FortuneCookie 12/20/20 11:53:32 AM #1:	In the original comics, terrapin ally April O'Neal went on to train in ninjistu herself. This was absent from the 80s cartoon and 90s film series, but has been present in most adaptations since then. I feel like the upcoming Seth Rogan reboot will jump the gun by wanting to make April a ninja in the first movie. I don't think there's any way that could work to the film's benefit. Don't get me wrong. It would be just fine if April's running around with a sword in the second film. But the Turtles need to have their time to shine before you take the shine off of them by making April the hero. <cite>FortuneCookie posted [p:948562688] in Will the g...

I didn't think so. *SEXIST.* If April O'Neal is a vigilante before meeting the Ninja Turtles, that could work. That might be a good way of tweaking her first meeting with the Turtles. Instead of being a helpless news reporter rescued from gang members, she's a fighting vigilante who's rescued when her group of vigilantes are hopelessly outnumbered. Hayame Zero posted...
