It's real, boys and girls. Adjust those green undies and fasten your retro-styled Turtle belts, there's no turning back now.


We've been waiting so long to know hardly anything, I admit there is a tiny twinge of nervousness to find out just what they've made of it. Like that moment waiting just before the band-aid is ripped off.

Just gonna go with low expectations and hope it doesn't meet them, I guess. From above, not below. I could accept something cute (for this one) that does clearly lean in toward a Spider-Verse style of film. Just please don't make me cringe or hate the characterization, that's all I ask of this one.

Honestly, the fact that it's a cartoon has me more interested in it ... and also, the designs don't reek of Bay/Rise abominations so I'm much more intrigued with where they go.

Again, I'll never be a fan of Raph's full bandana but I guess I can't do anything about it at this point lol :trolley:

If we ever get another live-action film, I would hope they'd go classic with the look but I won't hold my breath.

I’m very curious if nothing else. Excited to see what they came up with even if I dislike it. I just find it interesting.

Going in to the first trailer with an open mind.

I want to like it. Please make it look good.

I can accept some alterations and deviations from the source material, but it needs to feel TRUE to the turtles, unlike Rise.

I agree with others going in openminded. I am hoping its better than Rise/Bayturtles.

Here's to hoping it plays within the first 15 min of the 1 1/2 hour time slot and not the last 5... The awards show ads and the way that girl talks (who is apparently someone from social media ) have been annoying enough. Will try to check it out via tv, but not sure I'll make it.

The main thing throwing me off is the storyboard we saw.

If I hadn’t seen that I’d be hoping that maybe they are going to capture the vibe of the arcade games, best case scenario.

... Well, it's kind of difficult to be worse than the PD movies, you almost have to try to accomplish that or at least be so incompetent that you can't do better.

If you disliked Rise, I'd wager it may have many of the traits that were either genuinely bad about Rise or at least the ones perceived of as such, so I doubt many people who were disillusioned with Rise are going to be pleasantly surprised by this.
Spoiler:
Unless of course their distaste of Rise begins and ends with a lack of familiar characters from the Fred Wolf cartoon, then they'll be more likely to defend this movie based on the mere fact that Leatherhead wears a hat again...

...........

Edit: So the first award winner was an online person and the second (3rd?) accepted and immediately started preaching Jesus. Off to a weird start.

Alright, three things:
  1. I'm guessing the two different actors confirm that Superfly is not the same character as Baxter Stockman.
  2. I'm surprised we're getting an Utrom character who is not Krang and that Krang just doesn't seem to be a character at all.
  3. I'm surprised Hollywood still wants to associate with Jackie Chan after... Well, after he said some things that I would make him hated in his home town...

what about Jackie?

Giancarlo as Baxter is pretty cool imo. A step up from Tyler Perry.
I also like Jackie as Splinter.

I am unfamiliar with the actual turtle and April actors but am willing to give them a chance.

He praised the Communist Party of China. The same Communist party that threatens to destroy the rights and privileges of Hong Kong, which are the rights and privileges that got him where is today. He's effectively supporting the destruction of his home town.

Basically he’s a Chinese Judas. Real shame, I used to like him, and I grew up watching “Jackie Chan Adventures”.

Also, female Leatherhead? Of course. I should’ve known Rogen would genderbend at least one of the characters. He just can’t help himself.

I was right. I know him playing this part might be nepotism since he is an executive producer of the film, but he really nailed Pumbaa’s voice. The director also must’ve had Seth Rogen in mind for the part when he first brought on for it.

Hearing him opposite John Cena as Rocksteady is going to be fun.

LOL I was so put off that this wasn't a real trailer and unimpressed with the group of kids I immediately forgot about that part... Yeah that was...something.
