Shredder reminds me of IDW, which is a great route to go.

Okay. Doesn't make it the right way to go.
The OT got me into the Turtles. I love it. Don't want to see it adapted to live action. |

i think the issue is, people are treating the OT like more than what it really was
the OT got the turtles to be what they are today...yes if it wasnt for the OT Turtle Mania would never have happened HOWEVER pass to first 10 episodes..the OT has no real story that can easily be adapted into a live action film now you can borrow elements from it and make a great film..but now with these guys at the wheel

my absolute favorite storyline of the Turtles is from the comics - a story titled: the 49th Street Stompers - but I will never see it in film format, nor should I ever expect to. |

That is a great story, and I would have been amazing to see it in Live-action with the same care and dedication like Daredevil got.

Fight the Foot crew made a pretty good looking Raph costume, with a higher budget and some tweaking and add the rest of the brothers, it could have been pretty sweet.

Never liked that, the few times I've seen it. Makes them look like they're wearing a sleeveless shirt. Fantastic suit otherwise. |

I have said this many times before but the people behind these movies just don't seem to "get" it. They altered their plans to make the turtles aliens and even gave us a Japanese Shredder but didn't really include the reasons why fans wanted those things so badly.
They've seemingly gone into overdrive to deliver all kinds of fan pleasing elements in this sequel so if they happened to read the general reactions I can picture them scratching their heads wondering "we're giving them everything they wanted; what more could they want?" Firstly while this movie looks to visually give us more of what we expect from TMNT I don't think there's any guarantee that it's story and characters will be any better done. We still have the same writers and what looks like the same hallmarks like the myriad celebrity support roles and Megan Fox in situations designed to humorously titillate. But mostly it doesn't seem to have really learned any sense of balance. Throwing so many concepts and characters at us fan favorite or not has ruined many a movie. It also doesn't look like they've really fixed the identity crisis the last movie had. They tried to meld Dark Knight-esque realism with ultra goofy stuff, this isn't exactly a bad idea in fact if any franchise suited that approach it would be TMNT but it really needs the people to making it to "get" it, to understand which elements to present in which tone. It's like they didn't have a sense of balance and that seems to have gotten worse. Here we have a realistic and menacing looking (at least compared to the last movie) Shredder and the Foot intermingling with Bebop and Rocksteady which look like they've stepped right out of the Fred Wolf show. I think even the biggest Fred Wolf fan would concede there's elements that don't lend themselves well to a semi-serious live action movie. For years fans debated whether the movies should veer more towards Mirage Comics for their inspiration or the Fred Wolf show. Boosters of the latter often argued that characters like Bebop and Rocksteady needn't be bungling oafs but genuinely menacing characters but does the above picture look like they wont be bungling oafs? How is that going to mesh with what looks like a more serious Shredder? Last edited by Galactus; 05-28-2015 at 07:32 PM. |

Yeah, Bebop & Rocksteady look way over the top here. Not great. I mean, if they were going for the absurd angle, they're perfect, but this sh*t's supposed to be "grounded in reality" & they've done nothing but contradict their own agenda from the start.

A similar contrast in IDW happened with Bebop and Rocksteady, looking Fred Wolf - like, but that didn't seem to eliminate their effectiveness. Mind you, I don't trust these writers to meld seperate elements as successfully as IDW has.
