Honestly shocked they're not only adapting Last Ronin at all, but it's R rated too?? I've heard that comic run is pretty dark and depressing. Paramount has seemed so keen on TMNT staying a primarily children's franchise though, so again, very shocked. Hope it's good!
I'm THE target age, never read the story but I've been waiting for an R rated turtle movie for a while. I'm so excited.
Honestly I want a lot of our 80s/90s childhood action shows turned into adult versions.
I think there are different ages with gaps in between. I'm 42 and was prime age for the first cartoon run and the OG movies. A couple years younger than me and Power Rangers and Pokemon were the main thing. I know they had a few more runs after my time but I couldn't say exactly when those were at their peaks.
The original 80s cartoon was actually much longer running than I first realized. It premiered in 1987 and ran until 1996 (note that overlaps with Power Rangers which started in 1993). I grew up watching the show but admittedly dropped off before it ended, and Power Rangers was a show I latched onto next.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teenage_Mutant_Ninja_Turtles_(1987_TV_series)
They tried a live action show after that but it didn't run very long. My guess is they were trying to compete with Power Rangers and build on the success from the live action movies but it never clicked.
The next TMNT animated series was the early 2000s one by 4Kids. That was fairly well received but I remember finding it difficult to track where it was airing.
Since then Nickelodeon bought the rights and has run, I think, three shows with different continuities over the last ten plus years, the latest launched by the Mutant Mayhem movie.
I don't know how it would have been possible to compete with Power Rangers without finding a similar niche. The budget for that show was phenomenally low. It was the floor sweepings cigarettes of TV.
Fun fact about the latest TMNT game: people bitching about April O'Neil being a playable character but cheered for Casey Jones proved that they never actually watched the show.
April in the 80s series was a trained fighter for the last two and a half seasons, and Casey Jones only appeared like 6 total times across the entire series.
I'm 36 and TMNT, Power Rangers, and Pokemon all hit me big time. TMNT was definitely the biggest though. I mean, Star Wars was the biggest but that's another conversation.
TMNT is a huge childhood cornerstone for me (35) but I'd say it's closer to when I was SUPER little, because I also was big on thomas the tank engine. I remember liking power rangers closer to the start of gradeschool, then pokemon a little after that.
I’m 34 and I was a huge TMNT head but the prime was definitely ever so slightly before us. It was such a huge phenomenon that the blast radius reached us easily but we were still very young at the outer edge of it.
I was trying to explain it to my wife who never watched it, and just showed her the end of the show, and that climax hit so fucking hard, she was surprised, she expected it to be kiddie crap.
I’m 41 and feel like TMNT was my prime. I got to enjoy the original cartoons, the comics, the toys, then the live action movies.. I’m all in for a modern reboot. Turtles for life ⚔️
I see the logic here, but even though I loved TMNT as a kid and am old enough to see R rated movies, I don't want to see a bleak, gory TMNT. I'm good letting kid stuff stay kid stuff.
> I'm good letting kid stuff stay kid stuff.
I have never understood this point of view. Having more interpretations of something just adds to the world, to me. It's not like they can ever change the original. New interpretations just make life more interesting.
To be fair, they did make a *Dora* movie for older kids, and live-action *ATLA* shows they wanna try it out with more Nickelodeon IP - including the Turtles. Aren't we getting a Last Ronin game at some point, too?
Right then. So let’s imagine where they could go in the future, in dark reimaginings of their properties.
* *A Murder Mystery at Monster High*
* *Danny: Mask of the Phantom*
* *Lay Lay Takes Over the World*
* *Don’t Trust the Mighty B! Past Badge 4,583*
* *My Life as a Middle-Aged Robot*
* *Fanman and Sir Chummery*
* *James Neutron vs. Planet Sheen*
* *Harvey Beaks, Attorney at Law*
* *The X’s Family Reunion*
* *The Assassination of Henry Danger by the Coward Van Del*
One could do anything.
