Giving black people white features implies that black features isnt attractive aka fat noby noses, big fat lips(enormous) underlip, giving her purple eyecolor(there's only once eyecolor for blacks, BLACK). Straying away from reality like this simply implies that they arent good enough IRL.

You’re clearly sone kind of moron. Real quick, what race is this person?
Black women are really cute, i feel bad for hollywood always depicting them as ugly and fat when they also depict americans as normal and healthy. Either make all americans ugly and fat or make black women prettier.
Not like it hasn't been done before
Hire talented people instead of hacks
>Black women are only pretty without their characteristic Black person lips afro hair and big nose
By this point are those characters even "black" or mixed/latino/mullato? MC from Forspoken or TellTale Walking Dead were also pretty but they aren't the conventional usual Black women either.
Video games can get away with it because the characters are more detailed. Cartoons on the other hand have more simplified art styles, so you can't draw prominent noses or lips or you end up looking uncanny like picrel.
In anime productions it's clearly because Japanese don't find it appealing and it's a directors choice.
In the west it's a skill issue.
Shit many artists don't even know what color the palms or nipples of black people have.
Doing more than the standard texture of hair, nose size or mouth seems to be physically impossible for the most.
It's why so many argue that making characters ugly af is inclusive - they'd have to admit that they lack the skill to draw other ethnicities otherwise.
It's the same with Asian characters.
They get stereotypical hair like hair buns, slightly yellow skin and that's it.

Anime has no intention of making people able to accurately guess the race of a character, only racist people care about race
So that's why there are so many non white-passing anime characters in stories where ethnicity/race or its fantasy-equivalent isn't relevant to the story.

The lead designer who was responsible for the design of April O’Neil in mutant mayhem was white. In fact his name was Woodrow White. Go look up his art. As an artist, his whole style is to make everyone and everything look strange.
But you know what’s really fricking annoying is that the way April looks in the movie actually works for the movie and setting. Is she a beauty queen? No, she’s a character. If she stepped out looking like what you posted, it wouldn’t add anything to her character whatsoever while the look she has now fits with her character and the story of the damn movie that she’s in.

Like I said, subjective. I grew up on heavy metal, which was primarily Europea (and also the inspiration for TMNT to begin with). A lot of the stuff in th that publication looks similar to this film. If my eyes can appreciate multiple art styles in the 80’s, then I don’t see why I can’t right now.

His point is flawed tho. April in this film was designed to fit a specific role in the film and she’s probably the most attractive human in the film. She’s presented in the film to be attractive to Leonardo as well.
Also, gotta point out that one of my favorite French animated films is Lascars. Y’all gonna tell me that they got an American to design all the characters and such in it? I mean, by what that other guy is saying, it’s a grotesque art style in which the majority of people look “ugly”. Especially the blacks. But I personally think the style fits for the setting and narrative and mutant mayhem has that same energy.

If I want to see a animation with decent looking characters, then basically only japan and france does them in a consistent way
They did give her fuller lips. Manga style is generally about removing unnecessary details and focusing on essential ones. It’s not a universal rule as there are mangaka that do very detailed work when it comes to peoples faces
This is unironically true, they make some of the most fricked up caricatures I’ve ever seen. Yet because they use the “right” language they can get away with it. It’s like that one artist that drew a black person and they looked like a fricking horse.

Imagine how out of touch you have to be to think a public statue covered in tags is a sign of a healthy, vibrant neighborhood and not a sign that you need to be driving about 20 miles faster to get the frick out of there.
Shoes on telephone/electrical wires can mean a lot of things. From gang territories markings, to dead gangsters memorials, to kids just throwing shoes up for fun. The common things is that:
One- poorer and older neighborhood have exposed wires were as newer, richer places have their wires buried underground.
Two- poorer placed have getting shoes off wires as a lower priority.
if you get beat up, the winner take your shoes and throws it up the power line. it's to humiliate the loser and warn others of a tough fighter in the neighborhood.
Because this is a fugly fricking movie. Its not April, the entire production is full of lopsided mutants. Those gangly fricking turtles are the most normal looking characters lmfao

paranorman's characters look like they were designed by someone who actually understands character form and how to exaggerate "ugly" features whilst still keeping them charming, recognisable, and fun to look at
mayhem's look like they were designed to be ugly for the sake of being ugly without keeping in mind any sort of character visual appeal, like they were just designed to be unattractive with no deeper thought than that
Some fricking how they made the Humans even uglier. I couldn't find it but there's this news lady and she has this giant lump on one side of her jaw and it looks as gross as it sounds but this chick straight up looks like she got Turner Syndrome and then got put through a Taffy Puller.
>It's an art style. Live with it.
Yeah and part of that is fair criticism, moron.
All of these designs look fantastic but then you get to the humans like
and they're clearly trying too hard to follow an ugly aesthetic that it does feel it's sacrificing the quality of the style itself.

Wokecels just too afraid to objectify any women, let alone Black one. I personally think even the nigress from Invincible is pretty its just her personality that suck.
something something you lost chud something something culture war something something nothing needs to be successful to make money
They can. Hell, there are even shows that are decidedly left-wing that still can make the black characters fairly attractive. This design was from the "ugly is artistic, somehow" camp, who don't just make SJW stuff. Just look at Santa Inc or the Adams Family animated movies... I'd even argue that sometimes that's what the story calls for. I wouldn't have wanted a Frankenweenie movie that wasn't a collection of weird and offputting characters. This April would work fine as a design for an odd neighbor in a Gaiman-Laika movie like Coraline. But you throw a dumbass director like Rogan into the mix and suddenly the character created to be attractive as a contrast to the boys is more ugly than any mutant.
SJW types would complain that looks like a white woman with dark skin, how would a black character with natural features (large lips, nose, etc.) look like?
>SJWs would
It was made by SJWs. You can find a fringe group that would make that complaint, but you find no shortage of pro SJW artists that aren't stupid like that, just like you can find awful artists across the spectrum that like "subverting expectations" or whatever by making awful-looking character designs. They're separate issues.

