The Fifth Turtle

There was indeed a fifth Ninja Turtle and his name is not Venus.
Well, technically Venus still is the fifth turtle from the short lived Ninja Turtles : The Next Mutation.

Video Evidence:

But not so recent searches would suggest a fifth turtle supposedly part of the unproduced IV live action TMNT movie from the 90's.
A turtle that would not be named after a renaissance artist or a work of art but rather after the King Of Comics himself, Jack Kirby.

All artworks as drawn by Kevin Eastman back in 1994-1996.

Further analysis would suggest that this concept and design is what would later on be The Mighty Mutanimal Slash.

But Slash would predate this concept art further debunking this theory.

The long wait is over.
So here are the official character art for the upcoming TMNT cartoon series entitled:

I dunno about you guys but I kinda liked it!
Dem turtle teens with them thick lines and sharp edges...it's all very RADICAL, dudes!
And also, Fat Master Splinter looks incredible!

I mean let's face it, the 80's cartoon look was definitely iconic as fuck.
And no other animation studio might be able to replicate that.
And even if they could, why should they?
No one should play second banana to anyone just because the first banana was deemed successful.
Those designs were probably copyrighted anyways and might even cost a whole lot of money.

And at this point in time, shouldn't we all just be happy that the heroes in a half shell are getting a cartoon adaptation as opposed to yet another 3D series. Not that there's anything wrong with 3D Turtles but Cartoon turtles just looks a bit more closer to the source material.
