100 million dollar marketing budget, you figure out the angles and canvas the field.

In a sense, we HAVE been waiting for such a thing.
and for the most part, we got it with Turtles Forever. it's done. finished, and was better than we could have hoped for.
What the PD people THOUGHT They where giving us, is what THEY thought we wanted. done THEIR way, with no knowledge of the characters, and then they where confused as to why most long term fans seemed to still hate it ;o).
THEN the plants came in
.
Studios these days don't really need to be very smart when people will defend mediocre work even without plants. They probably figured it was worth an expense if they could convince even half the people who didn't like the movie to give it a chance.
