Not being Mirage doesn't have anything to do with it. It will suck cause it's barely anything related to what the Turtles are.

February trailer? I guaranteeeeee it will be a Super Bowl ad.

*TigerClaw* · 11-23-2013, 07:51 PM

Superbowl 48 is on February 2nd. So maybe there's a chance we might see a Superbowl Spot.

And you know this because.... you've read the final script from cover to cover? you've been involved first hand in the filming process? You've had long indebth conversations with the writers and directors? On wait, no, you've only heard the same non-credible, speculative, rumor-mill bs that we all have and decided to take it as scripture.

I understand everyone here is very passionate about the turtles and the outcome of this film, and yes it's possible this movie may be a stinker, but it's also possible it may be very good. All this unmerited bashing does nothing to help the franchises' situation; it only makes things worse. Here's a refreshing new idea...let's ALL wait to cast Judgement on the film until AFTER we've watched it!

The '87 series had barely anything to do with what the Turtles were at that point. Does that mean it sucked?

*Xav* · 11-28-2013, 01:26 PM

Well that's a matter of opinion. A lot of people liked the old show, while others including the franchise creators thought it was too goofy.

That was mostly aimed at Coola because I doubt he thinks it sucks, looking at his avatar.

*CyberCubed* · 12-02-2013, 01:37 AM

The movie will suck because the people making it based everything they know about TMNT from a Wikipedia entry.

*DVD* · 12-02-2013, 03:46 AM

I love how people automatically point fingers and say it'll suck.
The dudes behind this movie have made movies that make millions of dollars and lot of cinema goers happy.
Fresh takes on old ideas are sometimes a relief. I'm not saying I know it'll be great or anything, but I want to be optimistic. I had high hopes for Man of Steel. I really didn't like it. I had no hope for Lone Ranger, skipped the cinema showing and loved the movie when I saw it on a blu ray.
So this jury is out until I leave the cinema in whichever country I see the movie in. Regardless, I'm looking forward to seeing it.

because everyone who ever made a movie off a franchise knew every detail about the source material right?

There probable were a few people who liked the comics and then also liked the 'toon, but probably not a lot - only those with an open mind, and as seen from this forum, those people are hard to come by.

However, it went on to become the most popular incarnation of the Turtles, and this forums itself owes its existence to it.

You'd think after past things like that fans would learn to keep an open mind, especially since they liked the version that completely changed everything.

Some fans on this forum will absolutely hate this movie (and have already made up their minds) but some will like it, and it will probably bring some new fans in. Lots of people probably won't like a different version introducing people to it and it's fandom, as it will give them a different idea of what the turtles are. I might be in the same boat, had it not already been done before. In fact, I'll gladly welcome a change in public opinion of the Turtles.

However different this movie will be, it won't even be close to how different the '87 series was. Even if they do change the origin story, so did the '87 series. And people say it still kept to core of it the same, and it may have a little, but they completely changed the tone and many characters. People see the '87 series as okay because they grew up with it and liked it. I'm not saying it's bad, I'm just saying it was very different - and many people liked that.

LittleBlueHero · 12-03-2013, 01:13 PM

I for one loved the '87 series as well as the movies. Growing up then, the Cartoon got me hooked, the Toys made me obsessed and the movies solidified the idea that the Turtles could be anything I wanted them too be.

Later on I discovered the comics, yet ANOTHER version of the Turtles. Personally I can't wait whenever I hear about a "new" turtles this or that because with each new iteration I just have that much more to enjoy... new universes to discover, new characters to meet old characters are reimagined in ways I never thought possible.

Sure it occasionally isn't for the better, but thats ok it all seems to balance out in the end.

So yeah I am really excited for this movie, to see what possible directions this franchise could be heading and what crazy ideas someone else came up with.

*Plasticplayhouse* · 12-03-2013, 02:30 PM

i grew up with the b&w comic, enjoyed the 87 series for what it was, and LOVED the first movie.

Pretty sure a good portion of people here are trying to be time traveling hipsters.

"I liked the franchise before they went mainstream in the late 80s."

It's either that or they don't attribute any of the series popularity to that breed of the franchise. Still, a terrible mindset to have as popularity > quality when it comes to extending the brand forward.

*chrisdude* · 12-06-2013, 04:56 AM

Michael Bay announced that the "first piece" of Transformers 4 will air during the Super Bowl.

So, that's something...
