Glob Help Me, I Kind of Dig This New Ninja Turtles Movie Trailer!
I liked the first Michael Bay-produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. It was silly fun, rather dumb, and actually had a really great take on the Turtles themselves. The idea that they might actually wear distinct clothing shouldn’t be this revolutionary. Well the sequel is on its way, and the first trailer was released today!
Say hello to the new Bebop and Rocksteady, y’all!
I will admit to giggling out loud multiple times during this trailer, mostly our of sheer dumbness. But man, c’mon, I’m not made of stone! And it’s not like this movie assumes it’s going to be in the Oscar race. It’s just gonna be a big, dumb, silly Ninja Turtles movie! Isn’t that what we all need in our lives sometimes?
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2: Out of the Shadows will premiere on June 3.

Movie Bebop and Rocksteady Are Going to Be the Most Accurate Characters Ever
I’m very excited that Bebop and Rocksteady are going to be in the new Ninja Turtles movie – but set photos have revealed that they are going to be intensely accurate characters. Check out these set photos.
The mohawk is real!
That’s Gary Anthony Williams as Bebop and WWE wrestler Sheamus as Rocksteady, both before their mutations into a warthog and a rhino respectively. Just look at them. They look exactly like the classic cartoon versions of the characters, to an insane degree. There are pictures on the web of Williams even wearing the classic vest.
In a movie that finally gave the Ninja Turtles themselves unique and individual looks, why go so weirdly cartoony on Bebop and Rocksteady? Why not re-invent them as well?
I suppose it doesn’t matter in the end. I liked the first movie, and I’m excited to see them in the second! I hope they’re not too campy. The writers should read the current IDW comic book series for an amazing portrayal of Bebop and Rocksteady.

I Need Help – From the Ninja Turtles!
Despite being mostly broke and trying to fund my own comic book, I found myself splurging yesterday on some new action figures. I couldn’t really afford the splurge, but I did it anyway. I think I need help you guys…from the Ninja Turtles! Because who else is going to kick Bebop and Rocksteady’s butts for me!
Now I know what you’re thinking: Sean, why would you buy action figures? And you’re right, it’s a dumb waste of my money. I’m pretty sure I have a problem…with the Foot Clan! Oh man, you guys, they are some of the baddest dudes out there! And Bebop and Rocksteady are their primary enforcers. This is definitely a no-win situation for me!
Sadly, those pictures are the promotional images found off the web. The actual figures I randomly found at Wal-Mart don’t look that well-put-together, making this even more of a dumb purchase. But what can I say? I’m kind of stupid…in love with the Ninja Turtles! Cowabunga!

Everything Wrong With the New Ninja Turtles Movie
I stand by my general enjoyment of the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, but Cinema Sins had to go there.
That movie deserves to be torn apart! But like I said, I generally enjoyed it. The Ninja Turtles were my favorite cartoon as a Young Sean, but I’m savvy enough to know that there will always be new Ninja Turtle adaptations. Heck, I really love the current Nickelodeon cartoon, and I’m fairly certain the old 80s cartoon does not hold up. So if Michael Bay and friends want to make a few modern day Ninja Turtle movies, I say more power to them. I’ll still get a little kick out of all of them.
And someday, there will be even new cartoons, movies and comics.
Remind me to tell you henchies someday about my perfect Bebop and Rocksteady origin story. It’s genius.

Honest Trailers: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
I still mostly enjoyed the new Ninja Turtle reboot. I went in with an open mind and liked this new take on my favorite Turtles. The simple thing to remember is that there are so many different versions of the Ninja Turtles out there. One shouldn’t get their panties in a twist just because Michael Bay gets to make his version. Give it another 10 years and we’ll have a new cartoon, new comics and new movies. You’ll see!