Allura isn't black
Allura comes from a race with dark and light skinned people. She's space-black, just like a bunch of characters in other shows, like She-Ra. You may as well say the character on the right here isn't white.
SJW types would complain that looks like a white woman with dark skin, how would a black character with natural features (large lips, nose, etc.) look like?
Liberals see beauty as inherently racist and want to erase it from society. That's the only reason they made her black in the first place. There's simply no point in making an attractive black female if it would still conform to western beauty standards.
Brought out the tripcode for this one, didn't you guy
I see you're suffering from this movie being humiliated (the supposed glorious legacy of spider-verse) and are going for the most desperate and manchildish victories.
Meanwhile you clowns can't address my articles where I explain that cartoons are Black Culture. The excoriating reception to this black character is what y'all deserve
BTW here's my better version of spider-verse just as a reminder. This is the most legacy the series has
I think the emphasis for this movie was on the "teenage mutant" part, rather than the "ninja turtle" part. Turtles are gangly teenagers, not all of their voices have dropped even. Everything is weird and mutant looking. The problem is people generally care about the "ninja turtle" part a lot more.
The two designs on left/right look like fricking men. This artist fricking sucks. There are pretty black women in like cartoons and videogames. The artist just sucks at fricking drawing one. Just take notes from nintendo cause nintendo actually knows how to fricking character design.
It isn’t about one or two pictures. It’s a whole portfolio. The end result with April seemed to work for the character, the movie, what she was doing in the movie and so on. She’s supposed to look like someone that wouldn’t be popular in school seeing as her whole motivation is the same as the turtles and literally every other main character in the story. They all want acceptance and have different paths to it.
Like I said. The whole point of the character is that she’s a social outcast. Obviously if she looked like she were the captain of the cheerleading team then that would be a much harder sell thematically speaking.
What I don’t understand is why people are so upset over this design. I watched the movie and her design didn’t bother me at a;l.

That's literally what they did, though. These pretentious clowns are acting like they made something that wasn't just a mediocre, soulless attempt at modernizing a piece of pop culture nostalgia, but that's literally all they did.
That’s not fair. You probably actually watched the movie while most of the people b***hing about the design haven’t and just spam that one early promo pic and the sketches from OP. It’s not about actual conversation but more about being outraged.
Anon, it's more these are the concepts for april. Like from the ground up she will look like shit. Movie isn't much better with the mutiple puke scenes
I think being fat is enough to make people get ass racial over this. That shot right there she looks cute. Like if she actually had a happier life in the context of this movie she'd look perfectly fine. Maybe not some "bombshell" people act 80s april was (ya'll need perspective holy shit) but completely fine. Hell she honestly just looks like 2012 April in the face, just darker skin and with glasses.
So autist is farming for outrage bait and clearly didn't watch the movie. Thanks for the free publicity though! Nice to know terminally online incels will waste an entire weekend spamming about 2d girls.
Yeah I lurk on 4ch. You really got me there anon. I don't make it my life mission to schizo post rampantly about things I hate. Find a fricking hobby you miserable piece of shit.
>lurk
You're obsessively prowling for any TMNT threads and whining about pedos in all of them. Don't pretend you're some detached, irreverent outsider who happened to peek in this one thread and just decided to make a random snide comment.
I'm FINE with the fact that blacks aren't drawn attractively. That's righteous and realistic. I don't want to see fake cringe romanticism. That's honestly just embarrassing and deceptive and a negative on the world. I'm also okay with the idea that entertainment is worse at escapism now, because it means now all you shitty pissants actually have to face reality.
She looks like this. OP is just being a homosexual again.
Yeah this April actually had a cute face. Shame they make each iteration overweight and they don't even give her a feminine weight distribution like fat black women often have irl. Like where are all the Leshawnas? Black women put on weight better than white and asian women.

[...] >Black women are only pretty without their characteristic Black person lips afro hair and big nose
By this point are those characters even "black" or mixed/latino/mullato? MC from Forspoken or TellTale Walking Dead were also pretty but they aren't the conventional usual Black women either.
Does that even matter in the U.S? The bar to be black is quite low for entry anyways, hence why colored was a term in the first place. All you have to have is have curly hair, yellow to dakr brown skin,and lips thicker than your average white, and you're set. I'm black myself and have seen how wide the label is from living places like Lousiana and studying subsaharan African Ethnicities. There's far more diversity in what's considered black because no one wants to associate with us or even with features slightly reminiscent of us, so even "blacks" with significant European get but under the label because African features carry so much stigma in western societies.
They need to work harder. They need to be afraid of children growing up and getting angry at them for not working harder (as I did towards most 90s cartoons)
Had the third-best opening weekend for a turtles movie but came below Bayverse turtles. However, it's budget is significantly lower than those, and it's already 50 million dollars worldwide.
It's worth noting it had a better opening weekend than Puss in Boots the Last Wish and Elemental, both movies that later did well due to good word of mouth
Literally a mid-credits reveal and it's just the previous villain, (this horrendous thing
Some fricking how they made the Humans even uglier. I couldn't find it but there's this news lady and she has this giant lump on one side of her jaw and it looks as gross as it sounds but this chick straight up looks like she got Turner Syndrome and then got put through a Taffy Puller.
) bringing him in for some reason, even though the turtles are already known to the city and attending a public high school.
>SJWs would
It was made by SJWs. You can find a fringe group that would make that complaint, but you find no shortage of pro SJW artists that aren't stupid like that, just like you can find awful artists across the spectrum that like "subverting expectations" or whatever by making awful-looking character designs. They're separate issues.
[...]
Allura comes from a race with dark and light skinned people. She's space-black, just like a bunch of characters in other shows, like She-Ra. You may as well say the character on the right here isn't white.
Allura has blue eyes and white hair. It's like calling piccolo black.
I dont know what You want from me, Ive just seen this shit design today. That type of costume design would be super restrictive for any hero with Electric powers.
The new cope I'm seeing on Twitter is that people who love this design know "real people who like like April" and it's like...okay? Yes fat black women exist, that's not a reveal. Why do you think April should look like that?
They don't have enough braincells to articulate what it is they mean, but think that "THIS IS LIKE A THING I'VE SEEN" is a coherent and meaningful commentary on the twitter drama they've likely spent the last week seething about. I know a dumpy-ass white woman who kinda has browngraded MM April's proportions too. She probably doesn't give a frick about TMNT and gains nothing from a cartoon movie having a character that shares her bodytype, and neither do any fat black women. It's a piece of entertainment media, not a public self-esteem affirming service.
It's not a new cope, twitter users have spend years saying that attractive women are unrealistic (remember "where are her organs?"), you even see trolls on Cinemaphile pretending to be shocked at teenage anime girls having big breasts as if that doesn't happen irl
Thank god I'm not a poltard like you to ever have to actively look for videos of people I hate
If I did I would be actively looking up gore mexican videos or something.
this guy might've gotten SHOAH'd for leaking too much of his power level, but you all know god damn well what he said was both hilarious and grounded in reality.
Why can't black women be drawn pretty?
Unironically, atleast in this case, she is ugly because everyone in the movie is ugly too
>Unironically, atleast in this case, she is ugly because everyone in the movie is ugly too
I don't understand how this pic address the sentence you are quoting.
>I don't understand how this pic address the sentence you are quoting.
You are interacting with delusional schizos. The replies aren't going to make sense. They are xenophobic bigots and mentally unhinged.
Man, she really does look like someone who sewer dives.
Because anything ((they)) touch gets corrupted.
Why post a glitch?
But its a feature!
barely looks any worse than the actual model
Then post the actual model instead
Jews unironically hate black people in ways that would make /misc/ go "Dude what the frick is wrong with you?"
I feel inspired to try hard as frick whenever I play against a Kim only because of how fricking hideous she looks. Her forehead is truly the scariest thing ever rendered on the Resident Evil engine
>fanart is astronomically better than the actual character
Anon pic is not how she look like in game. Also the official 2d art look nice. SF6 3d models in general look awful even Cammie look like a crackhead.
frickin racists giving her white features.. this is just as bad as making her look like a monkey
What are you on about schizo?
Giving black people white features implies that black features isnt attractive aka fat noby noses, big fat lips(enormous) underlip, giving her purple eyecolor(there's only once eyecolor for blacks, BLACK). Straying away from reality like this simply implies that they arent good enough IRL.
Its literally like making a white character with unicorn horns, it's IMPOSSIBLE.
Meds
>simply implies that they arent good enough IRL.
because it's true
I’d still smash.
>Not only would that be sexist, but it would be racist as well! We must draw all black women as ugly as possible to be extra inclusive
Lefties genuinely believe this
Ok chud
How do you draw shit to be pretty?
Anime can do it.
>draw japanese girl
>add dreads
lol
So? It's a cartoon. It's not supposed to be realistic.
>anime girls look Japanese
lmao

