She was based on a woman Kevin Eastman once dated who had an ethnically mixed background. In the early comic sometimes she looked black Latina. And Gina Torres is Cuban American. :) Such an April could easily be African American and Latino American in addition to Irish American. As much as I love those comics, their faces looked WEIRD at times. Did the turtles have TMJ during the first few issues? ALSO-is it it me or does April's eyes look more angry than sympathetic? The face is the right "Ooh" shape, but the eyes could be more squinty in my opinion. Oddly enough though, still three good panels. But ultimately their strengths lie in making GLORIOUS New York city scapes.

I was having a hard home life, that's all. Once I'm having a hard time, I start lashing out, even though I wouldn't normally. So I apologize. But really? You don't like the Adam West Batman either? lol

Anyhow, this special mocks the idea of destroying the prime universe, because that would destroy all other realities. Seriously, Shredder's plan in Turtles Forever was not smart.

Also, RETCON! 80's Krang comes from the 2K12 'verse Dimension X.

Finally, this episode mocks the 87 series, but is much more faithful to it. Turtles Forever felt like it was mean-spirited and over-exaggerated the Turtles personalities.

Agreed on Ch'rell's plan, though I'd probably go mad too if I knew the multiverse was literally LITTERED with different versions of my arch-enemies. And as for why Krang was redoing a plan...yeah this was probably him during season 4-onwards, when after several crushing defeats from 4 athletic teenagers his mind went to mush.

Either that or the unstable meta-particles of Earth 1987-2D messed with Sub-Prime's memories to make him THINK he was his cousin...or messed with the time space continuum in such a bizarre way that he BECAME Sub-Prime's cousin in this episode.

Agreed, there were some loving digs in there like how they instinctually knew to save April, and Raph breaking the fourth wall, but that crying scene UGH! Personally I believe that scene was an effect of Ch'rell damaging the space time continuum, or maybe the inconsistency of Earth 1987's meta-particles made their personalities AND voices sound completely different.