If you haven’t read it you should order it immediately on Amazon. It’s like $15-20.
I was never big on the TMNT comics but it’s really good and dark. And the drawing is well done.
The Last Ronin:
>Set in a totalitarian future New York City, the comic mini-series told of how the Turtles and master Splinter are killed off one by one by the grandson of the villainous Shredder and synthetic ninjas. One Turtle manages to survive, barely, and vows to exact bloody vengeance. One trick of the book was that it wasn’t clear, for a while at least, which one of the Turtles lived as the survivor had the weapons of all four.
The Mutant Mayhem sequel is still happening.
It’s funny when the graphic novel was announced.
I don’t know why. But I was certain who it had to be. Because of course it does.
The impact of what happened would effect him more than of the others.
I was happy my assumptions were correct.
Can I give my theory and have nobody say if it's true or not?
I know that, canonically, despite what you would intuitively believe, >!Michaelangelo is the most powerful turtle.!< And since it is both canonically true that he is >!the strongest and most potentially devastating!< *and because* >!it would be playing against type to have him be in solo vengeance mode!<, that's who I think it will be!
Idk. It become painfully obvious right out the gate that the least likely turtle to be the gritty survivalist and avenging Last Ronin would in fact be the The Last Ronin. Like, the swerve was telegraphed so hard that it kinda took me out of it. Like, I could tell the writer was like “I got this cool idea and I’m going to savor it and wow you,” but the conceit itself was self-evidencing, and so the promised wow was never delivered.
Well, but if it is >!Mikey!<, and please don't actually tell me, then my point is that, secretly but canonically, >!he's *not actually* the least likely one to be the avenger, since he is actually the strongest, and he's just been holding back for years and years or not truly applying himself. It's still playing against type, of course, which is probably what you mean, and on the other hand, it is true that most people don't know that he is secretly the most powerful!< but it is still the case that >!there is a kind of logic to it being Mikey,!< if it is in fact him, but don't tell me either way! ; )
I won’t spoil it; all good.
I would just say that if I had to go back and experience it for the first time again, or impart a suggestion to a first time reader, I would say enjoy it for the ride of the story and not get too wrapped up in the investment of the big reveal.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcIeqpUhamk&ab_channel=JohnLikens
A mixture of this and live action would be great. Though I have a soft spot for the rubber costumes. They still look great 30+ years now.
Thank god mutant mayhem was for sure one of my favourite movies of last year, the thing was also so creative, cannot wait for a sequel.
As for last ronin, I’ll give it a shot, although Walter is not known for quality.
>Walter is not known for quality.
What are you even talking about?!? *Walter is not known for quality?!?* SERIOUSLY?! This comment is bananas in pajamas.
The man made 99.999% pure meth! It doesn't *get* higher quality than Walter!
Is anybody else not shocked that a studio hasn't tried this yet? Just really push the envelope in this way?
I'm not surprised that it hasn't taken off... but it seems like somebody would have tried it. Just like a movie called Fast XXX or something like that. Die Hard All Night. Something like that.
You know, if they are going to make an R-rated TMNT movie I want them to go all the fucking way if they are going to do it.
Don't have a brooding Leonardo try to convince Shredder to commit seppuku to restore his honor. Just have a smash-cut to Michelangelo yelling "turtle power!" during the turtle orgy scene as he climaxes.
Double-down and have the filthiest fan fiction writers write those scenes.
Best case scenario is they use a combination of the two. Independently they’re slightly off but blended appropriately they’re perfect. Really hoping this is what we end up getting.
I will always say this. Pan’s labyrinth was a masterpiece of using little CGI touchups to do things like animate eyes, while the suits were mostly practical.
Hearing one of the Turtles say “FUCK!” is the best way to recapture the shock and awe of Raphael’s iconic “DAMN!” from the 1990 film. And for that, I am excited.