absolutely nobody in Japan looks like anime
>japanese girl
Anon, I...
It's like staring at a full moon.
The last one is okay
pinchable cheeks
I mean, Japanese people don’t look like that at all.
She is Med, quite Caucasian aka White.
You know how many different ethnicities lived in the Mediterranean? “White” is Anglo-Saxon. That girl isn’t even remotely white in the drawing.
>“White” is Anglo-Saxon
No, White is White.
>You know how many different ethnicities lived in the Mediterranean?
Yes, but we are talking White.
Japanese / Chinese are White. Turks are white, Morocco/s are White, Syrians are White, but they are obviously not European. Simply Caucasian like most of Europa(Not counting (Jap/Chin here), they are Mongoloid -undoubtly White THOUGH.
Then I guess literally everyone is white.
Now go outside and touch grass my lil Amerimutt.
I mean, you’re the one calling everyone under the sun “white”.
I did not nor do I do.
>Most of Med Is White+Cauc
>Jap/Chin Is White+Not'Cauc
Depends on how much they like the sun.
>Gusa says; Say race Isn't JUST skinlot-deep (prior, 'do not take into consideration)we do all bleed the funny RED.

Yes, not all Asians are White.

Thank you for reading this message.
Who is this image meant to potray?
The amerimutts who look down on other countries telling then they are/aren't white. For example, they say that Argentina is not a "latino" country because they are mostly white, or they say that Italy is a "people of color" country because they have "latino ancestry".
> For example, they say that Argentina is not a "latino" country because they are mostly white,
I’m an American and I’ve yet to hear anyone say anything about Argentina Addie from the fact that a lot of Nazis fled there after WWII instead of being hung.
>I'm american
>nazis fled there
Paperclip operation, that's all I'll say.
I think you mean operation paperclip where we snatched the best Nazi scientists and made them work for freedom for a change.

>Black women are only pretty without their characteristic Black person lips afro hair and big nose
By this point are those characters even "black" or mixed/latino/mullato? MC from Forspoken or TellTale Walking Dead were also pretty but they aren't the conventional usual Black women either.
Video games can get away with it because the characters are more detailed. Cartoons on the other hand have more simplified art styles, so you can't draw prominent noses or lips or you end up looking uncanny like picrel.
I miss her so much.
>Using kids cartoons made by chinks as an example
Lmao
How does something being from Asia and for kids negate the point?
What do you mean?
was hot as frick
I will never understand how you think that cartoons and anime look like real people. I see people here equate no nose, no lips as white features.
This. White ppl are Grays, we are aliens. interdimensional entities
No lips, no butt and no soul are real life white features.
That's disgusting, even without the shit-dipped-in-shea butter smell.
In anime productions it's clearly because Japanese don't find it appealing and it's a directors choice.
In the west it's a skill issue.
Shit many artists don't even know what color the palms or nipples of black people have.
Doing more than the standard texture of hair, nose size or mouth seems to be physically impossible for the most.
It's why so many argue that making characters ugly af is inclusive - they'd have to admit that they lack the skill to draw other ethnicities otherwise.
It's the same with Asian characters.
They get stereotypical hair like hair buns, slightly yellow skin and that's it.
Anime has no intention of making people able to accurately guess the race of a character, only racist people care about race
So that's why there are so many non white-passing anime characters in stories where ethnicity/race or its fantasy-equivalent isn't relevant to the story.
Thanks for letting us know!
>where ethnicity/race or its fantasy-equivalent isn't relevant to the story.
Exactly. Making race irrelevant is what MLK was fighting for
Catgirls =/= Monkeys, frick you.

