Only the Creature designer.

Would be interesting to read what he was thinking and line of reasoning doing the creature designs, or if he was guided by others.

I second this notion.

I imagine it'll be hard to post normally on these boards because he was immersed in the film for so long. Even making simple comments might come across biased as a designer when in truth he is speaking as a fan. Time will tell. It's cool see production members on the board, I wonder if others will follow.

maybe i am spoiled, i was part of Rangerboard for almost 2 years before i joined this one and ranger actors join that all the time

Muppet central has had Muppeteers and writers join all the time too

i mean i am sure he is a fan but him being here won't sell me on a movie i am already iffy on, maybe he can shed light on some issues i have but it wont change my mind

edit: misread thought noel signed up

Yeah I agree it's not a big woo hoo for me either, but it might be interesting to hear about why certain decisions were made regarding the look and wardrobes of the turtles. However, he probably can't say anything until the movie comes out.

Who is he? Whats his profile name on here? Im curious too. Im one of the people that LOVE the new designs. I think doing something extremely controversial was deliberate in this case and was successful in terms of attracting attention to the film. 31.4 million trailer views in one week.. Id love to pick his brain lol. He might be busy in post..

That's not the official page for the film. The official page is (TMNT Movie) and it has 157k and it just joined Facebook about three weeks ago.

Dont get me wrong, you are right, people shouldn't be so dismissive because its relatively unknown - BUT, I'm hoping that actually works to its advantage, getting people interested in the original source material AND affording them the opportunity to approach the film with no expectations, just ready to have a good time.

Disagree. I am the general audience, and I never heard of Ironman before. I never heard of Captain America either. Black Widow, Shield, Hawkeye. None of those. Only comic book characters I know before the movies ever came out were TMNT, Batman, Superman, and their respective characters within their movies. And maybe Hulk, because of the TV show and Thor, thanks to Aventures in Babysitting. I am also familiar with He-Man, She-Ra, Wonder Woman. I also never heard of X-Men before the movies came out, never knew about the cartoons, characters and whatnot, and the only comic book cartoon I ever watched, ever, and knew of it, was TMNT.

No it didn't. It joined Facebook a year ago. April 4th, 2013. And GOTG still has more likes for an unknown property! Face it, come August, GOTG is going to be on all of the magazine covers, all of the tv, internet, everywhere.

it joined in 2013 but its first ever post was in march of this year same for GOTG it was created in 2012 but didnt start promoting the film till much later many post were fro other marvel movies.

We dont know that TMNT wont have a push like every other movie either with in a month its had two trailer several movie poster (cinema con and weapon posters) a tumblr page twitter page and facebook page. Many of these thing were most likely registered long ago but only just recently started posting

Well i stand corrected on the year im sorry about that. But 157k is not what you posted. That's all i was saying so you can calm down ok my friend lol. Its not a pissing contest no need for childish responses. That kind of stuff wont be tolerated on this forum any longer.

What are you talking about? Only one being hostile on this site is you. I'm not using any vulgar language or insults on here. It's not my thing. I'm just stating facts. The thread is called, Has GOTG already won August?, and everyday, I see incidents that points that it has. And marketing hasn't even begun, and GOTG has Disney and Marvel to back it up. Sure, it could flop because it might be way too corny for people, but I'm just going with my gut instinct. People may not know who GOTG is now, but come X-Mas time, I'm pretty sure they will be right up there with Ironman. Rocket alone is going to sell bucket loads in merchandise. I'm waiting for my T-shirt from Amazon now.

I own this. I love it so.

Really? REALLY? Nothing in her post was either childish or offensive, don't be that douche who goes all high and mighty with their passive aggressive behavior. Especially when there was nothing to get all riled up about.

Who is riled up? I am just fine, it was over and you had to come and continue it? Is this High school ? You couldnt send a PM? He wrote something False, i respectfully corrected him. He responded like a child with the whole " Face it! GOTG has more likes and is going to be on everything and everywhere " with a cute little smiley face with its tongue sticking out. It was unnecessary troll like behavior. I apologized for my mistake and it is over. I know your doing the " i got your back " thing sticking up for your forum friend but it is again unnecessary. I am not a " douche". There is nothing high and mighty or difficult about treating other people with civility and respect. From now on i wont correct any falsehoods when i see them if people are going to get snarky ok? Now we can end this and get back on topic please. If you still have a grip with me you can PM me.

Anyway, I recently found a great new GOTG panel for my Facebook cover photo:

The first time I heard about GOTG was in this forum.
I think it`s not that popular over here.

That's pretty cool. I really should check out some of their comics.

They're not that popular anywhere, really. Unlike the other Marvel movies that are based on characters that have been around for about half a century, the version of the GotG we'll be seeing in the movie only dates back to 2008. As far as cape comics are concerned, they're brand new. It would be an outright miracle for them to rise to the level of household name in such a short time from comic books alone.

Actually, the Guardians team has existed since 1969. Well, the older one with Yondu etc. But Rocket Raccoon, Groot and Star Lord have been around since the 70s. So you're kinda right but kinda wrong.
