Otherwise, don't make them look quite so grown. Because I'm sorry, PD, but no way are those guys actually teens! (And if they were then they probably aren't even fully grown?? Yikes.)

The concept art certainly had one or two deigns that were clearly the basis of what we got (one of which is still my desktop wallpaper) and would have been perfect as is...and then I guess they decided bigger is better. (Not that I didn't come to love Leo anyhow, but 6'5" and that bulky is still a bit much...)



Can someone tell or link to me what "the raid" mentions are in reference to? I do remember that being something brought up back when they were making it, but not quite sure what it meant.

No prob

I'm not sure if you're referring to me or...? But teens behave all kinds of ways (take it from me, actually being one) And the Turtles are already widely portrayed as teenage caricatures anyway. That's kinda the entire point of them being called "Teenage" Mutant Ninja Turtles. Although in Mirage, they acted liked grizzled adults so I'll give you that.

I actually think it would be really cool if they got real teenagers to play the Turtles. Sort of like what Marvel did with Spider-Man. Get people in late teens-early 20s to do the mocap. You can't get much more authentic than having the real thing.


A coming of age story in vein of 'Perks of Being a Wallflower" about acceptance would fit the TMNT nicely.
