Think of it being like the ring in LOTR every time one puts it on they become even more addicted to it.

I can totally live with Saki basically being a God or his ancient spiritual guidance or whatever you want to call it. Maybe Sach's is a good guy but he's obsessed with the original Shredder and he happens to have a lot of cash to use and creates a mess. I really don't know what the heck is going on. It's annoying but suspenseful/exciting at the same time.

As puddinpop said, you can tell how much work went into this, to try and make real world analogs of these turtles, they've gone to a lot trouble. They've taken the concept "mutants living in the sewers, making use of what they find" and made exactly that. All my TMNT redesigns over the years have been similar to this. I think its natural to want to take a literal 2d character and imbue it with personal traits.

Terrible stuff. I had thought that whether they pull some kind of weird twist with Splinter was going to be the decider for me but...those faces, that Donatello face, that...everything. It all looks terrible.

Making Saki an evil spiritual possession makes him a better villain in my book, imagine if the armor is indestructible and regardless if you destroy the man in the suit the Shredder will live on forever.

I agree its annoying but very exciting that we are seeing a big screen rendition of the Turtles in 2014, its been too long.

Yeah, it's the beak. it's too squarish. The Turtles usually have quite rounded beaks.

So i was rewatching the trailer and 2 things really stood out to me


first the bad: in the subway someone gets rag dolled at the wall and would clearly be dead


and second


anyone think they are trying/going to combine the baxter back story and reporter backstory for april?

Probably in the sequel.

I just rewatched it for the billionth time it seems and you are right someone would be dead from that ragdoll, the person is Karai, then there is a unknown foot soldier who gets ragdolled into the ceiling.

You mean they are going to have April work an extra job? Shes a full time reporter part time scientist? (I almost had a chuckle fit thinking about Megan Fox doing science)

[The Boston Ninja Turtle]

What I mean by combine the stories is just from what I have heard on the teasers .

We know her dad and shredder worked together at tcri on what we can assume is the ooze ( Baxter connection)

But we know April her self in this story is following the reporter story route

So in a way she still has ties to the ooze and Baxter yet is still a reporter

The crazy part is If this was just a fan creation On a big budget block bust it would be fine "awe man the an awesome new take on the turtle"
"i like this realistic approach"
"it cool to see something like this"
(all Similar comments I've seen on ten tons of differen Reventions and revamped Turtle concepts)

Instead we get alot of
"make it like the 90's costumes"
"why aren'tr they cute"
"why to they have nostrils"
"why to they have lips"
"there to crowed"

Thing that weren't ever and issue in the Fan version are now Pissed on. And really

They guy who help create these concepts HUGE turtle fan Probably spent close to a year or more worth of working to the concepts alone, Hour digitally sketching and modeling and designing. Day in day out HARD WORK, to have a bunch of people (not all but many)
"It not like the old ones change it back"

You never seen comments like that on someone elses art EVER. this is a different turtle Universe it's its own thing. Yeah you can disagree with it but really what loads of people are doing is disagreement is outright Mob mentality BURN IT TO THE GROUND type thinking.

And you could be right sheep.. and if that's the case, i will be seriously disappointed. However if they did nail the personalities of each Turtle it will be a huge win in my book. I just know that " obnoxious" is what a lot of teenagers go for in their attire. I agree its a matter of taste.. I just know that teenagers emotions are very potent at that age and it is very common for them to overdo it and express what they're feeling threw what they wear lol. If they nailed the personalities then these designs could work. I just think " a group of teenage turtle brothers living in a sewer trying to understand life and the world above them dealing with their own emotions and trying to find out who they are" and to me it could be pretty epic if they do it right.. I could be totally wrong too. If they didn't people will see it and call them out till no end.

maybe 3D means more up in close look at them since they are 3D

Wasn't the entire original comic geared towards young adults and not kids???
The tone and style is based on Frank Miller's Ronin and Daredevil work. They even went as far to name the Ninja clan the "Foot" to mimic the Electra ninja organization "The Hand"

So I personally don't believe TMNT is geared solely towards kids
