-do any of you seriously think their first reaction to fix things this time is going to be a faithful mirage adaptation, rather than just going back to what earned them 500 million the last time?

Think about it.

You're joking right?
Of COURSE the first movie made more money because there was a sense of mystery to it. The mystery of whether or not it'd be good or not. People had hope. And then, that hope was shattered by the April O'Neil movie.

They listened to fans for the second film (More Turtles, less April, Bebop/Rocksteady/Krang) and it came back to bite them in the ass because they screwed up that badly for the first film. They were banking on Bebop and Rocksteady being seat-fillers, but it seems that people don't want to go pay just for nostalgia.



Anywho, the only actual con I can think of for a reboot (unless it's worse than these movies) is the fact that I really like the actors for the Turtles. I saw OOTS the other day (My friend was kind enough to take me, given that I didn't want to pay these bastards.), and quite frankly, those Turtle actors are really good. Everything else was either 'meh' or 'somewhat acceptable', though. The movie's god-tier compared to the first one, though. It's still bad, but it's like it's self-aware that it's bad. "That's how I roll. That's how you roll." Someone was paid to write this.

But on the upside, maybe they could get actual teenagers to play/voice the Turtles. It'd make it sound more authentic.
