bwrosas · 11-20-2013, 10:43 PM

And here I explain why and how much more could have been with her.

I agree she was very underrated. Being shinobi was a nice addition.

Shes the goto reason people hate Next Mutation but thats unfair. Her character was never overbearing and she was always serious about things.

NM was bad because of the painfully generic writing and was quite stupid at times.

I wouldn't say Venus was underrated, poorly written and terribly handled yes.

The idea of a female mutant turtle is an interesting one, but really it can be done without Venus. One of the things that are frustrating is that Mei Pieh Chi is named after an artwork and. It an actual artist like the rest of the turtles, she is Mary Sue'd to be extremely overpowered and is a Chinese magic-user Shinobi. Now Shinobi is just another word for Ninja, making it a wee bit silly and pathetically low researched.

To be called underrated is for someone or something to be of great quality but poorly accepted by the public.

Venus however is not that, she's poorly written.

Hence she's not underrated. The character was terrible, that is all.

Stop making threads just to pimp your Youtube channel. Nobody cares.

**Jester** · 11-21-2013, 06:41 AM

Creates 5 threads...4 are to pimp a youtube video of some sort. Come on guy...

CowabungaMikey · 11-21-2013, 08:01 AM

Great video, but why don't you make one thread with all your videos? That's more clear imo.

What he said.

*BubblyShell22* · 11-22-2013, 06:34 AM

As others have said, Venus was terribly written and could have never existed at all as far as I'm concerned.

Green Machine · 11-22-2013, 08:02 AM

QUite possibly the worst character in TMNT history. I wish I could have that entire show wiped from my memory.

You interrupt threads to be rude to newcomers as I see.

Venus De Milo is (IMHO) to TMNT, what Zeist is to Highlander. Her unexplained presence raises so many questions, And in general, she was a bad idea to begin with.

Tazi · 11-22-2013, 09:31 AM

underrated ≠ wasted opportunity

DonatelloNinja82 · 12-07-2013, 11:25 PM

I never liked Venus. I don't like TNM either, but Venus is just unnecessary.

RaphAndDonnie · 12-08-2013, 12:36 AM

I wouldn't say Venus is underrated, she was just poorly handled, exacuted and being introduced to a show that was arleady met with a lukewarm response doesn't really help matters.

Ramboraph4life aka Matt · 12-08-2013, 03:02 PM

I've never really understood the Huge Hatred for the character. It's not like she was the one who 'ruined that show', or it's not like "well, if there was No Venus then the show would have been good/great." Everybody was written poorly, not just her.

And I didn't mind certain stuff. Like when a human guy went up to try to hit on her (thinking she was just wearing a costume) and asked: "So, what you got under that shell?" And Her answer: "Mace."

That's an example of a bit of dialogue I enjoyed. Maybe if they incorporated more of that kind of dialogue/banter, it would have worked out better. Instead of just doing the 'I'm from a different culture, so I mix my words up like 'toilet/sewer' and so on'. Plus I thought her costume was probably the best made one on the Next Mutation show.

The character never annoyed me in the vein of, say, Jar Jar Binks in Phantom Menace or such.

*PizzaPower* · 12-08-2013, 06:17 PM

i am probably the only one who kinda likes the next mutation and would have wanted to see a 2nd season, ontop of that I do wish Venus was handled better, but eh.

It's annoying when the newcomers join just to get more views.
