Should the Turtles swear in the new movie? - Page 6

No, tmnt is kids entertainment and should not have cussing in it. I don't like the fact that the 1990 movie had cussing in it either.

Technically it didn't. Damn and Hell aren't considered cursing.
Though I'm not saying kids should go around screaming them.

TMNT is entertainment for everyone. Lest we forget the hundreds of adult comics that are out there...

TMNT started off as a comic book that wasn't specifically aimed at kids, and was a parody/homage of many comics of the time, with heavy Frank Miller influence. If TMNT is kids entertainment, then so is Batman.

This really is the first time I've ever heard anyone say this. I'm finding it really strange...

this is a perfect example

@snakeweed 101.
I respectfully disagree with d*** and h*** not being swear words. I was always taught growing up that they were, in fact, swear words. And, if TMNT is not strictly kids entertainment, then I would at least consider it "kids & family entertainment." I believe this is because of the influence of the OT. When the Liebesman/Bay movie comes out next year, I wouldn't doubt if much of the audience will consist of young children and their parents.

**Jester** · 08-31-2013, 11:23 PM

It's all a question of scale. "Damn" and "hell" are mild swears. and everything is saltier from there...

Then again anything you say in anger is a swear word. I could scram "BROOM STICK!" when angry and it's be a swear word.

So your family sheltered you, huh? Damn, that's one hell of a shame.

As for the turtles being strictly for kids/family, let's not continue to deny the existence of the other half of the fanbase. The one who enjoys comics that feature heads getting lopped off, Mikey impregnating a chick, the excess use of guns, swearing, and other morbid/depressing themes.

Bo Staff. · 09-01-2013, 09:04 AM

Well, on a different note, though, although I don't want cussing in the new movie, I DO hope it features the turtles actually using their weapons in a visible way. Not in a gory way, but at least in an "actiony" way. One of the worst things about TMNT is the action being censored in some versions. Sorry if this was off-topic from the actual discussion.

There's nothing "sheltered" in learning from your parents.

*Powder* · 09-02-2013, 04:55 PM

No, but there is if you become an adult and somehow never managed to think for yourself due to things being heavily impressed upon you.

cryan · 09-02-2013, 05:37 PM

Well, if Michael Bay is involved in making the new TMNT movie. Yeah, there will be some swearing.

*Hero* · 09-02-2013, 06:44 PM

No need for swearing wherever and whatever.

Splinter wouldn't endorse it

.

*TigerClaw* · 09-02-2013, 06:48 PM

Either way, We'll probably hear words like Damn coming from Raph since hes the only one whose the tough guy.

*Electric* · 09-02-2013, 08:50 PM

yes, tmnt is kids entertainment, but a lot of times, with movies like this atleast, where they bring comics/cartoons to life, they are meant to appeal to an older audience, while still being enjoyable for kids.

I want them to swear, withing reason (no f bombs or anything close to that), in the new movie. but i dont want it to be forced or overdone.

after all they are teenagers, for someone like raph, damn or hell wouldnt be ridiculous for him to throw out there.

Funny when you think about things that Splinter wouldn't endorse....in the OT, Splinter condemned violence, but at the same time, he was a ninja master who devoted his life to teaching the turtles to fight...very ironic and bad writing in my opinion. Don't get me wrong, I love the OT, but Splinter is a master of Ninutsu, not an Abbott.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 09-02-2013, 10:07 PM

Actually, he didn't condemn violence, but UNNECESSARY or POINTLESS violence. Defending oneself or others is acceptable in his view, but harming others is not. Big difference. And while he was peaceful by nature, he WAS a Ninja Master. Like many martial-artists, I suspect he is Buddhist. With perhaps a heavy Shinto influence.

what does thinking for yourself have to do with swearing???

*Coola Yagami* · 09-02-2013, 10:35 PM

It's a Micheal Bay related film. Expect swearing, masterbation jokes and the turtles joking about which one gets to nail April first.

Technogeek29 · 09-02-2013, 10:51 PM

I don't mind the Turtles swearing but just, no going over board with it like, almost every scene has some swearing in it. So yeah pretty much the first movie which was light on the swearing to.
