I don't care if you enjoyed it or not. That has nothing to do with me. I've said multiple times on this forum that if someone enjoyed the movie, I'm sincerely happy for them. Just because I dislike and make fun of these movies doesn't mean I'm attacking you personally. Other opinions don't invalidate your own.

And honestly, if I had the time I could quote a dozen or more instances of you antagonizing and flat-out insulting people here... So, sorry, but you really can't act like you're not part of that particular problem. Not meant as an attack -- most of us have been guilty of letting it go too far.

Things are messy enough already. Let's not make them messier. We can all just drop it right now if we want to. Let's do the olive-branch thing.

I've never said that either. I've said that I feel its basic story is the best launching point for a movie series, but I never said it's the "only way" to do it.

Like, I totally get and agree with the reverence for Mirage, but I don't expect everyone to. There've been so many wildly-different variations to this property that it's pretty unrealistic to expect that, I think.

Even Mirage fans know you don't want to stick 100% to all of Mirage.

Wholeheartedly agree. But there's still that large percentage of episodes that were pitifully thrown together with no fu*ks given at any level of production, save for the voice department.

OT has a handful of good episodes, but PDMT is nothing like OT.

It's vomit on diarrhea soaked in yogurt and urine.

OK, time to chime in here. While the Mirage comics are by no means perfect and a faithful adaptation may not actually be the best way to go, the concepts, characters and stories are more suitable for a movie than those originating from a rushed saturday morning cartoon.

I understand the bias of wanting to see Bebop, Rocksteady and Krang in a movie but their inclusion does not make this a good movie. Their inclusion does in fact hurt the movie's quality because of how annoying they are, which is more or less how they were in the cartoon.

Wanting Bebop, Rocksteady and Krang in a movie is kind of like wanting "Star Wars Episode X: Jar Jar Binks' Adventures with the Ewoks"

Honestly, I rewatched the pitch and it actually seems pretty good. The turtle chick I'm just chill with cause its at the end of the movie and the part about Donnie saving the scientists could've had a bit more. What I'm saying is he could've had Donnie say "No, no I can save the scientists" or something like that. Like he wants to save them to prove he is smart. As for Leo and the Foot Clan he did say they saw him so the Foot could've been fighting off Krang's soldiers. It sounds like they would've gone the IDW route or somehow added Hamato Yoshi. The thing about Bebop and Rocksteady befriending the turtles I can see, it would probably work out well considering their persona's in the new movie minus the turtle hatred. I thought the part where the scientists allow Donnie to meet with them was cool. The thing was alright, but how does Baxter find out about the turtles? Perhaps he could have something to do with SHREDDER?! We won't know cause this is a pitch. Anyways its alright, I would say good but I would like to see some sort of screen adaptation. TO BLENDER!

this is gonna take a while...

Stockman studied the mutagen with Dr. O’Neil and Eric Sacks. So it's not hard to believe that Sacks told him about the Turtles.
