One thing I love about mutant mayhem is that Leo has a crush on an April who’s not conventionally attractive. It almost feels like, because of the turtles’ isolated upbringing* he hasn’t been influenced by the popular western beauty ideals and just thinks this ordinary human is beautiful! And I think that’s really cool! Because she is!

*though they’ve clearly been exposed to celebrities and other pop culture so ?? idk lol

#tmnt #mutant mayhem #I’m usually a very ‘I’m ugly and that’s okay’ type of person #but that’s really only about the definition of ugly that = not fitting into the popular western beauty ideals #but everyone has something about them that’s beautiful to someone yknow #idk I don’t want to be out here calling this April ugly because I don’t think she is #but I know a lot of male fans of older turtles have been saying she’s ugly #and yeah it’s very cool that this teenage boy character has a crush on an ‘ugly’ girl #and I know I have no stake in straight representation lol but it’s just good to see the girl crush have unconventional features #though I will say personally I don’t want them to be together just because any turtle x human relationship gives me the ick which is fully #just a me thing I think like I don’t think it’s morally reprehensible to ship any turtle with an april or karai (03 leo and karai had me #shipping them as a kid before I even knew what shipping was lol) #my words #ALSO whoever voiced dr stockman sounded SO similar to the 03 him. I was cryin #i feel like this movie wasn’t the best I mean I heavily enjoyed it but I hope it builds up to more. the mid credits scene had me screaming #so here’s hoping we get sequels aaaaa #give me karai or give me death #SMOOTH LIKE BUTTER LIKE A CRIMINAL UNDERCOVER
