>Alright Yea Forums how would you do a Female Turtle being part of the main TMNT group itself?
You don't try to add a fifth character to the main group of four. Male, female, human or animal, you don't even try.

Turtles don’t really look male or female by human standards.
The fact she doesn’t have a “boob plate” is understandable.

But no one can tell she’s female either. Might as well say the name’s Botticelli and just be another one of the guys.

At least add some curves or something.

>The fact that she's desexualized is the best part

You do know that artists simply will draw her Off Model, right? No different from modern female characters in western media. In the long term it's IDW who will suffer loses.

>only people who like this character don't actually read or support the comic

GET WOKE, GO BROKE

I can't wait for the day IDW is finally dead.

>hire transgender artist to write and draw TMNT
>They create transgender 5th Turtle character based on an old DeviantArt OC they created a long time ago

Bravo, IDW. Clap Clap Clap.

Jennika is a woman.....just a very ugly mannish one. Still letting a stupid tranny like Campbell literally take the reins in writing in doing a historically BAD concept that fans have hated since Venus the 5th Turtle?.......yeah I think Campbell is going to be the hack who will get this comic cancelled. Let us not forget that Campbell's writing ideas are all bad.

What about when Sentai does it?

Literally the way they did it.

Create a bunch of new characters outside of the April-Casey squad.

Pick one of them that feels like she would have a good dynamic with the core team.

Flip off the incels that shit their pants over it. Not like they were ever going to buy the damn book anyway. 99.999% of the retards foaming at the mouth about this don't even know the character's been around in human form since 2015.

People in favor of Jennika don't buy the book.

>Not like they were ever going to buy the damn book anyway

People haven't been buying IDW TMNT before all this shit was announced. Sales for IDW TMNT have gone way down as soon as Splinter killed Shredder. I doubt forcing a character no one cares about and promoting her to main character status is going to improve sales. The actual buyers are already turned off and this idea IDW is forcing is only going to turn customers off even further.

>People in favor of Jennika don't buy the book.

Sort of like how all the people who cheered when Bendis made Iceman gay never actually bought the gay Iceman ongoing and it got cancelled. The people who support this shit never actually buy it, they just make a lot of noise online.

Like I said, she's been part of the book since 2015. People "in favor of Jennika" have been buying it for years.

And I've gotta say, the best part of this shit is the way people act like it's a huge change. Please, the boys and their rat-daddy have had an ever-expanding "family" since they first ran into Dr. Stockman's smart-as-a-whip intern as she was being chased by Mousers. April, Casey, Ninjara, Alopex, Nobody, this is just the latest in a long-ass line of characters that have been elevated to being "family." Only difference is that they've made this character a turtle. Frankly, Raph and his girlfriend living in sin was way more of a change to the group dynamic, and nobody batted an eye.

>I love this, thanks for pandering to me. by the way I will NEVER support your work. Please desperately pander to me again soon
It should be a joke but it just keeps happening.

>You don't try to add a fifth character to the main group of four. Male, female, human or animal, you don't even try.

fucking this

That would imply there are people out there who give a shit about Jennika in the first place.
No one gives a shit about her. No one's buying the book for her.
Turning her into a turtle isn't going to magically make everyone love Waltz's pet character.

It was almost heartbreaking when it happened to Gail Simone and she realized that she had more in common with the disgusting neckbeards who bought her books just to complain about them. At least they cared enough to read her work.

I wouldn't make her look just like the turtles. they're ugly as fuck.

Attached: 1541887065647.png (800x669, 840K)

Nobody is going to quit the book for her either, no more than normal market flux.

Splinter taking over the Foot Clan was a bigger deal than this. Shredder being Krang's enemy instead of his friend was a bigger deal than this. Shit, the guys being REINCARNATED FEUDAL JAPAN WARRIORS? That was a big deal.

This? Once again the boys have gone "sure you can join us, bed's over there if you need one" to a friend. This one happens to be a Foot Clan soldier turned into a turtle.

Basically copy the Gargamel/Smurfette origin...

>Shredder makes a female turtle to create unrest between the Turtles
>Once this is discovered and Shredders plan ruined, Splinter makes her part of the team
>After a few adventures she leaves the team to go on a journey to find her own purpose... she still returns for occasional on-off appearances

>I'll create a girl turtle and foil them when they get confused over there being a girl!

No Shredder since 1986 would come up with a plan that stupid.

>Like I said, she's been part of the book since 2015. People "in favor of Jennika" have been buying it for years.
I bought the book for Slash.

