You will still see his eyes. People can tell those are not Asian eyes.

This is sounding crazier and crazier. I love it.

[TMNTChris1980]

Every new bit of information that gets announced about this movie confirms my expectations. This movie is going to suck.

I agree, a white guy playing Shredder, c'mon.

Whoopi Goldberg...Whoopi Goldberg?!? She's probably one of the bigger names attached to the movie, so I can't see here having limited screen time. errr, I can hear the horrible lines from her already

Whoopi- "Leo, Raph says I love you"
Leo- "Raph would never say that"
Whoopi- "He says ditto"
Leo- *begins to cry

I'm sorry if I sound super negative about this, but hey, we've been waiting since 2007-2008, right?

People won't be able to tell if he squints. God knows they're squinters!

If we're going to have a white guy as Shredder, I'd rather have it be someone like this guy:

[Nameless]

ooooooooooooooohmygod I am saving this forever.

[Galactus]

This is horrible news.

Not in any real world sense but in the context of making a decent TMNT film it's pure horrible.

[CyberCubed]

You know I'm betting the Turtles are still aliens in the movie too, they're only mutants because they were contaminated on Earth but they're still aliens.

And white Colonel Shredder. He's named Shredder now instead of Shrader but he's still likely a Colonel.

This movie is going to give Next Mutation a run for its money as the worst TMNT product ever.

Not once was the word Colonel mentioned in that interview. He infact said Shredder, whjch you should be happy about instead of getting a truly bastardized version of the character.

I think this may actually be the one thing we can say with any certainty about this movie will not be true.

[turtletoons81]

wow *sighs,chuckles* wow...this is interesting.

It won't have the awful Next Mutation sound effects or Venus, but its going to be awful in so many other ways that it'll make no difference.

That show was "kiddie awful," this one will be "movie awful."

This movie is going to make Secret of the Ooze, TMNT III, and TMNT 2007 look like masterpieces.

You mean like The Mandarin in Iron Man 3? They still called it "The Mandarin"...doesn't mean it wasn't a quote "bastardized version" of the character.

Another point, Venom in Spider-Man 3. People still say it's Venom...but that's a bastardized version of Venom in that POS.

Just cause it has the same name, doesn't mean it's not a quote 'bastardized' version of it.

So I guess we'll see.

Sorry to double post. But shut up. Seriously. Aussme. Assume. Assume. You sound like a butthurt teenager.

At this point you should just give up on the film and stop commenting the same thing over and over on these threads.

Its best to complain. Venting out our feelings make us feel better as fans.

Why do you think people always post angry rants about things they're unhappy with in TV shows, movies or videogames? Its because we can.

I'm hoping this is the case. I'm really not a fan of a whitewashed Shredder.

I would hardly call what you are doing ranting. Saying the same points over and over again. Post by post. But hey, if it makes you feels better about the negative connotations *you* have put on this film. Go for it.

Epic Facepalm!

Jesus Christ on a Crutch, I'm officially back on the "of crap this is gonna suck"
What makes me scratch my head is how Viacom who own's the property are allowing TMNT to have absolutely ZERO continuity between the movie, the comics, and the toon.

Like what If Michael Bay did Star Wars Episode? Would they allow Darth Vader to NOT be Lukes Father or a fallen Jedi?


The ONLY way they can make this turd shine is if Oruko Saki is played by an Asian actor, get burned/disfigured and Fitchner plays and voices Shredder in costume only.


FYI Fitchner was incredible as a paycho cop in Strange Days

Obviously fans mileage on what the consider unacceptable changes will differ but just look at Fichter. I'd say it's good odds that to most people the character will be pretty bastardised.
