then prolongs the torture by giving you hints that your love ones are being watched, and anyday, any time they would be murdered, or even horrendously tortured. honestly i think they're gonna give him a nazi origin like in the original script. it irks me once, but he could have a nazi/japanese family connection.

What the hell is wrong with you?

Not "Part 5", a fifth movie, yes. But it is a reboot and not part of any other continually.

Whatever. It's all mostly horrible.

*shrugs* Krang's origins are all screwed up in the FW series. The old daily comic strips claim he's an Utrom, though.

I don't know if we ever get the term "Krangazoids" as an official name, but the Fred Wolf cartoon and TMNT Adventures are both quite explicit in the fact that he's the disembodied brain of a Dimension X warlord.

Except that one time where they screw up in the Fred Wolf cartoon and show a bunch of brain-looking Krang-type creatures in a flashback. But the official story is still that he's an alien brain, rather than a brain-looking alien species a la the Utroms.

As the flashback in question shows a "Krang" with a mustache, I wonder how canon it is to Krangs actual looks. Personally I really like the concept art of Normal-Krang's action figure.

i'm optimistic about the film. i'm also open minded about change. also if they give hints to the 2003, again, but who knows what will happen, might suck, might not, alls i know is i'm gonna see the film

[Powder]

Optimism has absolutely nothing to do with hopes of torture and nazism in a TMNT film... Freak.

Especially since Karai is apparently still Japanese. Why white Shredder?

I'm going in expecting an absolute disaster, I'm gonna make sure I won't be let down. There is no possible way this can be worse than I'm expecting. I feel everybody should go in that way, never be let down. Can only be an improvement

Plus, Ken Watanabe wore the trademark green suit and had similar facial hair too albeit not as spot on as Liam's. Also, Ra's is Arabic and it sort of made more sense to me that they would change him to Asian (ninjas, anyone?) than a white guy. Still, Liam killed it as Ra's and he is my favorite portrayal of him.

What gets me is how they repeatedly mispronounce his name. Batman Beyond even went out of its way to point out how to say it! Blerg. http://youtu.be/FNqnQSQHDhk

EDIT: Never mind, it was the decoy at the end of the movie with the funny glued on mustache who had the green suit. But yeah, the rest of my points still stand.

Oh God, I hated their pronunciation of Ra's. I expected him to start groaning in that grating annoying Ras Monster's Ink voice,"I'm waaatching you, Brucey! Aaaalways waaaatching!"

And I love that glorious fallback position the cast/crew of the TMNT movie journeys to every time they get a bit of flack.

"Don't worry! There's explosions! The turtles are unlike anything you've ever seen! The Shredder is unlike anything you've ever seen! Vernon is unlike any cameraman you've ever seen!" It's always about the visuals. Unlike anything I've ever seen, huh? Jokes on you, cast and crew! Your visual distractions have no effect on me! I'll be keeping a close eye, so to speak, on your plot instead!

Man, I love you BT.

As Jonash says at the end of Ghostbusters II,"Well I love you too!" haha

I care what I'm seeing yes, but I'm not a baby, I don't watch it for the cool colors and weird motions, if you are gonna keep talking about visuals make a 2 hour video of Leonardo dangling keys. It's all about the cinematic experience, plot and all.
