Talk:Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles/@comment-26423071-20180225001709

Just for the record, I stand by my original statement. I want any TMNT story to be an action story, not a "slice of life" story (to quote the real Phelous: "they are not the right vehicle for a non-violent story! They're the NINJA Turtles! NINJA! It's in the title!").

With that being said, this does look pretty bad. I'm all for accepting new incarnations of the franchise, but this has too many things working against it.

Thought I do appreciate seeing an April who isn't Aryan. In the original Mirage comics, it was clear that April had dark skin. Maybe not "full black", but a lot darker than most media depictions of April.
