That's kind of already been done with Venus DeMilo in The Next Mutation, plus we've already got Don crushing on April in this show. Do we really need to give each turtle a female character to like?

That’s very true; you have a good point…. I guess I just assumed that if there was a kari that Leo would automatically have to crush on her!!!

But its a new day and a new TMNT!!! I’m going to try to be optimistic….Lol!!!

cool news!

*CyberCubed* · 05-22-2012, 11:14 PM

You know Karai might be Shredder's daughter because Hamato Yoshi has a daughter in this version.

Perhaps they're setting up Splinter/Shredder's children as rivals as well?

*Powder* · 05-23-2012, 01:22 AM

No crushes. Get outta here.

*Candy Kappa* · 05-23-2012, 04:29 AM

LeoXkarai should stay in the crappy fanfic section. Where it belongs.

I'm stoked, but i hope she's more akin to Mirage then the 4Kids version

*BubblyShell22* · 05-23-2012, 08:04 AM

I'm glad Karai will be in this show, though I really don't want her to be Shredder's daughter this time around. I'd like for her to have a different role and for Miwa to be Shredder's daughter instead. But if they do make Karai Shredder's daughter, it would be cool if it was really Miwa and her name was changed. That would be an awesome twist.

As for Leo/Karai, I am a supporter of them, but I don't know if I want to see that in a Nick cartoon. I like how 4Kids sort of handled it because it was more about Leo wanting to trust her and believe that she wasn't a bad person despite being Shredder's daughter.

*pannoni1* · 05-23-2012, 08:09 AM

I'll tell you, this show's voice cast is a bit more high profile then the previous two shows, as I remember Kelly on Hollywood squares and a couple other shows from the late '90s/early '00s.

*Cure* · 05-23-2012, 10:30 AM

Yeah, all the big stars go to Hollywood Squares. Like Bruce Vilanch.

*Jephael* · 05-23-2012, 11:20 AM

Or Charlie Weaver.

BTW, I just found out Kelly Hu was in the movie Surf Ninjas where she played Ernie Reyers Jr.'s love interest. Funky cooincidence, huh?

**Jester** · 05-23-2012, 12:54 PM

Maybe Keno will have a crush on Karai....

If you want odd conicidence than what about Mr. Freeze and Penguin being unlikely twin brothers in Twins? The only combine thing about them is a weather preference.

Back on topic,except for Rob and Phil I am unfamilar with this incoming cast aside from knowing Leo is that guy from American Pie and havae only seen Rob and Phil's work.

So speculation wise,will Karai be Miwa or her high school rival or what?

Unfamiliar with Kelly Hu?? Oh come on!! She was Lady Deathstrike in X-Men 2!

And Kevin Michael Richardson. I mean come on. Everyone should know him by now. And come on. Greg Cipes is friken Beast Boy!! Mae Whitman, if you don't know her work (Katara in Avatar the Last Airbender, Tinker Bell in the Tinker Bell films, the president's daughter in Indipendence Day..yeah that little girl was her...) then you should at least be familiar with her mom (Mona Lisa in Raphael Meets His Match)..

The only member of the cast Im not familiar with is Hoon Lee.

The only ones I have seen the work of is Rob(many things) and Phil(Justice League). The others have not done anything that interest me. So I'm personally not familar. As for Hu, I only saw the Spider-Man films as far as Marvel goes aside from Avengers because its a super hero team. As for April being the spawn of Mona Lisa I found interesting. I do wonder would Nick play on that and have her voice Mona in her comeback from being a oneshot character? Talk about interesting twist for a cult favorite character.

I've never understood the whole "Leo/Karai" 'ship. It never happened in the comics, fans (mainly mentally ill ones) just got behind them because of simularities and the whole "it'd be totally close to Daredevil/Elecktra" vibe. No it f*cking wouldnt.

If Leo is going to be with anyone, it should be the human he hooked up with in the far future glimpsed in "Tales of...", Karai never found peace according to those comics.

Its because of her character that is reflective of Lotus Blossom that preceeded her. The relationship that she and Leo had as fellow warriors and Leo trying to help her reform and turn away from serving evil could make people suggest that idea. While I don't see that I can see why others do. Karai is a character that a lot of us are familar with through the other media opposed to the comics as well which would add to what we know of her and how she was portrayed in the 2003 cartoon and the Lotus Blossom connection driving the idea.

*ZariusTwo* · 05-23-2012, 03:18 PM

Don't give the old toon credit for the 4Kids handling of Leo and Karai.

I am not. I am saying fans may think that unaware that Karai is a completly different character that just happens to have similarities to her that is all. Besides,I like the way she was portrayed in the 2003 cartoon. I just wish it was more of a gradual shift show onscreen between Exodus and Scion of The Shredder.

*Candy Kappa* · 05-23-2012, 04:35 PM

If anything, I hope the chemistry between Karai and Leo will be of a rivaling comradely while being on different sides. Admiring their skills and loyalty to their respective faction, and nothing more

Killer Moth · 05-23-2012, 06:16 PM

One of her first gigs was the 8th Friday the 13th film (yes, the one where he "takes Manhattan"). Hopefully, that may or may not amuse Dr.Spengler. Heh. From there to Lady Deathstrike to Law & Order: SVU to Karai -- the woman is everywhere in my interests/fandoms, but in a good way.

And, no, I never cared for the Leo/Karai ship, but, at least, it made sense in terms of characterization. Why couldn't the Mirage writers have done that, instead of the eventual crack pairing of Leo/Radical, but whatever.
