Does that make enough "sence"?

You're a very sencible woman.

Baxter is bossed around by Shredder a lot in the early Season 2 episodes and is treated like a whimpy and incompetent. Had Baxter been black in the OT it would look like they were picking on the black guy.

Bebop is mutated as early as episode 2 so there's a bit of a difference, and in Seasons 1-2 Bebop/Rocksteady were slightly more competent than later seasons.

IKR? I'm just like the Dashwood sisters in Jane Austen's "Sence and Sencibility".

Eh, I always figured you more for a genderbent Bruce Willis in "The Sixth Sence."

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder, you make a good point.

Granted, if they had just made Baxter the competent madman he was in the comics... but of course not, we're talking about the OT.

That orange hair...

My best friend is still trying to get me to watch that with him. Hasn't happened yet.

It's one of the greatest films ever made, stop wasting time.

I loved it as a kid but every time I've tried to watch it I just remember how over the top it was and don't feel like watching it anymore.

[pennydreadful]

Cy, you must watch - if only to ogle Mila.

Mila isn't that attractive to me, and I've seen Bruce Willis in better movies. I'm holding out until I get my BFF to watch some more of MY favorite movies before I capitulate.

I thought you said before that you liked Tales of the TMNT.

Don't wait any longer! Trust me, it's worth it for Chris Tucker's character ALONE! Gary Oldman, too. And yeah, Mila. I'm straight, and even I'D tap that! Also, that opera singer....

Speaking of - One of my favourite parts at 3m24s (we should really allow YT embed with specific timecodes):

Hm thats sense with an "s" eh?
Yeah understand what you are saying now... Kinda slow on that.
And I'm with snake too on that one. I know a lot of people that dont watch trailers on youtube but are exited to watch the movie we talk about nonetheless.

Understatement.

You're officially dead to me.

Besson is one of the all-time greats. Makes Nolan look like a petulant child.

Y'know, I gotta say, one critique on this trailer I actually don't agree with is the one on it being wrong for the turtles to be out in day light like that in that one scene.

I mean, I get not being seen when doing ninja things, but why does that mean every hour of every day? I mean, it says in the opening of every turtle versions how they can't be seen cause no one would except them.

And then there's how every time they go to an alien planet or the future they walk around among people no problem, because no one there would freak out at them what with all the aliens.

So like, I don't see that scene as a problem, somehow those people aren't freaking the hell out, so it's all good to me.

a fair point.

their exposure has been a source of gripe for me, but only because I do not want this series to go down the same route as the Hulk (designs withstanding), where they get hunted by the military for experimentation, and for use as weapons in modern warfare...

...The Incredible Hulk, Jurassic World, Fant4stic, are just a few that come to mind where that same basic storyline has been done to death, and I dont want to see it with the Turtles, especially seeing as they were already hunted down for experimentation in Movie-1.

This is pretty cool, Stephen Amell just posted a new facebook video, in the beginning he talks about TMNT 2, and gives a shout out to Black Nerd, for his review of the TMNT: Out of the Shadows trailer.

The Black Nerd review is great. I also really enjoyed it.