What are you on about, schizo? I didn't post any catgirls
Cute cat
By having sincerity and soul.
Who is this cutie?
ohdonutsteele from a short porn animation
Crazy I literally fapped to this like a couple of days ago.
Black women are really cute, i feel bad for hollywood always depicting them as ugly and fat when they also depict americans as normal and healthy. Either make all americans ugly and fat or make black women prettier.
The based nips animated this gal as well. I love them.
My god, every time
Not like it hasn't been done before
Hire talented people instead of hacks
It's always a sign that European artists actually worked on your IP when non-white female characters don't look like Jim Crow era cartoons.
Mel is the most attractive black girl we had in years. And it's probably because the french animators convinced riot to not goblinify her.
The lead designer who was responsible for the design of April O’Neil in mutant mayhem was white. In fact his name was Woodrow White. Go look up his art. As an artist, his whole style is to make everyone and everything look strange.
But you know what’s really fricking annoying is that the way April looks in the movie actually works for the movie and setting. Is she a beauty queen? No, she’s a character. If she stepped out looking like what you posted, it wouldn’t add anything to her character whatsoever while the look she has now fits with her character and the story of the damn movie that she’s in.
>Being ugly adds character!
Americans truly are a disease.
Her whole point in the damn movie is that she’s an outcast, you fricking moron. It’s harder to sell that idea if she looks like a supermodel.
>People won't buy a girl being an outcast if she's not ugly and obese, how can you expect them to suspend their disbelief while watching this movie about talking mutant ninja turtles?!
I rescind my previous post, Americans are not a disease, they're a fricking plague.
Then you know what dude. Prove me wrong. Draw a new design of april right now that would have worked better for this movie.
An artstyle that's not horribly disgusting to look at would have been a nice place to start.
Don't you Americans ever get tired of looking at, producing, defending, and being nothing but ugly shit?
Why are you such a disgusting people?
What precisely about April, as portrayed in the film, is horribly disgusting to look at?
Her obese body and dirty clothing and hair.
Obesity is inherently disgusting.
beauty is subjective
Peak American post
Its true tho. For every "ugly" person there at least one person who thinks they're attractive.
Ohhhh say can you seeeee
> An artstyle that's not horribly disgusting to look at would have been a nice place to start.
That’s subjective, anon. Play the ball where it lay. Show us how the master works.
> Don't you Americans ever get tired of looking at, producing, defending, and being nothing but ugly shit?
Like I said, subjective. I grew up on heavy metal, which was primarily Europea (and also the inspiration for TMNT to begin with). A lot of the stuff in th that publication looks similar to this film. If my eyes can appreciate multiple art styles in the 80’s, then I don’t see why I can’t right now.
> Why are you such a disgusting people?
Wasn’t TMNT created by two Americans? Asking for a friend.
>subjective
Correct
>That’s subjective, anon.
For the American mind, yes.
>I grew up on heavy metal
That explains a lot.
I can almost smell the stale cigarettes and old beer cans through my screen.
You are yourself a disgusting person, you immerse yourself in disgusting things and then act surprised that others are not as receptive of said disgusting things as you are.
You are trying to hard to hurt people's feelings. No one cares that you don't want to frick April.
Shoo mutt.
>I don’t smoke or drink, Anon.
Ahh, so you're one of those fat ones instead.
My condolences.
That explains your obsession with the obese.
Post a picture of yourself with a timestamp.
Post a picture of your penis with timestamp.
I’m not on here bragging on my dick.
That's fine, I only post pics for those ballsy enough to post their penis with a timestamp, and I damn sure don't post pictures for cutgays.
Until then, you're not getting anything.
Basically you’re a big fatso pajeet role playing a eurogay that’s outraged over a character design in a movie. Gotcha.
And you have a small, mutilated penis.
If you say so. I’m told my dick tastes good. Shame you’ll never hear someone say that to you.
Yes, I'm sure your fat boyfriend loves the taste of your penis, anon.
Says the guy with the dry virgin dick.
I'm glad you didn't deny it anon, that's big of you.
I'm sure your fat ugly boyfriend has even more great things to say about your mutilated penis.
I don’t deny it because you’re basically just fishing for insults and have done nothing but miss the mark every step of the way.
Oh, are you not cut?
That's quite rare for a mutt, you must be an ACTUAL mutt.
Dude, you keep talking about mutt this and mitt that but it’s blatantly clear that you are an inferior person.
An American trying to call someone else inferior will always be hilarious.
Everything you’ve demonstrated in this thread, shows your inferiority. I don’t know where you’re from but you’re definitely not an elite sample.
Again, coming from an American that doesn't really mean much.
It's like a very fat and ugly child trying to shame me.
I mean, dude, you’re legit acting like a moron. Whether you’re ashamed or not is irrelivent. You should be ashamed and you’re not presenting yourself very well.
Then go ahead and draw a better april design that would have worked for this film. .
> I can almost smell the stale cigarettes and old beer cans through my screen.
I don’t smoke or drink, Anon. Also, have you missed that Heavy Metal is European and inspired ninja turtles?
Because we hate you, that's why. You're very very easy to make into b***hes crying all day every day. It's fun and you can't do shit to stop it.
>Animation industry person be like
Nice pornographic manchild fantasy, but actually spider-verse and other projects exploit my teenage self. Spider-verse mainly does that by being inspired by Homestuck. I can do a lot to wreck your industry and a lot of changes have been happening to you lately because of my actions.
You're just trying to feel like you're in control. Pic very related
This TMNT movie is as hideous as the spirit of across the spider-verse
Would it? the pretty girl who is looked down/up by her looks intead of character is a pretty common meme
It’s common for the pretty one to be underestimated or the target of ire from other girls, but no, I don’t think it’s common for them to be actual social outcasts. She is a complete pariah when she meets the turtles. Literally no friends.
TBF back in the day they solved this by just giving a pretty girl glasses and braces and then just having her take them off at the end of the movie
Take your boomer ass offline.
Yeah and that approach is sorta cliche, kinda lazy and not real. Her goal in this movie is to be accepted. Plus it sends the message that to be accepted, you should just surrender and conform.rather than being accepted due to your merits and capabilities as a person. Why bother? At the end of the day, nobody really likes you, they just like your look and that’s kinda an empty way to live.
Being hot = a wienersleeve so yes, being ugly actually is more human than being a man's dick massager.
>The lead designer who was responsible for the design of April O’Neil in mutant mayhem was white.
NTA but...
White doesn't automatically means you are european. Woodrow White is from USA, California.
That's his point, american artists always draw (and cast, nowadays) black people like ogros, while european artists draw them good looking.
>That's his point, american artists always draw (and cast, nowadays) black people like ogros, while european artists draw them good looking.
His point is flawed tho. April in this film was designed to fit a specific role in the film and she’s probably the most attractive human in the film. She’s presented in the film to be attractive to Leonardo as well.
