That's the problem. Its not just opinion sharing. Ive seen personal attacks and nasty hostility. Either side, its unnecessary. Calling it out is not "defensiveness "... and has nothing to do with " perspective" and has everything to do with how you conduct yourself. It IS just a movie. That's the point. Dude.

Anyways.. I wonder if this was the latest trailer that was classified on the 2nd.

I wasn't crazy about that trailer. I'm actually a little disappointed. I hope the movie will be good. I just kinda wish it were a little darker/violent in a way. That's just what id like to see. Fun is good and fine and all but... I'm just longing for something really badass. I hope after this trilogy they start from scratch

Yeah, that's kind of why I made a thread about this film's tone. There's not much to talk about after watching this latest trailer. It's mostly just character bios. Whether or not I like this movie, I'd rather there not be a third one.

I just wish they went a different route. Hopefully we get another reboot after this film. From scratch. Even though I still may enjoy the film.

I do love this poster though

[slingtheory]

I love Leonardo. Absolutely love the guy. But that poster has to be the dullest thing to ever bear his image. Just him jumping across the night sky. It's like the laziest least imaginative thing they could've done. They couldn't at least throw some sky scrapers in the background or maybe some birds flying by to break up the blandness of it all. Also his shell looks like a backpack

It's like the producers/writers are trying to make the fans say this.

These Turtles must have the crazies spines ever since the shell on a turtle is a part of the spine...

That 3rd pic actually makes it look like Leo has a beak

I want to see some real fighting in these trailers, but I'm willing to bet that that's the hardest to animate given all the mocap work involved. but with the acutal movie nearing release that's neither here nor there at this point.

I don't feel the lyrics were the same
'He's a big cuddly teddy bear! Well an extremely violent cuddly teddy bear'
That's around what Mikey said for Raph

There is a multi-quote feature.

Yep, there's been hostility. For years. And it really has come from both sides. And there really has been a lot of defensiveness and arguing stemming over opinions. Singling out only one side as "the problem" is kind of a personal attack and hostile in itself.

Their shells look like backpacks, like they're not even attached to their spines. I assume, like the more "human" facial features, it's due to them trying to apply the motion capture as simply and directly as possible.

It'd be cool to see them really think out the way they'd move with their specific humanoid-turtle physiology, but y'know, that'd take extra work.

[IndigoErth]

Was thinking about that earlier after waking up. To think if they'd only not gone quite so large with the shells it might have helped it look a little more natural. More subtle like the sliders they formerly are, instead of tortoises they aren't. (And work better with that human hybrid type skeletal structure.) Had really hoped they would have let up on it a tad for the sequel.

At the very least cut back on how high it comes up. I mean, come on, as a ninja and hero I'm sure it would be an asset not to have some of your peripheral vision blocked and be able to see over your own shoulder.

That is a cute lil' tush though.

Looks like Brian Tee was interviewed at KTLA this morning, I hope they have the video up soon.

Imagine the things they could have done thanks to cgi to explain Turtles mobility while having a shell.

Instead it's backpacks... Real heroes wear shells indeed, cause they are removable.

Honestly, writers tend to get it bad. Their place on the hierarchy suggests a certain amount of creative control and responsibility in terms of quality, and yet, on tentpole films like these, they tend to have none. You know that saying about crap going downhill? Well, it tends to land on the writer. They tend to get blamed for things they didn't even do or for things that weren't even their idea.

There are stories of screenwriters not being allowed on set. Being replaced, like a game of musical chairs. Honestly, they are treated like temp workers. A lot of times, much of what you see and hear in the final cut wasn't contributed by the credited writers, but either made up on the set (by the director, producer, or a member of the cast) or written by a script doctor (which is essentially a ghost writer, a screenwriter whose work is often uncredited).

Also, writers often have to write what they are told to write. You could say "hack," but sometimes it does come down to "Do I want to pay my bills and put food on my family's table?" Plus, there is always the thought, "Well, they're gonna pay someone else to do it, might as well be me and I could I try to make it good.." I'm sure most people are familiar with Kevin Smith's story about writing for Superman Lives, where he was constantly told by a crazy producer, Jon Peters, to add giant spiders and fight sequences with polar bears. Then Tim Burton came in, kicked Kevin off, made his own changes, etc. Maybe not the best example since, because of Batman & Robin's failure, Superman Lives was dropped before it went before cameras. However, something similar happened to Last Action Hero and is happening with the new DC movies, as well.

I am not even sure if I would blame the director in this case.

I'm sure this happened with the last TMNT film too. I'm sure Michael Bay played his part (he did force reshoots to add humor because the first cut he saw was too serious), but I am also sure Paramount and Nickelodeon had their controlling moments, as well.

I wouldve liked to see them shoot footage for an actual PSA, versus just giving us standard trailer footage, intercut with an antibullying ad. You could string together most anything like this.

If they shot actual footage I think something like this could have more impact.

[neatoman]

And now I'm imagining a live action version of those GI Joe "knowing is half the battle" things with a CGI Leo...

Yeah, never mind the fact last movie with Mikey being a creeper which can contradict stuff. Seriously, I don't know what's stupider from that: the emoji shove down our throats or, I don't know..... an actual reason behind bullying? They really are getting desperate if they need to increase awareness on a common conflict in life.
