Eh... all those answers are not really spoilers... they just seem to answer vaguely or generically.

I don't think some want to really spoil any major details.

Thanks bro. So glad they didn't put Krang in the movie. Because it would definitely need some places to go for sequels.

I was more or less convinced of that anyway. If that's true then I'm 100% convinced that Sachs was supposed to be the Shredder and they've hastily rejigged the movie without undestanding why fans wanted Saki in the first place.

im really hoping they explain how there is a robot shredder if Krang isnt in this film.... because will arnett def says in the trailer "fortunately ones fighting a robot samurai"

Maybe Saki is code word for Samurai Armored Karate Intellegence

Getting some deja vu from when they quickly reworked the script and re-titled the movie to make the Turtles not aliens. And I could be wrong, but aren't their size and strength and bulletproof-ness holdovers from that concept?

It's a weird one. It feel like they had an original "vision" for this, and fans reacted very poorly, so they just kept trying to backtrack as far as they could considering the wheels were already in motion and they had firm designs and set pieces and deadlines to meet.

And that's the only thing that actually has me a tiny bit interested to see how it turns out. Based on everything we've heard, the production of this movie was kind of a train wreck. So how does the final product actually work? Guess we'll find out soon enough.

^^^

If I would hazrard a guess I would wager that the shadowy figure is never identified as Saki but rather fans who know the franchise will be able to figure it out.

I would also wager they never state who is wearing the armor because they don't want embarass Fichtner after hyping him as the Shredder by outright stating he's not and probably not have time to script and film too many scenes with "Saki".

I think given their reaction to the alien question at comic con was very telling. In most cases they would have shrugged it off saying something like "it was an idea we had early in development but we realized it was a dumb idea" cue a cheer from fans but instead they acted all defensive and tried to justify it as a good idea. I'm positive they thought that Blue Door script was a masterpiece and upset the backlash caused Viacom to halt production and change it.

pdizzle · 07-29-2014, 01:01 PM

But in all fairness as a writer with a deadline to meet i could see why at the time they kept certain elements not realizing what they were doing....i mean, after all, the backlash came from the turtles being aliens, not the bluedoor its self...my point is i dont think they grasped what the turtles was and meant to people first starting out

Matt2310 · 07-29-2014, 01:11 PM

i know hes referring to the shredder armor BUT wouldnt it just be a giant samurai if someone was IN that suit he was specifically talking about... and not a ROBOT samurai... idk just confusing

He's not only disliking the film, the guy is overly obsessed.

first...it was a joke, someone is a little sensitive

second...liking something and being a true fan is one thing, but trying to push your egotistical opinions onto others is just not right, dude attacks whoever has something good to say about it