Also, gotta point out that one of my favorite French animated films is Lascars. Y’all gonna tell me that they got an American to design all the characters and such in it? I mean, by what that other guy is saying, it’s a grotesque art style in which the majority of people look “ugly”. Especially the blacks. But I personally think the style fits for the setting and narrative and mutant mayhem has that same energy.
We aee talking about modern times, nlt about cartoons made 14 years ago.
That said, she only looks good on the movie when only her face is on screen. His body is horrible, she's supposed to be 13 years old but she looks like a 40 yo single mother.
First off, 14 years ago ain’t that long ago. I’ve been on Cinemaphile way longer than that. Also, I think she’s more 16 in the film, not 14 and oI don’t see the “40 year old” thing you keep saying. I’m last 40 and she looks nothing like any 40 year olds. I actually know an Indian girl with a body type similar to hers irl and she’s in her 20’s
>14 years ago aint that long ago
It is if you consider that all the movement of replacing white characters with black people started not much years back.
I say she looks 40 because she is fat, small, and has an adult-looking face. She also wears what a old woman would, not a teenager.
> It is if you consider that all the movement of replacing white characters with black people started not much years back.
Don’t care about your culture war. Pick up a pen and make your own stories. You can make whatever you want. It’s not even hard. That’s what Eastman and Laird did.
> I say she looks 40 because she is fat, small
Fat and small people exist in all age categories.
> has an adult-looking face
She doesn’t look like an adult to me. Certainly not 40.
>She also wears what a old woman would, not a teenager.
the frick? What do teenagers wear in NYC these days? Back when I was a teenager, we used to wear jeans, sneakers, jackets and hats like that. But that was a long time ago. Has a back to the future 2 happened?
>she’s probably the most attractive human in the film.
That's an incredibly low bar. Like being the smartest moron on the short bus.
It was a stylistic choice to make the humans look weird and foreign while the mutant turtles are more appealing. It shows the audience the lense of humanity from the mutants perspective. April isn't grotesque like other humans because she is kind to them.
That's an incredibly generous interpretation of making something ugly on purpose because the art team didn't understand how to apply an exaggerated style properly.
NTA but what he says makes sense. Humans in the film are legit frightening in context. Every time mutants show up, humans freak out and start attacking them immediately.
And yet the whole point of the movie is "we want to live with the humans" and "actually not all humans are bad, Splinter was just being racist"
Yes, you understand the points the movie was making. You aren't completely stupid
> And yet the whole point of the movie is "we want to live with the humans" and "actually not all humans are bad
Yeah, that’s the POINT of the movie. You don’t get to the point by starting out there you build up to it. If you start out at the point already being resolved, then you don’t have a story.
> Splinter was just being racist
Splinter had personal experience that made him believe what he believed. He was suffering from trauma that made him react in that way as a defense mechanism. Super fly was exactly the same but his response was to work to destroy humanity as opposed to hiding in the sewer.
>Yeah, that’s the POINT of the movie.
Which doesn't explain why everyone and everything in this movie needs to look repulsive and misshapen. Do you homosexuals just forget what was said two posts ago?
It’s an art style. Live with it. The other anon just put forward a good underlying meaning but my take is that it’s an art style, having a different style wouldn’t enhance the movie. Making April look like a supermodel wouldn’t enhance the film. Movies are more than pretty colors and shapes moving randomly across a screen. That said, the creators of this film were trying to do something meaningful with a positive message. When was the last time we had a theatrical turtles movie that was trying to be meaningful? Maybe TMNT but for the life of me, I can’t remember what that was about.
You project this idea of inadequacy onto the team because you don't want to examine the media. You want to be outraged and see everything simply at face value. You are superficial and one-dimensional but insist your version of the series out be better because you would make sure everything is aesthetically pleasing.
Don't talk about projection while you project. It's just sad. It's clear they were going for style over substance because they were chasing trends and wanted the movie to stand out alongside Spider-verse and Puss in Boots.
>no you see, everyone looks bad on purpose because the message of the movie is that humans are the real monsters, which is why the true goal is to prove to the monsters that the turtles should live with them because they're good
Lmao
You can scream that this movie is terrible all you want. But it's ultimately over a superficial reason, it isn't pretty enough for you.
So, the plot, the characters, the humor, and character designs, along with the characterization and how those things interact are suddenly off-limits for criticizing a piece of media.
It's an average movie at best, but you act like it's impossible to dislike it for any legitimate reasons.
Artwork is supposed to be pretty and you use the rhetoric of a pedophile.
>>no you see, everyone looks bad on purpose because the message of the movie is that humans are the real monsters, which is why the true goal is to prove to the monsters that the turtles should live with them because they're good
>Lmao
Based on your behavior you not proving this movie wrong at all. Lmao
>you dislike this movie
>that means you're a monster!
They're really not sending their best shills, are they?
Mmmm, ok, did you watch the movie?
he is clearly american, and I don't really fricking understand anons why the majority of angloid cartoons is fricking ugly and designed in an ugly way? It's not even a recent thing. If I want to see a animation with decent looking characters, then basically only japan and france does them in a consistent way
Mel was designed solely by pic related though.
Jesus Christ I almost forgot how absurdly attractive she was.
I dunno, other people seem to manage it just fine.
cool cool, now post the REAL monkey lady
I have a need to breed this b***h.
>a generic anime girl but with braids
Okay
They did give her fuller lips. Manga style is generally about removing unnecessary details and focusing on essential ones. It’s not a universal rule as there are mangaka that do very detailed work when it comes to peoples faces
I remember them, jobbers
Does it really count if you job to the strongest character in the story?
>
Oh she's an afro latina? Thought she was just full out black
Why did that homosexual stop drawing her
>black
not with that nose
Shes mixed
hire Brittany Williams
Because woke/hollywood types are secretly even more racist than us on Cinemaphile
This is unironically true, they make some of the most fricked up caricatures I’ve ever seen. Yet because they use the “right” language they can get away with it. It’s like that one artist that drew a black person and they looked like a fricking horse.
>shoes on telephone wires is just a black ppl neighborhood thing
>they dont see this as racist
whos gonna tell them
Everybody told them. Not only that comic got serious backlash, it also made lefties realize/admit that Miles never had a personality
they really thought the shoes were just a cute little aesthetic thing people did for fun? I love sheltered LA tards.
