Why the tmnt movies has so much wasted potential

Tyron_Leung

I would rather get a series of mirage comics movies than a crapy last ronin film with next generation tmnt replacements. In my opinion the 1990 film sucks if you tried connecting it to Mid Ronin i dont think it could never work without building up and introduction to characters never used outside mirage lore or introduced in more faithful tmnt projects like the 2003 & 2012 show. It works best as a direct to dvd animated elseworlds what if, plus They keep going back to milking the 87 toon incarnation which is crap passed the first pilot season.
The movies aren't consistent and deviates from mirage comics to be family friendly and grounded for budgetary or studio mandate reasons or contridictory complains from irresponsible parents not following the mpaa ratings that leads to butchering perfect movies and erasing scenes that enhance the movies character
they killed the possibility of baxter stockman and mousers or tech engineer April for the 87 toon april and when baxter finally showed up in the movies he's a weak henchmen for the foot overshadowed by a weak shredder in an over stuffed film with too many villains such as bebop rocksteady karai krang eric shacks and orroku saki

How did baxter stockman find out about professor honeycutt the fugitoid robot form chet if they never worked together in any incarnation but the IDW continuity and since when was he a neutrino outside IDW? The leonardo casey jones death and aprils injury can't happen this way nor can the synja foot bots etc play a role here cause baxter never met the foot let alone was their henchmen ?

The turtles deaths are tame and lack luster in ronin compared to all the other times they all died or where brutally injured.

And speaking of deaths we have all these movies parents took their children to see and had no complaints but only till it got to tmnt and batman returns is when the snow flake Karen's complained about violence when the 1990s film deleted scenes were tame compared to the G rated and Pg rated films the previous decades before hand and years after it you see grewsome death scenes in pg & pg 13 movies

Tmnt should give a crack at the horror genre for a reboot movie they were the ones who instigated the aggression towards shredder who only wanted justice for his incel brothers killers

The first film left out these monstrosities shiva shredder lobster claw shredder and mini shredder for bebop rocksteady tokka & rhazar skimming passed good ideas for a solo tmnt film. To be continued

Yeah, I agree that it wouldn't really work if they tried to make The Last Ronin movie a sequel to the 1990 movie.

Also, I wouldn't mind a movie that included some of the more graphic/mature scenes in the Mirage comics, but I don't think they need to overdo it with extreme body horror or other extremely gorey scenes that would alienate even some mature viewers.

I'd settle for just a relatively faithful adaptation — adding extra over-the-top horror elements doesn't seem necessary in my opinion.

Tatoruzu I don't know, man. I'd like to see a horror/ slasher director take on a TMNT movie (maybe Sam Raimi or Peter Jackson?). I think it would be cool if they could apply their horror sensibilities to characters like the Mousers, Triceratons, Savanti Romero, Bloodsucker (if Veitch ever wanted to sign a movie royalty contract), etc, etc.

Tatoruzu id meant by rebooting the mirage comics as a genre changing movie with each film the tone changes like one could be action horror, the next action scifi like terminator 1& 2 it could work as a crime horror action revenge film told from the perspective of shredder & the purple dragons as the anti protagonist and the turtles & splinter as anti antagonist. you tell the story about the foot vying for power after previous king pin hunter mason or a made for the movie leader of the dragons is sent to prision or the turtles themselves knock off the dragons to get to the shredder and orroku saki takes the dragons the mafia the biker gangs etc territories in drugs arms assassination and sex trafficking trades and the purple dragons are forced to merge with the foot and for the turtles to get to shredder they have to interrogate and wipe the dragons off the board and hunt them down.

Mr_Toitle I was thinking guiermo del toro and make the turtles scary in the first film

Mr_Toitle

It's interesting how Judith Hoag describes how the TMNT might sound like a slasher movie of sorts here.

Oh I'm shooting this movie... Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Which at the time, was kinda hard to say. Because it sounded like some weird... Slasher, strange movie.
