how do you think he would handle fixing his glasses? J/W

Still can't get over my friend's question....

"Why is Johnny 5 behind Donatello?"

Don's design is way too busy. He has 2 headphones, 2 cellphones, 2 cameras.. did the dude that created this look loved the number 2 or something?

And when mike puts his mask on his ... pecks move. Is that armor he is wearing?

I would think a guy smart enough to create rocket skateboards would be smart enough those glasses with the frames that dont break.

He could take the lens and make a brand new pair (if he can make all of that stuff in those pics of the lair like the set-up with all of those TV's, the Turtle Van, all that stuff on his back...then he can weld/make a new pair of frames to put the lens of the glasses in). Or a special brand of Goggles. Or just weld the middle part instead of just taping it, or various other/creative ways that Donnie would figure it out since he is a Genius Scientist.

Of course, to be honest, I would nix the whole 'Glasses' idea from the get go.

or you know he could quickly duct tape the plastic frames in the middle and move onto something a little more important then spending hours wielding new frames lol.

Yeah, because the Main Item that helps him See Clearly, especially as a Martial Artist being trained to protect himself and his family, is not that important...

But hey, if not being able to see that well during a battle/fight (and if you are training for years and years, you know that sooner or later you'll have to protect yourself let alone your family) because of your flimsy glasses that are just put together by tape isn't That important, then I guess I am just mistaken.

its not that its not important but if fixing it with tape does the job and can be done quickly then why waist time trying to build something else? yup cuz his glasses look oh so flimsy to me lol.


who knows maybe there is a scene where April gives him a custom pair at the end lol

You 'waste time' so that they don't break easily in the future, or so that the 'flimsy glasses' won't fly off or so that he doesn't pull a "Jinkies My Glasses" or whatever during an Important Moment (like a battle to protect himself/his family).

The same reason he 'wastes his time' building all of that stuff that's on his back, and in the lair, and so on.

[The Turtle Terminator]

It was my fave trailer. Nice to see the close-ups of the turtles and Shredder

maybe he had more then reinforced the bridge enough to be satisfactory. If you look closely if they are an average black framed glasses the bridge would need to be widened For his particular head shape. so He finds Glasses that help breaks the bridge melts plastics in-between to add more distance to fit his face, then reinforces it with thin metal strips, then for safe measure adds duct tape to secure everything in its place and add reinforcement

I get why you think its stupid it makes him look like a stereotypical nerd, but to say that he is so smart that he would never have taped glasses is ridiculous.

Lets face it, if he actually needed something he would make his own contact-like lenses because the glasses would probably fall off during fighting/training. But the real question is why are we worrying so much about it. It's not a biggie

Simple. I've already mentioned all the big stuff that bothers me about the new flick probably about 50 times (the designs, severe lack of any footage of any Martial Arts Fighting, seeming strange that if Raph is the Main Turtle that most think he will be...that he isn't the one being featured more in the trailers and such) so it's on to the nitpicking stuff.

[Technogeek29]

Now now everyone we don't want a repeat of last times fiasco with this part of the site.

I hear you. I kinda want Leo to have the most focus in this one, but it will be what it is I guess

Def think that was Raphael.

It's really funny all the hating thing goes in for this, and while I would have made more appealing visual choices and different scale issues and I wasn't on board with the casting/changes, all the negativity just makes me want to see it more. Maybe Donnie just can't see that good and there will be reasoning behind things he has, and I don't see the tape as much a nerdy thing as a fact this his head is too big for them. Hell, I know a lot of people with glasses and if they broke and they didn't want to go buy new ones or taped them together for any reason I'd think its punk as shiz.

I mean I def think they dropped the ball on this, don't get me wrong. And maybe their plan is working and I am warming up to it, but it really doesn't seem that bad. Plus I honestly think that new shot of Raph is pretty sweet looking. It doesn't look like the movie that I thought we'd get, and maybe that's a good thing because it will be something new and different.

For the record, I do think Raph looks badass. He's pretty much the Call of Duty of turtles, so if I had to guess, the Liebsman/Bay camp are probably making him the main focus.

*Shredder does some actual fighting
*There are scenes where I giggle a bit and think ("okay, that was pretty bad ass)
*There is actually "Ninja-Esq" things happening
**Wishful thinking that would automatically earn more respect from me- A live action mouser, even if it is a post credit scene or a set up to the next I WANT IT!

- Definitely
- Probably
- Absolutely
- Eh, maybe
- It's not looking good, bro
- For sure
- Also not looking good
- Now you're just pushing it

Trailer 2 and still nothing about either trailer has changed my mind.
Still a wasted opportunity, and still looks like John Carter

I'm really not seeing the gap tooth?

Shame they recycled most of the first trailer, I really thought I was watching the wrong thing to begin with. Mikey looks pretty awesome in his new shot, but still not loving the new designs. I'm watching this on my phone with a pretty poor signal so quite pixellly, I can see Raph looking badass wearing Leo's swords, but I'm not seeing the nunchucks like others have said. Where are they? Oh, I quite like Don wearing the glasses, doesn't bother me at all, but I don't really get the proton pack.

Has me puzzled. This trailer is the best yet.

But the face designs are still killing it for me. It looks like Shrek's kids finally grew up and were adopted by a rat teaching them Ninjitsu

I can't see what your talking about, can you screen cap?

I think he means this:



Looks like Raph wearing Leo's swords... A couple of people have said that they can see nunchucks too, but I'm not seeing any?


Also, I can't be the only one thinking this?
