Alright, who's got the Kool-aid? Today's the day.

I will admit, replacing Raph's loincloth with pants is a (slight) improvement.

But Donnie in Urkel suspenders? <sigh> I'm really not surprised. F'ing idiots.

TURTLES DON'T WEAR CLOTHES.

reserving judgement until trailer of course... but not feeling the outfits based off of the toppers alone.

TURTLES DON'T WEAR CLOTHES.

The only Turtles that haven't worn clothes are the Nick turtles (unless you count the animated adventures comic when Raph and Mikey dressed in girls clothes to see a movie)

Turtles don't wear clothes regularly. Playmates toys don't count.

Mikey has worn underwear in the show.

I'm surprised they didn't stick a pocket protector on his plastron while they were at it. The ****ing hacks.

no they are not destroying your childhood . They didn't time travel back to your childhood and killed your parents and destroyed everything you had. You still have all the other Turtle Cartoons movies comics etc to enjoy.

By seeing these designs I feel like they are traveling back in time and tearing apart my memories of TMNT and replacing them with these hulking monsters with pants and nostrils.

Even modern stuff like the Nick cartoon and IDW TMNT are being destroyed by this movie. It is a blemish upon the franchise, a blemish!

*miru* · 11-30-2015, 04:08 PM

Mr. Bay, the TMNT are not your Barbies.

Everytime I see those nostrils I just want to chop them off. Just SLICE 'em off!

*Galactus* · 11-30-2015, 04:22 PM

Y'know I'll begin with something (kinda) positive. I've often said that I didn't care for the loin cloth look on the 2014 turtles as it looked too silly on Raphael with a barbarian look with the tassels and Donatello's circuit boards sandwiching his bottom half and they looked especially silly in motion.

If they are intent on covering their lower halfs I'd say pants are the way to go but...I don't know I was kinda hoping they'd be better integrated than this. All these things really do is call attention that it really shouldn't be that way. Maybe it will be better in the actual movie (not likely) but seeing it this way makes me think why they can't just have their belts and pads?

I've long accepted that their builds and proportions would stay more or less the same but given how people felt about those accessories they had an easy job here. Is there really any justification for not doing away with most of it? It's not realistic to have one arm covered in wrappings and the other bare with a glove on the alternate hand nor is it edgy to have one metal shoulder pad. It's the kind of 90s X-treme comic aesthetic that most people hated even then.

Overall though it's hard to get too annoyed about these as like I said I pretty much knew were not going to make any significant changes after all despite all the hope this is some "soft reboot" this is still supposed to be a sequel to the last movie and even if they were inclined to to change it would too expensive to alter their models that much. That being said I've long had a sneaking suspicion that in response to the backlash against the designs of the turtles and Splinter that we'll get a case of oversteer Bebop and Rocksteady will look exactly like they've been yanked out of the 80s animated series. Can you imagine a faithful Bebop and Rocksteady facing off against these monstrosities?

Looks fake as hell

Lolllll, funniest 'drome post in a while.

*IndigoErth* · 11-30-2015, 04:50 PM

Work all day and look what I miss.

Hm. Well, I'll believe it's actually something legit - and current - when we finally see anything from the film itself. I swear some elements look like unused concept art we'd seen for the first.

I know, it's terrible, but I never minded the Turtles wearing stuff sometimes over the years, it's kind of adorable.

And little afraid that if this version loses it now they're going to look awkwardly naked.

Parental outrage will abound after children's repeated questioning about why they are suddenly naked now.

(I dunno, Jr., maybe they hit the 'roids more and their stuff no longer fits.)

You might be right - on the otherhand, they never really manage to faithfully recreate anything even when that is EXACTLY the intent.

They always want to "filter" it through their personal artistic interpretation.

Like these shots don't exactly fill me with hope.

Spoiler:

why would a ninja wear oversized fake muscles? that footsoldier, seriously

"Kids couldn't relate to our 2014 Turtles. What can we do to change that?"

"How about putting pants on them?"

"Brilliant! Pants are really popular with the kids, right?"
