The designs of the Turtles is proof to never trust Kevin Eastman

[Raphael232]

I been a fan since the original cartoon and I have no problem with these turtles. Plus I believe they will look better in action. I am more worried about the story.

I feel I can say with near complete certainty that the people here who DON'T like how they look are not just saying that because of crowd mentality or peer pressure.

You're the one that assumed it was about you, now what's that say about your character bruh?

Haha exactly. There's good reason.

Now you know you've always loved chicken in the past, and you're open to new things as it's a versatile meat, but this just looks absolutely disgusting, and you know that the means of making it made little sense, were off-putting, and have rarely yielded positive results prior.

You gonna sit there and say "I need to taste this before I can have any reasonable suspicion that it may be horrendous"? Do you need to eat it to know that it at the very least looks bad? Ultimately, even if by some rare chance it's delicious, it's one ugly and haphazardly prepared meal that nobody would be in the wrong to complain about.

Well that's just Super.

Well, when I say it's not perfect, the movie really isn't the turtles' story. It's Splinter's and kind of Casey Jones'. Sure the turtles are the main characters, but when Splinter is captured by The Shredder, he's rescued....by Casey Jones. At the end, there's a fight with The Foot Clan and Shredder gets defeated (in a anticlimactic duel)...but by Splinter and Casey Jones. Casey also loses some sympathy points from me at least when he casually murders the Shredder.

And really, the turtles only got involved in that whole mess because Raph went after his sai.

Would you rather have had the foot kill April in that subway? Haha c'mon man.

Nah. I'm just saying, Raph wouldn't have been there if he wasn't tailing the woman who picked up his sai. If he'd listened when Splinter said it was gone, the lair wouldn't have been found, Splinter wouldn't have been taken, etc, etc...

Besides trolls there's no reason to join a forum unless you have loved this for life really. Unless you're like a new fan and found this and said oh that seems cool or something. There's just an abundance of new recuits that seem to have some here specifically to talk good about the new movie an their designs. And a Kevin Eastman guarantee at this point can be summed up in a praphased quote from a famous movie. "You can crap and a box and write gauranteed on it; it's still crap"

I'm in full agreement. The influx of new members who are singing the praises of the new film screams Platinum dunes/paramount. It's more than obvious.

[chrisdude]

Yeah. You can't take peoples' opinions seriously, if they're new to the Technodrome.

I have to agree with this.

Yeah I know especially that way fellow chucket jumped to defend it when I didn't directly point it at him.

Yeah I get what your saying, that really sets up the whole movie but they were getting bigger odds are they'd have to find a new lair anyway.

Just gotta pick your battles.

[chrisdude]

That was meant to sound ridiculous...

[voltron80]

I love it when people pull the well there's a lot of new people joining up or "you're in the minority" card when people express an opinion different from theirs. I've been a turtles fan since I was 8 years old and stayed a fan I remember searching for turtles sites in that dead period before volume 4 of TMNT and the 2003 show and all these sites had were fan fiction or rumors.

With that being said while I prefer the traditional look the turtles have I'm not going on the whining path some have taken with the turtles since the movie images got leaked either. I viewed it as this they're suppose be real-life turtles getting mutated into humanoid form and real turtles aren't that cute or cuddly. Donnie, Mike and Leo look fine, Raph hmm I hope they touch him up before launching a trailer.

As for clothes it will be weird seeing them wearing pants and foot wear or in Raph's case a do-rag style mask and loin cloth. Since people are calling out fans because folks happen to like the design I have to take those who want this movie to bomb to task. I'm all about keeping the turtles relevant for long as possible. So yeah I want this movie to do well it adds to the success the show and the comic book series are enjoying. And if this movie sucks, it's not like Paramount is going to rush out to do a more traditional "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" flick next year. It's going be a long while before they touch a turtles movie again.

Lastly this whole debate remains me of the DmC debate last year old Dante fans were complaining about the look and the game went on and got good reviews and the only game in the Devil May Cry series that did better than the reboot was the first game.

