Would Next Mutation have been better received if there simply was no Venus? - Page 2

I agree with pretty much everyone in that Venus was not the cause for the general hatred for this show, but I don't think she helped the franchise at all either. Not only am I against including another member into the Turtles (any sex, not just a female), but I found Venus to be really annoying when she would constantly screw up simple phrases and sayings. It just came off as poorly written humor to me (like pretty much 98% of the humor in the show).

The core Turtles were portrayed as clowns while Venus was being shown as the only one who was serious which should have been Leo's job.

I only saw one episode but yeah, that's definitely the impression I got. It's a typical mistake when adding female characters. They're made to be more mature than the other characters and just end up annoying the audience.

To clarify, I'm not against the idea of a female character; but I think any new character would just end up creating an imbalance.
