And no amount of 'giant, repeated letters' is going to scare me away from sharing my thoughts on the subject.

Great, now I had to go back and look at the rest.

Pshh. Megan just stick with Mikey, he's your best bet... lol Donnie is certainly made for better things than that, Leo is out of your league, Raph prob has no time for your nonsense, even temporarily... (And someone questioned me for gods sake...)

whatever helps you catch your z's, bro.



oh, and i haven't formed an opinion.

(cuz i havent seen the film...)

So we should just be sheep and like it because it has the name TMNT on it?

I can deal with changes as long as the product is good. This movie just doesn't look good and the changes only magnify my dislike of it. It doesn't help that a few critics that I follow and usually agree with sh*t all over the movie too.

I have a question regarding this:

Changes to the mythology have been made to every iteration of TMNT ever since the original comics. So what exactly were fans expecting from this? A 100% remake of the comics or 80s cartoon? Don't be absurd.

Breaking news huh, I think the Turtle people seem worse off than the Transformers people ever did.

It looks like a great funny action movie I don't know what else people want.

You don't have to like it just because but those people that act like it makes them physically ill and think it's something bad for the franchise to make money and flourish are just ridiculous.

It's like they want the brand to stagnate and die just as long as they don't change one little bit of the stories.

It's a story about rat and turtle men I grew up on it and I love it but it's not crucial to my life that they don't do it exactly as I want or it's dead to me, I remember when the Transformers people were like that's I for me I'm out of Transformers all together.

I have to agree I have seen more bitching about this movie than the 4 transformers movies. so much butthurt in the sewers.

Been biting my tongue on that word.


I am at the point I will care to defend these Turtles themselves since their personalities at least have helped make it feel like it's them and they have no say in what people decide to do with them or the choices made.

The film makers however, they're on their own. They're big boys and girls, and in the film industry no less, they should be able to withstand criticism.

[chrisdude]

Can we talk about how Megan Fox totally understands the appeal of the turtles? No? Okay.

I am only suggesting we make sense of the absurd. Not they should have used this absurd idea. I know the movie origin is silly. I am just used to silly cause ya know I am a TMNT fan. I enjoy trying to make sense of the impossible instead of only believing what is practical.

I actually like the idea of him learning ninjutsu after being mutated, to me, it just makes more sense then learning the movies as an normal rat.

But when the people who supports this movie actually say something bad about the other TMNT incarnations, expect a sarcastic response from the more "mature" folks here that say "this is the best TMNT and everything else before it is terrible".

Is it really hard to accept that maybe some people were not really bothered by all those changes? Most of the members here that actually saw the movie were satisfied on what they saw. But of course their opinion are not relevant for some reason.

Yeah, After the mutation, Splinter gains intelligence and was able to read books. That makes way more sense then a normal rat in a cage doing martial arts moves like his master.

You know what doesn't make sense?

Ooze mutating turtles so that they eat pizza, talk and practice ninjutsu.

They probably should have changed that too. Since, you know, it doesn't make sense.

Nicely put mang. I agree with this 100%. I can understand people not being happy with this movie.. you can never make everyone happy. And it isn't the perfect film by far. But really. I have never seen so many grown adults say that this movie has ruined their childhood in my life. Before even seeing it. I think that is taking it a little to far and quite frankly embarrassing. For me.. it's more about the franchise staying relevant and strong for future generations. Ensuring that we get more TMNT in the long run and NOT having stagnation. There is always going to be an iteration that disappoints imo. But as long as it's positive for the franchise I'm not going to let it ruin my life lol. If I were unhappy with this film that's on me.. I don't need to be selfish about it. It was almost more enjoyable to see my little nephew laughing and having the time of his life along with all of the other kids sitting in the front. Just bc it's not the film you want.. doesn't mean anyone owes you an apology.

Not at all. If people like what they've seen of the new movie then great for them. I wish I did since it's the first live action adaptation in 20 years. Oh well. Hopefully Episode VII doesn't let me down too.

I don't agree with the comment that you should blindly be on board with anything they do because it has the name TMNT. Things don't work that way.

I really enjoyed the origin in this movie. I agree dude. I also love how they made sense of them loving pizza.

Spoiler:

I loved how they had scenes with young April feeding them pizza before they were mutated. I loved how they were let go and how the movie went into them training as youngsters. Those scenes were some of the coolest material I have ever seen for TMNT.

[IndigoErth]

Personally I wish Splinter had been human in this... A guy working in the lab with rats and outside the lab is a skilled martial artist... Ah well.

It's like they want the brand to stagnate and die just as long as they don't change one little bit of the stories.

Or maybe those people don't want franchise to become mediocre parody of itself, you know?

Changes necessary for the survival of the franchise, but it should be GOOD changes, that help make franchise better. More modern and interesting.
If you strip some stuff form the story and add some **** just because you feel like it...it ain't right way to do it. It is a sure way to make franchise diluted mediocrity, that will be forgotten in few years, because there would be nothing good or unique. Nothing to differentiate it from hundreds of other franchises both in presentation and quality.

The way TMNT'14 remade Turtles, is just another way to destroy franchise. Way more bright, than stagnation, but with the same sad final.

Just bc it's not the film you want.. doesn't mean anyone owes you an apology.

Also, it doesn't mean that people who dislike it should apologize for their opinion.

Breaking news huh, I think the Turtle people seem worse off than the Transformers people ever did.

Yeah, because they DARE to complain about mediocre movie. What an absurd impudence!!

I don't agree with the comment that you should blindly be on board with anything they do because it has the name TMNT. Things don't work that way.

This idea is seemingly last resort of "defenders" of this movie. They can't prove that its good, so they use joker: "you're bad fan of Ninja Turtles if you dislike something that have its mark on it". It's basically primitive trolling tactic. Harmless, stupid and tad bit aggravating.
