Worst Part of The 2014 turtles designs
 
When I see people complain about the designs I usually hear 3 problems
1. The god awful faces
2. The ridiculous size
3. The crap they're wearing
Which one of these is the worst part of the designs to you.

TrickOrTreater 08-12-2015 10:58 PM

All of the above.

Autbot_Benz 08-12-2015 11:01 PM

Id say the clothes. Too much clutter on them.

^ Same goes for me. Though if I gotta choose, it's between their faces and size. They are quite the ugly little devils.

Y'know what I mean.:lol:

I like the clothes and I like them being bigger than other versions, so I'll go with the faces. They are pretty ugly.

Leo656 08-12-2015 11:14 PM

I will also choose D: All of the Above.

Turtle Soup 08-12-2015 11:15 PM

I'm going with the clothes. Size maybe, if it's more like size/strength.

Bry 08-12-2015 11:33 PM

It's all awful, but the biggest problem for me is their size. Their massive, 'roided-out, heavy body types totally fly against them being freakin' ninjas. They weren't remotely stealthy throughout the movie and it doesn't look like they're even capable of it. Making them super-strong, bulletproof behemoths totally undercuts their skill and makes the "Ninja" part of the title and concept irrelevant. Which is such an idiotic decision I can barely believe it.

The clothes I can deal with. Running around real life NYC, at the very least shoes make sense. (Which of course is the one damn thing Raph isn't wearing... Mr. Fat Feet there can't even fit an altered pair like Leo. lol) Even tough feet could be injured running around some city like that, and last thing you need when you lack access to medical care is a nasty infection. (Yes I'm applying real life to fictional characters that prob won't ever get hurt that way, I don't care. lol)

I'd say 'worst part' (imo) is somewhat a tie between size and looks. As I've mentioned before, I can deal with them being tall this once, the steroids however are overdone. I don't want them looking too scrawny - no matter what age the film tries to suggest, I like seeing them looking like they've grown up - but an intervention on the steroids is in order. And if not that... then at the very least the overbearing shell size; they're/were Sliders for Turtley sake.

Facial looks... *sigh* Varies. There are some shots of [some of] them that are decent enough, sorta, I guess (now that I'm used to this), even dare I say just a few that I kind of adore, but there are other shots of them that just...

Powder 08-12-2015 11:36 PM

All 3 parts are equally bad to me, each more "wrong" for the TMNT than the next. I can't settle on just one. Not tryna be Mr. Negative, that's just how I feel.

plastroncafe 08-12-2015 11:47 PM

The superfluous clothing was the greatest sin of the three.
I just...the poor animators.

Can you imagine being the poor soul who spent day in and day out painstakingly animating all the doo-dads and thinger-ma-bobs the guys were wearing?

I almost want to start a collection to buy them a couple of cases of their favorite drink just...to try and help them take the edge off.

Slade 08-13-2015 12:30 AM

Damn, I was hoping I could pick all three, but ended up clicking just clothes.

There really should have been a D. All of the above.

LeotheLateBloomer 08-13-2015 12:55 AM

The designs and heights of the turtles aren't that bad to me. They have the potential to represent an even darker, intimidating version that sadly will never reach that potential. Clothes and ninja shoes would make more sense if they're going for the design of a ninja. Ironically, I could see these guys wearing actual ninja outfits. Just fix the faces and get rid of Raph's shade and Mike sunglasses and I'm good.

THIS!!

They are way too big to be ninjas and the fact that they crushed a car just was way over the top for me. I dislike all of the above but the size really grinds my gears the most.

Candy Kappa 08-13-2015 01:45 AM

All three off' em. Although, if I had to choose... I'd say the size was the most jarring off the three, by a tiny bit.

I'd guess that stuff would be procedural animation, i.e. simulated. I do feel sorry for the animators though, because the designs and direction are out of their hands, so they work their guts out on something that is going to get crapped on.

The Turtle Terminator 08-13-2015 03:14 AM

Can you put an option for " all of the above" please. And a "noses" option to please Cybercubed.

Darth Knuckles 08-13-2015 03:26 AM

The thing I disliked the most about the 2014 turtles was their size. It made it so they could just throw and punch The Foot out of their way instead of using ninjutsu to do so. The art of invisibility was made extremely harder for this version of turtles and they barely used their weapons because of their massive size and fighting style. And towards the end of the movie there is no realistic way they could have fit down in that manhole cover.
