Movie will be available on Digital tomorrow.
So they're making April a fat, ugly, black trans-woman.
Nice.
She was originally based on Eastmans girlfriend who was mixed race.Yeah, I didn't get that either. April with dreadlocks? They should have changed her name to something else or created a new character. April O'Neil is about the whitest sounding name that you can have for a female.

I need to dig up my old comics, I have some signed tmnt original ones. I always thought Melting Pot was the superior comic though.

I prefer the origin story where Splinter is Hamato Yoshi because it gives his character a strong link to their nemesis Shredder/Oroku Saki.And while I liked Splinter and his back story. I don't like how they came up with their ninja origins.
I don't think they were trying to sell us that she was attractive. She is just attractive in Leo's eyes.The only real issue I had with the movie is what they did with April. It's not just that they made her a chunky, average looking chick--it's that they're trying to sell to us that she's attractive. The idea of the character was fine, but come on with the extra stuff.
And the puke gag was just...gross and not fitting--especially if you're trying to sell her as being the object of Leo's affection.
Exactly. I kept thinking how are they going to bring in Shredder, because that is THE TMNT villain.I prefer the origin story where Splinter is Hamato Yoshi because it gives his character a strong link to their nemesis Shredder/Oroku Saki.

Is it true that Splinter is gay now?
No.
In the end, Splinter has a relationship with Scumbag who is female. There was a marketing snafu on Scumbag's individual poster where she was labeled as a he. But the director has since clarified that Scumbag was a female cockroach and that marketing screwed up the poster.

However, I'm not paying the stupid inflated prices of movie tickets...
Bro? Do you even news?

In the promotional posters Splinters' love interest was this:
At least for sometime.
Later, a "furious" Disney exec declared that it was a marketing "mistake".
A mistake...
They skipped the homo aspect right intoSplinter... love interest... that.
I am at a loss for words.
