Um well that's just it. Both Tom Waltz's IDW comic and the current Nickelodeon cartoon Ciro has created basically are fan fiction. Hell, your Odyssey graphic novel and the Image conclusion before that are basically fan fiction. Some of the best stuff comes out of fan fiction these days. The guys who developed Smallville 16 years ago were fans of Superman. Sam Raimi was a childhood fan of Spider-Man (too bad he blew it with the 3rd film though). I could go on, man! The bottom line is sometimes it takes a hardcore fan of these characters to really bring out the best in them. But you gotta be willing to have love for all the different versions, not just the one you grew up with or put in high regard.

This is upsetting.

Have y'all seen fangirls on Tumblr?

They're raging!

But yes. This is upsetting. A third film needs to be made before we move forward. I hate that we are left in a cliff hanger.

How exactly is my pro-IDW bias any different from a pro-Mirage bias? Without resorting to pulling the flimsy 'source material' card out for the millionth time, anyway.

Breaking News: Tumblr fangirls whining over so-called "Injustice"!

In other news: Water is wet!

And I absolutely agree with your bolded statement. The whole post, but ESPECIALLY that bolded statement.

It's all right, I was being a blockhead. Anyway, I see IDW as the right blending of TMNT elements to draw the largest crowd possible in, and turning out a quality product. Yes, I concede some Mirage stories may be better, but IDW gives the filmmakers a larger and more colorful canvas to work with, and will appeal to a larger audience.

Yeah, Tumblr fangirls are pretty upsetting to see.

& I feel you, watching that movie did indeed feel like hanging off of a cliff! The same anxiety, hopelessness, preparing oneself for death...

*ToTheNines* · 11-02-2016, 08:48 PM

I hang off high ledges every day. No where near as deflating, defeating and depressing as OotS.

The cliffhanger: can these producers make an even worse movie somehow!? (Yes, the answer is yes, the answer is always yes.)

From either a creative or a business standpoint, it makes little sense to continue with this iteration. The sequel failed, likely losing money, and there's not much chance to lower the budget based on the expensive mo-cap/CGI effects. To say nothing of this whole series being based firmly on the Bay method of going bigger and bigger with each sequel.

The 2014 movie proved there's still earning potential for this franchise on the big screen, and its legacy and sequel proved that their audience won't just throw money at crap. They've gotta be looking at a much lower-budget reboot. Which means either actors/stuntmen in suits with CGI enhancements or pure animation, I'd assume. Also: pray.

*THGhost* · 11-02-2016, 09:18 PM

When will those Tumblr fangirls ever learn?

Oh, right. Never. Forget I asked.

*plastroncafe* · 11-02-2016, 09:24 PM

There's a method to their madness:

The worse the source material, the better the fanfic.
I've read some really good stuff from the dregs that is this universe.
(Which...is pretty much the entire universe.)

Archie TMNT went on for nearly a decade. I think the first issue was in 1988 and it went on to 1995.

IDW is almost caught up in number of years published, and most likey still has a long road ahead of it.

I could see IDW TMNT going on at least 10 years. I mean we're already in year 5 right now.

Probably. Sales seem to have stabilized in a satisfactory place where at least 1 additional title can run side-by-side. That speaks of legs.

*CyberCubed* · 11-03-2016, 01:42 AM

I just hope Tom Waltz and Bobby stay for the entire run of the comic. If they ever leave IDW or quit for whatever reason, the whole tone/structure of the series would probably be lost.

Thankfully IDW doesn't change creative teams every few years like Marvel and DC does.

* Stephen Amell isn't bad, but they apparently didn't give him anything to do and Officer Casey Jones quintessentially isn't Casey Jones.

I've always said that Megan Fox could play a competent April but the scripts for both movies failed her and now she'll never get a chance to play her again. Granted, she's not my ideal April but like you said, she neither helped nor hurt these movies.

As far as Amell goes, I've only watched a cameo scene of his Arrow in an episode of the Flash but I liked what I saw of his performance in that show. But again, bad scripts.

Both Fox and Amell could be perfectly suitable Aprils and Caseys in a "real" TMNT movie that actually gave a sh*t. The best choices? Maybe not, but perfectly serviceable.

*Powder* · 11-03-2016, 01:04 PM

Nah, nope. They are sh*t actors, case closed.

*plastroncafe* · 11-03-2016, 01:14 PM

I blame the director.
It's their job to get the best performance out of their cast, and to make a questionable script great.

Some of my friends thought the latest Ninja Turtles was dope. I don't think we're friends anymore. It was a real try-hard.
