Yes, I do think it's strange to see zero Martial Arts Fighting from the title characters themselves so far in any of the promotion when the film is called NINJA Turtles...and if the new trailer changes that, then great!

So, IF this new trailer (coming up soon) doesn't show any good glimpses of the Ninja Turtles themselves actually using Martial Arts...

Then yes, I would think that it is Mighty Strange that in 2 trailers And a TV Spot, there have been zero glimpses of the Ninja Turtles themselves doing any of the 'Raid/Fist of Legend' inspired Fight scenes that the makers mentioned over and over again.

Why am I beating this dead horse?

Because every single Martial Arts film (which yes, with a title called NINJA Turtles, I would think this WOULD BE a Martial Arts film) that I can think of has shown some kind of Martial Arts Fighting during their trailers when they came out. As well as every single Ninja Turtle movie trailer from the past 4 films have shown the Turtles doing some kind of Martial Arts Fighting (the only thing I can think that Didn't do that was the first/original teaser of the CGI film...and at least that showcased most of them moving and acting like Ninjas).

So yes, I find it strange that out of every single Ninja Turtle film trailer in the past and out of so many Martial Arts movie trailers that I can think of, this is one of the few that has showcased zero Martial Arts fighting so far...again, it's just my opinion. And again, if the new trailer changes that, then that is seriously a good thing.

I agree to an extent except for what we have seen was a teaser and a very short tv spot, and even in those two trailer there was plenty of action in small quick clips Donnie and mikey fighting in the lair. Also leo doing amazing acrobatics off a water tower that to me screams ninja turtles. Master splinters fineness with his sword and even if you dont believe Raphs disarming is very "martial arts" it is kind of one way you can disarm someone. That's already Quite a bit of action within a 1:30 sec trailer and a 30 sec trailer. PLus what are the chances that they would really show full martial art fight scenes this early?

I mean it could happen but not likely for a movie this heavily Animated were your watching to see fully realized complex action with mostly CGI character Movie like Godzilla and Planet of the apes who main characters are heavily CGI haven't really shown much in terms of Action shot. because chances are they aren't fully finished. Well we get these Action shots sure but for a movie like this being done the way it is Jumping to "i dont think there will be any"(martial arts) Is Kind of silly. Its like people jumping to conclusions like splinter wasn't in the movie because the first trailer didn't have him in it.(people who didn't know he was cast)

I mean the talent is there they have it they know what Ninja turtles is about and what that includes "action" wise and Why straight up lie straight to are face on several occasions about something like this??? Kevin is has worked closely with Johnathan and worked with all the screen writers.

It be different if they didn't Keep saying these things over and over again but this is not the case.


Sorry for the long winded post.