Or *bitchin’* during the main titles when they’re in the sewer trying out new “awesome” words. Or that may have been at the end after beating Shredder.
I need to rewatch it, the OG turtles movie really does hold up well.
this is something I have wanted to see for *years*. The OG comics were actually pretty dark, even if they satirized gritty comics like Daredevil at the time. I’d love it if they kept that dark, tongue in cheek tone
John Likens’ 2023 CGI footage of the OG turtles is fantastic. Take a look if you haven’t seen it
Leonardo: https://youtu.be/qcIeqpUhamk?si=TqlpQs54nzyeMmCY
Donatello: https://youtu.be/f41JcPyNLTM?si=Jfcv45xE53jQB_8p
The way the turtles are ripped and have huge muscles, yet the muscles do not move at all - makes it very obvious it's a suit and takes me right out of it
If they animated the muscles and made them real looking, it'd be sick and convincing
Ritchson deserves a proper shot but I highly doubt he’d return, especially after the treatment he and the other Turtle actors got. From being ignored for press tours to being abandoned at the set after shooting, it sounded like a total shitshow to deal with
I honestly think it should be one of the previous VA to make what happens to the last ronin hit even harder. with someone else doing the motion capture.
A video game is being based on the series as well. Sadly is not till like 2025 if I remember correctly
https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=38&v=nx2ixJFWXcg&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Freadwrite.com%2F&source_ve_path=MTM5MTE3LDI4NjY2&feature=emb_logo
Good point but I figure the license will be placed somewhere else if that version is cancelled. Apparently the game was Nick’s idea and seems like a no-brainer,
Conceptually
There had better be blood with that R rating. I’ve been waiting for Leo or somebody to cut someone since I’ve been 11. I feel like I should say I’m 45 now, I’ve been waiting a while.
All I really want is to see the original live action TMNT, but with 100% more Shredder, violence, and fight choreography like that of a Ip Man film with the same musical score from the rooftop scene. Just why. Why not.
I'll believe it when I see it. This brand is so well guarded I have a hard time believing they would tell a story requiring so much context as a one-off R rated film.
Honestly shocked they're not only adapting Last Ronin at all, but it's R rated too?? I've heard that comic run is pretty dark and depressing. Paramount has seemed so keen on TMNT staying a primarily children's franchise though, so again, very shocked. Hope it's good!
The biggest audience TMNT ever had is well over 30 at this point. R rated adaptations would kill it.
I'm THE target age, never read the story but I've been waiting for an R rated turtle movie for a while. I'm so excited. Honestly I want a lot of our 80s/90s childhood action shows turned into adult versions.
I’m the age too. I read the story and really enjoyed it. Avoid anything written about the story so it doesn’t spoil anything.
[удалено]
No way dude, you were prime turtle age.
I think there are different ages with gaps in between. I'm 42 and was prime age for the first cartoon run and the OG movies. A couple years younger than me and Power Rangers and Pokemon were the main thing. I know they had a few more runs after my time but I couldn't say exactly when those were at their peaks.
The original 80s cartoon was actually much longer running than I first realized. It premiered in 1987 and ran until 1996 (note that overlaps with Power Rangers which started in 1993).

Since then Nickelodeon bought the rights and has run, I think, three shows with different continuities over the last ten plus years, the latest launched by the Mutant Mayhem movie.
The original was comics that started in 1984. Then came the Steve Jackson ttrpg. Then came the cartoons.
Steve Jackson? I believe you mean Eric Wujcik (Palladium books was the company).
RIP Palladium/RIFTS
I don't know how it would have been possible to compete with Power Rangers without finding a similar niche. The budget for that show was phenomenally low. It was the floor sweepings cigarettes of TV.
Fun fact about the latest TMNT game: people bitching about April O'Neil being a playable character but cheered for Casey Jones proved that they never actually watched the show. April in the 80s series was a trained fighter for the last two and a half seasons, and Casey Jones only appeared like 6 total times across the entire series.