They also think all graffiti is just free-spirited art culture that all inner-city folx love seeing and is encouraged by everyone but the angry racists who live in city hall.
Imagine how out of touch you have to be to think a public statue covered in tags is a sign of a healthy, vibrant neighborhood and not a sign that you need to be driving about 20 miles faster to get the frick out of there.
So what do the shoes mean?
drug deals
Shoes on telephone/electrical wires can mean a lot of things. From gang territories markings, to dead gangsters memorials, to kids just throwing shoes up for fun. The common things is that:
One- poorer and older neighborhood have exposed wires were as newer, richer places have their wires buried underground.
Two- poorer placed have getting shoes off wires as a lower priority.
if you get beat up, the winner take your shoes and throws it up the power line. it's to humiliate the loser and warn others of a tough fighter in the neighborhood.
Because this is a fugly fricking movie. Its not April, the entire production is full of lopsided mutants. Those gangly fricking turtles are the most normal looking characters lmfao
THIS. Literally fricking everyone is hideous.
That frog looking thing looks like a fricking basedjak wtf
Ewww that isn't pleasing to the eye at all
Am I fricking wrong though??
This can't be a coincidence.
>Billions must shred
that little guy looks... like a gem? I can't explain this feeling...
Those are all mutated abominations tho, April is a normal human. How do the other human characters look?
I was told this film had Spiderverse-esque visuals.
They mean it looks choppy and overlays move around.
Reminds me of ParaNorman
It's only okay for male characters to look like deformed apes. If girls aren't visually appealing to men, men will tantrum.
It's the mans job to be interesting.
It's the womans job to look nice.
The only people that say men aren't supposed to look nice are ugly men
This. Ugly guys are insecure about having to settle for women how looksmatch with them and insist that every woman needs to be a model.
Funny how Anon said 'be interesting' and you automatically assumed that meant 'look ugly'. If that's not insecure then nothing is.
There's a girl in the very image posted, second from the right. Try harder
Except ParaNorman was designed by an artist who actually understands how to make appealing designs.
Paranorman has creepy soul.
This is just ugly for the sake of ugly.
Paranorman has god tier Art direction, which is why """""""""Ugly""""""""" character designs are appealing and don't go full uncanny valley. Basically it makes sense within the aesthetics of the universe in which the story place.
paranorman's characters look like they were designed by someone who actually understands character form and how to exaggerate "ugly" features whilst still keeping them charming, recognisable, and fun to look at
mayhem's look like they were designed to be ugly for the sake of being ugly without keeping in mind any sort of character visual appeal, like they were just designed to be unattractive with no deeper thought than that
Shivering Truth looking ass homies
Well they're not wrong, April really is the prettiest looking human in the movie.
They look like Eltorro64Rus characters, holy shit
WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?
why did they make all the mutants good guys, and only have one punk frog?
Some fricking how they made the Humans even uglier. I couldn't find it but there's this news lady and she has this giant lump on one side of her jaw and it looks as gross as it sounds but this chick straight up looks like she got Turner Syndrome and then got put through a Taffy Puller.
>It's an art style. Live with it.
Yeah and part of that is fair criticism, moron.
All of these designs look fantastic but then you get to the humans like
and they're clearly trying too hard to follow an ugly aesthetic that it does feel it's sacrificing the quality of the style itself.
Meant for
>all these mutants can't wait for the turtles to have to fight them as a team
>lol nope just one car chase and then they are all friends before they can fight again
its so fricking stupid you could have done so much with them but now as their friends your limited, you can't have them do a heel turn after doing a face turn thats just bad writing.
Realistic and grounded
You draw a pretty white girl and make her skin tone slightly brown.
So why can't they do that?
Because they hate pretty women.
You lost.
She is White though..
You'll never be a woman.
You'll never date a Greek women like Casca.
TURD(K)
casca is indian
why didnt he just rape griffith?
>Casca
>Black
>natural straight hair
>has a cute white son with no mutt qualities
Lmao, she's med/arab in berk world.
japan cant stop winning
more like millienial artists dont have the balls to draw hot black women like before
Damn if that was April
Jews.
Wokecels just too afraid to objectify any women, let alone Black one. I personally think even the nigress from Invincible is pretty its just her personality that suck.
I have never seen an attractive one in my life
something something you lost chud something something culture war something something nothing needs to be successful to make money
They can. Hell, there are even shows that are decidedly left-wing that still can make the black characters fairly attractive. This design was from the "ugly is artistic, somehow" camp, who don't just make SJW stuff. Just look at Santa Inc or the Adams Family animated movies... I'd even argue that sometimes that's what the story calls for. I wouldn't have wanted a Frankenweenie movie that wasn't a collection of weird and offputting characters. This April would work fine as a design for an odd neighbor in a Gaiman-Laika movie like Coraline. But you throw a dumbass director like Rogan into the mix and suddenly the character created to be attractive as a contrast to the boys is more ugly than any mutant.
SJW types would complain that looks like a white woman with dark skin, how would a black character with natural features (large lips, nose, etc.) look like?
>SJWs would
It was made by SJWs. You can find a fringe group that would make that complaint, but you find no shortage of pro SJW artists that aren't stupid like that, just like you can find awful artists across the spectrum that like "subverting expectations" or whatever by making awful-looking character designs. They're separate issues.
Allura comes from a race with dark and light skinned people. She's space-black, just like a bunch of characters in other shows, like She-Ra. You may as well say the character on the right here isn't white.
If Milo were black he'd be the new April
Allura isn't black
That's a white woman with a tan.
Race is just skin color unless you want to use nazi arguments
It's a cartoon
Liberals see beauty as inherently racist and want to erase it from society. That's the only reason they made her black in the first place. There's simply no point in making an attractive black female if it would still conform to western beauty standards.
american culture
>Posting Mussolini's propaganda art will definitely help and not turn this even more into a "if you dislike this you're a fascist!" situation
As if the media wouldn't do that for us anyway. Shut the frick up.
that's black fetishization perpetrated by racist whites. Do better.
poopy hehe poopy thread hehe
Brought out the tripcode for this one, didn't you guy
I see you're suffering from this movie being humiliated (the supposed glorious legacy of spider-verse) and are going for the most desperate and manchildish victories.
Meanwhile you clowns can't address my articles where I explain that cartoons are Black Culture. The excoriating reception to this black character is what y'all deserve
BTW here's my better version of spider-verse just as a reminder. This is the most legacy the series has
I think the emphasis for this movie was on the "teenage mutant" part, rather than the "ninja turtle" part. Turtles are gangly teenagers, not all of their voices have dropped even. Everything is weird and mutant looking. The problem is people generally care about the "ninja turtle" part a lot more.
