barren. Had the Nick show been an actual cartoon instead of CG, we'd see all of this a lot easier with April in school, people outside, etc.

It's sad we have to little people, but it's because probably much of the outdoor-rooftop action it's set by night.

Reminds me of the 2007 movie which had the same problem.

That shouldn't matter in New York. It's called "the city that never sleeps" for a reason.