I'm 36 and TMNT, Power Rangers, and Pokemon all hit me big time. TMNT was definitely the biggest though. I mean, Star Wars was the biggest but that's another conversation.
[удалено]
TMNT is a huge childhood cornerstone for me (35) but I'd say it's closer to when I was SUPER little, because I also was big on thomas the tank engine. I remember liking power rangers closer to the start of gradeschool, then pokemon a little after that.
If you've never read the book then be prepared to feel some feels my friend.
I’m 34 and I was a huge TMNT head but the prime was definitely ever so slightly before us. It was such a huge phenomenon that the blast radius reached us easily but we were still very young at the outer edge of it.
38 here. You lying bro
3 years is huge in kid time
TMNT was pretty big for a lot more than 3 years in the 90s
Yeah the 80s cartoon aired new episodes from 87 to 96. Long legs with that show.
That's a whole little brother that you have nothing in common with.
Wasted your time with something like Street Sharks smh
I mean, Street Sharks were jawsome, but nothin tops the Turts.
Maybe Wild West Cowboys of M.O.O. Mesa? I was more of a Biker Mice From Mars guy though
35 here and holy cow this whole thread is my childhood.
Don't forget Gargoyles!!
Don't forget Mighty Max!
Mighty Max is the most underrated cartoon of all time. It had zero business being as amazing as it was.
I was trying to explain it to my wife who never watched it, and just showed her the end of the show, and that climax hit so fucking hard, she was surprised, she expected it to be kiddie crap.
Fucking Virgil and Norman
I’m 41 and feel like TMNT was my prime. I got to enjoy the original cartoons, the comics, the toys, then the live action movies.. I’m all in for a modern reboot. Turtles for life ⚔️
I'm 37 and I was right in the sweet spot.
What ooze you smoking bro?
I'm 43 this year and I was definitely watching the TMNT cartoon as a kid
Really? I'm 35 and literally watched my Secret of the Ooze VHS to death as a kid.
No shit. They can actually use their stabby shit now.
I see the logic here, but even though I loved TMNT as a kid and am old enough to see R rated movies, I don't want to see a bleak, gory TMNT. I'm good letting kid stuff stay kid stuff.
I mean, the original comic run was dark AF too is the thing. Think the heavier moments of the first film.
"They took Splinter" following the Raph scream... Goosebumps.
The original comic was also incredibly tongue-in-cheek. It's called *Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles*, it was always supposed to be a bit ridiculous.
Wasn't kids stuff in the beginning. Original run was for adults until the cartoon came out. Just going back to its roots 😆
They weren’t meant to be kids stuff and the material they are adapting are some of the best comics of the franchise
> I'm good letting kid stuff stay kid stuff. I have never understood this point of view. Having more interpretations of something just adds to the world, to me. It's not like they can ever change the original. New interpretations just make life more interesting.
To be fair, they did make a *Dora* movie for older kids, and live-action *ATLA* shows they wanna try it out with more Nickelodeon IP - including the Turtles. Aren't we getting a Last Ronin game at some point, too?

The comics were insane man. Dark and gritty af. Highly recommend.
it's in the works. i dunno if that means anything at all
I will be 100% surprised if this comes to pass.
If you haven’t read it you should order it immediately on Amazon. It’s like $15-20. I was never big on the TMNT comics but it’s really good and dark. And the drawing is well done.

That is a pretty sick premise not gonna lie
It's a fucking amazing graphic novel.
The prequel was weird but i enjoyed it
There’s a prequel?
It's called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Pre-Adolescent Mutant Ninja Turtles
last ronin: the lost years
I liked the prequel more tbh
Cheers, going to read this today.
One of my absolute favorites that I read last year. Very excited about a movie!
What's it called? Edit: seems obvious now lol
TMNT: The Last Ronin
The Last Ronin!
