Which is your favorite version of April? Comic, old toon, new toon or movies?
For me I found her a bit to wieny on the old toon and not that great of a role model towards woman.
Movie April was alright but was missing somthing....oh yeah she seemed a tad bit to bitchy for my taste.....
Comic April has to tie with new toon April, both are very well to do, are independ and can take care themselves when a fight breaks out.

i like new toon better. the old qpirl in the 80's always get the turtles into trouble. thats what it was all about! "we gatta save apirl blah blah" i like the new one because she more indapentant and not sooo snoobish in the movie. the second movie she was much better. the thrid she was snobbish also. new tton apirl looks better, fights better, and is a the best apirl i seen yet. but i herd that she and casey are not going to be in the fast forward seris though. *shruggs* it was fun till is lasted.

I prefer the current toon's April. I would agree that she ties in with comic book April, but ever since Laird made her a drawing come to life, my preference changed quite distinctly.

It's a tough one for me... I can't really say I have a favorite April. April in the new series is pretty nice and independent and such, but she really needs to lose the bun. Get a new hair style, girl. April in the movies was pretty good. She could possibly be my favorite type, though since there wasn't much developement with April from the movies, I can't really say she's the best. April from the Mirage comics is a really well developed character and she has quite an amount of depth. ...But... like Krow, her secret origin is a real turn off for me. Then there's April from the original series. I actually like her alot, and I don't know why she gets so much flack from the majority of TMNT fans. Infact, it down right irritates me. One thing that upsets me is the fact that just because April from the original series has big tits, she's automaticly labled a "bimbo" by TMNT fans. This is sickening prejudice. People think that busty women are bad role-models for girls. How could this be justified? That would be like saying muscular men are bad role-models for boys. Ofcourse, that's never an issue. I've actually heard fans refer April as a "skank". This could not be further from the truth. For one thing, she wears a bloody jumpsuit. I'd hardly call the outfit sexy. Still, people find a way to criticise her outfit. I actualy heard one person say that her outfit is too wide open. Oh no! Evil cleavage! Give me a break. Get a life. We pretty much never see April use her "feminine wiles" to her advantage in any situation. And dispite her being captured often and used as bait (which is just bad writing), she's actually quite tough and assertive. She's threatened Shredder, several other baddies, and even her boss! She also seems to me as being the most successful in her feild of work compared to all the other Aprils. Yup, I don't think people give her much credit. They just see her as the bimbo who's nothing more than a bargaining chip for ransom. Fact is she's a bold, tough, hard-working, successful, take charge type who's also an opportunist and an optimistic. My only problem with April from the original series was that her jumpsuit was yellow. Should have been a different color like blue, white, or hot pink.

My only gripe with old toon April is her obsession of "getting a story" and her whiny attitude on occasion. She constantly put herself in danger with that workaholic personality and she bitched about the littlest things. It got old and irritating.
EDIT: I definitely had no problem with her cleavage, let alone think it evil.

I agree .. old toon april only cared about the story and got a little annoying..
I think I like the new toon April the best cause she does care for the turtles and at the same time she seems to have her stuff together and she is really smart.
I do like april on the movies but as you say theres not that much to her

To me, movie April seemed... what's the word... snotty -- overconfident, perhaps? She just seemed so sure of herself despite the fact that most of what she did was embarrassing.

EDIT: I definitely had no problem with her cleavage, let alone think it evil. Exacty, I never had a problem with how she was designed (art wise...heh kind of had a huge impression on me when I was young) But I just didnt like what they were doing with that version of her, they never did anything different with her. We were treated with the same story of her getting her self into danger.
