Talk:April O'Neil (Rise of the TMNT)/@comment-4215388-20180809044502

I don't really have a problem with her being black as much as I have a problem with how out of place it is. Yes, I realize Baxter Stockman was a white guy in the 80's cartoon when he's supposed to be canonically black. However, they could've made this a completely different character that isn't April. Kind of like what they did in Spider-Man: Homecoming with the character named "MJ." Heck, they replaced Shredder with some weird guy voiced by John Cena, why couldn't they make a new, black female protagonist as well?
