TMNT girls.

Let's face it, the heros always get the girl. Indiana Jones rescues the girl and James Bond has scored a million times, tons of hot babes in formal dresses! I wouldn't mind seeing the turtles get the girl once in a while. I wouldn't mind seeing them get a female turtle purhaps, so long as they can live up to the standards of the other four. I've heard about Sky, Venis and Mona Lisa, would they be appropriate?

the new TMNT series is based on the original comics. There were no extra mutants in the original series. They added mona lisa in the original series. As for Venis, she was in the next mutation. There were indications from the producers of the new TMNT series that will not be too many mutants, except for the turtles.

Yea..definately stick with the four...it'd be kinda hard though to get "A girl" for FOUR turtles...in your examples you had one hero who gets the girl...so to please the four you'd probably new four girls..i think it might be cool if at least one of them found a love interest or something....kinda like Mikey did with Kala the Neutrino back in the old toon...

One of the themes of the TMNT is the fact that they are alone in the world. They won't, and shouldn't "get girls"

Maybe four could get Venis, Mona Lisa and Sky and odd turtle out could get April.

It's more than understandable to me why the TMNT can't pro-create, but I seriously don't think they have to be denied any sort of intimate contact with the opposite sex. Heck, even in the comics they guys had a bond with some interesting women. Raph had Lucindra, Mike had his girl in Image and even Don had that alien chick.

It's an action cartoon. They're supposed to fight, not make out. Besides, girls have cooties.

No, the turtles won't "get girls" at all. At least not in their teen years.

There is a difference between being romatically involved with someone and "bonding" with someone. The turtles have lots of female friends in their adventures. That doesn't mean they're sleeping with any of them.

Now that all non-human species are embraced by Earth civilization in the Mirage storyline, then there is a chance that the turtles will not only "get girls" but also genuinely fit in in society. I think that was a storyarch put in by Pete to add a new dimension to the characters.

It was definetly a bold move from Laird, it really changes pretty much everything in the Turtles lives.

Precisely! That doesn't stop fangirl fan-fiction though...

I really wonder where Volume 4 is going to go now, there are so many loose ends and signs that the times are changing..... who knows?

Hey, I'm a guy, and I write stories where they meet people...
let's be a little even-handed here... (grumbles)

Personally I don't find it as much of a mortal sin as others do to think that one or even all of them could somehow meet someone. On one hand, the fact that they're "alone in the world" adds another dimension but on the other hand I'm a firm believer in the idea that any story possibility has worth as long as it is told WELL. I'm sure Laird could, if he wanted to, set the guys up with some chicks and make it believable and something the fans would possibly even like.

It won't happen, but it could, and I don't see it as a bad thing if it did. It depends how it was handled.

Well since the TMNT aren't outsiders in the society anymore, something like that could be possible. But somehow I doubt Laird would go trough with it.

hmm

Well, it will probably be a while before he tries anything like that... especially since their "father" just died, too. Getting chicks are probably the last thing on their mind right now.

Yeah like I said, I don't think it'll ever happen in Mirage continuity. But I don't think it would "ruin" them if it did happen. It'd just be another story to tell as far as I'm concerned. I think it could be done, and done well, but probably won't be. I don't think it ultimately fits in with Laird's vision. If Eastman were involved still, though, I think the odds could be greater, but hey, we'll never know.

If you remember this was very tragically pointed out in Vol. 1 #28 "Sons of the Silent Age". This is one of the best TMNT issues IMHO.

But hey, maybe Raph wouldn't be so angry if he got laid every once in a while .
