Was there any mention of Hamato Yoshi and his connection with Splinter?

ctt4lfecw · 07-30-2014, 10:01 PM

Is there any hint of Krang/Dimension X or Technodrome?

So is itsafe to say this movie revolves around the turtles and not the human characters

*CyberCubed* · 07-30-2014, 10:02 PM

What the hell? No Hamato Yoshi? So then what is Splinter, a random lab rat?

beeshaw · 07-30-2014, 10:03 PM

How did Splinter know April?

Where was Raph while the Sewer Siege was going down?

Is Baxter Stockman in the movie at all?

Feel free to Spoiler tag the answers!

*TigerClaw* · 07-30-2014, 10:04 PM

Is the Legend of the Yokai stuff in the movie?

Is that something Splinter tells the Turtles when they were kids?

*Panda_Kahn_fan* · 07-30-2014, 10:06 PM

So is Sachs Shredder at all? Or is Saki actually in the armor? And how did Splinter learn ninjitsu?

Seconded. What a crock. "Eh, we don't need any of that Japanese backstory, that's just gonna bore people."

Ah well. I mean, I get the whole "Story Joined In Progress" thing, but man, that's kind of a big thing to erase. ((Shrug))

Probably half and half. The human story (even the ultimate objective to the plot) was pretty light. There are even make tongue-in-cheek monologues moving the plot forward at times.

I'm not fully aware what that is, so I would so no. They are kids for a very brief segment.

*CyberCubed* · 07-30-2014, 10:10 PM

So why does Splinter and Shredder have a rivalry if there's no Hamato Yoshi element?

Because they wrote the plot on a napkin the day shooting started, would be my guess.

The IDW series is one big ass napkin.

How did the Turtles end up mutating? Accident or intentional?

I'm talking about this, This was a TMNT Movie Promo, And we were all assuming that Splinter might of told about a Legend to the Turtles.

*CyberCubed* · 07-30-2014, 10:14 PM

Disgusting how could there be no Hamato Yoshi element? So Splinter is just a filthy rat.

The least they could have done is gone the reincarnation route from IDW with Splinter being Hamato Yoshi from ancient Japan.

Just one other last curiousity, any mention, hinting, or cameo of Rocksteady and Bebop?

~~Leo656~~ · 07-30-2014, 10:17 PM

Really sounds like some of the speculation was true, that they really played down the Japanese influence so the film would play better in China. To me, the Japanese backstory and Yoshi/Saki rivalry isn't extraneous. That's a major bummer they cut that.

Despite fans wanting this, I would never introduce that plot element into any film. It's basically a less silly version of the IDW series which was welcome in the theater.
