Old_Nash Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 The movie have much of cartoon reference. The Turtles save the April from a thugs. She uses a yellow jacket, she have a dizzy after meet them (ok, it have in all versions)... Baxter a white man. Quote
Duke Togo Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 No, what I mean is I had heard that in the new movie they were literally aliens, and they were dropping "mutant" from the movie title. Quote
Tking22 Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 No, what I mean is I had heard that in the new movie they were literally aliens, and they were dropping "mutant" from the movie title. It looks like Mutant was dropped from the title, and yet they are indeed mutants and not aliens, so I don't really get what they're doing. Quote
Duke Togo Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 Mutant is in the title, which is why I brought it up. Quote
Chewie Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 They reversed that change awhile ago. They DID drop it at one point though and aliens was being thrown around. Quote

peter Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 (edited) I think you’re getting mixed up because of this phuktard named Michael Bay. He did say at one point in time that he was dropping the mutant bit, and he was going for something new, and edgy. I forgot what his exact words were, and they were actually stated by him on that steaming pile of crap known as his website, with a bunch of MB fan boys cheering him on and telling him how great he was, but then somewhere down the road, he retracted this words and to the effect that he was only joking or he was misunderstood, or maybe that he never said such a thing. Who the hell knows. Oh, wait, I think I found some of the links: TMNT are now aliens: http://popwatch.ew.com/2012/03/19/michael-bay-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-aliens/?hpt=hp_t2 “When you see this movie, kids are going to believe one day these turtles actually do exist when we are done with this movie,” said Bay as he took the stage to discuss his new vision for the reptilian reboot. “These turtles are from an alien race, and they are going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely loveable.” TMNT are now not aliens: http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/04/28/its-the-ooze-michael-bay-confirms-that-the-alien-ninja-turtle-plans-have-been-scrapped/ There was that quote saying that we’re making [the Ninja Turtles as] aliens. We’re not. It’s the ooze! It’s from the original source material. These are from the original writers, and I never went out to correct myself in the press. I do listen to the fans and I do want this to be authentic. I think they’re going to be really happy with this movie. When I see the digital stuff, the turtles look great. Anyway, Shredder is no longer Oroku Saki? Edited March 27, 2014 by peter Quote
PetarB Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 As a fan of the original Eastman and Laird comic - when it came out - I think I no longer care about the 'modern' takes on TMNT. Having said this, the trailer doesn't exactly inspire confidence. I don't know what to think... Quote
peter Posted March 27, 2014 Posted March 27, 2014 I think it looks like a steaming heap of poo, but then again, so do a lot of MB's "movies" Fewer explosions than I'd anticipated. Quote
Tking22 Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 They reversed that change awhile ago. They DID drop it at one point though and aliens was being thrown around. Ah I see I remember reading that awhile back, I'll admit I didn't even look at the actual logo, for months it was labeled as The Ninja Turtles. Quote
TangledThorns Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 I actually liked the trailer and the kids will eat it up too. Quote
Vepariga Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 The Shrek comparisions floating around the web are comedy gold. That scene of Leo jumping down was the only decent looking thing in the whole trailer. Quote
Scyla Posted March 28, 2014 Posted March 28, 2014 Why are there burly army guys in this trailer? I know nothing Michael Bay does will make my like this movie. But Humvees? Really? *sigh* Quote
GU-11 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Why are there burly army guys in this trailer? I know nothing Michael Bay does will make my like this movie. But Humvees? Really? *sigh* Because Bay is in love with the military, and the military doesn't mind the free publicity. Bay's TF movies got full military manpower and logistics support because "he makes them look good in the movies." Many of the soldiers you see in the TF movies were supposedly professional soldiers, not extras. Whether he's truly a military fanboy or just wants the free extras and props is anyone's guess. Quote
miles316 Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 Shredder is no longer Oroku Saki? Will he call himself Baxter Stockman? Quote
ErikElvis Posted March 29, 2014 Posted March 29, 2014 I see nothing to sway me either way. Trailer makes me feel neither interested or disinterested. Quote
Tking22 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 One thing I'm wondering is will Hot Toys make 1/6 Bay Turtles? Would anyone be interested in them? Even if I liked one enough to purchase it I wouldn't simply because you CAN"T have just one Turtle, and committing to four Hot Toys is something I have no interest in doing. But I love me some Turtles, and I like their designs more than I thought, all we've seen is crappy shots of crappy toys, I'm wondering if NECA or someone else would put out a decent line of collector's movie Turtles. On a side note, after seeing...something Turtles, I got bit by the nostalgia bug, it had to be cured, so I ordered a line I've been wanting for a while, and since any other Turtles related thread is 5+ years old I decided to post some pics here.

