The Special_Edition Movie Novelization

[Hannurdock]

Has anyone else read this?

I have to commend the author in trying to 'fix' some of the obvious plot holes but do things have to be so dumbed down so much so the kids can 'get it'? I remember the novel from the 1990 movie which is a favourite, even now.

I think there were some glaring errors, from writing about the guys that a novice in fanfiction would have addressed.

A katana sword was strapped to his waist."

Okay, so we already have an obvious problem here. Especially when the author changes her mind to Leo having two swords later.

"Leo, why we even talking about this primate?" Raph said harshly. "Mike, toss her off the roof."

This is so out of character for Raphael.
Firstly, he's not a murderer. He has never referred to humans as primates. Ever. This is not his MO. And ... he orders Mike to toss her off the roof? Why couldn't he do it himself? In one swift sentence he's just condemned baby bro to become the executioner of the team.

That is just page 25. I have more to share but I just want to digest what I've read. I got through the entire novella in an hour.
