If the Ninja Turtles Wore Clothes, They Would All Have Popped Collars
Basically, the more trailers I see for the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie, the more I realize they’d just a bunch of bros. Michelangelo, especially. And not ‘brothers’, which of course they are, but I mean popped collar, beer chugging, fraternity pledging, ultra bros. It’s kind of off-putting.
Possibly because I’m more of a geek, and reject those bro-life stereotypes. But man, this movie is clearly being made to appeal to a certain audience, and considering that same audience is pushing Transformers: Age of Extinction towards $1 billion, I have a sinking feeling that the new Ninja Turtles movie is going to be similar.
Whereas I just want Guardians of the Galaxy to succeed! Come on, people. Go see Guardians of the Galaxy multiple times!
The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Are Total Bros!
New trailer! More Turtles! Hints of plot! The Shredder! Hot Leonardo action!
I’m not…I’m not sure how I feel about this trailer. This movie is either going to be awesome, and everything is going to work. Or it’s going to fall apart and be this weird, style-obsessed freakshow. The Turtles look cool…but they also look kind of weird. And the humor is…exactly the kind of humor we should probably expect from this movie!
I don’t know, alright! I don’t know!
What do you think?
Some Social Media Twerp Probably Got a Raise for This Ninja Turtles Tweeting Idea
Update: Donatello!
There’s a new trailer for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the way – possibly today – but in order to see it, we’ve all got to start tweeting about the movie. Specifically, the producers want us to Tweet about each individual turtle, thereby unlocking a series of new posters, ending with the trailer itself. Click the link to see for yourself.
It’s a nifty idea, and I bet some kid the studio hired to be their ‘social media technician’ came up with the idea. Those are real jobs, I’m almost positive.
Mostly I just care about these new posters, which show off the full Turtles! Of course, the best turtle, Leonardo, was unlocked first. Donatello came last, so I’m gonna post him up here on top!
NEEEEEEEEEERD!
And he looks freakin’ awesome – except for the nose. Those noses are definitely weird.
But overall, I like the Turtles’ new looks. They’re different, and different is good. Click the jump to see Michelangelo, Raphael and Leonardo!
New Ninja Turtles Trailer Has a Tiny Bit More Footage
The more I see of this new Ninja Turtles movie, the more I think it’s just going to be a big, dark, grim fest. This new trailer does not assuage my fears. Not that it’s really a new trailer, per se. It’s the old trailer, but with some new footage, including a few close shots of Donatello.
What is everybody else thinking about this movie? I keep getting the feeling that it’s going to be this weirdly dark, grim & gritty action flick with the Ninja Turtles running around. But what do I know? Maybe that’ll be awesome!
Leonardo is the Best Ninja Turtle
If you need any more proof that Leonardo was the best Ninja Turtle, look no further than these badass new movie posters. Leo’s katana blade looks righteous.
It’s a slow news day, and these babies popped up on the Interwebs as a helpful reminder that Leonardo is the best turtle. I even like his new look the best out of all of the Turtles in the new movie, which comes out on Aug. 8. Though I’m not sure what to make of Johnny Knoxville being brought in at the last minute to dub over his lines. Why Johnny Knoxville of all people?
You can see the rest of the posters after the jump!
