Curiously, there is a hint of him dressed as a pirate, as one kid asks what he's supposed to be and he says he's a pirate and points to an eye patch; but it's unknown to the reader until he says/does this.

Will prob go through a lot more of it after work. Curious to see what else there is. Wish they'd put the original script out for comparison to both film and book.
I wouldn't be surprised if this is where the Raph in the wing suit and Leo in street clothes came from. I wonder if it'll explain Leo's 4 fingered hands that the figure had.

I'm sorry, but the creator doesn't need to have full control here. If he tells you it's good, that doesn't mean it's good. George Lucas thinks Episode 5 is the worst Star Wars movie.

You need competence. Have faith in your ideas for Christ's sake.

But that aside, what the **** is this guy smoking? He didn't borrow from anything other than the '80s Cartoon. Hell, they borrowed more from Transformers than they did Ninja Turtles comics.

And what do you mean people have their own idea of the Turtles? The Turtles have been the same for almost every incarnation. They're four, fun brothers who have to stop Shredder, a Japanese ninja that has some serious ties to their origin and their past. Along the way, they have the themes of family, battle new enemies, and make friends and allies to help them.

That's it. That's literally the definitive version of TMNT, and you ****ed it up. You took away Hamato Yoshi, turned the Turtles into hulks, and gave us one-dimensional characters.

God, the fact that this movie's flopping makes me so happy not just 'cause no more PD TMNT movies, but because I don't have to hear Fuller and Form in interviews.

Or that we won't be subjected to anymore inane defenses and praise for a third terrible movie on this godforsaken forum...

Strange question, as TMNT 2 is under performing and probably won't break even with the movie budget and as most of the team are involved in Transformers movies as well. Can they use some of profit the Transformers movies has made to help TMNT 2 like advertising costs, another sequel ect.

Doubtful, as blockbuster movies don't really make profit in that sense.

No. It doesn't make any sense to throw good money after bad.

Transformers is a money making machine regardless if the movies do well or not, Hasbro cares about selling the toys, and they will have toys for the new movie, they are gonna make a ton of money off of it.

Your post makes no sense regarding TMNT, Hasbro ain't making Turtle toys.

Don't blame drugs, some of the most wonderful works were created under the influence of mind altering substances.
