We've already gotten the sci-fi stuff. TMNT 2007 was really sic-fi. The inter-dimensional portals, stone generals and monsters and.... *sigh* ugh. lol. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Kevin Munroe actually tried to do something for the franchise, but that movie was so cheesy and forgettable. Terrible story.

Which is why maybe this new live action movie will do things right, since its borrowing from other elements.

Fichtner being signed on for two more films doesn't mean much if he isn't the true Shredder. I doubt he was paid enough for Paramount to "force" him in the sequel, that's probably not even been thought about yet.

I gotta say...this talk of Utroms actually has me slightly excited for the movie with its possibilities. There hasn't been much regarding this movie that has done that so far.

Honestly there is alot more Sci-Fi in the comics than gritty realism at this point. I say embrace the Sci-Fi, the Mysticism, the Supernatural...not to the point of Justice Force or any other super-hero teams, but to the point that some of these things do exist, and as such ground them in some form of arguable "realism."

Why can't aliens exist without making the movie completely standard science fiction fare? So bring in the Utroms, heck, bring in Leatherhead...don't go Fred Wolf of Nick Turtles overboard with Mutants, but what's the hurt in expanding the Universe to something more than Frank Miller inspired Turtles?

Oh yeah, and definitely a Triceraton, because Triceratons are cool...

Yes, and since ILM is doing the CGI, I can see these turning out pretty sweet.

I would imagine we would see a Justice Force team show up in future sequels, If the Turtles become well known in this world, It could probably inspired other people to become superheroes, Like that one dude from the Nick series.

Well, the alien aspect is probably the only thing that the movie verse has yet to tackle. So, why not?

Huzzah · 03-30-2014, 08:00 PM

I can deal with minimal mutants, aliens, spirits and such...I just really don't want to see this world's versions of superheroes...I never liked seeing them in any version of the series truthfully. Honestly the only time superheroes in the Turtle-verse never bothered me was in the Image run of the series...and that's a horse of a different color there.

@warhorse I know, right? Mo-capped, massive aliens with a Triceratops head courtesy of a major effects guru, beating the crap out of the Turtles could look freakin sweet. Plus, kids still dig dinosaurs...

*TigerClaw* · 03-30-2014, 08:11 PM

The fact to the matter is, I don't want more of the same, I wanna see something different, Which is why I think this film is going more towards scifi.

This is kind of my thoughts as well. If I want something more akin to the original Mirage run in a movie, I still have the original film. I mean the heavy sci-fi element from the comics has never been done on film, so why not go that direction.

Now, if we decide to veer into time-travel again...I want Renet, if she had been part of TMNT 3, I wouldn't have quite as much disdain for it...

I could see a TMNT sequel turning into sort of an alien invasion film when the Triceratons show up on earth.

Here comes the dynamite.

"There are guys who become the Shredder"

"Eric Sachs...or Oroku Saki..so I've read".

Skip to 1:13. It's old but now it makes sense.

With this find, I think this movie has more things to reveal than we expected...

I do not like very much all the sci-fi aspect in the TMNT universe, but they are a big part of the turtle myth, so it will be really a good thing to have a movie based on that!

thanks for sharing!...hmmm..really a lot of things to ponder about before we get to be exposed to new snippets from the actual film...
on topic, I would very much welcome the utroms in this film.I hope they would be portrayed like they were originally written in the eastman and laird books up to vol 4(which is where apart from the fourth or fifth issue of vol 1 you probably get the best view on them)...

your video makes me imagine THIS shredder to be very interested in the exploits of oroku saki, who once wore the mantle of the shredder and now this erich sachs is going to put it on...in my oppinion I think THIS is what he may talk about in the teaser when he says they had in mind to create heroes...I don't necessarily connect that sentence to the turtles at all.I mean it could be understood that way but I hope its deeper than that.he may be talking about their plans to establish the foot..or this paramilitary group, a special ops kinda operation who would not be 'bound' by the law..

hey guys, do you think we'll get a new trailer with cap II?or will they only be showing the teaser in theaters?
by the way, the turtles teaser has been on tv in the news in germany!everybody is hyped about the movie

*Powder* · 03-31-2014, 04:13 AM

If we do get the Utroms I imagine they'll be more in line with that of the 4kids series or IDW comics, depending on whether or not they're evil, I guess.

MastahShredder · 03-31-2014, 04:30 AM

By the sounds of it again..it seems like he doesn't even know what the hell is going on. Hopefully it's not too confusing for the audience. Whatever route they are going with this.

That can't be the Technodrome, could it? and what's on those flags behind him?

I'd say a mountain behind him
