What the fuck business does a Teenage MutantNINJATurtle have being thrown at a humvee in the first place? It isn't even the right TYPE OF ACTION they should be fighting and using some qasi Martial arts not being thrown around into metal and explosions and blah blah blah, its NOT EVEN THE RIGHT TYPE OF ACTION. HE COULDN'T EVEN GET THE ACTION RIGHT. Now I know what the Transformers guys were talking about man; fuck.
It's like they have the old comics for source - which has no legitimate fan base.
And tons of cartoons, but most specifically the late 80's-90's cartoon.
Fuck all that though, this is the way Michael Bay (I'm blaming him for this) wanted the Ninja Turtles when he was 11 or 12 - no humor - no silliness - no warmth - no nostalgia - not even gritty like the comics - but serious enough that in no way can anyone take it as being at all serious (and who would it's a kid's action movie), but fucking eh it's like he thinks his imagination is special like he's got brilliant ideas that no one ever thought of and he has to do his "improvements" to everything.
I mean look the cartoon is called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, it was my favorite cartoon as a kid, but as an adult even as a huge fan as a child---I appreciate that this isn't an epic idea that needed to be rehashed or retold, nor deserved to be. The cartoon could have faded off and it would be acceptable...it's called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles for fucks sake, why not make a new franchise like how about the Cowboy Robot Samurai Doctor Pescitarians. We don't have to reimagine TMNT or spend much of a thought on it. How do you even cash in on nostalgia when you've stripped it of any in the first place?
