Did you specifically like the movie?

Spoiler:

It could use another scene or two with Krang, who was basically a (very, VERY) large ham on every line. Sounding like a non-Scottish David Nighy with extremely stuffed sinuses. He met somewhere in the middle between FW Krang and IDW Krang. And for some reason, dropped lower on the command chain. That seems to happen a lot in various adaptations.
"Lord"/Ruler of Dimension X
General/Prince
"Commander"

Shredder's first encounter with Krang was so neutral, I thought that they had already met somehow. And why is he completely attached to his machine? Which should be a lot easier to get into the cavity. Just...have a function where they sides open up. No need to cram himself in. Explains the toy, though.

The turtles were just about what I expected to be. Leonardo does something that upsets Raphael, plot collapses around them being unable to function because of that. Bebop and Rocksteady were also as expected. I couldn't help but have a small laugh at the "This pig can fly!" line as Bebop blew out of the plane, though the moment was probably not right for it. Now, if he was hang gliding...

The human cast was about as I expected, and I can't help but notice Casey and Vernon looked eerily similar, even with their different haircuts. The clock wire scene was another bit I felt bad for laughing at. It was incredibly dumb, but I couldn't help it.

The whole movie was incredibly dumb. But I'm glad I saw it.

Were the kids noisy during the whole movie? cause only kids who aren't the right age for this, just make lots of noise.

It really depended on the moment, but they were mostly okay. They certainly weren't disruptively loud, but it was still obviously a theater full of kids.

Glad I saw the movie during school hours

Bad, but better than the last one.

I've seen the Avengers and its not even like that. The only thing that does look stolen was the portal but the 80s toon had that (The Grybyx)

So you're essentially saying you were planning on hating the movie in the first place and you saw it out of spite just so you could tell us how much sh*t sucked?

That's... not what he said? His comments suggest he saw the movie and hated it, in that order.

Giant blue space portal above New York causing an alien invasion that can all be prevented by destroying something shiny and the slow motion shot of Rocksteady chasing Casey is identical to the Hulk chasing Black Widow. Same angle, situation, and in a tight location that the bigger character pushes through. But hey, if you're going to steal moments from a movie, at least is was a good movie to steal from. Better than stealing from the Amazing Spider-Man like in the last movie.

The Technodrome attacking NYC is something that we seen happen in the 80s cartoon before, Even the Nickelodeon series done it.

That's very true. It was just the way it was done that was so familiar (including shots of the guns on the side of the Technodrome that mirror shots of the guns on Helicarriers in Winter Soldier). But a part of why I didn't really like the movie (keep in mind I didn't hate it, it's just not for me) is because we've seen all this before, and that makes for kind of a forgettable experience. The argument could be made it's a family movie, but the ones that stand out from my childhood are the ones that felt like something new.

And then proceeded to spam every thread talking about how much he hated it, which got very annoying very quickly.

Spam? You're really reaching there buddy, it's nowhere near enough to qualify as spam. If it was spam I'd fill entire threads with comments, pages and pages of my comments. Give me a break, at most you'd see like three of my comments on one page and I'm not even sure you've seen that much.

Do you really feel it's justified to assassinate my character because I hated this movie? A movie (need I remind you) is critically panned and expects the audience to believe humans evolved from rhinos and pigs, do you really think that movie is worth defending?

Hulk vs Widow was actually pretty different when you look at it. As for the portal, they had that in the 80s but it doesn't matter if they overlooked that. Anyways it was minor so it doesn't matter

Actually real time science here, humans evolved from other beings. The thing Baxter said was legit, the reason we have such a diverse world of humans is because our genes are different from evolution. Each of us have a dormant animal gene that when switched (by a dna switch) could trigger a mutation. Probably not like B&R's mutation but a sort of mutation.

You'll pardon me if I shake my head in disbelief.

And neither does mutation for that matter!

(Takes deep breath)

Human beings share a common ancestor with both pigs and rhinos, the problem is that it looked like this:


Traits like the nose horns evolved in the rhino line, long after it split from the human line, so there shouldn't be a gene for growing nose horns in the human genome. And even if humans evolved from rhinos or rhino like creatures, pigs or pig like creatures did not evolve into something that could mate with something in the human line, they could only evolve separately. If what Baxter said was even remotely true, the theory of evolution would fall apart and we'd have to re-evaluate the evidence.

We share genes with all life one way or the other, there's no dormant animal gene. It's similar genetic codes.

we share 50% DNA with Bananas, but there's not a dormant banana gene in humans.

OR IS THERE

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Maybe not but that would certainly explain the banana mutant from Turtles Forever!

Dang Bry beat me to it....
