"We're really excited about the slate we've built, starting with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles reinvention that's being produced by Seth Rogen. I saw a first animation of the movie last week and it's going to be amazing. It's hysterical."
So yeah. Comedy, then, just like the live action one is poised to be.

Eh, I'd probably settle for a TMNT comedy if it's actually funny. Like, way funnier than a Saturday morning cartoon. Like...actually funny. I don't know if I'm getting that across.
I suppose that is possible. Is it ideal? Not at all. But I'd probably enjoy it, unlike another extremely neutered action movie with terrible humor that doesn't excel at anything. Still, I'm not holding my breath for this one. |

Would be nice. I don't even trust the companies that handle franchises like this to even know how to make them funny anymore.
I'm not against some humor that is integrated into it where it feels natural and makes sense. Stuff that just feels normal between siblings and crap that is just within the nature of living on this planet and being infallible beings, but I despise the forced "Durhur, look how weird and funny we're being!" kind of stupid humor. |

* Is it relatively faithful to the origin of the Turtles?
* Does it have actual "ninja action," with the Turtles actually using their weapons in a serious manner trying to hurt their opponents, if not killing them? * Are the Turtles social outcasts, not a part of man's civilization but rather looking at it from a distance? * Does it get into the "circle of vengeance" with the Hamatos and the Orokus? If the answer to all of those is "Yes," then I'm OK with them leaning a bit more into comedy than maybe I'd be otherwise comfortable with (though only if it doesn't come at a cost to the action). I'm just fairly sure almost all of those are going to be a "No" whether speaking about this project or the live action one.

Having their traditional origin is still a mystery but I’m sure it’ll have Ninja action and fighting. Even Rise had it. Every version has that.
They probably will be outcasts. Especially if they’re humans first. Unless it’s about mutants being common place. Highly doubt that. Splinter and Shredder will most likely be included but I could see a different villain/rivalry taking the focus like the 2007 movie. They did not need to confirm having a comedy side. It’s Nick and Seth Rogen. It was just a brief comment though. Weren’t gonna get any solid info from this.

If Shredder is in it he's probably like their evil shop teacher now.

Hey, I had an evil shop teacher in middle school. No idea of his politics though, I mean, he was an old guy so... maybe.
edit: Ah, Mr. Thermon (or some such spelling), just recalled his name. They used to call him the Thermonator behind his back. Only one time we ever saw him not in a sour mood was when he got a call that his grandchild was born. |

I called this movie being trash since the announcement, there were plenty of red flags even back then.

After the ending they were given in the 2012 series I'm willing to bet we'll see them become anti-heroes similar to what DC has been doing with Harley Quinn as of late.

The other stuff, though, I have a strong feeling we will never see fully explored in a TMNT movie again, either animated or live action. It's a toy commercial for little kids and that's all it ever will be; anything too "heavy" or "deep", they're not gonna touch. It seems like the plan is to make each new version more "safe" and have a broad mainstream appeal. I mean, look who owns it. End of story.