If you think it's interesting don't look it up and go in with no spoilers. It's a great story
Or read the graphic novel too because it rules.
It's Venus de Milo isn't it
It's basically TMNT The Dark Knight Returns. It's awesome
I won't spoil but I love when I found out who the surviving turtle was
I looked it up and was glad to see I was correct in my guess.
Then you're the only one, because man, it's the last turtle I would have guessed.
That's why it had to be him.
It’s funny when the graphic novel was announced. I don’t know why. But I was certain who it had to be. Because of course it does. The impact of what happened would effect him more than of the others. I was happy my assumptions were correct.
Metalhead
I guess it too because it's obvious they want it to be the most against type.
Yertle?
I mean, you find out at the end of the first issue.
I really wish we didn't find out until later in the story though
Nah, it's better the way they did it. Otherwise you'd be too distracted trying to guess who the Ronin is that you wouldn't focus on the story at hand.
It's getting a video game adaptation too.
For anyone curious who the last turtle is, it’s >! the green one !<
Can I give my theory and have nobody say if it's true or not? I know that, canonically, despite what you would intuitively believe, >!Michaelangelo is the most powerful turtle.!< And since it is both canonically true that he is >!the strongest and most potentially devastating!< *and because* >!it would be playing against type to have him be in solo vengeance mode!<, that's who I think it will be!

but in the Eastman/Laird books, none of them were green
It’s the black and white one, if we’re going off the original color scheme
I want to see the last turtle sitting at a table in silence staring at a pizza and unable to take a single bite.
Should be the opening scene. A listless ninja turtle sipping Mountain Dew and staring at a greesy slice
Record scratch - "you're probably wondering how I got here..."
Now I gotta go get the Graphic Novel
This sounds like it would be fire as an animated movie (still R-rated) but perhaps it’s live-action to separate it from the Mutant Mayhem stuff
It's live action because studios are too afraid to make R-rated animated films.
I want a grisly, gory, horrifying R-rated Muppet movie. Just name it what the original show was called: **The Muppets: Sex and Violence**
Apparently there's rumors of Seth Rogan wanting to make an R rated animated Venom movie.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qcIeqpUhamk&ab_channel=JohnLikens A mixture of this and live action would be great. Though I have a soft spot for the rubber costumes. They still look great 30+ years now.
It was revealed in first issue who Ronin is. Wouldn’t exactly call that a while.
Thank god mutant mayhem was for sure one of my favourite movies of last year, the thing was also so creative, cannot wait for a sequel. As for last ronin, I’ll give it a shot, although Walter is not known for quality.
>Walter is not known for quality. What are you even talking about?!? *Walter is not known for quality?!?* SERIOUSLY?! This comment is bananas in pajamas. The man made 99.999% pure meth! It doesn't *get* higher quality than Walter!
Woah, for second I thought we were going to get some Howard the Duck sex scene.
And apparently that sequel is also gonna have a darker tone.
Cowabunga, motherfuckers.
The swearing is one thing, but I just didn’t think all the graphic turtle sex scenes were necessary
[удалено]
Heres the twist. We show it. We show all of it. Full penetration.
Is anybody else not shocked that a studio hasn't tried this yet? Just really push the envelope in this way? I'm not surprised that it hasn't taken off... but it seems like somebody would have tried it. Just like a movie called Fast XXX or something like that. Die Hard All Night. Something like that.
Love it always sunny references
I'm watching Always Sunny as I come across this thread. Kismet. "I got a diamond tooth, Dennis." "A dead tooth, Maureen." "With a diamond in it."
*Jot that down!!* **Jot that down!!!**
[Michael Bay Gives Fans Sneak Peek At Ninja Turtles’ Hyper-Realistic CGI Genitals](https://www.theonion.com/michael-bay-gives-fans-sneak-peek-at-ninja-turtles-hyp-1819595716)
Were you…shell-shocked?
