It won't come from the visual effects department either!

It's really just not true. He was nominated for awards well before Brokeback. There's a difference between not exclusively being in Oscar bait when you're young and having no discernible acting skills other than pouting, sticking your chest out, and fainting.



So the shot of Shredder's blades coming out and maybe a half second more of Michelangelo and Donatello and the rest is old footage?

Hilarious ain't it?

Compared to the Turtle's usual height yeah that's overly tall.

That clip of Shredder is so disappointing. It's dumb on so many levels like mecha-Rhino and mecha-Silver Samurai.

I think ILM does a great job with all of the movies they work on. The graphics are top notch, even though they're probably unfinished.

All of them have nothing at all to do with how Shredder should be portrayed.

I don't want to hear Iron Man and Mecha Rhino in the same sentence describing Shredder.

I have no problem with mecha suits in general. It has nothing to do with them moving well on screen. It's the idiocy of what they design the suits to do. A mecha suit like the Shredder with ridiculous amount of blades is a dumb weapon choice for a mecha suit. Mecha-Rhino in ASM2 had missiles and firepower out the wazoo, but still charges into battle like a think just because he has to do something similar to what his comic counterpart. Who's going to design a suit like that just to have the wearer charge into battle for melee?

Iron Man and the subsequent suits designed like it make sense from a design perspective.

Web even said that where he got the inspiration

I'm honestly just really pissed off at whoever is making marketing decisions. They have this tv spot cut up already but won't release it online? My first viewing shouldn't look like it was taken in World War 2.

That's Ultimate Rhino. Earth 1610. Not canon Rhino from earth 616.

This is 616 Rhino.

Aleksei Sytsevich (Russian: Алексей Михайлович Sytsevich) was just another thug in the Russian Mafia, grasping at dreams of easy money, and headed for a short brutal life. Seduced by promises of wealth and power, Aleksei underwent a life-threatening series of chemical and radiation treatments throughout several months to transform him into an agent with superhuman strength for a collective of professional spies. In part, this was to support his family.

Aleksei's powerful armor, permanently bonded to his form, was modeled after the hide of a rhinoceros.

That comic Mecha-Rhino is makes far more sense than the dumb suit we got in the movie, but that film was incredibly disappointing to begin with.

Mecha-Rhino from ASM2 is nothing like the Mecha-Rhino from the comic, though. That's a pretty far jump in interpretation. One I found incredibly dumb.

Still the Inspiration He wanted a more grounded look even talked with military contractors and based this mech off of real world designs check the other concept art its all over the internet, they rang from bigger more tank looking designs to the more "traditional" skin armor.
