Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

I see a redhead and I want her painted black.

I approve of this.

She reminds me a bit of Joseph Joestar.

you think she'll get mutated into mona this time?

Shredder rrrrr.... Let me tell you exactly when you lost. It's was when you cut the flask

She's cute and energetic, I approve of this.

I might get back into TMNT if this happens

No matter the time, no matter the place, 80s April cannot be topped.

Ape-brillo Neill.

Wouldn’t that defeat the purpose of April being the turtles main human friend?

Is that what she's set to look like? All I saw before was the cast photograph, with no actual art from the new series.

If she were down for it, I'd top her in a heartbeat.

It speaks leagues with how much black april art has already been made. Here we go again. Based progressives!

As long as she doesn't have an undercut or a fat body then she might turn out okay.

Yes all 2 pictures I've seen. A real avalanche.

I hoping for a black ginger, don't see many of those in media.

Kekeke.
The next thing you're about to say is, "Why the hell did they let Raph be the leader?"-toyuu!

>So, you're the new April?
>I guess so.
>Nice to see they're going black this time around. Never tried dark meat myself.
>I... what?
>Never mind. Okay, first step is for you to take off your clothes.
>Wh-what?!
>Gotta measure your jumpsuit! Let's start with your pants; lemme just get that zipper in my mouth for starters.

What's with the black April thing? They aren't race-bending her in the new series... right?

She's cute enough, I approve of this.
But then again, I'm black, and I've been wanting more cute curly-headed black girls in animation for ages. So there's probably a little bias on my end.

>Implying she wasn't racebended to be a red head.

Maybe they were trying for an Adrienne Barbeau look.

No colors anymore, I want it to turn black.

not with them lips

Both of those pics came after issue 2 3rd print with a full color cover. It was probably the main influence for the cartoon version of April.

Renet has the same lips. That's how Eastman draws lips.

My only issue is if they wanted to team up the tmnt with a black chick, why not create one with her own identity?

Nah nigga those lips aren't nearly the size of those juicy ones I posted.
Because people would still complain that April was replaced with a black.

moree
I want moree

pretty generic looking, desu

Yes, they are and Sup Forumsmblr is fully approving. Typical, niggers can't accomplish anything on their own, so they steal the deeds of a well-liked character and claim "We wuz April n sheet".

No coloreds anymore, I want them to turn black.

Nope. Sup Forums is just sperging out over a voice actor casting.

Because original April is black. The redhead is the one that needs her own identity.

>original April is black

Absolutely untrue. The color printing for the cover of volume 1 has her as white in 84, and in the color print of TMNT #2 where she first appears, she is white. Both of these are years before the tv show. She was always white, and she didn't even have the curly hair in the beginning either. The only color printing where she appears black is in 92, and that was a known and acknowledged artists error. If she's black in the new series that's fine, they can do whatever they want, but she was never "originally black". Laird based parts of her personality off an old mixed girlfriend he had, but not the physical appearance.

"April O'Neil" just doesn't seem like a "black" name.

Reminds me of when Lucy Liu played "Joan Watson".

>the color printing
Into the trash it goes, until you show me who was in charge of the coloring.

Even if she was originally black doesn't mean she should be. So much more people grew up with the 80's 10/10 Red head April.

Don't bother, we're better off without you.

when you need a paragraph of information to explain how someone was secretly always not black, you have a problem with your central idea

>"April O'Neil" just doesn't seem like a "black" name.
Shaquille O'Neal.

>Shaquille
>SHAQUILE

Why are all redheads in media nowadays made black? Are gingers just that uncommon?

Ah well. As long as she still has the character of April, I see no problem.

She wasn't black, a printing error made her skin look darker. They corrected it in future reissues.

Autistic screeching over ancient fan art and voice castings without any confirmation that it'll be reflected in the show because any excuse to scream about niggers means you gotta chimp out to the fullest is better off?
I hope Shredder's black too just to trigger you pansies.

>All black people must have african-sounding first names. It is the only way I will know for sure they are black

...

O'neal.
I assumed the O'neil part was what you took issue with because nobody could be so stupid as to think that every black person is named Shaquan or Rayquaza.
There are Sams and Mikes and Williams too, you know?

Everyone won't shut up about it, VA saying she's proud to VA the first black april and news sites discussing it to hell and back. I can't see them doing this for roots or "indifferent" mixing up April's role. It's just going to be more pandering shlock and gives you a good idea on who's writing and how the humor might even be.

Does "Will Smith" seem like a black name?
How about "Sam Jackson"?
Or "James Jones"?

Doesn't this already defeat the purpose of April being the turtles' main human friend?

"Everyone" so far seems to consist of Sup Forums that freaks out any time any black person does anything other than get arrested or shot.
The VA quote could just means she's the first black woman to voice her. We haven't gotten any actual pictures confirming shit yet, but it's okay to jump a gun if it means you can Sup Forums out.

i see a line of references and i want them to turn black

This is the laziest fucking excuse ever.

>you elaborated too much with articulate info so it's clearly untrue

It's the same shit as having an argument and then after 5 back-and-forths you get "says the autist who has been crying for the past 5 posts" and actually means that as a retort

>printing error made her skin darker
>everything else in the comic was fine though, and we actually have plain white as a color appearing in the comic's backgrounds and more.
Sure

Are you trying to change what the argument was? Sup Forums has been eating this shit up with about 30% or less saying anything under neutral responses. And yes, buzzword site was conveniently left out from your post just to squeeze in "damn Sup Forums hating blacks they just want them dead" with a Sup Forums scapegoat to boot, which was even more retarded.

