Wait until I find out? Am I supposed to care? As in I could see Raphael being a black guy. He's one of my favorites, and I can think of more than a few actors that could play him. He was generally played by a white guy in most of the cartoons and what not. Changing April just seems pointless to me. Like why? What's the reasoning except another woke agenda by those in charge?

Regardless, this reboot looked awful, and April had nothing to do with it. I simply don't like the look of these turtles in the slightest bit. I don't like the animation either. It's not like I am mad at the film for changing April, it just seems kinda pointless to me like the recent Disney efforts. I cannot think of logical reasons for doing this except to pander to certain demographics for sales. Which is fine. I was asking if anybody knew why they changed her.

Personally, I never really had a huge attachment to April. But I do have an attachment to the look of the turtles and Splinter. This is easily the worst look I have ever seen.