If I had red hair I would legit protest how they’re erasing my people from media
The two designs on left/right look like fricking men. This artist fricking sucks. There are pretty black women in like cartoons and videogames. The artist just sucks at fricking drawing one. Just take notes from nintendo cause nintendo actually knows how to fricking character design.
Should I become a concept artists? I think I can do better than this, seriously.
Unless you can churn out similar style stuff you'd never get hired.
It isn’t about one or two pictures. It’s a whole portfolio. The end result with April seemed to work for the character, the movie, what she was doing in the movie and so on. She’s supposed to look like someone that wouldn’t be popular in school seeing as her whole motivation is the same as the turtles and literally every other main character in the story. They all want acceptance and have different paths to it.
She looks like some creature that would've realistically been killed on sight thoughsoalgether. she looks like a dwarf-like dumpster diving mogst
Like I said. The whole point of the character is that she’s a social outcast. Obviously if she looked like she were the captain of the cheerleading team then that would be a much harder sell thematically speaking.
What I don’t understand is why people are so upset over this design. I watched the movie and her design didn’t bother me at a;l.
So...they pretty much ignored april's personality, and social role, shallow as it was, and used what should have been Irma instead...
>What I don’t understand is why people are so upset over this design.
There's enough threads that if you listen I think you'd get it.
oh MOVIE IS PRETTY CRAPPY.
Relatable and grounded, guys, relatable and grounded
I legit never seen this type of body ever
Okay wtf, she doesnt look wonky here either.
>I legit never seen this type of body ever
You don't live in the south
she looks 13% feminine here wtf that isn't allowed
>I legit never seen this type of body ever
You've never been at a Walmart or Family Dollar?
The pronounced camel toe caught me offguard
she looks like someone who learned to draw with klasky csupo but also has better taste
she actually looks like me and I hate this
I would rape you.
why would you do that to yourself?
High fructose diet.
I see it all the time, though I live near the ghetto for cheap rent.
>when ya style develops 😀
ED EDD & EDDY!!!!!!
from all the gross transformations she ever had this one looks the worst, even the mutant insect was better looking
two dorky dudes and one ugly art hoe.
I kinda want people to do "fanart" of other mainstream characters in this grotesque "concept art style" as a shitpost/meme
safe to say we got lucky (even if we can’t not frick her’
now for the other question: is ayo edebiri gonna dress up as her april like kat graham did
Nah. It will be Debra Wilson.
Damn I miss Rise.
This April was such so much better than the shit they made now, I don't understand the outrage for her, when she is a fine black woman and not THAT
>This April was such so much better than the shit they made now, I don't understand the outrage for her
All the same shit
Rise April's dark skin and square manly jaw brought us here.
The next incarnation of April O'Neil will look like Cobra Bubbles.
To think it could've been worse than what we got.
Give the lot a 3/10 instead of some 1/10 and they(Anons) will scream in joy for that 5/10 goblin. BRAVO Cinemaphile!NEL
On a scale of 1-5, how ugly do you think Karai is going to be?
The character designer said "I changed April a bit but made sure to keep everything that made her so iconic"
he seems thin skinned
Normies accentuate the positive and don't farm engagement from riffraff mad about cartoons.
What’s thin-skinned about liking people that like ones work?
>while keeping some of the details that make her so iconic
This guy is a fricking moron if the best he could do was "a single piece of yellow clothing" and "reddish hair"
His expressions are also fricking bad.
He should love something else
Well she used yellow in some of the design, and then she... if you look at... there is this...
Do you actually think he actually meant that or just said what the execs wanted him to say?
You act like people do shit just to kill you/attack you. These people are just slaves to the exec rule, morons.
>Ugly obese black April O'Neil
>Ugly homosexual Splinter who is fricking a male bug
They saw peple complainign about Black April and ugly Splinter in Rise of TMNT and they doubled down on it
Yikes
That's a whole lot of words to say they had a lot of stupid fricking ideas, based on their warped, out-of-touch ideology, believing they could make a toy commercial movie that somehow wasn't aimed at the target demo (lol guess no one told the toy manufacturers that).
>relatable personalities that went beyond "the leader, the hothead, the party dude & the nerd"
That's literally what they did, though. These pretentious clowns are acting like they made something that wasn't just a mediocre, soulless attempt at modernizing a piece of pop culture nostalgia, but that's literally all they did.
pretentious frick. Its a show about mutant teenagers fighting bad guys
One too many pizzas
Nothing about this design is the iconic April O Neill.
So iconic
She looks like this. OP is just being a homosexual again.
Unironically would.
That’s not fair. You probably actually watched the movie while most of the people b***hing about the design haven’t and just spam that one early promo pic and the sketches from OP. It’s not about actual conversation but more about being outraged.
Anon, it's more these are the concepts for april. Like from the ground up she will look like shit. Movie isn't much better with the mutiple puke scenes
I think being fat is enough to make people get ass racial over this. That shot right there she looks cute. Like if she actually had a happier life in the context of this movie she'd look perfectly fine. Maybe not some "bombshell" people act 80s april was (ya'll need perspective holy shit) but completely fine. Hell she honestly just looks like 2012 April in the face, just darker skin and with glasses.
At least post her full morbidly obese body, like this
Lmao
So autist is farming for outrage bait and clearly didn't watch the movie. Thanks for the free publicity though! Nice to know terminally online incels will waste an entire weekend spamming about 2d girls.
And yet, here you are, likely reading every post in the thread.
Yeah I lurk on 4ch. You really got me there anon. I don't make it my life mission to schizo post rampantly about things I hate. Find a fricking hobby you miserable piece of shit.
>lurk
You're obsessively prowling for any TMNT threads and whining about pedos in all of them. Don't pretend you're some detached, irreverent outsider who happened to peek in this one thread and just decided to make a random snide comment.
We all aren't obsessed with posting about negativity like you are. But unlike you I have shit to do, so have fun screaming into the void homosexual.
>I'm not obsessed like you
>I just need to get the last word in!
See you in a little while, pedo-anon.
How old is she supposed to be? Every image I've seen would have me guess 40 but I've also read that Leo asks her to the prom at the end of the movie
She’s like 16 and comes off 16 in the movie when you actually watch it.
>itt Cinemaphile gets horribly upset about a movie they didn't watch
Can you homosexuals stop obsessing over wieners for 3 minutes?
I'm FINE with the fact that blacks aren't drawn attractively. That's righteous and realistic. I don't want to see fake cringe romanticism. That's honestly just embarrassing and deceptive and a negative on the world. I'm also okay with the idea that entertainment is worse at escapism now, because it means now all you shitty pissants actually have to face reality.
Most likely, the artists may be stuck in some sort of catch -22
Already got you.

