Hey, thanks for posting TC! Not gonna lie, now that we're seeing more stuff with the guys in action, I'm feeling excited.

Oh yeah, I'm talking more sh*thead tweens and brats with marker pens and cheap spraypaint who think they're gangsta - who would have zero respect for the original art. We have plenty of those in my area. I've got zero problem with tagging or street graffiti if it's artistic - it's the 12 year olds running around leaving stuff that has no artistic merit all over the walls of the local shopping centres that cheese me.

Yeah, I thought he had sandals too... maybe the guys have a wardrobe full of outfit changes that we don't know about. I kind of like that idea.

I was scrolling through thinking "I still don't like their faces and size, but the costume design for Leo is really starting to WTF IS HE WEARING SNEAKERS?!"

I hate them wearing shoes. I just do.

Still irked about Raph-centric story round whatever we're on.

At first so did I, but then you gotta wonder, we as humans have the capacity to go barefoot all day, but I'll be damned if anyone ever braves that in New York City. Just walking one city block, you'd cut your foot, and contract all kinds of nonsense without breaking a sweat.

And yet in the very same instance, we'll just say that this logic doesn't apply to Raph. I guess he's so f'ing tough, he doesn't need shoes like his brothers. -_-

Don't get me wrong...I agree that Raph not wearing shoes is inconsistent for sure.

But I have always wonder why they've gone barefoot in the past, as if their mutation gave their super skin or something.

They don't really need super skin. Humans are the only animals that cover their feet to walk. Animals go across pebbles and rocks and don't care. Dogs can walk on hot concrete way longer than we do without it blistering their paw pads (it will eventually though, unless they've had enough time slowly building up the toughness of their pads). And turtles will walk over anything without caring about their feet. Ain't no turtle got time for that. When you see a turtle crossing a street, they aren't having problems with their feet on pavement.

Humans can too, but we've conditioned our feet to be sissy-feet over the centuries.

I just took that the boys didn't need clothes and shoes because in a way, they still aren't human. They didn't start out as human and they are never going to be all the way human, so they don't need shoes and access clothes, similar to how cats and dogs can walk around NYC and not pick up anything.

Do we know that for sure? What with hiring a definitely well known actor like Johnny Knoxville to voice Leo, not to mention he's getting the most posters and screen time in the trailers as of late, I'm wondering if Leo might have a bigger role than they are leading on.

They don't need them, but they want them

Maybe, maybe not. I just figure with limited screen time the fact is we've eliminated Leo, Don, and Mike for a portion of the movie by having them captured and spending time on Raph away from the lair, Raph returning to the lair, Raph gearing up, Raph with April and Vernon, Raph fighting Shredder, Raph saving the brothers.

And somewhere in there we have Raph walking around the city with April. So I still get the sense there's a Raph focus for the film.

Plus, Raph is the Wolverine character type. Hollywood knows the bad boy is what everyone wants to see and all everyone cares about. Put that on the screen more.

But that would be another change....they never have before. Not in Mirage, definitely not in the Fred Wolf cartoon's early days (Why do humans want to make themselves look dumber than they already do?). Not in any of them have they wanted to wear clothes like humans. So it's a new addition.

Honestly, I'm okay with it to an extent. Mike in particular fits. I wish they would have kept Leo most traditional with the pads. He seems of all of them that he'd be the most simple and minimalist. But I dig his armor choice (minus the bamboo. I'd rather have proper plastron)

It's just the shoes. I just don't like them wearing shoes. I like the two toes being visible. Just makes them that much more "less human"

No arguments here.

Yeah, I'm betting this is true given the personality they seem to have that wants to separate themselves outwardly in addition to their character.

A fair point. Which ties in SWIFT's theory that we've coddled the human foot to be sissified. Which to a large degree is true.

humans are animals kids. No need to divide. We never get anywhere when we consider humans separate!
I always saw them as hybrids because they are anthropomorphic turtles -they are humanoid, always assumed the mutagen used some genetic material from humans to give them humanoid anatomy. Not only that, but they grew up with within human culture, and adhere to the same ideas of modesty and covering the body - just like we as humans inherit these cultural traits from our parents and the world around us, so would they. They exist within human culture - of course they want to wear clothes. First thing i thought when i saw Leo's shoes was - "wow look at the level of design there! they have sewn different pairs of shoes together to fit their two toed feet! amazing!"

They look amazing!

terrorblade · 07-11-2014, 02:29 AM

They were raised by a mutated rat that wears clothes, I don't think that it's really ridiculous for them to wear some clothes too.
