I need this to be good for my childhood. I have little confidence in Michael Bay or Megan Fox, but I actually dig the turtles' designs. They're not supposed to be pretty.

drat, I started to say to google screens from the 1990 film and look at how ugly those are, but I did it myself and I'm so wrong. Those costumes were loving awesome.

I should also be clear that by being good for my childhood I mean I need this to be successful enough to have a sequel so I can see Krang on the silver screen. (There should be a Krang smilie, this is where I would use it.)

Possibly Controversial Statement: I believe pornstar April O'Neil would be a better April O'Neil than Megan Fox.

You're right. April isn't supposed to stand around looking hot, she's supposed to be spunky.

Things for Bay to consider with that casting decision:

April O'Neil posted:

gently caress Raph. Marry Don. Kill Leo. Have Mikey direct an orgy of me

This thread is really bad because it's a compendium of every possible nerd cliche reaction.

Halle Berry looks vapid, Zack Snyder's a fratboy, George Lucas raped my childhood, I don't like Catwoman's feet, Superman's too grimdark, Hugh Jackman's too tall....

Avatar's problem was not that it was "Dances With Smurfs (lol they're blue! Blue is the color of Smurfs that are also CGI!)," but that it was very dumb about racism and, therefore, dumb about how we understand alien people with different-coloured skin. If anything, Avatar did the Smurfs a grave disservice.

The proper fan response is not "The turtles look like Shrek and Shrek is poo poo therefore everything is poo poo" but, rather, "Shrek looks like a Ninja Turtle and consequently should have been afforded that same level of respect."

Yeah but what do you think about ninja turtles?

They've just announced some recasting of the voice actors, Johnny Knoxville is replacing Pete Ploznek as Leonardo and Tony Shaloub is replacing Danny Woodburn as Splinter, both Ploznek and Woodburn did the mocap acting.

Aw, I was actually kind of excited to hear Woodburn's Splinter because I thought he might have a bit more of a cranky or exasperated take on him. I love Shaloub but I've heard his usual laconic thing a bunch of times.

Knoxville as a turtle... who knows? He has some fun energy but I can't recall that ever coming through in a voice role.
