God why would we want to see the turtles having relationships with humans in the show? It's really just not needed.

No one is saying they should be romantic. But, they should be good friends. Besides, the acolytes have a lot of story that needs to be told.

Not to mention, Leo has a complex relationship with Karai that's not romantic of course and shouldn't be. Why shouldn't Raph have a relationship (that's not romantic) with Joy?

*Spitfire* · 03-07-2008, 02:59 PM

Based off Buslady's previous comments I just assumed she meant romantic.

Acolytes very welcome back.

Not sure how they will fit in the with the VR Troopers concept though.

The way this show is, I'd really be surprised if we never see the acolytes again.

Recurring characters is one of the best aspects of this series, IMHO.

and Donatello isn't a real man?

But I agree Don gets to show interest in the gals and team up/have the most interaction with any token female that shows up in the show. So why not let any of the other guys have a shot (in a none romantic way so as not to offend the the people that are squimish about that).

and I know that this is very unlikely but if the bring Joy in as a semi regular character I would like for the show to adapt that issue from the mirage comics where Raphael sneaks off from the other turtles and meats up with a girl fighter and has sparring matches with her with out the other guys knowing. That would be a pretty good dynamic for Raph and joy.

Technically, none of them are real men.

To be honest, I found the human acolytes boring as hell in the Ninja Tribunal arc, especially Tora and Feraghi. Joy and Adam got a bit more personality, but nowhere near enough to make me care. So even if we have them reappear and give them more character and background, I would consider it too little too late.

nice. I just hope this new season isn't completely rediculous.

It wouldn't be too late at all, mainly because there's a lot of potential for those characters.

They fought with the turtles in probably their biggest battle yet. They all survived, together. So naturally, friendships would be formed.

It would be great to have the acolytes on the show again, even if they do not appear together.

My problem was that we were supposed to care when the human acolytes supposedly kicked the bucket, but at that point they had so little personality, it didn't have any effect on me. Heck, it hardly affected the turtles. So giving them character development later doesn't change the fact for me that their death scenes where incredibly hollow to me. That's what I meant that it's too little, too late.

Oh come on... I cared. I was bawling when Joy went "Raphael! Avenge me!" Gah! That was major sad....One moment they were flirting and next BAM! she's killed!

As for it not effecting the turtles? I'd say the deaths did. Raphael avenged Joy "That was for you, Joy" and Don built that Taxi in memory of Adam (who's brother drove taxi's in Miami).

The Big Bad · 03-13-2008, 07:23 AM

By the way, you guys? It's "Joi", not "Joy". The official spellings for the acolytes are "Joi", "Faraji", "Tora", and "Adam", as seen in 4Kids' TMNT Blog.

It's been shown in comics, and in the old toon, hinted at in the movies. Don's crushed on girls how many times so far? What's bad if Raph liked a girl, even if she'd be a really good friend, a spar partner even?

Ahhh you guys I'm playing! That's why I added silly smilies to my post!

The deaths did feel a little hollow but there were bits to show the guys cared. They formed bonds of friendship, all of them did, I'd think they'd at least shed tears for the fallen when they had a moment.

Im spelling the name Joy. I don't care what some 4Kids blog says. Till I see how to spell her name on the official site it's Joy. Joi is just the French spelling of the name. I suppose it fits since her surname is Reneau but still. I prefer the Joy spelling. *shrugs* Interesting tho that she has a French name. All that's known about her is that she has an aunt who lives in Japan.

Interesting note: Joy's aunt is from Kumamoto, Japan. Which was home to Miyamoto Musashi, the inspiration for Miyamoto Usagi (aka Usagi Yojimbo)!

*Revan* · 03-13-2008, 10:33 AM

Is that her last name? Reneau? I thought I heard it pronouced two different ways.
Ray-now and Ray-nod.

Fledermaus · 03-13-2008, 11:07 AM

Good God, no.

If 4 kids is that desperate to a magical-generic-asian-technicolor-totemistic strike force, let them do a spinoff series having nothing to do the with the turtles.
