Add April to the list of redhead characters being "adapted" into a nigger.
Also, I do not mind them acting like teenagers, smartphone is out of place.

Fun fact in the comics when they started, April O'neil was Asian or White depending on the artist. She was never black unlike people claim.

"Permanent Teenager Seth Rogen"
Well, at least the trailer is being honest.

Teenagers have more common sense than Rogan.

Another day, another Turtles thing I probably won't watch. The comics are supposed to be good, at least.

Donetello's voice is awful. Nigger April is stupid. She doesn't even look anything at all like she should. I kind of like the art style though, except for the turtles.

When it said from permanent teenager Seth Rogan I dropped off, and I imagine their analytics will show plenty others did too. Didn't even get to April being blacked.

Wasn't April based on one of the creators first wife, who was mixed? She wasn't fully black, but she was coloured as such in one of the Mirage issues.
EDIT:
I fact-checked this just to be on the safe side and I can't find anything about Eastman's first wife being mixed-race. Make of that what you will.

"From the permanent teenager Seth Rogen"
Well, at least they admit Seth is a massive manchild. But honestly, it makes me wonder how Seth Rogen still has a career after this (Sausage Party) or this (Santa Inc) or this (his disturbing tweets) or these (everything else)
*sees Early Life*
Oh yeah, that.
Never cared for TMNT, Im not hater but I never got the appeal. I guess its like some with Star Wars and other properties, you had to grow up with it. So this all doesnt really bothers me, just gets a big apathy tired sigh from me. I mostly pity the TMNT fans that wont go along with this and now its their turn of being called names.
Oh btw, dont hate watch this I know its shocking for me to say it but hate watching is still giving them money/viewership...why else Velma ended up so "popular" on HBO Max? Either dont watch it or watch it through fucking piracy.

Didn't we just have a Black April reboot?
It's true that the original character's ethnic features changed depending on who was drawing her and who was coloring her in her first few appearances--not that Eastman or Laird oversaw the coloring of the reprints, at least I don't think they did--but she ended up Caucasian. This is not totally surprising for someone who's name is "O'Neill," which, while not entirely determinative, does suggest the very real possibility that she is indeed descended from Europoid stock. (In fact, she's not descended from anyone, but we don't talk about Volume 4.)
This is Nickelodeon's 3rd version of the property in, I think, eleven years. The first one was actually fairly well received, surprising a lot of fans. It was fun, it didn't talk down to kids, it had plenty of Easter eggs for the adults. It could also be a formulaic toy commercial, but TMNT toys have traditionally been pretty cool so I'll overlook that. We've had 10-20 different versions of the TMNT,* and I think Nick's first crack at the characters was pretty respectable. The others ... ugh.
Is Donatello supposed to be prepubescent, or is he a girl now?
The "ooze" riff seems like the kind of thing that would have been ad libbed in Ghostbusters 2016 and we'd all be talking about how stupid Feig was for leaving it in, but they scripted this, recorded it, and animated it. It doesn't make sense in the context of the film's reality, only TMNT fans would know the TCRI mutagen is colloquially called "ooze."
The animation looks cool.
Edit: Looking at the cast list, I think this is actually based on the Playmates toy line, not on any narrative version of the property. There are random characters that no one would remember if they didn't have the action figure sitting in their closet in 1990. A few have been gender-swapped.
