I thought the same thing when it was posted.

I could see how the hook might be very useful assuming it's sharp (ouch), but... yeah, badass elf shoes.

Who knew Oroku Saki had a mancrush on Legolas?

Because the boots are the most important part.

Of course they are, where have you been?

That's one guy who's toes you'd never step on, and now more than ever, literally and figuratively.

Well, we did at least already know Oroku Saki has a foot fetish...

It's called the FOOT Clan. And not just because "a journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step." We know what you're up to, Saki.

This just proves that no matter how close to the source material they get, us TMNT fans will never be happy. XD

I don't have a problem with the Legolas boots. They're ridiculous, but hey, certain styles of kicks could implement those blades in a very nasty way.

The boots are funny, but that doesn't mean they couldn't be lethal.

They look fine to me, and yes, they look lethal too.

Ye-ouch! Ya' got THAT right! That would be painful- and not to him....

Or the quote about being called the Foot because they "step on anyone in their way". And then there's that foot-tickle torture method that was so common in the OT.... What was UP with that, anyway?

That they do. Actually, I think it's just a bad angle. Looks to me like they are just boot-blades that curve a bit. As a D&D gamer, I'm wondering what the damage die on those would be. I'm thinking maybe a d6? Sorry, but I've seen too many PC's with these things, and it's just what my head immediately jumps to, LOL!

What the hell were these guys doing? My God. I can't fathom even thinking about going in this direction, let alone having it developed to this extent.

The one Foot design with yellow eyes is better than the ones we saw on screen, but that's not saying much.

One thing of interest is the Shredder suit powered by mutagen. I guess that old super soldier plot was going to involve him as well.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA and to think this hack was COMPENSATED for these is just beyond comprehension. It looks like Robocop fused with a Transformer while gridlocked in a stalemate Triple Threat match inside a Skynet time transport chamber pod, with Arnold's Mr. Freeze in the year 2142 and they were transported back in time to the Medieval Times scene in The Cable Guy.

Seriously, this is some of the worst concept art for a TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES movie that I can possibly imagine. The only way it is acceptable is if the story took place in an alternate timeline where in the 1400s they had advanced alien technology that they combined with the "Knight in Shining Armor" fashion of the original timeline. Hey, it's more plausible, in my mind, than having a 2014 Bluetooth Video Camera in a 1990s Megan Fox Flashback.

And how many concept artists did they actually hire for this frickin thing? It seems like there's more pieces of discarded concept art for this pathetic attempt at a film than the storyboards Moebius & Giger did for Jodorowky's Dune! At this point, they could release a 300 page coffee table book documentaring their visionless failure.

This trainwreck is gettin' better all the time, and I ain't talkin Amy Schumer! **Drops mic**

If TurtleMullet keeps making all kinds of sense I might have to retire.

You can't retire - don't you see what's happening? He's obvs a long-lost twin. I can tell by the hair. In some delicious twist of karmic irony, we now have double the trouble!

Man, and your detractors thought they had it bad before...
