I have no issue with it. Good to see more diversity in cartoons.

Think the designer nailed what he was going for, which is cool. It's okay for a female heroine to not be conventionally attractive. Plenty of big tits and hourglass figures elsewhere

So, the only thing that pays homage to the iconic look is the yellow sweater? I look forward to reading the rational discourse about this character.

The second point is right, the third is straight up false (he's with a woman), and the first is kinda moot when her race has always changed (this isn't even the second time she was black). Also April is like, the most changed character in the series, her age has changed time and time again, and 2012 even made her a half mutant with psychic powers

Either way, the design is alright, but wow the beta versions are awful

I don't know why people are complaining, finally a realistic character I can relate to. I never ever see white people or attractive black women in real life, that kind of thing only exists in horny male fantasies and it's time to rebel.

April might as well be named Girl.

There's no consistency beyond her being female and a friend of the Turtles. I guess she has an iconic upper lip in all but one of her adaptations. That's as close as it gets though. Her characterization varies as much as her appearance.

She looks black in the comic but iirc the artist modeled her after his wife or something (who was white) and just did a shitty job drawing her lol

She was originally Black/multicultural. The 1987 turned her and Baxter Stockman into White redheads.
