I Don't Know Why I Love (Insert Here), But I Do

Ok so originally I was just making this topic for my post, but I figured, eh, let other people use it for theirs as well if they want. lol

So anyway, the thing I don't know why I love but do, is Megan Fox's April O'Neil.

Now, when I first saw the movie, I hated her April. I mean if I could think of one phrase to describe her back then it would be batshit crazy. I mean those scenes of her with the tapes of the turtles and how she even freaked out her roommate.

But now, and I don't know when it happened, but all of a sudden I love her April, I think for the fact that she's batshit crazy.

I mean it is kinda refreshing in a way, April's always the straight character.

So, uh... you're saying that Megan Fox did a performance that was so bad that it went past being bad and somehow came out as good?

Maybe? Was the batshit crazy angle the result of bad acting? I mean it could be yeah, overacting and all. But then there's roommates reaction so I kinda leaning towards it being intentional.

See, the roommate is who we need more of. lol But she was the only smart human character, she got out when she could.

Really though, I'd love for her to still have contact with April and continue to think she's nuts. Make it like a running gag through films.

I'd contribute a like to this, but generally I do know why I like what I like...

To try & make good use of this thread I'll say Raph's Campbell's Soup arm guard. So wrong, yet, resourceful/clever.

I actually liked how the lair and their gear seemed designed from ordinary objects they found in the trash... as opposed to, say, the 2003 series where they have really nice computers and TVs and stuff.

Donnie's tech Bo Staffs. As silly as they are I really like them though wonder why they didn't use a regular Bo staff.

Eric sacks. He seems like a good character who could do well as a stand alone villain without white shredder reshoot drama. and wasn't the roommate kind of a missed Irma opportunity. Even just calling her Irma would beat taylor.


Also loved Knoxville as Leo.

Eh, I know why I love April, the batshit crazy thing.

I mostly just made the topic as such since as far as I know the majority thought on these movies is Not Good. So I figured I'd make a title fitting with that. Y'know, for funny. Probably should of said that in my opening post though.

Eel sushi. I have no idea why, but it's delicious.

Tastes like the ocean but in a good way. Nice and light.

If it's unagi nigiri and not in a roll then it's nice and warm from being cooked and the edges are just crisp enough, and that eel sauce? Oh man. Don't even get me started.

Raphael's design is the least bad of all the Turtles. You barely notice the nostrils on him. If all the Turtles looked like Raph it wouldn't be that bad.

Seriously....? I like his the least, in terms of nose it just looks a bit dog-like to me. I still say he's got some bulldog genes in there or something. (Which I suppose could make sense, why would you experiment exactly the same on several different lab animals.)

Classic 'Cubed complaint.

One thing no one seems to talk about is Raph's little speech at the end, when they're all about to die. I liked that. But then they turned it into another lame-ass joke and negated it.

Well, I have seen people talk about it, but only how he was talking normally while the fall was passing in slow motion.

As such, at normal speed, he'd be chipmunk'd