Yeah this April actually had a cute face. Shame they make each iteration overweight and they don't even give her a feminine weight distribution like fat black women often have irl. Like where are all the Leshawnas? Black women put on weight better than white and asian women.
Does that even matter in the U.S? The bar to be black is quite low for entry anyways, hence why colored was a term in the first place. All you have to have is have curly hair, yellow to dakr brown skin,and lips thicker than your average white, and you're set. I'm black myself and have seen how wide the label is from living places like Lousiana and studying subsaharan African Ethnicities. There's far more diversity in what's considered black because no one wants to associate with us or even with features slightly reminiscent of us, so even "blacks" with significant European get but under the label because African features carry so much stigma in western societies.
White American is just Slav mixed with Anglos
OINKED
>black Girl and her effeminate twin brothers
Hey guys, look on the bright side!
They need to work harder. They need to be afraid of children growing up and getting angry at them for not working harder (as I did towards most 90s cartoons)
Wasn't the character designer for that Arcane chick an american? He worked for Spiderverse too and did Hobbie Brown
Soulless soulless soulless soulless
Had the third-best opening weekend for a turtles movie but came below Bayverse turtles. However, it's budget is significantly lower than those, and it's already 50 million dollars worldwide.
I don't think it's actually released internationally yet.
It's worth noting it had a better opening weekend than Puss in Boots the Last Wish and Elemental, both movies that later did well due to good word of mouth
No difference than any cartoon mammy drawn in the past. I though you would happy about this Cinemaphile?
That image shows things always could have been worse
Surely they won't make Shredder look like an ugly abomination...
Is Shredder just one of those "teased at the end" villains?
Literally a mid-credits reveal and it's just the previous villain, (this horrendous thing
) bringing him in for some reason, even though the turtles are already known to the city and attending a public high school.
She looks like a sea anemone
GINGER is an anagram of what?
you're gonna have to start saying ginger instead if jannies keep banning people for it
I already do both. giNger.
>Josie McCoy
Are you serious? They already have a black member.
>when you hire a guy who's both gay and racist to design your character
April O n
Looks better, but still ugly
Legs are too long, but it's a minor improvement at least.
what's this supposed to demonstrate? she's still an ugly Black person
The power of proper eating?
Allura has blue eyes and white hair. It's like calling piccolo black.
Girls are no longer allowed to be pretty in most cartoons
They're not allowed to show too much skin nowadays either
Even if it is in a gory cartoon aimed at adults
Lmao, not only they removed her boobs and covered all her skin but they also took away her muscles
More like war man
No fricking way!? The MCU Space Solider Outfit designs really did frick a lot of shit up.
Anon stop pretending because there is no Goddamn way you didn't know about the new Livewire design. I hate you so much.
>2023
I dont know what You want from me, Ive just seen this shit design today. That type of costume design would be super restrictive for any hero with Electric powers.
The new cope I'm seeing on Twitter is that people who love this design know "real people who like like April" and it's like...okay? Yes fat black women exist, that's not a reveal. Why do you think April should look like that?
Why are you looking at Twitter
Didn't you get the memo? Twitter is the center of society now.
They don't have enough braincells to articulate what it is they mean, but think that "THIS IS LIKE A THING I'VE SEEN" is a coherent and meaningful commentary on the twitter drama they've likely spent the last week seething about. I know a dumpy-ass white woman who kinda has browngraded MM April's proportions too. She probably doesn't give a frick about TMNT and gains nothing from a cartoon movie having a character that shares her bodytype, and neither do any fat black women. It's a piece of entertainment media, not a public self-esteem affirming service.
Given how often they throw around "not everything needs to be about you!" they sure don't feel any shame saying they needed April to be about them.
It's not a new cope, twitter users have spend years saying that attractive women are unrealistic (remember "where are her organs?"), you even see trolls on Cinemaphile pretending to be shocked at teenage anime girls having big breasts as if that doesn't happen irl
Thank god I'm not a poltard like you to ever have to actively look for videos of people I hate
If I did I would be actively looking up gore mexican videos or something.
>my sons... i have trained you in the art of ninjewtsu
ohohoho fricking KILL myself man
Share thread so I can laugh.
It's a webm that people post sometimes, I don't have it saved though.
That's some really ugly fanart.
Why does Hollywood love to race-swap redheads so much? Gingers need representation too.
this guy might've gotten SHOAH'd for leaking too much of his power level, but you all know god damn well what he said was both hilarious and grounded in reality.
>Life with Loopy rejectees
This shit looks exactly like Klaspy Cupso studios. Those people that did As told by Ginger and The Wild Hillberrys
