Once you get done polishing that turd, go ahead and eat it.

Now I get flashbacks about the discussion during the first PD flick, and a certain someone started arguing that a turd could be polished...

But that would never happen. Paramount, Nick, Michael Bay, the actors in these films...what else do they have to do or say to make people get 100% that they honestly do not give a crap as to what you, me, or anybody 'fan-wise' says about it?

I mean, how many times have people complained about certain aspects for Transformers, and yet they do the same thing again and again in every follow up?

People will go 'but they did listen' for this one. No, they didn't. All they did was look around and go 'Nostalgia is booming' and 'what was big in the 1980s/1990s is coming back (new Terminator, new Power Rangers, new X-Files, new Jurassic Park, new Independence Day)...thus, just put in some of those characters and such (Bebop, Rocksteady, Krang, Technodrome) and ride that Nostalgia Train which is a trend in the here and now.

They still went ahead dick and fart jokes. They still went ahead with making Megan Fox 'dressed as a slut' type of crap. They still went ahead with 'bad casting' (first one, Megan Fox; This one, Stephen Amell) that doesn't fit the character. They still keep doing it.

I mean, how hard is it to have good, choreographed Martial Arts scenes to show the 'Ninja' part of the title? How hard is it to have various sequences to show the family being a family with each other (Mikey pranking Raph, etc.)? And how hard is it to not have dick and fart jokes in a TMNT flick?

But again, they won't listen.

Who cares? Pandering is still pandering. Has nothing to do with what incarnation a film should base itself off of.

In this context, of course it is. Don't be silly.

Pandering is pandering, even if there's a precedent or it's cool.

There were a ton of good globe trotting adventures from the TMNT comics a lot of us grew up with. In my opinion, sending them to china isn't stupid, insisting they be in NYC all the time is. That is NOT true to turtles fiction in any media. It is not pandering to use established TMNT characters, in a setting they visited in the comics.

True, the Turtles had adventures in other parts of the world, some of the cool stuff from the archie series comics were set outside of NYC, besides China, the Turtles were even in the middle east.

Or Katmandu

Maybe the 3rd movie could have the Turtles going on an adventure in China.

Where's my lolcopter?

China will make TMNT great again, and we will make them pay for it!

China has paid for half the Blockbusters out there.

Is there another great wall involved in this?

Stephen Amell is in Shanghai, China promoting TMNT 2.

Man, Marvel seems to be doing a great job getting money AND making great movies that people love.

It's almost as if the two aren't mutually exclusive.
