Question for people who have seen the new movie (spoilers)

Hi,

I watched the movie yesterday and enjoyed it for what it is.

My question is when Shredder got frozen and stored in the technodrome could anyone make out any of the other frozen statues???

I thought I saw one of the pizza monsters, from the cartoon. The one that looks like a xenomorph. But it went by so fast, I thought, "they must not have been trying to show us anything." We need a still.

I THOUGHT I saw Usagi Yojimbo, but that might've been me looking for something that wasn't there. Like others have said, the only noticeable one is the Triceraton.

If Usagi is in the next film, I'd faint.

They need to get him in the Nick tmnt asap though.

So Shredder is frozen in Dimension X at the film's end? I was hoping to get something resolved with him.

The biggest disappointment plot-wise was no fight between the TMNT and Shredder. Instead of have Shredder finally with his helmet frozen over have Shredder and Krang work together and Krang then freeze him because Krang wanted to do the honors?

Shredder was a full on one bloated egoist and treated Baxter like crap (calling him a "footnote"). He betrayed Baxter's loyalty and trust, throwing him away after he had helped him so much! That was such an arrogant and foolish act which smacked him back in the face later on.

When the table had turned and Krang betrayed the Shredder - what happened to him? He was imprisoned like a mere collectable statue, a complete disgrace and pure humiliation. If he had Baxter he could still help him out as much as he could. Not anymore.

I think it's a fitting end for the Shredder; he betrayed and got betrayed back. Justice. I like that ending very much for now.
But we all know he's gonna escape for the next one anyway.

I think it's a fitting end for the Shredder imo. I like that ending very much for the moment. We all know he's gonna escape for the next one anyway.

Sigh. If only we could have a "next one". This movie's gonna flop so hard.

In the end I guess it does make sense store-wise. I mean the entire reason he created Bebop and Rocksteady was because the turtles are too physically strong for The Foot. He was able to take them on in his armor in the first 1 but he doesn't have that this time. It's disappointing but makes sense considering what the first film established about the turtles.

Along with the botched origin, this is one of those poor early decisions that kinda tanks the overall concept for this series of movies -- making the Turtles into super-strong Hulks really limits the kind of action you can put them in and takes them way out of the "ninja" side of that spectrum.

If you've made a movie where the Turtles pretty much can't fight ninjas in a compelling way with any stakes, you've made a pretty huge mistake.

True. They had to pretty much make due with what they had because of the mistakes of the first one. I liked that they used it as an opportunity to justify Bebop and Rocksteady. They worked out really well because they're fun and credible threats to the turtles. Judging by the course correction work on this one I think its safe to say though that they'd probably do things a bit differently if they had to do it again.

Yeah you were just seeing things because Usagi would beat the crap out of Krang and never be taken prisoner by him. LOL! Honestly I wondered who were in the cages as well and thought maybe there were some easter eggs there.
