Most of them aren't too bad, the Turtles have had some really bad designs over the years (read the comics if you don't believe me). I will say that Splinter looks absolutely horrible though.

The simpler, sharper-edged design reminds me of that of the DuckTales reboot.

And since when has April been black?

Because no black women live in New York?

Or

Because no black women want to be journalist?

I dunno about that. One could argue that making April black just for the sake of having a black character would be racist. Why not create a new black character?

George Takei was asked what he thought about them making Sulu gay in the new Star Trek films, and he said he didnt agree with it. He said Roddenberrys vision for the Sulu character was as a straight male, and as an actor George has no qualms playing a heterosexual character. Takei said hed rather theyd have created a new character if they felt the need to include a gay character.

No, because April is white. While her melanin is not an important part of her character's development - it would be like saying Abe Lincoln is black. There's nothing wrong with it, it's entirely neutral, only one is actually true.

No it wouldn't. Abe Lincoln was a real person. April is a fictional person so changing her skin color isn't like that all.

Wasn't Bepop the only black character originally? Pretty racist.

Ackshully her race was not made apparent in the original black and white mirage comics and when other artists took over later in the run she was sometimes depicted as being black.

And yet Hamilton has been played by a Puerto Rican and Thomas Jefferson by a black man =p Why not have Lincoln be black and MLK be white?

What's the phrase again, whitewashed? He was whitewashed for the 80's cartoon. I think since then in any incarnation not based on that cartoon they went with the original comics again.

They actually were adults in later runs of the comic.

Plus as was already mentioned, April could have been black in the source material. The only reason we don't know for sure is the original creators didn't do a colorized version of the comic, only black and white. We do know her hair was originally wavy black as opposed to the straight red hair she had in the cartoon.

Raph is the strongest and most violent and might even be the best fighter, but they'll make some character development to put Leo in charge PROBABLY by the end of the first episode (if they're lazy, first season at best)

Yeah, the qualities that make Raph interesting also making him a poor leader.

So if he stays the leader, either it doesn't make sense, Leo and Don are are somehow worse at leadership, or Raph loses the qualities that make him interesting.

I saw a portion of their livestream and the new directors and producers said they wanted each turtle to have a different look because each turtle is a different species of turtle.

But they are brothers. They are supposed to be the same species.
