Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (2014)

[Scareb]

They released a bunch of the originals into a hardcover collection. So far there are 4 volumes. They're great. Definitely darker too. There are actually people getting killed, stabbed, etc. And the there are minor curse words as well.

The new series is written by Eastman and I'm really enjoying it. They tapped into the original comic and took things from the original and newer cartoon series (not the nicktoons one). They also went back to the adult nature so you have the turtles using their weapons to kill enemies (there are a couple brutal panels in the series) and they're also using minor curses.

Thanks for the heads up. The comic book series started a few years before I was born so my earliest experience were the paperback graphic novels once they were released after the first movie, got them from a mobile library... come to think about it, I never returned those. I can't imagine how much i've accumulated in late fees. :wacko

I'll have to pick up the newer titles at some point. Really dreading the directing and script but I would love to see new ninja turtle props, costumes, puppetry, etc. I'm really torn with this one, lol.

Good news: Shredder. Bad news: .... Miracle Blade Man

This is also bad news...

Although, source is questionable.

A rubies style costume is always going to look worse than the source.

They're putting human lips on the turtles?! These are turtles, not ogres!

Has anyone here ever read the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle's by Eastman and laird before it was acquired by viacom? It was really, really dark. Haven't read the series since IDW acquired the rights to make new comics.

I remember I had an issue of the original comics i got somewhere when the cartoon was hot but i wasn't into comics at the time so it didn't click with me. I'm betting i'd like it better now.

Not feeling the Shrek look at all. Hopefully, in the context of the film, everything will be ok. I misjudged designs before, so I'll have to practice some patience with this...

I actually kinda like how buff they look, all I'm hoping for is decent texture and lightning with the cgi. The Avengers Hulk should be the new standard with cgi and nothing less

Probably one of the best things I've finally seen come of all this. Though they say those are maquettes and aren't probably the final look, so I would like to see what actual footage of this will look like. Will there be a teaser on Superbowl Sunday?

Is Rafael wearing a Bandana, it doesn't look too bad, it might also say something about his character....maybe he's got a thug thing going there, could be funny.

Donatello looks like somekind of Amfibian Ghostbuster looking closer at the picture.

Ohh please God I hope so. Looks way better than I thought it would.

those are kinda cool looking...

I'm not all that fond of the mouths on the turtles but they look interesting otherwise. Shredder's too busy looking, he looks like a transformer with all that crap on his armor. What happened to a nice simple design?

 

[agliarept]

I love the turtles with all my heart and seeing these designs breaks my soul.

 

[cayman shen]

The nostrils kinda gross me out. Didn't Raph wear a full bandanna in an issue or two of the original comic? Anyhoo I feel like these are trying too hard to be EXTREME! But it's a moot point. The script, direction, and editing will bury this, so what they look like is irrelevant. As soon as Bay got involved, it was doomed. Seriously, the studios should file a restraining order. If good cinema was an elementary school he wouldn't be allowed within a thousand yards.