[turtlefanforever]

Devil may cry 2 was my favorite. Used to play it on ps2 all the time. Anyways I like the new hipster trend of defending the new film. It's matching the designs o the new film. Utterly hilarious.

Most Devil May Cry fans would tell you DMC 2 was the worst of the four games, that's one. Two it seems people rather be right about this movie sucking than hoping for a good movie.

Devil may cry 2 really let you play, while still keeping a serious tone. You could have fun with it. And no people are voicing their actual opinions. No fan would ever want a horrible turtles movie. We just gonna accept what is.

No.

Most of us are just not going to delude ourselves into saying anything about this movie looks good save for one or two things.

I'll give you an example from my point of view:

I love Godzilla. I've been a Godzilla fan for a long time. When I found out they were making a new american Godzilla movie, I was skeptical. But I waited for more info.

Found out who was directing. Liked the choice.

Found out some casting, mostly liked the choices(Cranston and Watanabe excite me more than the other two, but I don't hate the other two).

Saw some images, the amazing Godzilla encounter at SDCC, the awesome viral marketing. The amazing concept trailer with the dark tone and then the fantastic actual trailer.

95% of what I've seen of the new Godzilla movie has me incredibly excited to see it and all signs point to it being a very good movie.

This Turtles movie has given me the complete opposite experience.

I've loved the Turtles literally all my life.

First I found out who was involved. Michael Bay and then Jonathan Liebesman. Neither of them very good.

Then I found out the Turtles were going to be aliens from another dimension. That rightfully pissed everybody off, and, hopefully, they changed it back to what it should be.

Then the casting started rolling in. Megan Fox as April. Terrible. Will Arnett as Vernon, which meant Vernon was getting a lot of screen time. Bummer. Less time to focus on the TITLE CHARACTERS.

Then Danny Woodburn as Splinter and William Fichtner as white, possibly military related Shredder. Even worse than Megan Fox as April.

Rumors of the Turtles' and Shredder's designs started sparking, and they didn't sound good. Not a single official thing released from the movie, and now it's only 6 months away. Again, not good.

Then the Turtles' designs leaked, more and more. They were lackluster. Then Shredder leaked and it was terrible.

And here we are.


It's the complete opposite of the Godzilla movie experience for me. I love them both, and want things related to them TO SUCCEED and BE GOOD. But I'm not going to delude myself if they just plain aren't.

I felt the same way about the whole thing except not much of a Godzilla fan, yet that movie looks bad ass based on the trailer. It certainly seems rushed and like he just grabbed a bunch of his buddies together and was like hey let's go shoot this thing. Ya know? That's the vibe I get. And also like he is trying to get as many name actors as possible

I'm not in the business of changing people's minds if you don't want to see the movie fine I prefer to see things for myself before passing judgement. And again using The Devil May Cry reboot as the latest example of fan boy outrage gone wrong, from the first image of Dante being leaked the one he's taking a mug shot to the first trailer all fans did was bitch and complained. Game came out and those very vocal classic Dante loyalists got quite because what they said didn't match what the end product turned out what they claimed.

It seems the real hipster thing on the internet is trash Megan Fox, because she's the only bad actress in Hollywood, and for Danny Woodburn Master Splinter has always been voiced by a Japanese men just ask Kevin Clash and James Murray.If we're going by directors while Steve Barron directed the first turtles movie and tons of great music videos he also directed "Coneheads"just saying. And an Ninja never fought paramilitary guys expect for Ninja Gaiden Sigma, Ninja Gaiden Sigma 2 and Ninja Gaiden 3.or American Ninja, Ninja Assassin(the scene post Raizo getting arrested and the last action sequence) and that sequel to Ninja on Netflix.

We still haven't seen one trailer with these guys in action yet but **** it the movie is doom, it's the "Plan 9 from Outer Space" of comic book movies. Just saying have an open mind and if you're right then you're right take your victory lap or if this movie turns out alright then every fan wins, and isn't that more important?
