April's job.

~~Jarrah White~~ · 01-24-2004, 03:33 AM

In the Mirage comics/new series April was Baxter Stockman's assistant, but when she learned too much, Baxter sicked his mouser robots on her. In the old series/movies she works for the news media and thus has no ties to Baxter. Which one of her jobs do you prefere? I kinda prefere scientist April over reporter April, I mean c'mon doesn't this girl have a life besides trying to get a story? And anyway, the media never shows you any decent news.

Being a reporter, she was the turtles link to the out side world, she could follow leads that the turtles couldn't that as a reporter doesn't raise the question of "who the snooping red head is." The glory hound was a bit much in the classic cartoon, I think the movie handled April's personalty best, a dedicated journalist who's loyalty to the turtles come before a story.

I liked movie April best. That is what she should have been like in the cartoon, not some story hound. And, yeah, I prefer reporter April, since then she can help the turtles by feeding them news tips. We already have one techno genius in Don, we don't need another in my opinion.

Even though it was annoying at times, I prefer the news reporter April over the lab assistant one.

In my opinion, April (as I have come to know her over the years) just doesn't work for me as a lab assistant. She doesn't even dress the part! Of course, I grew up consuming healthy portions of the old cartoon, so I'm naturally going to have a bias for news reporter April!

I'm gonna go with a couple of other people, and say that movie April was the best. She was a reporter which can come in a lot handier than a former lab assistant, but she wasn't too obssesed with it like she was in the old toon.

*That Matt Guy* · 01-24-2004, 09:38 AM

News reporter.

What are you people? Freakin' idiots? Just joking

I personally like scientist Ape. Donny and her have like, this bond er something now...

*That Matt Guy* · 01-24-2004, 10:14 AM

Like everyone else, I like her portrayel in the first movie the best. I'm not even going to start on how much they ruined her character in the Secret of the Ooze.

Finally, I was begining to think I was the only one who noticed.

*J Legault* · 01-24-2004, 12:48 PM

Stockman's assitant which is used in the new show.

In the past I always seen April as a News lady. But in 2002 I learned he true job. either one of them is fine. Today i'm more connected to the new April which is an Antique shop owner or some other new job that will be in the future episodes.

You'd have to be pretty blind NOT to notice the bond between them now.

Gee...an interspecies relationship...what more could we ask for?

Ooooo, how about some twisted Human/Turtle Hybrid?

What did they do to her is the sequel? I know they changed actresses, but I thought the second April did a fine job with the role.

And the second April was far better looking.

MW8979 · 01-25-2004, 06:45 AM

I'll second that.

It's not the actress or her acting, it was the script for the movie that ruined the character. It was as if the writers just crammed her into the plot. Her role was almost totally pointless, except for letting the TMNT shack up at her apartment in the beginning.

I thought the actress from the first movie was better looking btw.

I though TMNT2 April was cuter... though she didn't look so good in TMNT3. Maybe it was the short hair that messed her up?