Live

Make leo a girl

That would piss many people off. People already hate Leo not being leader in the new cartoon. Doing this? I can see the parents banning their sons watching this.

>The only rule here is that she HAS to be a turtle who gets mutated.

But that's literally the worst way to do it. A human mutated into a turtle can work, because you can say the human already mastered ninjutsu. If you mutate a turtle, you either have to make them a genius that can master martial arts stupidly fast, or you have to pull a fucking Venus and say they were off training for years and only just appeared.

IDW didn't pull this off perfectly, but the broad strokes are about right for introducing any new mutant ninja turtle. Create a ninja character that's human, keep them around for a while, then mutate them when it'd make for a good story.

Or have the mutant turtle learn martial arts from the different factions that do mutants like Null's group or Foot Clan or hell use the Sabate before they get destroyed. The point is learning martial arts is no big deal in this franchise. Even a lame character like April can learn like in 2003.

>Acting like 2003 April learning wasn't a low point

C'mon dude. We're talking about doing it well.

The Null mutants don't have good martial arts skills, just raw strength. Man Ray is a cage fighter with gun skills, but that doesn't make him a ninja, able to infiltrate, vanish, and all that shit the boys are expected to do. Slash is awesome, but he's no ninja, he's ridiculously strong, fast, and tough.

You want a ninja, and you want them prominent, you say they've been training for years.

>C'mon dude. We're talking about doing it well.

The real come on dude is we're talking about a franchise that always goes to shit whenever Shredder dies (in some cases goes to shit during Northhampton, time travel, or outer space arcs).

Exactly

...He died in the first issue of the original Mirage series. The book was 'salright for a bit after that. And IDW's been a mixed bag post-Shredder, but with way more good than I expected.

Shit, Rise is making me REALLY appreciate it.

Im not keen on the entire Universe side or the pantheon. I like the Rat King and Kitsune but its still a little out there to me.

Even tho TMNT has like everything in it.

>Sophie Campbell
Remember She also redesign Pimiko for her fan comic. But it's just another bad redesign.

Campbell is not a good artist. He's only good for drawing Alopex. For everything else? He's awful. But even worse? His writing skills.

so turtles can fertilize her eggs?
Some species can put 30-100 egs, multiply that with 4 brothers for genetic variety....

Wouldn't Casey be ANGRY? This isn't some mutated turtle female. This is Casey's human girlfriend. I mean if Raph touches her then Casey has every single right to fuck Alopex and impregnate her.

Too many fives.

Human Male on Female Anthro is the best.

Hob's reaction to such heresy would be hilarious.

This isnt April

Casey abandoned April in this continuity. Just like how in Mirage Casey and April don't really work out in the long term.

Some thread...

>genetic variety

Hahahahaha, no. One female and four boys? Even if we assume the boys aren't genetically related (and they probably are), Donny would be morally obligated to say "no, just fucking no, that's a recipe for the most inbred pull-them-out-of-their-misery kids possible."

A species with only five members, one female, is a species that may as well be extinct already.

Honestly, no version of them is a good couple. Even 2003 was forced as fuck, with them meeting and literally staring at one another slackjawed like they were soulmates.

It's a bad pairing, and I wish it wasn't, but it totally is.

bunch of redneck turtles

This. Or introduce another human sidekick for a few years who gets mutated and stays that way since I'm sure most fans would only want April to be mutated temporarily

I'd do four different Female Turtles
>a turtle who get mutated
>a human who gets mutated and turned into a turtle hybrid
>a clone made by aliens
>a Kappa

Together they fight crime

Yeah, that's... basically what they did.

these are the best ideas

Just do the multiverse female team
If it catches on you do a series. If only one of the femTMNT characters catch on you bring one them back from time to time, and if they dont catch on as a whole never bring them up again.

Whats so hard about this ?

What are you on about.

they clearly are modeled after humans. They are turtles turned human like. Why is getting human features like hands, arms, feet, bipedal stature, presumably some inner changes as well to accomodate their changes in diet, stature etc. believable but boobs are too far?

>What's so hard about rebooting an entire franchise only switch the genders of every character

If you weren't thrown out a window while meeting with the license holders (and that's a BIG if, because you'd be considered a dangerous moron even by their standards) you would most certainly be ripped to shreds by fans in a Purge-like frenzy at the first convention where you talked about your "I'll turn all the boys into girls!" idea before you even got to the "but sexy" bit.

Fucking hell, where do they even grow you idiots?

