That's what I told my bro before. But it looks like bamboo from the vids and pics. Don't know if it can retract.

I've just decided a negative opinion isn't welcome here and figure I just shouldn't post my thoughts anymore. /shrug

I'd like to see Leo get the focus to start the trilogy, Raph in the film where Casey is introduced, but with a trilogy that leaves Mike or Don in a position of getting the shaft. If a Stockman/mouser focus with Don getting most screen time, that makes Mike comic relief through all three films.

I'd prefer an Avengers approach with a team movie where all of them get screen time. I thought Winter Soldier did a great job of, despite being a Captain America movie, giving good development time to Widow and Falcon and even a bit with Fury.

But Raphael is the "Wolverine" character type and the most anti-hero, so he'll be the primary focus of the films, I suspect. Hollywood loves the bad boy anti-hero and can't seem to think of any other character type being the lead.

In the shot of him fighting the foot with mikey it looks to have a yellowish tint, then in the mountain slope scene it appears to look more like his traditional Bo. I'm not really sure maybe he has more than one?

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

Awesome! Nice to see some new footage.

Wish they wouldn't keep using that mask joke in all the trailers so far.

Show us a completely new trailer, maybe the Turtles talking to each other?

[Sewer Sirens Podcast]

I have a feeling we'll be getting character posters soon ... At least before the next trailer.

[Kanon]

The new scenes are great!
I just watched the "new" trailer and I am so going to watch this movie with a big bucket of popcorn and a big smile on my face in cinema!

The only thing that disturbs me are Dons Nerd-glasses.
They look like the ones of my grandmother......honestly they are exact the same.....

because there oblivious idiots who dont f*cken listen to a god damn thing we say, the CLEAR WORST part of the first trailer was angelo's last scene.. all we did was bitch about it..

so because these guys are morons who dont know what the f*ck there doing and dont bother listening to us they just gave us the same trailer with a couple extra shots and thats it, this is what happens when your stupid and youre making a turtles movie..

when youre anti social like these idiots and live in your bubble without listening to the public u get results like this..

i am more pumped about this movie though.. the scenes they did add got me more going now so thats a positive, but yea that end scene really kills the buzz of the trailer

[AquaParade]

This film keep's looking weirder and weirder. I'm loving how shockingly strange every new picture revealed is. That image of Donatello with his mouth wide open is so captivating and fresh to the franchise.

I have to say, this trailer was nothing I was expecting it to be. I figured the negative reactions sparked by the previous footage would have led to them throwing in a lot more non-turtles footage to pull focus away from people complaining about the redesigns. I also figured they would feature the Splinter narration, because it covers familiar territory while the Shredder version heavily features the changes this movie will be bringing.

Basically, I was expecting them to put out a trailer that would be trying to play down the aspects that are drawing criticism and play up the parts they're doing right. We got the exact opposite of that. We got a better, longer look at those controversial redesigns, and not much else.

One thing's for sure, they're certainly not worried about bad press. They're not adjusting their marketing strategy to deflect criticism whatsoever.

Seriously.

And, as I've noted before, everything controversial about this movie was placed front-and-center in the first trailer. They managed to present Megan Fox, show how big and powerful the turtles are, give a close and unmasked look at a turtle's face, show the militarized enemy that people will probably deduce is The Foot, hint at a white man being Shredder, and hint at changes in the origin. It's like they're whole strategy is to highlight what's different. And this trailer just doubles down on it.

And that's what I'm liking about all of this. If there's one thing they absolutely SHOULDN'T be doing, is trying to deceive us into thinking this movie will be one way, when it ends up being totally different. It's awesome how they're owning up to their content, and aren't afraid to showcase it, even if some people may not prefer those changes.

Yeah. That's why it bugs me when I still see people saying that they're probably afraid to show this or that. No. After that first trailer, it's clear that they aren't afraid of anything.

[BabyTurtles]

all I wanted was to see the turtles better XD So I'm happy.

[Radical Raph]

The only turtle I still want to get a better look at is Raph, but otherwise, I'm happy with the designs. I don't think they are ugly like some people say. A little creepy maybe, but these are mutant turtles done in a realistic fashion. I still think they retain a certain amount of the "cuteness" they used to have.

you can say that again. That shot with donny kind of makes him look a little like jar jar binks to me. I'm still not sold on this.This trailer gives us clearer shots of the turtles and my thoughts on them haven't changed. I still think their design is overcomplicated and that they're overall bigger than they should be. Still no hint at the quality of the martial arts action but hopefully thats because they haven't finished the cgi work and not because whoever cut the trailer couldn't find any worth showing. On the subject of donnies nerd glasses anybody thinking they actully have a purpose are unfortunately probably over thinking things.
Based on the past work of this films producer I think its much more likely he has those glasses
for the same reason jetfire had a cane in revenge of the fallen.

You've earned this.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Maybe Donnie needs them when looking at his monitors? He could be far-sighted, and need glasses when looking at things up close..... Just sayin'. Overall, I liked the new shots, but I just wish they'd given us a NEW trailer, instead of just adding a few seconds to the first one to make it longer. More of Raph's and Donnie's voices was nice, though. At least, it seemed like there was more, since they were easier to hear.

Does anyone else think mikey looks badass in the scene where hes putting on his mask.....didnt like the shot of him on the roof with april and used to think leo looked the best.....but now im really thinking it has to go to mikey....then raph....then leo...

Which makes me wonder if there's a scene, Where we see the 4 Turtles without the Bandanas, and then we see each of them putting them on as they prepare for battle.
