so holy crap I saw the trailer and am actually super excited for it. it looks like the know where they fucked up the first time and are actually going to have fun with it, I mean it's even called "Out of The Shadows" maybe because the last one was dark, gritty and over all terrible because of its "darkness".
I'm just amazed how much I want to see this move.
for some reason the paste button isn't working so anyone that's interested in seeing this amazing trailer needs to YouTube, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of The Shadows. you hopefully won't regret it. and I mean with me for once being excited about something has to give it some points

It seems sillier at least.

Yeah a silly tone makes more sense. Though the turtles are still hideously ugly.

Looks like a nostalgia puke fest to me.
"Oh, look! They're driving around in the garbage truck just like they did in the cartoon! It shoots manhole covers! Just like the toy I had!"
"Oh, look! Sewer surfing!"
"Oh, look! Foot Clan!"
"Oh, look! It's Casey Jones! The Boba Fett of TMNT! He's mostly useless but he looks cool!"
"Oh, look! Bebop and Rocksteady! I had those action figures!"
The only thing that's missing is Krang, and I'll bet you a million dollars he's in it.

it's a Ninja Turtle movie so of corse it should have things in it from you know, what it's based off of. now I didn't watch the original, I personally grew up on the first live action movie and the awesome anime ninja turtles that played on FoxKids. so no real nostalgia over here because I have no idea who pig guy and rhino dude are. I dong know who Krang is either, I just know Shredder, Casey Jones and the turtles themselves with Splinter
Explain how a TMNT movie having TMNT stuff in it is a bad thing?

I think the point is that its nothing BUT nostalgia. There isn't anything there that doesnt make you go "oh I remember that."
Its the problem I have with the trailer for the new Star Wars. The prequals were bollocks, but at least they were original. The news ones don't seem to have a single original idea so far.
The evil empire (now the first over) fights the Rebellion (now call the resistance). It sends in armies of storm troopers, tie fighters and a guy in a black cloak and mask who carries a red ligth saber. Princess leia, Han Solo, luke Skywalker are all there and the good guys are flying their x wings towards a trench where the bad guys have built an even bigger death star (no really, that happens in the movie apparantly!) And Chewbacca and Han get in the millenium falcon again.
The most original thing is that there is a robot that looks like R2 D2 but is orange and has a round body.
Pretty sure I already saw this movie but with less CGI.

Ah well, the point is it looks better than the first one Michael Bay made.
There is plenty of neat new stuff going on with the new Star Wars! A crosshilt lightsaber where the hilt won't work fully like a hilt (though overall, it should still function fine). There is a black main character now. And a mentor character who is a full 100 years older than Yoda was when Luke met him. And the First Order are not actually the Empire, they're an extremist splinter faction, so in a sense, they're the new Rebellion. There is a female villain (who you'd not recognize as female looking at the character). There are more hints that Boba Fett might have actually been competent. The rolling ball droid isn't actually CGI! There is way more practical effects than the prequels, and more CGI than the originals. They might finally kill Han Solo the fuck off. Luke is now an enigma, but not in the same way Yoda was. It might actually be good (okay, so that is more a throwback, but still). Lucas isn't touching it! There might be slightly more lens flare. The baddies might massacre an Ewok Village. Instead of just selling cheap toys for ridiculous amounts of money, they're also selling a content-light video game! We get the perspective of one of the poor bastards whose comrades got mowed down by bunch of fuzzy teddy bear hobbits. The villain has a mask... instead of a helmet? We don't actually know if the real big baddy is Darth Plaugeis or not... uh... erm... Did I mention that Luke might be slightly unstable? That would be double dipping, wouldn't it? Oh oh oh, the stormtroopers now have close combat weapons that can go toe to toe with lightsabers! Uh...

If Jedi and lightsabers have fallen into obscurity, why do the storm troopers have a close quarters weapon that can handle a lightsaber attack?
That Superman TMNT looks awful. I couldn't get very far with it.

Sometimes beating someone to death with a massive close combat weapon is just extra satisfying for, like, baddies...

So you're saying the Jedi are bad guys now?

The Jedi are legitimately pretty terrible, when you think about it.

from what I know it was actually done in japan first actually. in North America the Forkids block on Saturdays consisted of Japanese cartoons that were English dubed, like Sonic X and Mew Mew Power
