When I think of Ninja Turtles, the way they would look in our Universe, this is what I think of. The turtles from the second movie.
I didn't really like the first movie. All I remember is that Raphael goes emo. The third movie was fun with all the time traveling and whatnot. But the second movie,TMNT II The Secret of the Ooze was my favorite.
Then I heard that a new TMNT movie was coming out this year.
I got super excited.
Then I heard Michael Bay was behind it.
I groaned.
. . . And then I started hearing rumors that the new CGI TMNT design is a bit controversial.
I groaned again.
And then the reveal happened, 1:05 minutes into the trailer when Michelangelo takes his mask off.
. . .
They look like Aliens!!!!!!
I'm still going to see this new installment in the TMNT Universe, because the TMNT will always hold a special place in my heart.
I remember going to Pizza Hut just to play the arcade game, and then eating pizza simply to relate to the characters. When the game got a Super NES release, I was super excited. And there were all those times I got my friends to play TMNT on the playground at school, insisting I had to play April. (I didn't always get to, taking turns and all, but it was fun.)
Case in point, I'll reserve judgement until I see the movie, but first impressions are everything, and this isn't a very good first impression.
