Well then...

Looks like big sized is a fetish going on with this movie as even the Kappa, whose name literally mean "river child" is pretty sizable then the usual folklore variety.

Posted this in the marketing, but figure this is where discussion would seem more appropriate:

So that explains the scroll we've seen on Sachs' wall. It's the legend of the yokai, I'm betting.

And so now, in modern times, the science-created "Yokai" are the TMNT and the legend is repeated in the modern times.

Still has a little too much destiny/fate aspects to it for my liking, but that's Hollywood's big fascination lately.

I will note, however, that we clearly see Shredder in that legend and he's supported by "demons" or yokai themselves. Just a little trivia...kitsune are a type of yokai as well. More loose ties to IDW, but I don't expect a feudal Japan Saki in the film and the angle for Hamato Yoshi and his sons doesn't seem to be there here, so don't take me as suggesting that. Just purely noting IDW's Kitsune is a yokai supporting Shredder in the past, similar to the demons supporting what is clearly Shredder visually in this legend.

Can anyone get full sized images of the artwork off of that site?

Hmm...I'm pretty intrigued. Could be interesting.

I think the Oroku Saki in the movie is a descendant of the Shredder looking guy in that legend. Why else would he kind of dress like him in modern times?

...and in the end everyone are reincarnations!!

Or could it be that Turtles instead being part of the alien race, now part of the Kappa race (whatever it is)?

It's stupid anyway...

Lou 500 · 07-21-2014, 03:47 PM

That's cool, but weren't kappas the demons that drowned people and sucked the intestines from their butts?

One lesser evil over another, I guess.

TMNT is cooler than MOTU · 07-21-2014, 03:57 PM

What the **** did I just watch?

Crap, that explains Mikey's interest in April. She'd better watch her back(side).

Yeah, they sucks your soul out of your butt, hence the Nick name anus-vampires.

They also eat children.

I would say it's possible the armor is an heirloom passed down through the generations of the Foot Clan and, as you said, Saki is the current head of said clan descended from the Shredder of legend. So rather than "kind of dress like him" he literally is dressing in the armor, only being modified and improved through modern technology.

*Candy Kappa* · 07-21-2014, 04:04 PM

Or it's a new armor, I doubt anyone would do updates on a ancient heirloom.

Yeah, That makes a lot of sense.

*Andrew NDB* · 07-21-2014, 04:17 PM

The demons are clearly from Dimension X. The many Shredders over the years will probably be revealed to be vessels for Krang.

In a word: ugh.

Anyway, I really like this angle they're going for.

And this thread is all kinds of hilarious, normally when in on the movie section I spend my time scrolling past a sh*t ton of arguing. This thread warms my heart a little seeing everyone having a wee laugh and getting on.

Oh, and boobs are awesome!

I think he may have been talking about this

Hollywood science. Your argument is not invalid, but still ignored.

And yes, Sam, that is correct.