Presumably he meant artist error as that's what's being said in other posts in this very thread.

>Are you trying to change what the argument was? Sup Forums has been eating this shit up with about 30% or less saying anything under neutral responses.
Yeah, just like how Black Panther threads are full of great discussion.
>And yes, buzzword site was conveniently left out from your post just to squeeze in "damn Sup Forums hating blacks they just want them dead" with a Sup Forums scapegoat to boot, which was even more retarded.
I don't even know what "buzzword site" is. Maybe you should fuck off back there if you care about it so much?

Okay, but where's the porn?

>Yeah, just like how Black Panther threads are full of great discussion.
I don't go into those threads and that's entirely irrelevant to this subject. I've seen many black actor/character hating stuff, but I've seen many appreciating/defending it too.

>I don't even know what "buzzword site" is. Maybe you should fuck off back there if you care about it so much?
Damn can't argue with a newfag,

You got a problem with black Rayquaza? That muthafucka's shiny!

Is there any confirmation that the character will even actually be black? Plenty of black VAs voice non black characters.

This is Barbara Gordon's VA from the Arkham games. She was also Ashley in Mass Effect

>cory in the wig.jpg

Please do not do that.

It's too late. It is done and cannot be unseen.

>Nah nigga those lips aren't nearly the size of those juicy ones I posted
Yeah, her lips are bigger than Aprils

I know what they're doing when they do this, but I think it's self-defeating.

If it succeeds, it'll never escape the idea that it's just riding the coattails of a successful series. If it fails, 'you changed it and now it sucks!'

I get it, starting a new series with a black/trans/really fucking obviously gay/Muslim/whatever character is hard. But if they started pitching new ideas with those characters in them, I think the average fucking viewer would eventually embrace one.

>when an argument is too thorough and provides evidence back its claims it's wrong because the writer was trying too hard

????

I see a black and want her covered in green(mutant turtle jizz that is)

Wish I could TURN BACK TIIIIIME
To the GOOD OLD DAAAAYS

The color reprints are from the 4 Graphic Novels published by First. Colors by Janice Cohen on book 1 and Steve Lavigne by the others 3.

That song sucks ass. Fuck you.

>secretly always not black

It wasn't a secret, she was always obviously not black.

That is some weak bait Sup Forums.

Why always Black or Asian? Where's my Indian April?

Not a secret your head canon she is black in the creators eyes she is white

Because even the turtles, who live in a fucking sewer, wouldn't want to hang out with someone who shits in the street.

What about feather rather than dot?

They're still around?

Stop being racist user. Indians are some of the highest IQ people in the world, and are pretty much the whitest people on earth.

Original April had a horrible 80s perm. We've seen her parents. Not black.

Truly the master race.

"I demand proof she wasnt black!"
"Here's your proof."
"W-well look at you needing proof!"

Fuck off man.

Indeed. If you can stand on your own merits, maybe you should go back to their drawing board.
Sure. Sup Forums. How come everytime a legitimate criticism is brought up, people like you dismiss it as pol-bait? Maybe you're just that insecure that you need to attack dissenters for voicing their disagreement.

MAYBE THEN I'LL STEAL SOME BIKES AND NOT HAVE TO FACE THE FACT
IT'S NOT EASY KEEPING JOBS WHEN ALL YOUR SKIN IS BLACK

She is cute, I like the hair, fros look really good swept to one side like that

>I get it, starting a new series with a black/trans/really fucking obviously gay/Muslim/whatever character is hard. But if they started pitching new ideas with those characters in them, I think the average fucking viewer would eventually embrace one.

Pitching any original property by itself is harder than continuing a well known one.

Pitching any property with a minority is harder than pitching one with a white character.

Put it together and pitching an original property that depends on an unknown non-white person to carry it is about the hardest kind you can make. It occasionally happens, but it's rare that it'll get picked up compared to all the other "safer" ideas out there.

Ideas like putting a non-white character into an existing well known property is a much much much easier sell. Or coming out with an original property starring a white person. Or just continuing the property with the existing white person.

>Put it together and pitching an original property that depends on an unknown non-white person to carry it is about the hardest kind you can make

And if you *do* get someone to fund it, you're going to get a lower budget than most films. A much lower budget on average. Even people who are willing to finance films with non-white characters are hesitant regarding how much money they'll actually put on the line.

Have we even seen any kind of numbers regarding the budget for the Black panther film?

>How come everytime a legitimate criticism is brought up,

You didnt, you are an adept of identity politcs, so you are likely pol or tumblr for believing on this shit.

I wonder if Black Panther can avoid the deadly "it's a black movie so white people won't watch it" phenomena purely because it's a marvel movie.

The best hope is the new Spawn movie. Although since it's being done as a horror movie it probably won't focus too much on Simmons and his origin.

That's a cool character design, I wouldn't mind following some aerobic junkie black chick in the TMNT universe.

But what if she got a fat booty?

There are absolutely no similarities between the two. Dumb Jojofag.

Yea, got a shitload of problems but things are slowly getting better.

Start a Black Panther movie thread right now.
That's your "embracing".
