Well, it's out, what's the truth? Is he in it? If so how significant is his role?

Nope. He isn't in it or even mentioned.

If they ignored Sacks, couldn't they have ignored Vernon as well?

They wouldnt, the entire point was to make the film have as many OT elements as possible.

They fit on Nickolodean as well as the Power Rangers do.

Will Arnett is a big name and popular actor who draws in crowds who don't care much for Turtles.

I don't think I've ever heard someone say, "Yeah, I'm gonna see the new TMNT movie 'cause Will Arnett's in it!"

That's Stephen Amell that has been drawing in casuals.

you are right tons of girls on Stephen's facebook page said they were only seeing it cause he was in it

Just saw the movie and not having Sachs is understandable with so many new and returning characters. However this is clearly a sequel and not a soft reboot so the lack of mentioning anything about Sachs is just poor writing. Especially someone who they spent an entire movie building up to just completely ignore him. Was it that hard to say "The Shredder was the person who manipulated Eric Sachs into unleashing the gas that would've killed millions". It literally takes less than ten seconds and regardless of how you feel about the character just by saying that it gives TMNT 2 a stronger sense of background and you kind of help the retcon that Sachs was supposed to be Shredder which was not hidden very well in the final cut of the first film.

Strangely he's the most currently bankable star in this which is sad.

After giving it a try I can say that on the whole Vern is probably more useful than Amell's Casey Jones....which is also sad.

I HATE Eric Sachs. Worst TMNT character ever. And I mean EVER.

I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him. I hate him.

I HATE Eric Sachs. Burn in hell white man Shredder!

MathUser · 06-07-2016, 10:41 PM

Knowing Eric Sachs was at one point a white Shredder, I ain't that sad that he isn't in the sequel. Asians are really lack roles in American movies. People didn't like them changing Egyptians to white people in Gods of Egypt. Where were those people when they cast Shredder as white in the first TMNT?

*sdp* · 06-08-2016, 05:45 PM

He wasn't white man Shredder though. That's like getting mad because Obi Wan killed Luke's father but that was changed as well.

*Powder* · 06-08-2016, 06:16 PM

Every scene he's in is a reminder of that, however, & he's only in it because he had been paid/contractually obliged. So he might as well be, given he's a walking billboard for error.

Hey! Do you like Eric Sacks?

*CyberCubed* · 06-08-2016, 06:44 PM

Please die Eric Sachs. Please die.

If this was the early 2000's I'd be making a character hate shrine on geocities or something.

So much for all the people that were saying stuff like 'he was signed on for 3 movies, of course he's going to be in the sequel!' I kinda figured from the get-go that once they decided to bring in Shredder as an entirely different character, there was no longer need for the Sachs role. The only reason Shredder wasn't calling the shots and doing all the exposition was because the change was so late in development that there wasn't time to re-shoot all of Sachs' scenes and replace them with Shredder.
