Is it because how he hugged and hang out with Rad Brad?

I don't mind Mikey being gay at all.

More like the hearts in his eyes and him nom nom noming the magazine. I know it's a bro kinda thing, and put in for laughs or what-have-you, but the hearts in the eyes kinda overdid it. LOL

If he is (which is likely) the love triangle thing will be new, since as far as i know, none of the turtles have ever had a crush on her before this series, and it could be entertaining. On the other hand, Casey and April have been together in many incarnations, and if it just ends up April choosing Casey, and Donnie gets left out completely, i could see it being kind of boring, since its been done so much.

Im not for April and Donnie, just kinda against April and Casey.

The don't need love interests, they do just fine without them.

I absolutely loathe the term "shipping" (and all unnecessary abbreviations) and I don't think all the turtles should have a female counterpart. I think Raphs counter would be Casey Jones in a platonic way. I do think it would be humorous if maybe Irma had a crush on Mikey and he was just completely oblivious to it, but it's definitely not needed.

Oh, and to add to the list of girlfriends, Mikey had a thing with that Seran(?) princess.

I love this. Every turtle has a human "friend". Donnie, April. Leo, Karai (why 'friend' is in quotes). Raph, Casey. Mikey, Who Knows?

The Irma stuff is fine, just no actual love interests.

That was all well and good for a few decades, but the idea of them being in relationships or having love interests is being entertained more and more as a wider audience's tastes grow and evolve. The hardcore fans may balk at it, but they are just the usual change-loathing minority. There's only so many times you can play the stubborn "sons of the silent age" angle before it ultimately becomes a tedious cliche of the franchise and serves to stagnate it. People want something different now.

I'm no fan of April/Donatello (I much prefer her with Mike) but the notion of those two doesnt phase me and I feel it's drawn in a lot of fresh fans to the franchise as it plays out the 'will they/won't they' dynamics. So yeah, the Turtles do fine with it.

I would like to see Mike and Raph fall for a lady, not the same one mind you, but someone or something female.

Um, they had a crush on April in the first movie. Mikey kisses the TV when he sees April and says, "I'm in love." Leo calls her a fox, and they even tease Raph about her.

I apologize, like I said, as far as I know.
But still an actual love triangle between Donnie April and Casey would be something new.

*Coola Yagami* · 07-19-2013, 09:39 AM

I also see the point if fandoms growing with the fans. Just like we hit the age that we're too old for fluff and want more serious stories. Once we grow out if the 'eww girls are gross' stage we also sit back and wonder if they ever wanna get with someone so they don't die old and alone. They're heroes. They deserve a happy ending. It kinda takes the childish fun of 'I wish I was a ninja turtle' when you factor in 'yeah but you're also gonna be a freak no one lives and will die old and alone.' Or decapitated by a foot ninja. Whichever happens first.

Raph kinda has a friend. His only friend is his pet turtle Spike. But in Season 2 Spike is going to become Slash, But I read will be the good guy version. But I'm sure he will built some sort of bromance with Casey Jones when he arrives.

Yeah im kinda hoping Slash will become a villain, that way Casey will be more of Raphs friend. If hes not, its going to be kinda busy, with 4 turtles, April, Casey and Slash

Hardcore fans, teenager fans, whatever.
This show is still having kids as their target group.
Mainly boys, I believe... Since Don is having such a obvious crush at April, as well as Leo showing interest for Karai, I think we have enough for this show.
That does not mean we do not need any more female characters, just not anything hinting towards a crush.

If anyone could explain to me how incredible necessary this is for the plot I could maybe change my mind... Maybe.

yea, I just want more girls...not love interests...

*NinjaMan* · 07-19-2013, 02:19 PM

None for either of them. As for Casey he looks too crazy to be interested in anyone. But guess we will find out this afternoon at the panel

Raphaeline · 07-23-2013, 04:41 AM

I don't think that all the turtles need a love interest, it would be a bit annoying I guess. I now the public is different than before, but I can't stand anymore all those crazy people screaming that they want Mona Lisa back... I mean, the Raphael from 1987 was soooo different from the angry Raphael we have now, we can't just give him the same stories/girlfriends and stuff.

Who wants to see Raph become naive, in love, lose his temper? I like him the way he is.

So I'm really against a come back for Mona Lisa, or any cheesy romance.

But a one-way love could be interesting, in the way: like Irma stalking one of the turtles (but the turtle would not love her back and be annoyed) it could be funny for example. And you see the turtle scared, or hiding everytime Irma comes up to search for him

something like this would be ok.

Agent 86 · 07-23-2013, 07:21 AM

No love interest for Mikey. He just doesn't seem to have developed an interest in girls (or boys) at this stage. And I'd prefer him to be the one who is confused by the love-struck antics of his other brothers.

Ninjara, Mona Lisa or another sentient, humanoid, female mutant for Raph. I'd be happy with Ninjara because she has a cool design. But, I also wouldn't mind Mona Lisa to harken back to the original cartoon series.

Horridus from Image

I feel like I'm forgetting someone.
