i was going to stay away, i was going to keep my mouth shut till august..but honestly how can people be ok with this as promo? how can you defend the choice behind color swatches? this isnt cool or edgy, or minimalistic,this is lazy of the laziest

someone went to walmart and got color swatches and their numbers and posted them

and this is some form of official image? please someone explain how this is selling a movie?

When I first saw that...I was ticked off. Once again, something un impressive and not exciting.

However, I was also confused. What does it mean? And having some hidden code ... hmm, there may be more to this than meets the eyes. The secrets dwell in the shadows, or in this case, the colors.

Hoping this is more than just ... something that's nothing (if you get what I mean). Let's all try to figure out this code, Technodromers! Let's crack it (if there's anything to crack).

EDIT: Just read what you had to say, Boston ... erg. Man, really? ... really?

i was prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt - i got excited thinking these were there lab assignment codes when they were being experimented on...but nope...BOSTON was right. they are swatch/color codes.

the promo images are getting lazier, and lazier.

wow...just, wow...

electric_sheep 06-03-2014 11:57 AM

Actualy it was a code if you take the pic in photoshops and turn the exposion way up you will see

but Donnie's and Raph's aren't try finding them on any paint / color website they dont exist and why in the image are there layers and lines except Raph's?

I pretty sure there is more to this then just paint colors

because they dont care anymore, its that simple...they are hoping it goes away incase they movie just bombs...why spend money on something when you have no faith in it

if this was a standard we would see it all the time...like "optimus prime red" or "Bumblebee yellow"

It's insulting. Get your F-ing **** together!!!!!!

Hah, it's not. I had similar thing to this when i scraped my car and needed to repaint it, it's just the code for the paint...

Amen. Makes me start to question ... if they put this much thought into marketing, how much thought did they put into this film? If they put out this type of 'quality' marketing, what kind of 'quality' will be put behind the film? :-?:cry:

What im saying it Donnie 93-15u Code does not exist on any paint website or color code website it doesn't exist Neither does Raph's 55-15u Code

WHy have them there if they don't exist?

IM possitive there is more to this then just "Paint" colors seeing as two of the four Codes aren't real

oh those lines....you mean the dash.......those lines mean its more of a mixed color..they have to take whatever 93 is and 15u mix them and you get that purple as opposed to buying a premade paint color like the blue or orange

"raph" is the same ...it looks like 15u is the base paint and 93 and 55 are what you add to get the right color


here is the 15u color reference they are the base paint

Now is the time to turn it up a notch. This has been such a dry month.. people are getting rambunctious.. I understand that a trailer is literally right around the corner.. but there is no excuse for releasing this minimalistic ****. You couldn't even follow up the Leo poster from a few weeks ago with posters for the rest of them?? Get your **** together and put out something worthwhile

What I'm saying is that they could have gotten better people to do the marketing. If they are signing off and approving of this marketing, if they're fine with this being the way they sell their film, I'm not sure how much 'faith they have in the film', as many like to say.

I've had faith that they've had faith, but now I'm losing my faith that they have faith and are faithfully working on this film with faith.

Provided there really isn't something more to this... F for lack of effort, Marketing Team. Again.

I can't decide if this is a step up or down from this thing a few weeks back:

Well I can't blame you lol.. I don't think it is indicative of a low quality movie.. at all. I think they are just putting out a minimalistic **** picture to kill time before releasing something more significant.. like a trailer. But I am starting to lose patience. I thought the marketing for Spiderman looked desperate.. It was way to much.. but they obviously had faith in their product so.. Apes has had little marketing also.. and they are even closer to release than TMNT. With every movie I've seen this year the Marketing always picks up the month of release.. We are still two months out.. So I don't think that this one little picture means that they have little faith in the film. If this is the kind of **** we get in July then I think that could be saying something. I don't think Paramount would spend 130 million bucks on a film and then just.. let it go down the drain. I think there are some really cool things coming. I just think this is a ridiculous picture.

It's true, a film can be great and have horrible marketing. Or vice versa. I'm just not sure why they put out stuff like this, I think I may prefer nothing at all.

And I don't doubt that we'll see a pick up in marketing soon. I'm pretty sure they will. But as you said, one still of Shredder would be a good way to intrigue people in the time being, not ... paint colors.

i am willing to give it the benefit of the doubt that this is the facebook team instead of the marketing team

nothing more can be said about this crap. As an ellite enthusist for this film it not only gives this films marketing a bad name but people who is positive for this film a bad name as well and this is ****ing ridiculous that this late in the game they would put **** like this out. And the thing is, the marketing team is setting back getting their 7 goddamn chuckles in for the day collecting their paychecks for this crap laughing all the way to the bank. I swear the ones who market this damn film must really hate the tmnt property to show this much disrespect in putting these last few things out...their goddamn tmnt terrorist or something making sure they belittle the fans as much as possible along the way....this seriously pisses me off and they all need to be fired......imediately.......:x

I agree... yea it's a **** picture.. but it's not that late in the game.. Like I said before Marketing for any movie usually picks up the month of release.. I mean Age of extinction is going to make stupid amounts of money, but yet they haven't had crazy marketing yet.. and it's less than a month away. That's Paramount's money bag lol. I just think they put out minimalistic **** lately. It's an insult to us TMNT enthusiast.. It has to be the Facebook guy.. I think the four weapons posters were official.. but not this ****.. I could be wrong though. I don't think it gives us a bad name.. it's not our fault that they put something like this out. I still think the movie will be great. But make no mistake about it.. this marketing has been terrible thus far.

But I know exactly how you feel dude
