You guys. It's not that it's a cartoon. It's that it's a really dumb cartoon.

I'm trying to figure out what about "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" says "at least one fart joke per movie", but this is from the producer who gave us Transformer testicles and another Transformer peeing on somebody, so... This is just what Michael Bay thinks of you, I guess.

Not only that but add on top of this **** pile of a movie nonsensical logic like Raph being afraid of heights and dormant animal genes.The list goes on.

THAT feels much more like what this movie actually has to offer.

Has there ever been a more lackluster pairing than Stephen Amell and Megan Fox?

I still haven't found the Raph and Mikey "blue sky" posters.
Notice that the Leo and Donnie silhouettes in the April/Casey poster are the same as in the two "blue sky" posters that were found before:

Oh god, that's just the list for those two crummy commercials! The Official List of Stupid could go on for pages and pages.

Yeah, and it's probably the most accurate poster for this movie yet.

This is the issue you get when they cast people entirely due to their looks. Nothing against them personally (well, Fox has a history of jerky behaviour) but they're both pretty wooden actors with extremely limited range, and neither's natural range actually suits their character at that.

For the risk of going back to the "comparison well", we had it really good with these two:

They have acting chops, they're great at embodying their characters, they look like real, regular people, and they added personality and warmth to a movie and concept that needs it in order to work.

26 years later and we've got bland supermodels.

Hooray for progress.

Watching these tv spots, Megan Fox has hardly been in them, I wouldn't be surprised if Stephen Amell has more screen time than Megan.

They're exploiting all the turtle moments in the marketing.

I'm sure there are ALOT more human scenes that we haven't seen yet.

graphic_content · 05-17-2016, 12:50 PM

I really feel like they havent shown us much - I saw ALL the Civil War trailers, and TV Spots, and I went thinking I've all there is to see, and the movie blew me away.

Now granted, I dont think this movie will best Civil War, but:

All the TV Spots keep doing is showing us bits of the same scene over and over, teasing us with maybe a second or two of more footage.

As far as being too human focused, I really dont think that will be a problem this time around. Perhaps Im being too optimistic, but with the footage we've seen, Im willing to bet that 'Arrow Jones' of all humans will get the most screen time (of the humans), with the Turtles taking center stage.

I know, we still got Vern, His girlfriend, the basketball player, Judith Hoag character, Laura Linney Character (Rebecca Vincent), Shredder, Karai and Baxter.

From the production photos last year, it looks like Vern's Girlfriend and the basketball player are only in 2 scenes. Judith Hoag's Character in one scene and probably last less than 5 mins but I wouldn't be surprised if they all get cut out.

Yeah, these TV spots don't even give out the movie's plot, we don't know how Krang factors into the movie, we just see him pop up.

From the TV Spots we have seen, all we know is that Shredder wants to built an army, and gives that purple ooze to Baxter Stockman, Bebop and Rocksteady take part in it and mutate, we don't know how Krang factors in all of this.

If it follows the 80s cartoon, then Krang would be the provider of the mutagen.

Honestly, I think the ratio of humans to Turtles will be better divided in this one. Not pro-Turtles, just more Turtles if that makes sense. I dunno. We'll see.

I think its funny they didn't align themselves with a specific brand for promotional purposes this time around. Or maybe they did? I havent seen/heard anything from the usual suspects (Pizza Hut, Dominos) tho.

Yeah it doesn't look like Pizza Hut are promoting the movie this year.

New interview with Megan Fox and Stephen Amell.

"Is there a romantic comedy in your future?"

He's already starring in a TV show that's a romantic comedy.
