Boycott Rogen TMNT

[Roseangelo]

At this point in time, I do not plan to spend money to see this movie.

[FrederikWolferson]

I never planned on seeing it anyway.

[TigerClaw]

I still plan to see it regardless of how it turns out.

of course you would. you are a shill. you would be happy if someone slapped the TMNT logo on a pile of feces .

This dude nailed it:

(Warning: Language and loads of stupidity on Rogen’s part)

[Andrew NDB]

I don't hate or even dislike Rogen. I'm disappointed in him, as a fan of his movies. He isn't the guy for the job and it is as simple as that.

[Barkworm]

What exactly does he do in this film apart from voicing Bebop? I mean the trailer says ´from Seth Rogen‘ but he didn‘t write or direct the thing.

He's one of a few producers. And we know he presided over the writers room. But yeah, that's about it. I'm not sure the push against Rogen is necessarily the right or justified way to push anger about this thing.

[AquaParade]

Rogen seems like a decent guy to me who does care about the projects he works on.

This is on Nick choosing the direction imo.

[IMJ]

Like I said, it's very clearly a movie using repurposed Rise assets or even simply what the Rise movie was intended to be.

Sorry, but I disagree with you. There’s nothing “decent” about him. If I had a Twitter account, I’m sure I’d be one of the women he’d threaten to physically harm because of my opinions.

And he clearly cares more about ticking off hardcore TMNT fans than he cares about TMNT itself. Why else would he racebend April as well as make her obese and unattractive? It clearly worked since the Internet went completely nuts and everyone is biting each other’s heads off over the controversy.

[Sir5R]

People actually want to see this can o'turd? Really. Lol

I didn't know he was threatening people because of their opinions. What's that about?

We don't know if April's race was even his decision but I wouldn't say it makes him a bad person.

[Barkworm]

I've seen my share of Seth Rogen films, both ones he just acted in and stuff he wrote and directed. I enjoyed most of it. But whatever people might associate with him - is it present in the teaser? Because Rogen is all about rather crass comedy to me, often stoner-themed. Sure, they made the decision to place his name in the trailer prominently. But for those familiar with his work, I don't think his influence is super obvious here.

Either he was high as he was tweeting or he was simply showing his true colors.

Every animated thing he has produced so far involves racebending, genderbending, and/or some other form of woke nonsense. Take Invincible, for example. In the original comics, Amber was a white blonde woman, and in the animated show, she was changed to an insufferable black feminist who is universally hated no matter what race or gender the fans are. Also, Green Ghost was originally male but was genderbent in the animated adaptation. And let’s not forget the other “masterpiece” that he also produced: Santa Inc.

So giving black TMNT fans a fat blackface April for “representation” makes him a good person? All he needs is a capirote and he’s good to go!

Eh. I don't care about chubby black April but it's an improvement over Megan Fox' stupid and useless April.

What if she ends up being stupid, useless, and chubby?

Then she's still not Megan Fox.

[IndigoErth]

The fictional chubby girl in 10 seconds of screen time in a teaser already showed less wooden acting and more smarts than Fox's version, so it's something, I guess.

I'm willing to wait until we see more of how she's characterized, not just simply what she looks like, before having any solid opinion of her. I at least like that she seems inquisitive and smart, at least from those few seconds.

You guys talk about the same sh*t every day oh my god give it a break already
