Gee. So did I.

no we're pretty much just getting these Call of Duty: Black Ops Japan rejects.

We're probably not getting anything resembling Foot Clan ninjas in this movie.

And the new turtles that you love so much are dressed like Samurai, so what does that make them?

I just realized something.

If this IS true, and it IS in the movie, and Fichtner aka Eric Sachs does order it and it's done in front of him...

We're actually going to have a weeaboo Shredder in a TMNT movie.

*chrisdude* · 02-03-2014, 04:47 AM

I wonder how this all works. Fitchner makes it sound like Eric Sachs changes into Shredder. That had me believing that Karai was in charge of The Foot before that happened. But this actor makes it sound like Shredder really is the leader of The Foot. Fitchner has also said this Shredder is unlike any other telling. (Not that I expect him to know all tellings of Shredder.) So, at this point, I'm starting to wonder if this really will end up a reincarnation deal like IDW. Or, as some suspected, Eric is adopted...

Oh it's gonna be such a bummer.

Suuuuch a bummer to see a white Shredder named Eric Sachs demand someone to perform seppuku/harakiri.

I'm cringing right now just thinking about it.

What the hell does the region Samaria to do with TMNT, and the turtles certainly do not look like people from Samaria.

Are you maybe referring to Samurai the feudal Japan's military nobility and not the mountain region of Palestine often mentioned in the Bible.

Learn to spell correctly.

Samurai

Works fine for me, must be some problems with your autocorrect.

If that scene was recorded it at least sounds like the movie might not be as void in the actual ninja department as we think.

Of course even if it was there was a scene like that filmed it's no guarantee it will make it in. A similar scene with Shredder beating two Foot Ninja that had been arrested and had to be bailed was cut and the Tatsu killing one of them for failing was altered in the edit to show the guy was still alove.

Given all this talk of decoys ala Batman Begins and Iron Man 3 it's possible Sachs is the brains behind the Foot but has a decoy that wears the Shredder armor to be the "face" of the Foot until something happens to gives Sachs the ability and the means to step up and take on the mantle himself.

God I'm getting sick of that twist.

Gave it a pass in Begins because Liam Neeson made a fantastic Al Ghul.

But after seeing Ben Kingsley's Mandarin and being BLOWN AWAY by it, all for The Mandarin to actually be a rich white guy with douchey dragon tattoos really pissed me off.

It's not clever, it's not groundbreaking or shocking. It's hackneyed.

I think Eric Sachs will be the poor unwitting reincarnation of Oroku Saki, and Karai (Shredder's heir and current leader of the Foot) will perform some ritual that brings Oroku Saki's original consciousness into Sachs' body... or something...

Which is fine, I guess. Kinda over complicates things but whatever.

But isn't the reincarnation of Oroku Saki in the IDW series a Japanese man in modern day? I'm not reading it currently because I can't afford comics right now.

Wait, I thought it had already been confirmed somewhere that Eric was going to be adopted?

I think that was just a photo of a screenshot of some text from an unknown source.

Pretty nice find.... If this does happen it's tough to think that this film will be completely aimed at kids... I'm personally expecting a tone similar to the transformers franchise.

IDW Shredder was reincarnated back in the feudal period, he was put in a sleep and woke up in modern days, so therefore he still have his Oroku Saki body in modern times while the turtles and splinter do not have their human bodies.

A film aimed at 13 year old boys.

Ahh.

Just further proof that Bay and co. don't give a **** and will completely screw up a character just to cast his friend in the role.

I guess I'm confused on what expectations are... Is anyone actually expecting a movie aimed at 17 plus yr olds? What age range would you say Nolan's batman films were aimed at? A PG 13 tmnt movie should satisfy everyone.

Agreed. One key to remember is you can get away with a lot more in a PG-13 movie now than you used to.

The Wolverine is PG-13 and yet Logan stabs people, has their blood on his claws, gets shot, stabbed, etc.

The 1990 TMNT was rated PG and the thing that has always irked me about it most was that Leo was never able to actually use his weapons directly.

They can make a solid film at PG-13 as far as tone and content goes that's faithful to the original comics but still light enough for parents who grew up with the turtles to take their kiddos.
