Nice, I’ve always wanted Shalhoub to voice Splinter.
Knoxville for Leo could be good, I don’t have a prob with that.
I thought I would have a problem with them starting off as human, but now I’m cool with it.
I mean in some versions of the story Splinter starts out human as Yoshi and then morphs into a rat. Same thing.
Different is good, especially when it comes to the Turtles.
Objectively speaking, is the first TMNT movie a good movie. I had this discussion with some people and they feel its a shit movie compared to what we’re getting with this new movie.
Other than April being a news reporter, the Turtles’ love of pizza, and the different bandana colors, the 1990 movie recreated the Mirage comics and basically ignored the 87 cartoon. Which was kind of ballsy, since the horde of kids were expecting the crazy cartoon, instead of a gritty urban action-adventure. And it was rare for a comic book movie to pay attention to the original material was well as TMNT 90 did.
“Objectively” it’s one of the best comic book adaptations before 2000, it’s up to you to decide whether it’s a good movie or not.
Same… except for how huge they are. For sewer-dwellers. These guys aren’t going to retreat to manholes.
1:00 of that video-- Raph is fucking armed with Leo’s swords, and I think Mike’s chucks. He’d better fucking use them, all at once, like a Devil May Cry combo video.
