What do you think the turtles will look like? - Page 5

Ravenxl7 · 08-14-2013, 01:19 PM

More humanoid makes sense...to me anyways. They're ninjas after-all, so they need to be agile. Agility is not exactly something that comes to mind when I see a turtle. Ultimately we'll just have to wait and see how they look. They haven't exactly said anything specific about them yet, so it's hard to imagine exactly what they mean by more humanoid.

*Slap-Happy* · 08-14-2013, 01:43 PM

There's no source on that article. Just sayin'.

*TigerClaw* · 08-14-2013, 02:03 PM

More humanoid? That explains the height differences, Because we all seen those photos of Raphael in the trenchcoat and fedora and commented on how big he looked. So its possible the Turtles will be just about the same height as an average human being

*chrisdude* · 08-14-2013, 02:25 PM

I've been saying they'd look humanoid since the cast those huge dudes with stereotypical faces of the turtles' archetypes. - But that was only because it made perfect sense. Now we have "sources."

I think we're gonna get something akin to Lizard from The Amazing Spider-Man. Maybe even more human than that. I really don't think they hired those faces to totally mask them.

It mentions that they are still recognizable, So they gotta have the Turtle faces, Now we seen what those Turtles face would look like done in a realistic style. Take the new game Out of the Shadows that's coming out as an example. They depicted the Turtles in a more realistic fashion.

*Sabacooza* · 08-14-2013, 06:35 PM

For the love of all things holy please no humanoid faces. That would totally ruin it for me not that all this dreadful news hasn't almost done it already. Humanoid bodies are fine and I don't think their faces need to be realistically turtle-like either. Maybe somewhere in between realistic and the 1990 movie would work.

One thing I am looking forward to, and there isn't much, are their facial animations. We'll finally get to see some real depth to their emotions.

I just wish they'd throw us a bone. Let us catch a glimpse so we could either throw-up in our mouth or breathe a sigh of relief... I'd rather breathe a sigh of relief.

*CyberCubed* · 08-14-2013, 07:38 PM

So let's see:

- Humanoid faces for the Turtles

- White Shredder

- Turtles possibly still being aliens

- Megan Fox as April

Good god, its like they're purposely trying to make the worst TMNT movie imaginable. This will go down alongside Next mutation as the worst TMNT product ever. Pray for the kids growing up with the Nick show that they don't have to see this abomination.

Bob · 08-14-2013, 07:54 PM

I can deal with the Out of the Shadows look. That's definitely the most "human" and "real" the Turtles have looked up until now. I can't really imagine anything further than that without them looking too humanoid.

You could be right. It's hard to top the awfulness that is the next mutation but the 2014 movie could end up at least making the 3rd movie look like a masterpiece.

*TigerClaw* · 08-14-2013, 09:37 PM

Since they say the Turtles will be more humanoid. I was doing a google search on TMNT artwork to see if I can find an image of the Turtles having a more humanoid like appearance and I found one, Its an old pic, But this could be a good depiction on what Turtles look like with a more humanoid like appearance to them.

Or maybe something like this?

*Sabacooza* · 08-14-2013, 10:29 PM

The only one that looks half decent is Mikey from the first picture and maybe Donnie. The next picture? Hell no!

Technogeek29 · 08-14-2013, 10:34 PM

Hmm when They say realistic this always popped in my mind

*TigerClaw* · 08-14-2013, 10:50 PM

Well, They just said more humanoid. Its really hard to pinpoint what they exactly mean because, the Turtles have always been humanoid. But how much more humanoid can you make them?

Really, their arms and legs are always pretty human. They almost have to mean the face. Unless they have five fingers and toes, or something...

All the sets photos we seen have the actors wearing 3 fingered gloves though. They also describe them being taller. So they'll be just about the same size as the actors in the mocap suits. If those images of Raph in the trenchcoat and fedora are any indication. they'll be the same size as a human. probably 5 to 6 feet tall, who knows.

*chrisdude* · 08-14-2013, 11:58 PM

Yeah, I think the trenchcoat photos probably show exactly how big Raph will be. If they were going to resize him, why not shoot the scene in a mocap suit? Parts of his bandana and face are visible. And in the scenes where Raph is unclothed, he's directly interacting with April, and squeezing into a car door. We don't know what the turtles' heads will be shaped like, but I think it's pretty safe to assume Raphael will be the same height as Alan Ritchson.

I forgot about the gloves. I really only remember seeing them in set pics of Ritchson, but just seeing them once is enough to confirm that the turtles will be three-fingered...

hitmonkey · 08-15-2013, 12:48 AM

I'm guessing it just means that their faces will be more expressive, and they'll have similar traits to their actor counterparts. Take Gollum for example. You can see Andy Serkis in his face, but the character doesn't look human. Same for The Lizard in the last Spider-Man film. It looked like the actor, but not so much that you'd call his appearance "human".

Now, if the Turtles have human noses and hair, then I'm 100% checked out. However, I'm not at all expecting that to happen.

The thing I am worried about most is that Raphs head looked tiny wrapped up in that scarf and hat. I mean he is a huge hulking turtle and his head is that small? I'm hoping it doesn't look funny.

In regards to them being instantly recognisable, it would have to be seriously hard to design and model a big anthropomorphic turtle, wearing a coloured bandanna, wielding weapons and have people not realize what they are supposed to be.

More humanoid could be cool. I just depends which way they have taken it.

To me it looks like his head is a bit odd-shaped, that he has a sort of domish top half and a lower projecting part. If you notice on the actors, they are wearing head gear that has two little white square things sticking forward from their faces, I think this is to show the computer (when adding imagery) where the ends of the faces are supposed to be. If they were just there to get their voices, these little boxes would have been painted matte gray or black.

And the colored headbands with the white squares, are where the tops of the headbands start.

Raphaeline · 08-15-2013, 10:56 AM

I like the fact that they will be taller than usual. I don't like the idea to see them smaller than Megan Fox.

I hope they won't have humanoid faces, but I hope it will look less "cartoon" than in the old movies.

I also hope they will be bulkier than what we see on the shooting pic, because that shell is WAY too big. It's almost "Tennage mutant ninja snails".
