I just found it so odd that there is a female turtle Venus?. Now is she a sister or what?

Something like that. She's a fifth turtle who was mutated, but for some reason ended up with some other guy instead of Splinter.

That was actually something else that annoyed me about the series is they really start to try to down play the whole family aspect of the characters and the guys being brothers because the Turtles want to hook up with Venus and I think they figured that would be awkward if she was their "sister".

Kalel · 02-01-2012, 08:14 PM

I like the idea of Splinter being the turtles adoptive father. And i just saw this image of the Next Mutation...

Im not a fan of the whole doo rag on Donnie T and Leo.

Out of curiosity, did it bug you that they weren't brothers in the OT? I actually always thought they had been until it was pointed out in recent years that they never referred to each other as such. As far as I'm concerned, figurative family is still family.

The Next Mutation made clear early on that the turtles were not blood relatives so they could chat up Venus as much as they wanted to.

Whether the boys treated each other and Venus as siblings depended on the episode.

I feel the same way I've got blood relatives that I don't consider family. But at the same time I have people that are no way blood related that I consider true family.

I've never thought of the turtles as actual brothers but more in the spiritual sense. I find it odd people complain so much about this counting none of the turtles ever try to hook up with venus outside of the pilot when there are some comments of "liking" her, but whatever.

I personally loved the look of the TNM turtles, and the show while it has plenty of flaws is far from awful and has more than a few good ideas.

It didn't bother me because it wasn't as obvious and wasn't pointed out in a conversation in the show.

Kalel · 02-02-2012, 02:13 PM

I always assumed they were blood brothers, even if in every version of TMNT they didnt make it clear.

*gobo* · 02-02-2012, 02:50 PM

Playmates had them born at random pet shops across America. So, I'm guessing that's why.

Falconhood · 02-07-2012, 08:32 PM

watching right now on the Youtube. I have Venus since I found her at a Target new long ago, but didn't know about this show.

Yes, I remember that. Just that the second episode aside it fluctuated whether the turtles treated each other as adoptive brothers or friends like in the OT.

Thinking back the Next Mutation was a huge waste. Obviously it was never going to work as a serious action show but with better designs and a teensy bit more money spent and more care with the writing it could have been entertaining in the way the live action version of The Tick was.

I think the show should have just been a continuation of the movies. Probably would have been better received if there was no Venus and more TMNT villains.

Why didn't they use Rat King or Leatherhead? Its like all their villains were just made up and could have been from any other TV series.

**Jester** · 02-08-2012, 12:05 AM

True. Not sure why the OT had them as "friends" and why it took years to notice. I think the movie was what made me assume they were brothers, no matter how adoptive.

Was Kevin Eastman involved in creating Venus? (I know Peter Laird would have nothing to do with it due to his well documented hatred of her)
