I think the idea of a female turtle ruins the brother hood of the group. They are meant to be 4 brothers not 4 with a sister. Even if they make her a cool character she will seem out of place. A female turtle just doesn't sit well with me it doesn't mean I don't respect women and that i'm sexist or even that my statement was sexist. I agree, and I am a girl. The heart of TMNT is about brotherhood. You can't have a full brotherhood with a sister in the mix.

Look, I know that Next Mutation was bad, but Venus doesn't even have to be a full part of the team. She could at least be an occasional ally or a one-time character.

Just because a female turtle didn't work in a The Next Mutation doesn't mean it would fail in the new cartoon!

Nickelodeon's writers are a THOUSAND times more competent than Saban's. If anyone can get a female turtle to work, then they will.

And all this claptrap about female turtles not working because it ruins "brotherhood"? That sounds more like an excuse than a good reason to not use Venus.
