Yeah... what's the argument here?

I really liked the maquettes, they gave me hope. This poster, though? Fear. They're disgusting. Those black lips, noses, tiny eyes, ten pounds of gear, absolutely terrible. They took fan art to the extreme and made it even MORE over the top. LESS IS MORE.

Also, are there no competent graphic design guys anymore? Look how absolutely terrible Raph & Leo's arms are photoshopped in. Someone was paid to put this together. Paid money.

Challenge to anyone interested: Make that poster not suck. Photoshop, digital re-imaging. whatever it takes. You may earn a nice payday from the movie production crew to actually make the turtles look more decent.

Not really, there are a lot more people now who are looking forward to this movie including me. The promo and maquette gave us some sense of hope!

A friend of mine I showed the poster to told me the turtles faces almost looked like black stereotypes to him. Looking particularly at Mikey, I can't unsee it myself now.

Paid money? Naw - interns man... unpaid interns.

The VFX economy is seriously hobbled right now. That poster is what happens when they put cost above art.

April's a teenager in the Nick cartoon, not a fully-grown woman. The vast majority of the time, the Turtles are portayed as shorter than her.

Why is everyone complaining about the taped up glasses?

A mutated turtle needs to have perfect vision?

You guys, think about it. Donatello's head is wider than a normal human head. Didn't it occur to anyone that since obviously they don't make extra wide glasses for a mutant turtle head, maybe Donatello broke the glasses in the middle and extended the bridge with tape so that the lenses are an appropriate length apart so he can see out of them?

If you ask me, that seems like a far more reasonable explanation about the glasses.

you missed the point it's not that he has glasses, it's that he is a nerd stereotype...

I had a small glimmer of hope when those maquette pics got out because it didn't look terrible. This poster took me right back down. They look terrible. Way too monstrous. And come on, taped glasses? Give me a freakin' break.

Speaking for myself, I don't care about the logic behind it. I don't like it because it's just more overdesigned nonsense. He's already got all the busy tech gear and whatnot. Sometimes less is more. Bandanas and a few leather accessories has worked for the Turtles for ages. I'm not saying they should have to be captive to that design entirely, but it seems like they intentionally went too far in the other direction. These Turtles remind me of those desperate redesigns you see all the time on Deviant Art.

Yep, that was the wrong thread - you got me!
Here's a picture - read the stats on the side.
Raphael: Height - 4'6"



You're right, the height isn't consistent, sure, but for the most part they're short...under 6', and in short, I think they should be...short.

What's the problem?

I'm not too concerned about the nostrils. Real turtles have nostrils.
