TMNT: Mutant Mayhem Trailer Has Fans Buzzing Over Ayo Edebiri's April O'Neil. Some people are criticizing April O'Neil's redesign for TMNT: Mutant Mayhem while others are loving her new look.
The Heroes in a Half-Shell are getting rebooted once again for the all-new animated movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem. A new trailer has just been released for the film, revealing the unique animation style along with our first look at several of the main characters as they'll appear in the film. Along with the titular teenage turtles, the trailer also includes a peek at a new incarnation of April O'Neil, voiced by The Bear star Ayo Edebiri.
One character that has been given a redesign different from several of the previous adaptations is April, imagined in the CG-animated film as a Black woman. The subject of changing the skin color of fictional characters seems to always generate some kind of controversy online, and we've seen it as recently as the trailer for The Little Mermaid, and as expected, there have been some complaints posted to social media about presenting April O'Neil as Black in this new reboot.
As one tweet reads, "I know the attack on redheads is real, but come on! April O'Neil is white!"
Another tweet states, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem looks fun but did they just Jimmy Olsen/Wally West race swap April O’neil because she was a redhead/ginger? Who in Hollywood has a hate boner for gingers? lol Movie looks funny though!"
Meanwhile, others are criticizing the look of the character beyond her skin color. Some are saying she's been made to look "ugly," while others seem unhappy that the character is depicted as heavier than other versions of April O'Neil.
"As always people are pulling the racist card at any April O'Neil criticism (white 'activists' at that)," reads one tweet. "April is supposed to be beautiful, they could have given us a cute, black April. They made her ugly on purpose, race plays no role in that."
Directed by Jeff Rowe, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem also features the voices of Nicolas Cantu (Leonardo), Micah Abbey (Donatello), Shamon Brown Jr. (Michaelangelo), Brady Noon (Raphael), Jackie Chan (Splinter), Seth Rogen (Bebop), John Cena (Rocksteady), Ice Cube (Superfly), Paul Rudd (Mondo Gecko), and Giancarlo Esposito (Baxter Stockman).

It seems like lately there has been a desire to get rid of the #male #hero. Any male hero, of course, but especially the white male hero. Any movie with a male protagonist is seen a problem from the outset. It's one of those things that you don't realize until it isn't there anymore. Perhaps it was how 2020 went down, where the last people who were going to win any awards were white men. Even movies about white men were frowned upon.
But we need #men. We need male heroes. We need strong tough guys or smart resourceful guys – or just GUYS. It is as fundamental as our need to drink water or eat food and it isn't something we should do without. It is sort of like removing a female character's sexuality because that too is somehow not fashionable anymore. Why? What would be the point of removing something so essential? It is arguably the most powerful force on the planet – getting rid of it makes the world and especially movies, a less interesting place.
It's not going to be great if this becomes some kind of unwritten rule going forward: no more male heroes.
Many prominent voices on the Left seem to be perfectly comfortable with the idea that art should not REFLECT life, comment on life or offer satire or criticism of the human experience, but rather to dictate how people should think, how society should function and what we all should fear. The idea being, we have to "do better" as a society and never be offensive, not to a single person ever for any reason. Our rules are becoming more strict in order to leave no marginalized person behind, to never promote "bad" ideas, to always reach for the perfect America we know we can be.
Boys need to see heroes celebrated in mass media. Not deconstructed or perverted. Heroes like Superman, Batman, Luke Skywalker, Optimus Prime, Conan, Thor and Iron Man have become vital masculine role models in our culture, and they should be preserved and protected.
