If ANYONE ever says that, I think we're all allowed to go full Mirage Casey Jones on their ass with baseball bats and hockey sticks. And golf clubs.

I know right? People make a big thing about "April defeating Shredder", she didn't. She just delivered the final blow. There's a difference. They make it sound like she went toe-to-toe with him or something.

Tell that to Nick.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating; the absence of blood is wrong. The absence of guilt, repercussions, or some form of PTSD from committing violent acts, is wrong.
Teaching the consequences would be better 'parenting' than excluding them.

Or at the very least, handcuffs and long PowerPoint presentations. (It's not really holding people hostage against their will as long as we willingly let them go after they've learned and accepted the facts, right? lol)

Agree. Heck, for society's sake it's sorely needed.

Splinter screwed himself by closing that gate and locking the Turtles out. If the Turtles had jumped in and helped Splinter when he was beating up the Shredder, the five of them could have taken him out easily. The foot never would have captured the Turtles, and the movie would have been an hour shorter.

But we wouldn't have the one pivotal scene that was more or less the sole reason the movie was made, that sweet sweet cgi-fest Snow Chase.

Or an hour of that stuff out of the way and room for a better quality story? I know, wishful thinking.

True... if I recall correctly, some article or whatever a while ago suggested that scene was part of the pitch for the film, right?

It was sort of the middle "BOOM" scene in the original Blue Door script, too.

The same sort of "wow!" scene that you put in the trailers, the "Dark Knight" Joker eighteen-wheeler kinda scene. They mighta lost alien Turtles and "hawt turtle babes", but PD was damned if they were gonna lose their snowchase.

[Foombamaroom]

The first 'BOOM' scene in Blue Door was the snow-chase. Then it was the train scene, and next was the Technodrome.

And I feel like the Turtles are going to take Krang out (going by how he was defeated in the Blue Door script) in this movie. Still expecting Casey and April to be the main characters, though. Because who wants a movie about the Turtles, right? Commenter, add that to your list.

"Wait, a TMNT movie about the Turtles themselves? Wow. That's so stupid."

Jesus, I'm wondering what they're gonna say when they remake Transformers.

Nah, the first major action sequence was Mikey getting grabbed and the other three Turtles rescuing him from a Humvee. Or something like that...

hmmm? We must've read a different script, then. I remember the Turtles rescued him from the base, and then they all went down that hill.

I'd re-read to check which one of us is right, but I don't want to lay eyes on that thing ever again.

I feel the same way. Was it a base? Okay, I think you're right. But rescuing Mikey is definitely the first big scene with the Turtles. I didn't remember it leading directly into the snowslide chase, but as you, I try to block it from my memory except whenever I need to educate the ignorant on here regarding its horrors.

Like, Leo eye-f***ing Raph.

Or some of Raph's dialogue.
"And we don't just know it, we serve it for dinner!"

Still not as bad as Mikey ending up in Dimension X with a hawt Turtle babe.

[SS Kakarot]

Not sure if this was posted yet, forgive me if it has.
I noticed a shot in the Spanish trailer that was not in the US version:

*sigh* How exactly does anyone write such lines and just not see it; how that's going to sound. How.

Come to think of it, I'm almost just slightly disappointed there was no concept art for said "hawt Turtle babes." The epic proportions of horror of what could have been might have been most entertaining.

Unless of course it was among the concept art for those alien ones, in which case...

Our eyes have bled enough without seeing Michael Bay's Venus de Milo concept art.

...

Oh NO. I just realized. If there had been a TMNT: Blue Door 2, it would have had Venus de Milo as a fifth Turtle. THAT'S why Bay included "hawt Turtle chick" in the final moment of the script.

I remember reading blue door and thinking how it actually reads like a bad dream; no rhyme or reason to anything, but moments of half forgotten nostalgia (for John Q public)...like the mexican blanket bandana thing... or a bad guy with spikes...

Blue door is all still around...I think the ideas that weren't used before will rear their ugly heads again...
I wouldn't be shocked if the turtles were STILL from dimension X in the sequel...or, they end up trapped on the otherside, where they meet .... MORE TURTLES.

Still, Blue door is all still around...They kept most of the ideas...and i think the ones that weren't used before will rear their ugly heads again...

They will absolutely be reusing as much of Blue Door as they can. I'm still expecting a Splinter versus Bebop and Rocksteady showdown... although, honestly, that was an okay part of the Blue Door script.
