The recent collaboration between TMNT and Fortnite has players wondering why the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles’ eyes are white and have no pupils. Here is all you need to know about the white eyes of the TMNT in Fortnite.
Why do the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have white eyes in Fortnite?
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have white eyes in Fortnite likely due to an artistic choice to reference the Turtles’ original design.
Interestingly, when the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles first appeared in the comics in 1984, they debuted with pure white eyes compared to later iterations of the characters that possessed black pupils. So, it is possible that whoever designed the four heroes in a half shell for the new Fortnite collaboration titled “Cowabunga”, wanted to pay homage to the original iterations from 1984.
While the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles remained relatively unchanged in terms of their other physical features in all their television, video game, and film appearances, their eyes have often undergone constant change mostly between full-white eyes and between eyes with pupils. This is once again due to artistic choice as the artists who drew them in their various appearances took creative liberties.
Whether they have white eyes or eyes with pupils, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have remained beloved in all their media appearances thanks to their awesome fighting abilities and tendency to warm hearts and make people laugh through their never-ending banter and love for pizza.
Fortnite players can now get their hands on the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and explore their unique abilities as part of the recent Cowabunga collaboration event between Fortnite and TMNT. In this event, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles will be battling Shredder and also partake in various in-game challenges. Players can also obtain and play as the Turtles’ sensei, Master Splinter.
