>long lost sister of the group, that Leonardo conveniently remembers "There was a fifth turtle with us." >but not really, as now all the turtles aren't biological brothers, that way she can be romanced. So she broke an established bit of lore (which hasn't been broken since, until Rise.) >Defeated all four turtles in her first appearance. >efeated the Shredder, for good. >Is essentially the one to save Splinter from the dragons.
I mean I can see why people are on the fense about Jennika.
Somebody asked Eastman about Venus way back when, and the possibility of her showing up in the IDW universe, and he basically said he was okay with the basic idea of having a female turtle, but if they were to it in IDW, they'd do things very differently. I guess Jennika is that. >established character >already long since trained as a ninja >has a pre-existing connection to Casey and Splinter >has noplace else to go now >isn't sure who she is anymore
That's a lot better than "Hi, I'm your new not-sister, let me kick everyone's ass and show you how perfect I am! You all instantly love me! Also ninja magic is a thing, why didn't Splinter teach you that, he sure does suck, huh?"
Adam Lewis
>There are actual people that would defend Venu.
I mean she isn't even that sexy.
Leo Watson
She's better looking than the new turtle. And it's not even close.
Ryan Sanchez
I mean the four turtles themelves aren't even sexy.
Ayden Wood
Jennika doesn't really know how to do sexy. Though I gotta see what happens when they tell Casey Jones his girlfriend's a turtle now.
Isaac Gomez
>On the fence Aside from wanting to paint her shell, people hate her.
Carson Hughes
Thanks Saban...
Nathaniel Gomez
She was a good girl with a sweet heart, she need to go back
Luke Rivera
nah, fuck that "she has also been trained just as much IF NOT MORE" in ninjitsu like the turtles
she should have had a brawler style, being left alone and learned ninja shit later as the story progresses.
AND NOT FUCKING BEAT SHREDDER 123!
Easton Hall
>Implying
Mason Murphy
Casey Jones: Hellllllll No!!! April bring your ass over to Jones you about to get the Goongala!
Elijah Gomez
>Could you put on the red mask tonight.
Thomas Lewis
Venus came from the same shallow Grrl power push as Lola Bunny - better than the boys, and "sexy", but very shallow.
I kinda like what they did with Jennika in contrast. Street kid that fell in with the Foot because they showed her how to be strong and gave her a purpose, then became utterly devoted to Splinter because he gave her purpose AND was kind, and now she's been turned into a mutant but she's not going to be all "you turned me into a monster" because 1 she likes these guys, and 2 it sure beats bleeding to death.
Willing to give it a try
Ryan King
Casey will awkwardly pretend he's okay with it so as not to piss off the guys. But he'll be dead inside
Luis Morris
It was too much. Shifting to Power Rangers style battle, based in the movie universe, but with Shredder alive... and Shredder not the main villain, no he's been replaced by an anthropomorphic dragon pulling a rita repulsa "I'm free, time to conquer Earth!"
And then there's a long lost sister that can do magic and lectures the boys.
She was never going to completely click, but if she'd been a late addition to the cartoon she would have had her fans.
Cooper Rivera
She probably would have gone over better than Carter, at least.
Cameron Rodriguez
Fuck you for reminding me of him. Fucking mutant pineapple.
Cooper Bell
Venus' turtle tits were like training wheels. At this point you shouldn't need breasts to want to fuck the turtle woman.
Sebastian Murphy
I was talking about Jennika, not Venus. Jennika is an established character who's been a foot clan ninja since she was a teenager, and was one of Shredder's elites before his death.
That's terrible, but I lol'ed.
Angel Perez
I don't think she was an Elite. She was an assassin, whick is pretty high ranking, but the elites seem to be their own ill defined thing.
Asher Morris
It's an extremely different situation.
Long Lost Sister =/= Finding a surrogate family
Kinda want her to look up her parents though. Does she care about them at all?
Luis Smith
We don't know what the deal with Jennika's mom is, but her dad was an abusive drunk, and the reason she ran away from home was to get away from him.
Charles Gray
How does that work? Four different clutches of eggs?
Joshua Rodriguez
I think - and I'm guessing at his reasoning - even though the 4 Rise turtles are from different turtle species, the human part of them is from Hamato Yoshi every time. So... half brothers. Kinda.
James Gutierrez
To be fair it was based on movies where the shredder was almost murdered by Jones and killed himself because roid rage made him drop a dock on himself.
He was a step above slipping on a banana peel to the tune of a slide whistle.
Jace Rivera
Aren't all the foot clan assassins? All their training is basically to be an assassin.
Chase Rogers
>to be fair
Next Mutation has Venus use Shinobi Magic on Shredder, bringing "The True Oruki Saki" to the surface of his mind, destroying his "Shredder" personality... and turning him into a homeless person. She did that with magic.
I don't think the turtles being biological brothers or not matters at all, they are family either way, but yeah, the whole "not related, it's cool if we fuck her" thing with Venus was stupid.
Alexander Phillips
You just want the r63 turtles in here
Gabriel Richardson
What’s a good way to put a female turtles in the story then?
Have her become a result of donnie’s experiments?
Christian Butler
Why does it have to be a female turtle? They have plenty of options for female mutants to join them. So you can add a "girl power" character without making them some OC donut steel turtle than fans will hate.
Its possible but, can you really trust any of the current comic-book writers to execute that idea. You're better off with a multiverse. Or a villain creating female tmnt.
Angel Jenkins
>He was a step above slipping on a banana peel to the tune of a slide whistle.
I wanna see this now.
Jaxon Turner
>Donnie creating his own turtle girlfriend' à la Weird Science
only rotmnt donnie would be that crazy and desperate to do that
Maybe Raph will understand as he also has some issues with wanting to bang a different aninal.
William Torres
>To be fair it was based on movies where the shredder was almost murdered by Jones and killed himself because roid rage made him drop a dock on himself.
Before you give the movies too much credit, remember that before he became Super Shredder, he was defeated by Michelangelo waling on a keytar. Movie continuity Shredder had entered goofball mode well before Next Mutation.
Aiden Hughes
>the turtles aren't biological brothers in Rise Actually they are all half-brothers in Rise of The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. All of them are different turtle species, but they were all spliced with a piece of Lou Jitsu (AKA: Master Splinter) during their mutation.
Aaron Gutierrez
The turtle tits are terrifying because the plastrion (front of the shell) can't be removed any more than the back of the shell can. So what's she going to do, lactate inside the shell, where the milk wouldn't be able to get out? That may be someone's fetish, but it's bad design for an animal.
