I do not believe, otherwise, that words were actually ever written on paper, or even a cocktail napkin, to provide any sort of "direction" for these movies.

The first movie was a patchwork collage of three half-formed movies, by the account of the people who worked on it. And there was NO TIME to write a complete script by the time they started shooting the new one.

There's no script. Just a vague idea of what they wanted to see in the movie and how they wanted to get it in there. "Krang, Casey, Bebop and Rocksteady, Turtle Van, Technodrome... great, we got everything we need! Now we just have to edit it into a series of scenes that kind of link together to tell something almost like a story!"

Happens all the time on MUCH bigger movies than this. Just this week, Ryan Reynolds made an offhand quip about how Green Lantern didn't have a script when they started shooting, either. And that was supposed to be a big huge movie. It wasn't, but it was SUPPOSED to be. Maybe if they HAD a script, and a better idea what they needed to do, it could have been better. But they figured they didn't need one because the visuals and fan-service would be enough to get people interested. Sound familiar?

Stop giving people credit for things they didn't do. Those two "geniuses" didn't write some brilliant script. There Was No Script. If there is, show me. Otherwise, no, it was a point-and-shoot rush job that they "fixed" in post-production. Same as the first one.

Yay.



Weird, right? Almost as if they were here for a specific reason. As if someone told them to be here, to carry out a very specific mission. And once it was done, they disappeared en masse. It's almost as if the entire thing was a paid job.

Makes you wonder. Or not. I don't have to wonder, I'm omnipotent.

There was a script. "The Blue Door." After that? Nope. Just "eh, we need to do that a little differently..."

And holy shitt. I feel stupid for not putting 2 and 2 together sooner.
