There is one word uttered throughout this ad that makes watching it worthwhile... and it rhymes with "Kang"....

    The last movie was alright. Could have done with less Megan Fox she is just awful.

    She does seem like an odd choice. Not horrible, just weird...

    I wish they would just go with the early comics where April is around 40 something and pretty much acts like their Mom.

    *edit*

    Another thing in most media Shredder and Krang has this dudebro chemistry going on. I hope thats in this movie but I highly doubt it.

    Phyllis Diller's husband is going to be in this one?

    (I'm not old enough to have seen Phyllis Diller's comedy but I am old enough to know who she is and reference her work)

    I've heard the name, but I wouldn't recognize her.

    Her comedy routine usually revolved around her talking about her husband Fang (which rhymes with kang).

    BTW, if you get Syfy they're showing the original TMNT movie right now.

    I'd forgotten how much liberal use of shadow the film used....

    The original film still holds up imo and is loads better than the current movie series with those oversize oger turtles pretending to be ninjas.


    They looks like Shrek!

    Uh, how much bigger are they? They weren't exactly small in the original.

    Well the above screencap is from TMNT 3(which may actually be worse than the current films..) with a diffirent actress as april and new suits that may have been a bit larger, also they are for sure standing on a slope as you can tell by looking at the background.

    but just for clearification here you go:

    Fun fact: TMNT3 had the same actress as TMNT2 :p

    Anyways, I like the new designs. :) The old ones weren't bad, but the new ones aren't either IMO. :)

    Ok this one is a vast improvement. Its nothing more than live action version of the 80's cartoon version it even has the old....you know what I'll just stop there.

    Not as good as the original 1990 TMNT movie but better than all the others.

    I don't have a common hate boner on Bay's movies.

    Ingmar Bergman he's not, but they're watchable popcorn flicks and thankfully he's not "stuck-up-in-his-a**-pretentious-artsy-but-in-reality-can-do-only-hollow-grimderp" Snyder.​​

    All the turtles are male. Misogyny. Where is Venus De Milo?!!?

    In fact I think the whole thing would be better if it was like this..

    Why would reptiles have mammary glands? Female mutant ninja turtles would look almost the same as male ninja turtles . . . except they'd be bigger! OMG! We just cracked the reason Michel Bay's turtles are larger!

    Why would mutated turtles become humanoid at all... o3o clearly there was some human dna being mixed in there and that means boobs! :blush:

    One thing that annoys me about these new movies is Karai is way to old and her and Leo don't have a thing going. Thats like an important part of TMNT lore >_>

    Ever since Nickelodeon took ownership of TMNT they have been somewhat trying to water down their relationship to rivals only in any media. Thats kind of dick move.

    It's a bit weird having a mutant turtle and a human together.... not saying it isn't workable, but I think Nickelodeon decided to emphasize the kid friendly nature, and well, romance plots don't go well there in general.

    Seen a lot odder couples in DC and Marvel, I mean Scarlet Witch married a Robot and in the same issue Mantis married an actual tree.

    Also the whole point of TMNT is its weird. Why they gotta screw with the weird.

    I just can't shake the thought that their faces look like Shrek. If Leatherhead and/or Slash appears in the movie, I might consider watching it. Would also be nice if the chars from IDW comics (e.g. Old Hobb, Alopex) appears in the big screen too.

    I know they are owned by different companies now but Nickelodeon needs to do a deal with Dark Horse to get Usagi Yojimbo in one of those movies.
