Paramount Moves ‘TMNT’ To August 8, 2014 - Page 4

FlogginMcMurryZombiePizza · 08-15-2013, 11:03 PM

If crap like Grown Ups 2 can be box office gold, I dont see how TMNT wouldn't do well.
It's not a new property, like Pacific Rum. And we do not represent the majority fanbase. I would be surprised if this didn't make a lot of money in the box office.

I would honestly rather see a follow up to the CG TMNT movie...

I'm not too bummed~ we can gather alot more TMNT fans by then!!

Yep. They're protecting their number 1 proven money-maker.

Oh well.

People said that about the first 4 films. At least the people I run into, especially online.

Oh wow, super hardcore Mirage! Blood, guts and beer. All red bandanas, badass turtles and... oh wait, is that the Party Wagon?! This movie is for babies, lets go home, dude. I got some hardcore ninja turtle books to read.

Please.

Hardcore presumably means 'completely in the vein' of, in this context.

And who honestly gives a s*it about the source material? The franchise has done fine without it.

Woooow you people like to dump all over the Mirage books. You folks do realize that if the original books didn't exist there would be no Turtles, right? That aside, everyone keep waving your opinions around like they're some holy relic with the answer to all things written on them. It's good entertainment.

Not to mention classic characters like April, Casey, leatherhead and the rat king. Without the utroms in mirage thee would be no Kraang in the new show.

I personally don’t think Paramount is done yet. I can see them moving it again to later in the year. I think it would thrive in November.

I know that and appreciate that they existed.

Doesn't mean that I have to think they're great books.

From all indications it's Fred Wolf TMNT: The Movie through and through, with a series of Michael Bayisms injected into the mix to boot.

That's quintessentially, in and of itself, the antithesis of the source material.

And I don't mind that its loosely based on the Fred Wolf series, Because that was my very first exposure to TMNT.

*CyberCubed* · 08-16-2013, 11:06 AM

But it's nothing like the OT.

Shredder is white, the Foot are military, there is no Krang, and the Turtles have humanoid faces.

Exactly. We owe a lot of stuff to the originals.

In that same spirit, doesn't mean you have to crap all over it either.

Expressing my opinion that I didn't care for the books is crapping on it?

Wanna just stop any and all negative comments towards anything ever? No opinions for anyone? The mirage comics aren't some sacred cow.

Wait a second, where are you getting the idea there is no Krang, and the Turtles have humanoid faces?

I wasn't specifically talking about you and yes, Stryker. I want to end all negative comments ever about anything, that's exactly what I said isn't it? Jesus get the **** over yourself.
