Firstly generalizing in this way is flowed as the reason(s) I dislike the upcoming may be different to another person who also disliked the upcoming movie. So you're bound to get variety in the arguments against.

If anything the movies boosters are easy to group together but in debating this I've heard way contradictory defenses from the "pro" crowd in defending the movies various choices that I'd say are hypocritical.

Also...I kid you not...I've been accused of being a plant for Disney to disparage this movie even though I've been posting here for years.



Well obviously not but there'd still be a fair amount. You see a movie with a similar appeal comparisons are bound to come up. I can't help but look at how Rocket looks like the comic character come to life and then look at the turtles and think "why can't it be like that for TMNT?". I'd be thinking that regardless of when GOTG was released.



That's not true at all otherwise other versions of the TMNT wouldn't have found an audience.

There's acceptable change and unacceptable change. Obviously there's no manual to say how far you can take it before fans dislike it but again I can't help but think other franchises managing this fairly well.

The hypocrisy comes in the form of anti movie posters can talk their mess to pro-movie posters but when someone pushes back on the anti flick people then you see post about "respect my opinion" and "we all got different taste". But then the anti movie folks have short-term memory lost and that's ok. Again I never told the anti people they gotta love the movie only closet thing I ever say was I find it odd that people who call themselves turtles fans wanting this movie to fail because it's different. I didn't think Spider-Man needed a reboot but I didn't root for "The Amazing Spider-Man" to fail.

As for Guardians it looks like a generic sci-fi movie heavily banking on two things pop culture references that will make the nerds and the Marvel marks giggle in their seats and the Marvel brand where people are going to see this movie to see if there are Avengers connections.
As for the Turtles I look at each criticism and the only one that has merit is the design part I didn't believe they need to leave from what we're used to i.e. brown belts with brown knee and elbow pads. If the turtles had their traditional outfits and still look the way they do in the movie people wouldn't say much. But their personalities are still there, there is a Japanese Shredder(probably) and they're mutants. Everything else is just noise on the we hate this movie front.
