I'm not saying this scene isn't a stupid idea, but it's definitely not as ridiculously unbelievable as most are making it seem.

I don't think anybody at the parade gets this up close and personal with Michelangelo, especially not for this amount of time.
Ha. The dark. Sure is dark on this street. So dark.

Sure isn't surrounded by people and drawing attention to himself by standing next to a parade.

Sure isn't interacting with a person in costume in front of a huge group of parade members.

It's so dark in these shots.

So dark.

And we're sure this interaction is happening while the camera is filming? And it's not just Noel mingling? (Again, avoiding video, so just going by comments and pics.)

If Mikey will be doing all that, it's just... It's mind blowing that April and Vern must be the smartest people around who grasped their realness immediately.

Yep. His mocap face cam is lit up and the shooting camera is circling around him.

It's just that good.
This is one of the best posts I have ever read. I take my hat off to you, man.

As far as the Mikey in the Halloween parade thing goes, it might be a somewhat plausible suspension of disbelief if the rest of the parade were in high-end Halloween costumes. He might have a chance of getting away with it - and there might be a chance of selling it to the audience - if the rest of the crowd consisted of people who'd spent weeks and months putting together prosthetic zombie wounds and super-realistic looking stuff. But instead we have people in very average Halloween costumes that look like they were either made from papier-mache` or just purchased from Walmart.

I mean, I don't get it - why are people talking themselves into believing things that are outright silly? You don't have to dumb yourselves down. It's ok to say something sucks - PD aren't going to come to your house and beat you with a sock full of pennies.

Well I'll be curious to see what they ultimately do with that I guess... I hope the other three are played like they still have some kind of sense.

This must be their replacement for whatever it was Raph was up to that got cut the last time.

"Oh, we originally had a Turtle going out in broad daylight for the first movie... but that got cut because it didn't work well. Hmmm. OH, HOW ABOUT WE DO IT FOR THE SEQUEL!" - Writers.

Seriously, everything for this movie has been either REALLY GOOD or REALLY BAD. New Shredder, Casey, Bebop and Rocksteady, Foot Ninja... That's fantastic. But now, the only things about the first movie they got right were the Turtles. Now it seems like they're trying to get everything else "correct" instead of the Turtles.

Also, I know it's a longshot, but Christmas time? Well, the Leo one-shot did happen during Christmas and that would make one helluva final battle, AND Michael Bay would get to blow up a building. It's a win win.

Everything looks great and in order.

We just need more EXPLOSIONS! The last one was just the building collapsing and Vern's new car blown at the end; that's too little. Gotta go out with multiple *BANGS!*, know what I'm saying, trademark of Bay. But I'd still be cool if there's little/none, heh.

Maybe they're just trying to cover their bases for when they inevitably have to delay the release of this thing?

The same way you said that their personalities are intact.

"reasons".

Point is, talking nonsense is easy Clyde. We can all use words...but can we make sense with those words?

Aye, there be the rub!

Remnants of who they are remained, in the biggest broadest strokes, but to say their personalities were intact? A bridge....a toooooooo far....

Leo is the leader, Donnie is the smart one, Raph is the hot head, and Mikey was the jokester.
