As you may or may not know, Comic-Con happened this weekend (we did it, everyone!), and at Comic-Con, every celebrity we know and love gathers to talk about the things that matter: the movie or TV shows we are interested in.<\/p>\n

In this case, Megan Fox attended a panel in support of the upcoming "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," and talked about how her character April lost a lot of "girl power" on the cutting room floor.<\/p>\n

"[April] is an ambitious journalist that's not making it the way she wants because people underestimate her," Fox explained. "I couldn't possibly<\/em> relate to that."<\/p>\n

She went on to say that April is less sexualized than her own roles in the past, and that's she's "a little angsty, not darker, but a little less a happy-go-lucky super-sweet damsel-in-distress. Slightly grittier."<\/p>\n

Cool! But here's where the problem lies: the digitalized turtles actually got more ass-kicking-oriented screen time than Fox (a real human being).<\/p>\n

"A lot of girl power ended up on the cutting room floor, actually," she admitted. "I had a really awesome scene where I was fighting The Foot Clan, but I think they were like, 'Why would a tiny journalist be able to kick so much ass? So that got cut. But I have a moment, Shredder and I have a moment Maybe it's badass. You tell me when you see it."<\/p>\n

You can watch more of the panel at HitFix<\/a>, but can we just admit something? How disappointing. Maybe<\/em> the tiny journalist took self defense. Maybe<\/em> she's just very equipped to handle bad guys. Maybe<\/em> it doesn't matter, just give Megan Fox some real Girl Power scenes and save this Michael Bay film from itself. Megan Fox, if I ever make a movie you may have all the ass-kicking scenes you want. (And here's to not underestimating you and your harsh truths.)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
