Movie (2014) - toys first description!

[HeroTurtlesFan]

Sounds interesting. I'm not adverse to the 'clothing' angle in theory. Nothing here puts me off the movie, I still can't wait to see it!

Black Nerd just posted a new Rant video about the descriptions of the TMNT 2014 toys.

[The Stryker]

Yo. Who cares?

[Cure]

You know how much he just loooooooves Black Nerd.

I'm still excited, what everyone fails to mention is these are toys not post effect images from the movie.
As soon as the trailer is out we'll all laugh at how we mocked the idea of figures in clothes!
The clothes may even just be from a 5 minute scene of the film, I'm waiting for the trailer, I like the transformer films, I like pearl harbour. Bay directs the film and I'm ok with that.

Don't get your hopes up. The clothes are very much a part of it, from what I'm told.

How many times does it need to be said that Michael Bay isn't directing this?

Grumble. I was hoping they'd lose the clothing for some of the fight/action scenes.

totally agree. i've never been a fan of "dressed up" turtles. as i read the details, i will admit the first thing that popped up in my mind was next mutation.... i dont hate much, but the next mutation is one of the things that i hate most i'll keep my fingers crossed that the movie will feel nothing like the NM.

Featured in this film than their actual descriptions. At least you'd know why your getting and I didn't think it was even half bad.

I prefer a cyborg wanna be Donetello anyday. I'm fact we kinda had that already in fast forward

[AquaParade]

I'm a huge fan of the turtles wearing clothing. It not only makes sense that the turtle's would want to express themselves but also can add a bit of that Urban feel to the film, which I am all for.

It's just too bad they couldn't keep them all in red masks. Throw Mikey an orange jacket, Donatello some purple tech/gear, and Give Leo blue eyes or something. Just spitballin here...

Sorry about getting my wires crossed, defending transformers 4 on another forum!

[slingtheory]

this might just be me being a traditionalist fanboy but the tmnt have been mostly naked for 30 years why do they need clothes now. what does that add to the concept? yeah it might help show off their individual personalitys but you know what else does that. good acting. I keep imagining some out of touch executives sitting around a table somewhere wondering how they can make the turtles more edgy and cool and buzzwords and finally one of them goes "oh I know clothes" its like that simpsons episode where they gave Malibu Stacy a new hat

I pretty much agree with anything involving DJ Marky Mark

I feel the same way. You identify by personality, lingo, and orange, blue, purple, red. It's all we needed. I'm with you. I'm willing to give it a chance, cause I have no choice but I'm with you

Same reason that Superman and Batman no longer have trunks after, combined, over a century of having them.

well that's really apples and oranges. superman and batman's underwear on the outside was a leftover from the time period when they were created. somebody decided that in this day and age the trunks were outdated and unnecessary and removed them. and beyond the fact that that's the way we're used to seeing them losing the trunks takes nothing away from the characters. the turtles wearing clothes on the other hand is like adding something unnecessary. what exactly does them being clothed add to the characters beyond making the designs busier and giving the cgi guys more to do. the turtles naked or otherwise would be the same characters so this whole thing seems like some executives superfluous idea of whats" cool". now that's not to say it won't look good in execution. the movies not going to suck because the guys wear clothes now( if it sucks it'll be for a whole bunch of other reasons.) all i'm saying is if they were the way we're used to seeing them it would be the exact same movie.
