Character Evolution

Do you approve of the way characters change over generations, is there a peak version in the past or do they generally improve with each iteration. I think taking the undies from Superman was a great choice despite contrarians b***hing about it.

    I refuse watching the show because I'm not a TMNT gay but I also have a hard time taking posts like this serious where you compare 4 characters and their basically concept art to a fifth character model which looks like it was actually taken out of the show

    Each iteration of April has been all over the place, to the point that I'm wondering if people can agree on which traits are integral to the character before it's no longer an April
    How old does she have to be? What about race? Hair color? Personality? Does she even have to be 100% human?

      woman, age between teenager and young adult, white and redhead girl, human or mostly human hybrid.
      Her personality should be that of a normal girl so that she feels out of touch with mutant/alien/magical things, but brave enough to take action if required.

      it is not so difficult.

        Not even a young adult, 87 and 2003 place her seemingly in her late 20s-early 30s. I'd argue "teenage April" is a problem itself (though well done in 2012) because it's based entirely on the idea that kids don't like adult characters and negates her role as a maternal/older peer-mentor figure to the turtles, the entire point is that she connects the Turtles more to the world above the sewers, so making her old enough to be more street-wise and emotionally adjusted makes more sense

        tbh I don't see race or hair color being essential. More importantly than those, she should be cute, given how often Casey one of the turtles crushes on her

    Tmnt is a multiverse. That’s not character evolution. All of those versions of April exist simultaneously.

      I agree 87 is iconic, 2003 and 2012 are both decent designs that I don't hate. Everything after that is a dumpster fire.

      April was conceived by Peter Laird as an Asian woman in the early concept stages, but ultimately developed as a white woman in her first appearance. She was named by Kevin Eastman after his then-girlfriend (and future-ex-wife), who was of mixed heritage, but if he had any ideas of April being black or mixed, he never implemented them on the page beyond a perm which she only had for a couple of years. April has been black in occasional comics and cartoons over the years, and for all we know, someday she may be Asian, Hispanic or Indian. But she was originally white in the Mirage comics.

      she was named after a half black woman, but both creators said she was white, and all colored versions of the comics have her white, except one issue really early on where a colorist heard she was based on eastmans girlfriend and made her black.

      I am sure if you asked kevin now he would say April is black but thats just him wanting to appeal the "april was always black crowd"

    The Rebirth and New 52 Earth 2 costumes were pretty good non-undie costumes

    They just somehow chose one of the worst possible designs for the main New 52 costume which poisoned the well.

    I notice 1987's design is the only one that looks like a TV reporter who is expecting to be on the air. 2003 is dressed a bit too loose, and 2012-2023 are dressed far too casual. 1987 looks like a TV reporter, the rest all look like internet bloggers.