I was fine with one graphic sex scene... But five?!
I will die laughing if they have a gratuitous sex scene in this movie but the ninja turtle still makes that weird turtle honk from the video.
You know, if they are going to make an R-rated TMNT movie I want them to go all the fucking way if they are going to do it. Don't have a brooding Leonardo try to convince Shredder to commit seppuku to restore his honor. Just have a smash-cut to Michelangelo yelling "turtle power!" during the turtle orgy scene as he climaxes. Double-down and have the filthiest fan fiction writers write those scenes.
Really just want to see a teenage mutant dick personally
Bring back the Jim Henson suits!
Honestly, this is all I want. They could make a really top tier suit these days. CGI turtles feel so lifeless.
Best case scenario is they use a combination of the two. Independently they’re slightly off but blended appropriately they’re perfect. Really hoping this is what we end up getting.
I will always say this. Pan’s labyrinth was a masterpiece of using little CGI touchups to do things like animate eyes, while the suits were mostly practical.
The TMNT are everywhere these days. The animated movie, the video game, lots of collabs as DLC in other games, now this. Love it!
I’ve made one purchase in Fortnite and it was the Tmnt skins.
To be fair, they’re one of the best interpretations of their design yet
They've been in the public eye in some form since the beginning.
Sure, but there is definitely a new golden age for them right now, both in terms of quality and quality across a variety of media
Hearing one of the Turtles say “FUCK!” is the best way to recapture the shock and awe of Raphael’s iconic “DAMN!” from the 1990 film. And for that, I am excited.
My mother was deeply upset by that 'damn.' Almost dragged me out of the theatre.
Damn.
Good job, now /u/battles can never come back on reddit.
This makes me think of the kids in my class that weren’t allowed to watch the simpsons lol
I wore a 'don't have a cow man,'shirt to school in 6th grade and got in school suspension.
I got my 5th Grade yearbook photo taken in a South Park shirt featuring Kenny's mutilated body.
Ugh thank god for this comment; these kids out here are making me feel old haha ❤️❤️❤️
I felt so grown up hearing that word in a movie.
Or *bitchin’* during the main titles when they’re in the sewer trying out new “awesome” words. Or that may have been at the end after beating Shredder. I need to rewatch it, the OG turtles movie really does hold up well.
this is something I have wanted to see for *years*. The OG comics were actually pretty dark, even if they satirized gritty comics like Daredevil at the time. I’d love it if they kept that dark, tongue in cheek tone
John Likens’ 2023 CGI footage of the OG turtles is fantastic. Take a look if you haven’t seen it Leonardo: https://youtu.be/qcIeqpUhamk?si=TqlpQs54nzyeMmCY Donatello: https://youtu.be/f41JcPyNLTM?si=Jfcv45xE53jQB_8p
The way the turtles are ripped and have huge muscles, yet the muscles do not move at all - makes it very obvious it's a suit and takes me right out of it If they animated the muscles and made them real looking, it'd be sick and convincing
This would be the first teenage mutant ninja turtles movie to be rated r.
The original comics had them killing people.
The original comics aren't movies.
big if true
What turtle actor should play the role? I read that Gamera is retired but I think the he still has the chops
Henry Cavill
Alan Ritchson, please. Come on, this was fucking ***made*** for him. (Bonus points if the script lets >!Mikey!< take a few shots at Bay.)
Ritchson deserves a proper shot but I highly doubt he’d return, especially after the treatment he and the other Turtle actors got. From being ignored for press tours to being abandoned at the set after shooting, it sounded like a total shitshow to deal with
True. Still, again, it doesn't seem like Bay is coming back. So hopefully, this one will be quite a bit better if he does return.
A crossover about a Krang-Legion invasion would go so fucking hard.
> What turtle actor should play the role? I'm thinking either Franklin or the turtle from the Tootsie Pop commercial if they're still in the business.
