What did you think of the Turtles various love interests?

Not in fanon...but I can so see him being all monk-like. Now if only he'd stop looking at Karai or Lotus or that chick in the Utroms' reality device.

Donnie doesn't strike me as very player-like in the new 'toon, though--his crush on April, though intriguing, is very much doomed, and it was very suspicious that he ran into Jhanna just as April and Casey were becoming official. And Sydney...maybe it was because of a "blown opportunity" thing, but I never saw it. I think Mikey's the ultimate player--he's got a girl in every universe...except the new 'toon. What's up with that?

Lotus? Yes.
Karai? No. There's no love, only sympathy for her stuck-between-good-and-evil life.

Ergh... don't think so. He could have had that geek crush on April, but I don't really think there was any "blown opportunity" with Sydney. He gave his word, he felt she should have kept his promise. Period.

Don is like the icon of asexuality in the TMNT universe to me.

[Rooish]

LOL, yeah, I agree about Don. Although all of them are sort of asexual to me, in some ways. Except, you know, when Mikey actually has sex... that threw me off a bit...

[Sage Ninja]

I was only kidding when I said Don in the New toon is a player. I only get that player vibe because he is some what flirty with April in the New toon. And his flirtations are all very innocent. Also I've noticed that when ever the group encounters a female he is always the one by her side protecting her. So I guess you could say that Don is the most chivilous of the four turtles.

uh... Lotus and Karai...?

oop sorry you are right about that. I forgot about Lotus and Karai. I always like Lotus and Leonardo from the old toon. They just cared so much about each other. Karai and Leo...well I admit there is something there, but whether its affection or mutual respect is any ones call. Since the writters keep most of the character interaction so suble.

I think Mikey's the ultimate player--he's got a girl in every universe...except the new 'toon. What's up with that?

Yeah, you are right. Mikey does seem to get the most crushes on girls in any universe. I think it is because out of all of them he trully wants the normality of human life and be...well normal. As to why he doesn't have a one in the New toon, I've got no idea In this incarnation the writters have played around with the turtles having some sort of infatuation or hinted at a slight interest in the opposite sex, except Mikey. And I don't know why, having Mikey like a girl might let him mature him a little but the writters haven't gone there. So I don't know.

Ha! Sounds like an episode of Maury Povich, eh?

And speaking of those two... I was talking with a coworker today (letting her know the movie was coming out). She's an older woman who didn't keep up with the series, but remembers loving the 1st movie. I let her know about the comics and the cartoons, as well, and I informed her that the turtles were older and that Mike has kids now. She asked with whom and I told her Regenta.

Then she asks the billion dollar question: "So are they married?"

I shook my head no.

And so she promptly called Regenta a slut.



I'm still laughing...

Those weren't hints. It's canon. Don has a crush on April, and it's written that way to show that. Canon, my friends. Canon.

That's weird...someone said that to me a week ago using that exact same wording.

But then again, in the new 'toon, he's obvious he's gone over April. I mean, really gone. I guess that's why I have a soft spot for it--the whole unrequited aspect and all.

Maybe they might've...if it hadn't been all Fast-Forwarded. Then again, "FF" should be more likely to give Mikey a love interest, but it hasn't.

What it is, it's down right adorable. I think it is anyways.

There was this one episode where Donnie was litterally carrying April all over the place. And I thought it was kind of strange that she didn't object either!
