Official TMNT 2 Trailer #2 Discussion

[sdp]

Not as good as the first trailer but movie still looks good. random thoughts:


-The scene with the Tank reminds me of the snow scene in the first movie and the battle with Krang also looks very similar to the battle with Mecha-Shredder from the first film.

-The mutagen hitting the hand making it more "normal" made me think that what if they used it and were still turtles but looked more like the turtles we know and love? Doubt it'll happen but I almost thought that would happen in the trailer as I saw the hand appear to look more traditional TMNT. edit: Didn't realize they become human hands, I thought they only became smaller.

-Casey jones looks too cheery, I'm guessing he won't be in the movie much but I hope he's a good interpretation. I like the actor in Arrow so even if its a different interpretation I'd like to see a good Casey.


edit: I don't understand the negativity this is getting compared to the first trailer, its basically the same footage only longer scenes in some parts. It's obvious they won't turn the turtles into humans, it's just a plot point, they won't go full on X-Men about it and it'll just be a small plot point. The OT did it and I'm sure another version of the turtles has also done it as well.

I dunno, the 'human' bit has me of thinking the acceptance thing may be more-so self acceptance, and socially only to a lesser degree via select new allies.

It's NYC, maybe it wouldn't phase the average resident according to this? lol Hard to believe something to that extent wouldn't. Should have old ladies yelling at them out windows at 2am.

Kinda proud of him for wanting to stay true to himself.

Anyone else think Baxter looks like Eddie Murphy from The Nutty Professor when he was fat?

I think it will be a big point of the movie and if they played it like X-Men: First Class it wouldn't be too much of a problem but I doubt they will.

I'm sure it will be. There's little if any doubt the movie will end with the turtles accepting who they are which is great...but then what are they going to do with this amazing substance which can turn them into humans and back again.

Destroy it? Put in a vault and forget about it? Something like that would be of great strategic value. One of the main reasons TMNT have a circle of human allies is that they can go to places they can't. That's also why they are ninjas so they can sneak into places they can't otherwise get into but they shouldn't need to do that anymore.

The plot point of they wanting to be human is all in the two trailers. They have to live in hiding. April tells them about the ooze and they see how Beebop/Rocksteady are now well monsters and Donnie deduces it could turn them human, Raph and another say yes Leo and probably another say no, eventually because of Krang they "come out of the shadows" and the public accepts them for the most part and story arc done, they are happy to be what they are and the movie finishes with their interview for the TV like the first trailer shows.

I don't recall an interview with TV in any trailer and while I think this movie jumped the shark what we've seen ages ago I'd like to think Platinum Dunes isn't stupid enough to go that far.

[sdp]

sorry it's not an interviews its the police chief or mayor or something, but its clearly set after the battle with Krang at the end where they are no longer "hiding in the shadows" as the title calls it.

Them being human for a good chunk of the movie would have saved on some major FX costs, haha!

[TheJ-manTurtleMan]

I was looking forward to this movie. Despite all the first movie, despite the same producers, and despite all the WonderCon schlock, I still had a little bit of hope for this movie. But this new trailer just punched me in the stomach with the fist of disappointment. That's how I feel, not rage, or anger, just disappointment. They could have gone with so many better plots, but freaking Ooze that turns them human?! Disappointment.

I'm surprised no one has brought up the whole love triangle in regards to this new trailer. We already know that there is going to be some ridiculous love triangle between Mikey, April, and Casey, how could there not be?
My prediction is that Mikey is going to be butt-hurt because April is choosing Casey over him because he is a human. Mikey finds out that there is Ooze that makes them human, so he's going to use it, turn human and confess his Love to April. And I'm willing to bet my Grandma's inheritance money that she's going to say some sappy, poorly written line that goes something like "I liked who you are already, you don't need to change just for me!" (Barf!) He going to feel better about himself, turn back into a turtle, rejoin his brothers and save the day! ...sigh... disappointment

Of course. You didn't expect them to create different/new action scenes, did you? Hell, I remember there was a rumor of them blowing up the lair again.

[Commenter 42]

So, Fox is apparently pregnant again, but she's not with Green anymore.

Who's the baby-dady? Arnett? Armel? Ritchson? Bay? Me?

[Powder]

Michelangelo, obviously.

On a happier note, the Zika Virus has made it's way to 30 of the lower 48 states.

... and it's even more horrific than they initially thought.

[LeotheLateBloomer]

This latest trailer had some good parts to it. Don't know how I feel about the whole human controversy. Doubt it will happen........hopefully not.

At this point, it's hard to say where this movie is going. I really enjoyed most of the turtles' scenes. From the looks of it, it seems like there really will be some conflict between the turtles, mostly with Leo. Not only is he against the whole 'ooze turning them into humans idea' but he may go through the disappointment of failure again and consult to Splinter, which I always liked. The concern I have though is that how much will they focus on these aspects. There's noticably less Krang in this trailer which may mean we may not see much of him til the very end (duh!). With the lighter tone and all, I just hope the jokes don't ruin the whole serious moments of the movie.

All I can say is, I'll just have to wait and see. Even with the little parts that I liked, there's not much to go off of.

The obvious answer to that question is:

Spoiler:

Do you honestly care? Do you even know who the father of her last two children is without looking it up?

[Casey]

I still strongly dislike the casting, designs, etc., but this trailer is making me excited to see this one. And that's after I pretty much hated the first one.

[Casey]

I also think it's interesting that I could hate the first in a franchise, but they hire a new director and write a script that's basically a 21st century love letter to the Fred Wolf series and I get excited to see it. Especially since I've always wanted a strong adaptation of the Mirage minus the things Barron was forced to put in 1990. Possibly even in the style of Sin City, but with updated effects.