But it's a shell on front too. Where would the milk go, user? It would be trapped in there. Useless. Worthless. Like you.

As far as anthro turtle females go there are two things you can do for them having breasts. The first thing? Turtles could remove their shells just like how we see Koopa Troopas do or how about Bentley from Sly Cooper who we've seen what he would look like without his shell.

The other idea? Make the frontal part of the shell similar to what fans have done with Princess Ruto from Zelda. Nintendo retconned that now she has a natural "scale bra" so fans decided "She can slide the scales at will" and same to a turtle lady to expose her breasts.

>What's so hard about rebooting an entire franchise only switch the genders of every character
What part of 'first do multiverse story if people like it then do spinoff' dont you get?

this is what tmnt devolved into

This.

>Have it so the turtles can remove their shells

user, you're doubling down on terrible ideas to try and justify something stupid. You ever see what happens if you cut into a turtle's shell? It ain't pretty. Basically their spine. Not even Rise would make their turtles so cartoon-logic-y that they can take off their shells.

...At least I hope it's not. Time will tell, I guess.

The only way I can see people tolerating a universe where the four turtles are female is if:

- They don't use the male names and use actual female artist names.
- Don't use the same color bandannas.
- Don't use the same weapons as the iconic brothers.

The TMNT quartet are perfect the way they are. 5 is a crowd, no matter what gender it is.

Explain how groups like the Teen Titans always have a Token 2 Females (with opposite personalities). Even Justice League did this.

>5 is a crowd

Confirmed for a fag that's never read a TMNT book.

At this point it looks weird when the boys are hanging out and it's just the 4 of them, without their dad or any of their dozens of friends (and sometimes girlfriends) there with them. And maybe their pets, which are sometime living icecream, sometimes turtles, and sometimes dinosaurs.

What four colors would you use for female turtles?

>Yellow
>Light blue
>Pink
>White?

Yellow: What they went with.
Light Blue: Venus. Terrible associations.
Black: Slash. Nobody else is allowed take Slash's fucking color, you hear me?
Pink: Probably not.
White: Reserved for weird shit where April gets turned into a turtle. Again.

Or they can be RISE style with different heights for every turtle

>Pink: Probably not.
dont be like that

>The only way I can see people tolerating a universe where the four turtles are female is if:
if its multiverse no one will care

Pack of 4 works better than 5 characters at once. Ninja Turtles have better interactions between each other than Teen Titans. Also it's easier to work together and not nerf another character for a situation when you don't have too many options to choose from.
5 will always be a crowd. That's why it's 4 ninja turtles. Any more mutants and it's a clusterfuck in the MAIN GROUP. She's not just another mutant, she's permanently part of the team. And she doesn't add anything interesting to a perfect group of 4.

Right user. We've all heard the saying "four's company, five is too many, despite how many successful books have five."

The reason the turtles work so well is they have personalities that are very distinct/defined, and bounce off each other in interesting ways. A girl turtle has to fill a niche that the other four don't.

Campbell's SOTO fanfic girl turtle being a quiet introvert honestly isn't a bad idea.

Read any of the Jennika-Casey bits, or her trying to deal with the kids? She might be all business in battle, but force her to interact with actual people and she's out of her depth. Not exactly the Campbell girl, but different from the others.

>A girl turtle has to fill a niche that the other four don't.

So the most boring personality to pick? What could've been better?

quiet introvert can be fun if done well
like TT Raven

Good question. There's only so many personality archetypes.

Is tomboy a personality? I wouldn't mind seeing that.

Some ideas:
Fangirl of one of the turtles.
Psycho silent personality.
Goth personality.
Split personality/Bi-polar
Glamourous show-off personality.
Spider-man quip personality.
Wise but dumb-blonde personality.
Stone cold anti-hero personality. (Shredder but on the good guys side.)

And so many more to choose from. Silent introvert is too easy.

Well ain't that just Yea Forums in a nutshell.

Sure, folks COULD discuss the comic. Talk about the new mutant, or the ongoing plot with the Pantheon, or start guessing who's going to die in the current arc, and what the status quo will be afterward...

OR! People could bitch about a story that isn't even out yet, and tell one another that they could write something better (then demonstrate that they really couldn't).

>telling Yea Forums how to discuss
>not fucking off and making your own OP

.

>Goth personality.

A lot of your suggestions are just permutations of the original four turtles but a gloomy/sullen female turtle's not a bad riff on the shy archetype.

Venus. Boom, done.
