Should the Turtles swear in the new movie? - Page 8

*Shiro Kame* · 09-04-2013, 11:07 AM

I don't think they should swear. I mean, kids who watch the cartoon are going to want to see the movie. Their parents would probably object to the language and wouldn't let them see it.

You're right. There's probably some fetuses in parents' wombs that might enjoy listening to the movie too, at least... probably they should save it for everybody and rate it G.

I'm guessing we grew up watching the same George Carlin tapes, sir.

Not trying to be offensive (and I know I'm taking this conversation too deep

), but I find it a bit intriguing that some who don't mind using profanity/swearing casually still would use it against others, thinking it would cause some form of insult or hurt. If the speaker or even the recipients have been that accustomed to it, then why bother using profanity at all? The "forbidden" or "tabooish" aspect of it is completely watered down. By then, saying the f-word would make just as much of an impact as saying fiddlesticks.

It completely blurs away the social defining lines of "decency" and "obscenities", on top of that, it makes it all the more difficult for the recipient to gauge, or even take the speaker's emotional hatred seriously if the most extreme spiteful words are used to a desensitizing degree.

This is all curiosity on my part, not any form of condescension.

All I know is that "Archer" is the best show on TV right now.

It appears the movie may have some swearing, The Motion Poster for Donatello has a scene of him looking at a 3d hologram and saying. "Allow ME to be the badass for Once."

Yeah and they said S**t a few times too.

Also in that tv spot yesterday it sounded like Mikey said hell but I could be wrong.

They can but only once.

Case and point when the brilliant scientists of Hollywood decided to make the last 2 Die Hard movies PG-13's in order to sell more tickets and people were wondering if John McClane's trademark catchphrase "Yippie Kai Yai Mother****er" would have been included in the film. The MPAA allowed but it one time only.

Yeah, it was in there.
I hope Raph drops the F-Bomb when he first sees Shredder.

you are wrong sir. the Brooklyn Nine-Nine. no contest.

UGHShellshocked · 07-10-2014, 11:10 AM

The way I see it the words are just words. I was brought up watching R-Rated films and my Mother and I would go to see them at the theaters where a few times the ticket taker would be concerned about my attendance "Maam you do know this movie has profanity and violence in it?" and my Mother would usually say "yes I know but I raised my boy and he knows right from wrong, he knows how to separate fantasy from reality. He knows profanity is not to be used in public"

I've never got wrote up at school once. Its really how you raise your kids.

raphmike · 07-10-2014, 12:28 PM

samething power rangers turbo movie only one swear word divatox say
"h bell what gonna on now."

*Vicky82* · 07-10-2014, 02:38 PM

I don't really consider badass a swear word but its's not a word I say out in public so more of a minor cuss word.

As it looks like it's going to be a 12A (PG 13) movie it be more focused on how violent it is and how much swearing there is going to be in it, their certainly won't be any nudity in it (I hope not anyway) So they can make it as violent as possible. But I do wonder if any blood/injuries will be shown.

I remember reading the 1st Avengers film was almost a R rated film.

You know, while one would expect Raph the most, I think it would be more hilarious if it were Mikey or Donnie.

And to answer the OP's question. Uh, f u///c//**k yeah they should swear. Not like a sailor, but like a typical teenager. Maybe something similar to what we got in Goonies. The kids in there said shiat, sonuvabitch and dammit.

you guys do realize if the turtles swear a bunch and drop fbombs its going to create a huge parent backlash and outcry

I seriously doubt it, Transformers and even Marvel films like X-Men ect have said the F word.

Even if they do say the F word it will only used once (and maybe a couple of S words too) in a 12A (PG13) film. As I said before it be more focused on how violent it is.

*The Boston Ninja Turtle* · 07-10-2014, 03:04 PM

but Turtles isnt any of those

they have a current major high up kids show...parents are protective...anything that could harm little timmy is bad

you think the negative people on this movie speak volumes wait till angry parent groups show up

Transformers is up near TMNT ok maybe not as big fanbase as TMNT but they have had lot's of cartoons, Toys, Comics ect over the years since the 80s.