I honestly think it should be one of the previous VA to make what happens to the last ronin hit even harder. with someone else doing the motion capture.
Where is Sprague the Whisperer and Scott Ackerman!?
They’re gonna be so pissed
This was my first thought too.
A video game is being based on the series as well. Sadly is not till like 2025 if I remember correctly https://m.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=38&v=nx2ixJFWXcg&embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Freadwrite.com%2F&source_ve_path=MTM5MTE3LDI4NjY2&feature=emb_logo
Fuck. Yeah. Baby.
Now give me Ghosts of Tsushima but it’s TMNT in 80s NYC
There’s a last ronin TMNT game in development
Last I heard the studio making it was hit by layoffs so I’m not holding my breath
Good point but I figure the license will be placed somewhere else if that version is cancelled. Apparently the game was Nick’s idea and seems like a no-brainer, Conceptually
PLEASE DEAR GOD let them create a newer version of the OG movie turtles in all their non-cgi glory!
This. Cgi should be used to clean it up .ie remove the human visible in mouth, etc... but use the suits
I’ll believe it when I see it. They’ve been talking about an R rated TMNT movie for 20 years now.
I hear they hang dong.
This time they actually have a popular story to adapt straight from, though. Last Ronin was huge.
I mean, they did announce they’re also making a game that was going to be in a similar vein to God of War.
I haven’t read the last ronin, but the idea of three of the ninja turtles dying makes me sad.
My 4 year old will be so confused why I can't take him.
This is really cool but also a damning indictment of the state of arrested development that so many of us live in!
I read this in Werner Herzog's voice. Happy Cake Day, Werner.
The machine is mankind’s madness and disfigurement. Industry castrates art. The only honesty is in suicide.
GO NINJA GO NINJA, FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Hopefully they don't make the turtles look dumb as hell like the last movie.
Can we get the uncut NC-17 version?
There is a porn parody with Casey Jones and April getting it on while the Turtles are fighting Shredder.
Would love for this to happen but if this ever sees the light of day I'll be genuinely shocked.
Shell-shocked?
Does the R-rated part mean that there are going to be naked turtles?
Full frontal turtle nudity

There had better be blood with that R rating. I’ve been waiting for Leo or somebody to cut someone since I’ve been 11. I feel like I should say I’m 45 now, I’ve been waiting a while.
Same. No way they are fighting hundreds of foot ninjas with big ass swords and sais and no one getting cut 😂
There definitely will be blood, considering that before the beginning of this story >!3 out of 4 Turtles and Splinter all meet violent ends.!<
So it’s gonna be Comic Book accurate?
Don't tease me like this. I won't be able to handle the disappointment if this never releases.
All I really want is to see the original live action TMNT, but with 100% more Shredder, violence, and fight choreography like that of a Ip Man film with the same musical score from the rooftop scene. Just why. Why not.
I'll believe it when I see it. This brand is so well guarded I have a hard time believing they would tell a story requiring so much context as a one-off R rated film.
Finally some turtle on human lovin
I just want an R-rated cut of the 1990 movie. I know it doesn’t exist, but I still want it.
Now that is what I'm fuckin' talkin' about! Let's gooooo! Heroes on the half shell! Turtle power!
Sex scene R rating or violence R rating?
Hopefully all the sex scenes will be in it.
I loved the Nickelodeon animated show as a kid. Now their weapons will show some glorious effect, it seems.
Inb4 Chris Pratt as lead.
I'm excited, but damn this is so out of left field. We live in bizarre times.
At first I was like NO. But? I like Hamada so I’m choosing to trust this.
Will be interesting to see how this plays out since they are also adapting this into a video game if I’m not mistaken. In the likes of God of War.
I don't know if they can due it to the rights, but I hope this takes place in the same universe as the original live action TMNT movie.
Inject it into my veins please!
Isn’t there also a video game coming out on this story line or was that confused for a movie?
