I totally agree. I really, really dislike that one. Additionally, the plastron is too skinny.

Well mike's character does seem to be morphing into a more pathetic protrayal in each incarnation. 2k3 wasn't so bad, but fast forward and TMNT the movie seemed to throw him under the kiddy train. This could be an even bolder move than making him seem childish. Making him seem feminine.

Shush! Let me live with a glimmer of hope for the next 6 months that that's not the case!

^ honestly I doubt it is but it really woudn't shock me beyond belief if they did continue to rape his character to death

Oh, I fully expect it... *sigh*

*Revan* · 03-25-2008, 05:56 PM

oh sad

really is a shame that he can't mature for longer than 22 minutes before reverting back

I would like them to be a little taller and I for them to have pupils

*Revan* · 03-25-2008, 06:18 PM

Taller than what? They seemed quite capable in previous seasons. Or do you mean taller than the preliminary art?

While I agree that they are quite capable in the previouse seasons, I just feel that they are shorter then most other people. Yeah, I know they aren't human and height has nothing to do with their ability to fight. Yet I just wish they were a little taller then April.

I think the deal with the top right drawing is the posing more then the sketch. If that mikey stood next to the one below him the upper drawer would end up being taller or at least have longer legs.
The way he is standing seems like a good dynamic Mikey pose though.
It just looks like he is looking at someone thinking "Yeah I am about to kick your butt"
That one and the center left his head is noticeably very small.

It is true that Mikey's build seems to be getting smaller and Raph seems to be getting bigger, I always noticed that in FF when there was really no difference in 2K3. It did bug the heck out of me.

I think in the new movie the size difference was probably because they seemed to be pushing the age difference. You are right Nuetrino Mikey is starting to stand out way too much. I hope these sketches are leading back to the build in 2K3 and if they have to do height/build differences they aren't so drastic. Actually their heights by comparison to everyone else seemed very appropriate in 2K3 too.

I think pupils with masks is a little busy or something, I dunno I just don't really care for it. Plus without pupils looks more hardcore. Pupils are fine if the masks are off.

*Roseangelo* · 03-25-2008, 07:59 PM

I think the pupils are part of their attempt to kinda-sorta match the style we saw in the movie. Of course, absolutely nothing else resembles the movie. At all.

Haha I know, with the budget cuts we will be lucky if we don't just get some polygons running around on the screen.
Seriously though they need to leave the eyes alone, it just isn't going to look right probably

I actually think it has potential to work if they do it right. They could do it like the teaser trailer where they had no pupils at the start when they were all bad ass.

And then that didn't happen in the actual movie. At all.

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 03-25-2008, 08:09 PM

Yeah the scenes where they were jumping rooftops in the dark. That is true they could add them for casual scenes or light scenes and take them out for action or night/shadowy scenes...

Exactly. And the concept really isn't radically different from what we have already seen in 2K3 where they suddenly grow pupils if they don't have their masks on.

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 03-25-2008, 08:17 PM

ah It's that happy medium I have heard so much about...lol
It all sounds good to me though, let's hope they do it

and this is what dissapoints me so much as a Michaelangelo fan. 2k3 Mikey could be so great if his character was treated with the same respect as the other turtles.

We Mikey fans are always getting screwed

I feel that Mikey pre-FF was where it was at. But then he became some sort of generified child, and the rest of the characters flagged off too. Raph's tough guy demeanor was changed into general crankiness. Donny was just a straight up technogeek. And the worst one was Splinter being a goofy father figure/ generic old person (I gotta watch my stories). I don't mind Mikey being immature, as long as he's still awesome in battle. Remember, they are teenagers that usually want to have fun, but have the heavy burden of their duties as ninjas to hang onto. I could forgive what happened on the level that it's a lighter series, and they didn't have such a general threat, but even then,... lame character writing.

*Tinuvielsdreams* · 03-26-2008, 01:43 PM

I like his fun side a lot, I liked him in 2k3 very much actually. I mean he had his moments when he got to be a little too much but he was no where near as goofy as in the recent movie. Mikey seems to have been labeled as the comedy relief.

*Scandia* · 03-26-2008, 04:58 PM

I honestly think he was more mature in the 2k7 movie than in the 2k3 cartoon. At least in the movie he had a job and did not do anything horrendously obnoxious. He was clearly the comic relief, but in a good way. If anyone was immature and over the to pin the new movie, it was Raphael.
