Let's pretend for a minute that the turtles were played by four nude men in body paint, the film is a horror comedy, Leo is serial rapist and instead of mutating as a result of ooze, they were magically transformed by eating a cursed tuna sandwich. I'm guessing you wouldn't like that, even if you only knew all this from seeing a short teaser, because it sounds terrible, and even if you haven't seem the entire film, you already know that what you have seen you hate so much that you can't imagine enjoying the film. That's how it feels to me when I see the turtles in hideous character designs, clothes that reduce them to stereotypes, an airhead actress, both major Japanese characters played by white men, and a director with an absolutely abysmal track record. This is not what I want from a Ninja Turtles movie. This is not the new direction I want the franchise to go, because I'll be forced to stop supporting it and stick with only my love of previous TMNT projects. So yeah, I feel fine saying I hope this film does poorly, because it's pretty reasonable to for me to expect that I won't enjoy this film, and I don't want to see more projects like it. It's possible I may eventually watch the film and find out that it was a good movie despite all the things I hate, but they chose to show me what I've seen, and I'm making my decision based on the information available to me. I'm in no way obligated to support this film before making a decision about it, and buying a ticket would be supporting this film.
So can we please stop this childish "butthurt" business?

My bad bro . I definitely don't wanna start that BS again. Maybe should've worded it different. Sorry. I'm just really excited for the movie. By no means did I mean to start anything. No trolling over here fam. Sorry.
