TMNT Modern Movie Elements

OrokuYoshiFilms · 06-26-2013, 11:53 PM

I was just "ponnnnnnnndering", what kind of modern societal elements will/should the film makers try to touch on in the new movie? For example, in the first movie they did the whole "troubled teen/teenage angst" thing with Danny. A lot's changed since the last live-action film so there's a lot to play with here....what do you think?

*Powder* · 06-26-2013, 11:55 PM

Donatello will question his gender identity.

Psh, yeah, and they can incorporate some of Michelangelo's cross-dressing habit, while they're at it.

OrokuYoshiFilms · 06-27-2013, 09:04 AM

I can't tell if you guys are serious, or.........? So I've come up with one serious and one goof..

Serious:
Maybe Donatello wants to explore more of the world on an intellectual level instead of doing the ninja thing forever. Maybe he wants to apply for college or something.

Goof:
How about Splinter gets Catfished by a fake Tang Shen...?

Seriously, in Donny went to college, he would probably be dissected!

More focus on their animal aspects, they are animals mutated to human-like creatures, not the other way around.

Cryomancer · 06-29-2013, 06:46 AM

Donatello did go to college in the OT, by mail or something? It ended up being a scam with a villain of the day, but yeah. Nowadays he could do online courses anyway. Totally a doable thing and something that would fall in line with his character well I think.

We've already seen Mikey into social media on the Nick show, won't be surprised if that becomes a common thing in the future for him. Lets him write and socialize without being seen and all that.

Or his drug addiction. That would make a much better modern plot.

Splinter dies of old age leaving the boys to figure out things on their own.

Mikey is a 346 lb pizza eating fatty who needs help.

Raph starts taking pills to balance his mood swings becomes the nice one

One of Donnies experiments go wrong accidentally killing April leaving him emotionally scared.

Leo becomes a real a$$hole.... what? Thats it.

marcelangelo · 06-30-2013, 04:24 AM

I wouldn t support donnie studying at a university...I see your point but I think he wouldnt need that.why gather human knowledge like all the rest here?he is a scientific wonder for gods sake...anything he ever imagines is beyond anything we would have to offer for him...I know many universities have incrdible access to special researches and what not but I just wish they stay among one another..

Good Point

Maybe Donnie's intellectual curiosity expands to things like medicine, or law, or maybe he just wants to have credentials to work in his field with other people.

I'm feelin' @Snakeweed101 idea....that would instantly make it R rated though.

That's a great idea! But Leo's already an a$$hole.

If anyone, I'd expect Raph to fall into that.

None. Expect the safest, lowest-common-denominator fluff you can.

When I read this title, though, I thought you'd be asking about elements of modern movies, in which case my answer was going to be, "So much damn slow-mo."

I can already see it as a filler episode. Each of the ninja turtles gradually start becoming interested being home school with the use of the internet. Starting with Donatello and ending with Raphael, because out of all of them he would be most resistant of the idea being home school.

That... Doesn't really make sense...

By earning a credential/degree in a field of study, he has the chance of working with other people who share the same interest in that field. In most cases you have to have earned a degree in the field to work in the field.

Remember how in Secret of the Ooze Donnie seemed so impressed with Prof. Perry's work and was thrilled at the opportunity of working with him and finding out more about the ooze? I'm saying he wants to earn a degree to have the chance to work with other scientific minds.
