Do we no he is never reference as Oroku Saki or that Oroku Saki isn't in the movie nope

Do we know he is Just a white guy who obsessed with Japanese culture or does he have a major connection that people aren't even trying to find?



And neither was there in the Original movie trailer either.

the difference being that back then we had no reason to think that it wouldn't be. there were visible scenes of the foot looking about the same as they appeared in the comics and it didn't show much of the shredder but there was not reason to assume they changed his race or motivations. this movie on the other hand has made a big deal of casting a caucasian actor in the role and giving him an Americanized version of the originals name and all we've seen of his "clan" so far is walking in military formation with assault rifles with a brief scene of some sword swinging.

you give Hollywood way too much credit. that sounds definitely like something that could happen with the wrong team of filmmakers involved.

Lets not do spiderman marketing which gives away way to much. I love the movie but the marketing was so over board it was counter productive just abo0ut everyone on line agrees with this as well.

Could they have handles thing better sure but there holding their cards closely foir what ever reason they have a reason.

Im sure come Summer June july there will be enough info to keep fans interested. plenty

I just dont want them to push it like Spiderman or xmen are doing

maybe that's the case. I still find it hard to believe that this would be the first summer blockbuster in awhile to hold their cards this close to it chest knowing how many people are either angry at it, underwhelmed by it or have completely written it off. I think that if they thought they had something that could win people over they would be showing it.

also in the 1990 film didnt give shredder a face..he was The Shredder, this is a guy named Eric who somehow is connected to the shredder

the trailers show us his face, something the other movies didnt, they kept that suspense

With everything we have seen zTo me its very reminiscent of 2k3 turtles with hints or mirage IDW, with heavy wolf influences.

sam, really, go watch it without the eyes of a fan, from one friend to another...remove the knowledge from yourself not the trailer


this is what alot of us have issue, there is no brand recognition..it will be a shame if down the line someone can edit all the turtles parts to one youtube 2 minute vid like transformers
