Max Landis's pitch for TMNT 2
 

Max Landis posted a video talking about a pitch he had for TMNT 2, and it's ending, his pitch was also a sequel to the 2014 movie.

Can somebody summarize it for me?

There's no justice in the world when we lose someone as wonderful as Anton Yelchin, but Max Landis remains.

Sure. In a nutshell: nothing you're going to like.

Summary needed. Max is only taken in small doses.

Venus... Why?...

In general it sounds similar to the actual movie we got but without Shredder, that is to say not good except maybe worse... Because he included Venus for some awful reason.

Part of his pitch involves the loneliness of the Turtles and wanting to be human, Donnie meets with Baxter Stockman and he said he can turn them into humans.

All the wrong. All of it. Ultimate wrong message. Terrible. Wrong. Bad.

That's beauty and the beast. More to the point it implies being something "other than" necessitates change, specifically physical otherness.
Translated; Blacks want to be white, Gays want to be straight, etc. <- this is abhorrent thinking.

Humanity isn't the pinnacle. If anything, the Turtles are more than, not less.

He's just as disturbed as his father.

Eh... eh... 'okay' so far, if depressing... "Leo wants to be a member of the Foot Clan." Goodbye.

Wtf. A guy with a Skittles rainbow coming out of his head is trying to put my do-gooder, smart, high integrity boy in the Foot Clan.

Yeah summery please, not going to make it any farther. Or timer marks of highlights. So what does he propose with Venus? Is it at least laughable?

"Gee, I wish Max Landis would talk more." - nobody ever

Isn't this guy a friend of Dave Green's. I'm sure I've seen him interviewed and he mentioned that and haven't they conversed over twitter.

EDIT

He actually mentions he's friends with Green in the video. Oh and yes it's not very good.

His idea for Bebop and Rocksteady are these two punks, they turn into mutants, but don't like being mutants, so Baxter Stockman tells them he would turn them back to normal, if he works for him.

He does mention in the beginning that he knows Dave Green, and he pitched his idea for the sequel, even though Dave Green told him they already have a script.

Dave Green lied.

Is he gay? Just wondering.

Are you cruising for a piece of ass?

So the girl Raph was with turns into Venus, Why not Mona Lisa. lol

He did say right off the bat, that his pitch was stupid lol

that was awful - it made Out of the Shadows seem like Shakespeare.

(I did enjoy OOTS, but can admit it was heavily flawed)

and his ending was set to music from Fallout Boy - Save Rock And Roll.

Max Landis' opinion? No thanks.
