No, I want her position as the adult big sister of the team maintained. I was just as mad about Aunt May being young and hot in the MCU and Q being a teen prodigy in 007's Skyfall.

It's absolutely about changing the dynamic. But, then again, what is the dynamic? Her age, profession, body type, fighting ability, signature attire, ethnicity, and personality have gone through so many revisions that the most consistent thing about her is that her upper lip is usually depicted in an M shape reminiscent of the McDonald's arch. The character may as well literally be named GIRL because that's all that is consistent about her from one adaptation to the next. They could at least keep her in the same relative age group.

Also TC:

Lara got a reduction.
Samus got a reduction.
Tifa got a reduction.
There is a pattern here.
You can say I'm a loser, but you can't deny what is happening. It's not a conspiracy. It's not internet nerds preemptively being outraged. We said it would happen and it did. We knew it would because it's happened already. Because it's a clear and continuous pattern.
I don't care. I'm a fucking nerd. Whatever.
No, I don't need big breasts on a female character to find her interesting as a character. You don't need profanity and gratuitous bloodshed to have a good time at the movies. But if there's a PG-13 sequel or remake to an R-rated movie, people flip a table because they're being denied something they used to have. It's the same thing here.
If you go to favorite place to eat and find one day that they've stopped serving alcohol, you'd be within your rights to go someplace else even if the food is just as good as it always was.
Even if you don't care about fictional breasts (or real breasts on women playing fictional characters). Even if you're not into women period, it's still a bad thing to remove all buxom women from the media. You are saying that there is a certain type of person who you do not want to be featured in the media and it's through no fault of their own. This is like taking every story which had a Jewish character in it and replacing them with non-Jewish characters. You would be selectively removing a group of people from having any media presence or representation.
It's not just censorship. It's discrimination. How are women with large breasts supposed to feel in real life when they're not good enough to make it into movies? What does it say to them that body types and personality types are treated one and the same and that busty types are the "bimbo" types that we don't want? I suppose they can go out and get reductions if they want to be treated fairly.
Cover Tifa up more. Take away her midriff. Make it so that there's no bounce or jiggle -- just fat dead space. But don't flatten her because women with sizable breasts are somehow bad people according to the censors who think themselves progressive.
It's like there's an Anti-Tit League that gets to dictate who has an appropriate enough body type to achieve representation. And, according to them, women with small wastes and large busts are unworthy.

Fuck!

She gets redesigned every time TMNT is rebooted. She is sometimes a child. And that's what some people get mad about. Because some of us remember her as an adult woman who works as a reporter. Not a little girl

Most likely due to moral guardians thinking she wasn't appropriate for kids.

I actually don't know that part. I am assuming there must be a new design though. The only upcoming TMNT I know is the Last Ronin movie. But she definitely will be an adult ult in that. It's set in the future and her being an adult is part of the story

Mutant mayhem's humans are ugly period, that is the point. The art style is based on middle school doodles, it reminds me of something like Invader Zim. It's what this version of Turtles is going for. It's not the only version of the character, not the definitive one either. Just a version that is all

She does not erase any other version of April O'Neil.

There isn't a new design. TC is still bitching about her design in Mutant Mayhem.

If we want to put on our capitalism hat on the reason they change up April is pretty easy to understand. They want to experiment with changing up the character to try and appeal to young girls of the time. Slapping a pink bandana on a fifth Ninja Turtle didn't work out very well.

Different April O'Neil designs means girls and women have different outfits they can draw inspiration from. It's not like there's anyone else they can mess around with.

It's funny because every other group of cartoon animal people designed to sell toys and merchandise generally have a girl character to fill that role already.

One of the few things I didn't like about Ninja Turtles '12 was the Rat King mind controlling Splinter.

You can mind control Superman. You can mind control Spider-Man. But the moment you start talking about mind controlling Splinter, you should be reassigned to a different project.

Not to mention the in-universe logic shouldn't work anyway. Splinter doesn't have a rat mind.

That isn't what Mutant Mayhem was doing though. All the characters were ugly regardless of gender or species. It was just going for that type of style, of shows like Ren and Stimpy or Invader Zim. At least understand context before saying bullshit like that.

I have to be honest, talking animals aside, Ren & Stimpy is the last show on my mind when I'm watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

The style works for the movie and this take on the characters. As I said in in earlier post its going for a sort of "note book doodle" feel for the designs. They are suppose to be off putting and ugly.

Again this does affect any other version of these characters. The old shows still exist, the old movies still exist, the old and correct comics still exist. This is just one new take on these characters. And it was a good movie.

I haven't seen the film, so I can't really comment on how well the style fits the tone that they're going for.
