With his shell and his swords being so long, how can Leo properly sheath and un-sheath his swords? I now that’s a stupid question when we’re talking about talking mutants using martial arts, but it still looks ridiculous to me.
Why the fuck do they have lips? It’s beyond that, why do they have nigga lips. I mean, they could at least went for a more reptilian mouth if they wanted them to look more “realistic”.
In fact, their whole faces are unsettlingly human to me.
They look more like mutant humans than mutant turtles, alien or not.
Just gonna call the turtles in this movie(which will probably turn into a series of movies) the nigga turtles.
Having watched/read pieces of just about every iteration of the turtles, and even having a turtle shell book bag like a big fucking immature dork, i’m surprisingly okay with everything else.
I just want them to look like fucked up, goofy ass turtle people who use a lot of slang, do martial arts, and eat pizza.
Also, inb4 Case Jones is an after credits scene, probably a guy picking up mask or hockey stick or some shit, or a slow zoom to a newspaper about a hockey mask wearing vigilante. No fucking way he’ll be in this movie legit.
the ninja turtles were always pretty muscular in most adaptations, even in the original movies. i dont particularly care that they are no longer 5 foot tall mutant turtles who can jump in and out of manholes. many are worried about stealth being an issue due to their size, since they are suppose to be ninjas, but i mean, thats one small aspect of them that we have seen in movies that was cool, and fairly unrealstic, so if you take away stealth, you can replace it with something else.
its not like, oh god, they cant stealth anymore, why would i ever wanna watch this. for the same fucking reasons you watched it before, to watch ninja turtles handle weapons, beat up the foot, and fight shredder. we wanna see donnie do his tech geek thing, while also beasting on fools with the bo staff. we wanna see ralph always lose his temper with everyone, and man handle fools with sais without killing them. we wanna see leo talk dat philosophy way of the samurai shit, and fancy cut some stuff. last but not least, we wanna see mikey be a goof ball, dance, and style on fools with chuks.
it will be interesting to see how they fight others since theyre so strong and big. maybe the foot will have some super strength soldiers themselves, or guns (lol). but its not like we havent seen mutants and super powered vampires fight normies without smashing their faces in. sometimes you have to suspend disbelief.
i mean you know shits too serious when now we have to take the ninja turtles serious. we cant even just enjoy the ninja turtles these days. for the love of god, just start depopulation already. take some of you cynical fucks off the planet.
thats funny, because the ninja turtles have always given off an ethnic vibe to me in general, especially mikey and ralph. ralph because of his grittiness and attitude. mikey because of his dancing, and nunchukas (black people love bruce lee). donnie was just the nerdy black dude for me, with leo being the most neutral culturally of them all. its like how your first thought for piccolo is, why does he seem black to me, or like super skrull in umvc3, im like, hes so black, look at that swagga walk. lol. im sure im projecting at times, but i could see how we would give certain turtles more ethnic features.
all the turtles actually look different. i didnt say anything, but i saw a still somewhere, and ralph had like dark lips, like he been hitting the blunt too many times. im like, well clearly ralp is suppose to be black. lol. you can see in the trailer if you slow it down, leo doesnt have as full lips as mikey. leos lips are thinner, and his mouth in general is different. he actually looks more turtle then some of the others.
as you have to give the turtles some character, rather then just have them all look the same with different bandanas, its no shocker to me that some of them, if not all of them at the end of the day, have more ethnic features too them.
im looking forward to the shit storm that will come of this though. when more trailers drop later, people are gonna be like, why do mike and ralph resemble ethnic men so much, and act blah blah blah way.
michael bay does seem to enjoy his racial and ethnic stereotypes, i’ll give him that, but i dont know how serious i wanna take that. especially considering tyler perrys movies and all those black stereotypes piled into one, which black people line up for in droves to see.
I love the way the turtles look. Shredder and the Foot gonna have to be super-good to take these giants down.
And the martial arts better be on point.
I don’t mind the Megan Fox thing as long as she doesn’t overshadow the turtles and doesn’t say anything too stupid.
She looks hot and everyone of these haters would pay to hit it, for real.
I’m just now realizing how hot she is, actually. I’ve seen some or her movies before but I haven’t really noticed until now that she is definitely a fine woman.
I don’t have a problem with the turtles being as big as Master Chef. There plenty to bitch about this version of the Turtles. Their height isn’t one of them. I like my turtles dark and violent so no pizza power and cowbunga is preferred.
It’s not that I disagree with you, but the question is - did she get any surgery BEFORE Transformers? Because I wouldn’t be surprised if she did. And now she just went overboard.
So shredder isn’t Japanese but a white dude now, the turtles aren’t surfer dudes but black dudes (20 bucks says raph is a straight up G), April is megan fox (wtf?), the foot are those dudes from 300… What’s goin on here? I bet anything one of them (probably mikey) says cowabunga and that needle on a record soud effect hits and the other 3 make fun of him for it, essentially directly insulting the fans.
I knew it’d be bad an yeah, it’s looking pretty bad.
