and only one turtles spot

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

3 TV spots
2 trailers and a 3rd coming this week
a macaroni and cheese commercial/ general TMNT promo with V. Ice
Crush soda Promo
Character "weapons" posters
Street style graffiti Character posters.
MTV interview with Megan Fox.
Today Show interview/trailer debut with Will Arnett.
Pizza Hut Promo with the turtles on every box along with the passcode "OOZE" for the website to watch the trailer. These pizzas were sent out to different media outlets.
X-game promo tent with Johnston mural.

All before the initial marketing blitz with two months left to go.
There will be plenty more to come as we get closer to release


Edit: UGHshellshocked: The next trailer was classified at 59 seconds long. The 36 seconds was the TV spot ; )

But it still wouldn't surprise me if we don't see the same stuff in it. (Tower falling down/brothers voice over/hill slide/Mask joke with one brief added scene). I'm actually hoping that its one of those trailer premiere things that say "tune in tomorrow for the world premiere trailer"

I've been a pretty positive guy on this whole experience however the marketing just isn't doing it for me.

Ohh, 59 seconds. Somehow better and still somehow worse. Still actually shorter than the first teaser.

Yeah I know what you mean. I really hope this trailer is all new footage.

eh mac and cheese was aimed more for the tv show but whatever you want it that bad you can have it

also pizza hut boxes technically doesn't count since thats not a mass release we all get....like oreo being a substitute for energon



but again as i said compared to TF now theres not much new in the current (now, ahora,jetzt,今, this momento) tv commercial world


also more like month and a half Kiddo,....studio may want to actually push something out soonish if they hope to gain more GA


this "blitz" is gonna have to make up for alot of quiet and empty time dont cha know

10 seconds at most and that's being generous. When't the new trailer coming out?

Maybe 3...4 seconds of new footage.

I mean, it's entirely possible everyone stuck with it out of "tradition"... But the folks running each iteration could have beefed them up at any point in their history, but nobody really has until now. And personally, I think that their small size is a part of the appeal that most people (though not all) recognize, and it was retained for that reason.

It also stresses the fact that, despite being vertically challenged, they're still able to use martial arts to their advantage without having to rely on their size and strength alone.

That's a really good point as well! Yeah, that's definitely important. I feel like you need some sort of visibly-obvious stakes, a sense of challenge and danger you can understand just by sight alone. And the classic, short Turtles going up against armies of ninja or robots really sells that. By comparison, the PD Turtles don't look like much could be an immediate threat to them.

Well, the issue I have with that is that you'd need to escalate everything, and hugely, in order to compensate for their size. Even a group of ninja can't be a challenge anymore, because these Turtles can just plow through them or toss them aside like rag dolls. The Shredder can't "just" be an extremely-skilled martial artist anymore - he needs to be in a giant mech suit in order to be a threat. They can even topple over armoured cars with a running/sliding start.

It just seems like a recipe for bigger, over-the-top superhero-level (or Bayformers-style) action pieces, which kind of misses the point of what the TMNT are, IMO.

(I wonder if this discussion is worth its own thread? Just in case the mods frown at going off the topic of marketing...)

If "I" want it that bad? You are reaching so hard it's so obvious
Ok.. Pizza boxes "don't count" but friggin Oreo cookies do
Transformers is also two weeks away genius.
It's the 10th of June. TMNT comes out on the 8th. July 8th= one month...August 8th= 2 months... kiddo

Lets see what you have to say about marketing a week before release. I'm sure they'd have done just as much as AOE

here allow me

Weak.... you meant " I'm sorry Puddin I stand corrected, I was wrong bc I cant count the days from now until release. I also was wrong about the number of TV spots for TMNT, I was also wrong not to mention Crush soda Promo..I also apologize for making the ridiculous argument that Oreo is somehow more significant than Pizza Hut, and most of all Puddin.. I apologize for not apologizing and just posting stupid gifs bc I had nothing left to say.."

It's ok Boston Ninja Turtle. We're good my friend

its ok sunshine i know you don't take my word just because i am not happy with this film..i am sure if i was on your side..all my work,expereinces, knowledge of movies and education would be welcomed and followed like the bible

Sachs' arms are bare under the exoskeleton arm frames, and his hands and fingers are unprotected to a large degree.

fun fact. most cutting techniques with a katana is about exploiting weak points on an armour. a diagonal upward swing would go for the armpit area, cutting through the softer fabric of the armour. Could be a clue on how to defeat Sachs.

Bingo. I hope you're paying attention Leonardo. This and his chest being wide open.. could make him vulnerable..

Do people still eat Pizza Hut pizza? I'm always shocked that it still exists.
