i guess it makes sense for a studio head to leave at least ONE around after the big promotion of a thing is done to see how reactions go .
also useful to see if the campaign was effective and whether or not another one is needed. |

I don't know why fresh new info coming out would make anyone want to try and find out more information on that thing, especially if they were out if the loop on it and had nostalgic childhood feelings for said thing.

I predict a massive influx of plants when the toys/concept art of the 2018 show are revealed, followed by an even bigger community of them when the next series of tmnt films are released.
They will all boast about this new "radical" and "cool" era of tmnt trumping everything before it, only to vanish into the shadows when the new show and films will not be very popular. Last edited by FredWolfLeonardo; 05-06-2017 at 10:57 PM. |

I doubt it. The only reason plants were needed were because the film already had a bad rep among fans. They were essentially damage control.

Well tmnts reputation isnt the best as of now as a whole, 95% due to the PD films which is what the general public immediately recognizes when thinking turtles.
Too early to speak now, but Im guessing when the design/concept art is revealed for rise: that the drome is gonna respond to it negatively. Thats when the plants will come in, trying to convince that this will be the best era of tmnt ever. |

Not true in the slightest. All the casuals I've met are stuck on the OT and have either disliked PD or thought it was just "okay".

I guess...I'm just puzzled why this matters. Let them get their payday and move on. No amount of someone telling me how awesome something is...is going to change my mind about it. Then again, considering the property, and the demographic they're gunning for, it's hardly my attention they're seeking. The Drome's got a reputation for gate-keeping, and with the new battle cry of PLANT isn't going to be changing that anytime soon.

please keep the insults out of this thread please . but if even 20 people joined the forum on one day a 'leaked' photo just happened to pop up...i'd consider that suspicious myself. especially if it never happened before for other things considered 'event news'. |

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. |

ok mod
You really can't fathom that studios would have viral marketers going around? It's a damn good way to promote something and it DOES exist. |

That's the biggest problem with the Hollywood execs. It's never their fault in their minds. Their ideas are not dumb, we are. It's either their way in whatever they think is right..... or 'oh well, I guess noone really likes 'insert franchise name here', pull the plug.

Yep, they aren't going to blame themselves for messing up and will just chalk it up to the fans and how they didn't react well enough despite everyone praising the thing to death and trying to convince others that it's the best thing since sliced bread even when it isn't. And thinking back on things, I do believe there were some plants here on the boards by their attitudes whenever anyone would act negative towards the movies in any way.

usually with an attack against the person expressing that 'hateful' opinion against the movie itself.
almost as if they fear loosing their job if they don't attack the person rather than the opinion ;o). |
