I would have fired the entire cast and crew, called Steve Barron, and begged him to take the job.

As long as we're doing dream sequences, I'd also take 3 brazillian supermodels, a Rolls-Royce ghost, a Bugatti, 2 tropical islands, and 3 helicopters perched at top my 150,000 square foot Malibu estate.

The uh turtles to humans thing is kinda interesting. Has this been explored before in tmnt history? Ik the turtles always tried making splinter human before like in OT but themselves? Could be decent.

Yes they have but not very well.

I knew, that fingers looked odd, and now I know why: Donnie has 4 middle fingers... all four fingers are from the same length... that's NO human hand.... just a very weird hand with 5 fingers....

With so many other things that bother me. I completely overlooked such a obvious thing.

[IndigoErth]

Yeah, I did notice it a bit ago and bugs me, just very weird that people who probably study a bit of anatomy for use in creating character models would make it that uniform. (And they use their own set to create it, an example is right there! lol)



Since he's opposed to it anyhow, I kind of wish in that scene they'd have had Leo backpedal a little like, "Oh HELL no." Boy knows what he's talking about, that just ain't right.

You know something's gotta be really visually off-putting to stand out from all the rest of the visually off-putting.

Mikey was transformed into a human in the OT. That is the only example that comes to mind as of right now.

Heh, we're talking reshoots to get it on track after outrage, not completely refilming the whole movie.

I still think the book nonsense could be "saved" by revealing it wasn't that he learned from the book so much as reading through it triggered past life memories and go with IDW's version.

Yeah that one episode was the only time I recall it being brought up. And if I'm rememberin it right it wasn't Mikey wanting to be human, shredder tricked him into eating mutagen laced cookies or something like that. Far as I can remember the tmnt have never expressed a desire to be human just to be accepted by them

That's probably the only way to salvage anything, but I guarantee you that you just gave it more thought than they ever did or will.

[Cryomancer]

I can't remember if it was stated outright that he wanted to BE human, but next mutation Michelangelo definitely wanted to at least integrate into human society. The cancelled film of the same title also had him having some kind of "look passingly human temporarily" power or such as a secondary mutation idea, I think.

There are a lot of examples of different turtles participating in human society in secret of course, like Donatello getting a mail-order college degree, or his tech support phone job. Really in the Imagi film at least 3 turtles are effectively secretly acting as humans to some degree.

I don't think the turtles becoming human has been this directly done before, because previous retro-mutagens and whatnot always just threatened to turn them into their original forms and not take them towards more human.

Well now I can't UNsee it.

I found out what they mutate into.

For a second, my brain imagined a Joaquin Phoenix Casey Jones.

It's an improvement.

[DarkLightDragon]

Now they'd have more reason to stay in the shadows.

[Bry]

I mean... marginally.

[IndigoErth]

Dear god.

If the guy who illustrated the old "Scary Stores to Tell in the Dark" book series illustrated the Turtles, this would be it. (Or close, it just needs that drippy ink look and it's perfect.)