GU-11 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 One thing I'm wondering is will Hot Toys make 1/6 Bay Turtles? MGR Raiden totally came out of nowhere, so anything's possible with HT. And in if you're interested in classic TMNT, I heard Figma (or was it Kaiyodo?) will be releasing the Turtles in their Nickelodeon incarnations soon. Quote
Old_Nash Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 http://i.imgur.com/kADmzsV.jpg 1 - Perfect! It was supposed to be! 2 - Then came Michael "explosion" Bay and shat all. Mike with face of "black guy comedian estereotipe", is totally wrong... Quote
GU-11 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 BTW, what's with the turtles having only a thumb and an index and middle finger? Coupled with the bandages, Mikey looks like an amputee. Quote
mikeszekely Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 BTW, what's with the turtles having only a thumb and an index and middle finger? Coupled with the bandages, Mikey looks like an amputee. That's all the fingers they're supposed to have... Quote
Hikuro Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 BTW, what's with the turtles having only a thumb and an index and middle finger? Coupled with the bandages, Mikey looks like an amputee. wth TMNT show have you ever watched where they weren't 3 fingered? Quote
GU-11 Posted April 3, 2014 Posted April 3, 2014 That's all the fingers they're supposed to have... My bad. I just dug up some old 80's cartoon pics at Google. Although, they had flatter and broader fingers in the cartoon. The movie snapshot makes them look like there's too much extra "space" on the tips of their palms, like they've got a couple of missing ones. Just my opinion. Quote

Nah, that’s a fair point, it does look like the turtles just escaped from a leper colony. Quote
GU-11 Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 Nah, that’s a fair point, it does look like the turtles just escaped from a leper colony. I didn't think the look of the turtles were that bad (in my defense, they were just pics of the toys) up until Old Nash posted that link. They didn't look like they had lips on those toys. BTW, I just watched the trailer, and it was kind of..."meh." Strangely, Mikey's lips don't look that bad in the trailer. Quote
mikeszekely Posted April 4, 2014 Posted April 4, 2014 When you watch the trailer, you don't think they look that bad, but you can tell there's just something off about their faces. When you see the link Old_Nash posted, though, you get exactly what's wrong with them and can no longer unsee how horrible they really are. Quote

In that pic, his face looks less like a humanoid turtle and more like a troll. Quote

Old_Nash Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 (edited) I hope TheAsylum make a movie from this cartoon... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAg2VXRY7Os Because TheAsylum know how to make sharks movies XD Edited April 7, 2014 by Old_Nash Quote

Tking22 Posted April 7, 2014 Posted April 7, 2014 So I got a couple of PMs about these guys, I got my set here: http://www.bigbadtoystore.com/bbts/product.aspx?product=PLM11292&mode=retail I'd suggest getting a set while you can, these initially came out in 2012 and sold out quick then inflated in price, they were re-released but what's out there is all that's left. They're pretty badass, aside from the posibility and storable weapons, I also got these guys for the boxes! Those glorious blister boxes! The last pic is my attempt at recreating the original Eastman and Laird cover poses. Quote
Tking22 Posted April 14, 2014 Posted April 14, 2014 This new spot just came out with a tiny peak at Splinter, and para-military gun-toting Foot Clan. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMaiWbVCZ0o Quote
