New Live Action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Movie In The Works? - Part 2

[camp Blood]

I kinda liked it but at least you get the reference

[Spider-Aziz]

Watched TMNT 3 last night, I still like it

[Project862006]

anyone think Mikey and Raphael are limited due to their weapon of choice when it comes to combat

unlike donnie who has a staff he can knock guys out with and can do so much with it

and leo has his 2 swords

i hope they let raph use his hands and punch some guys with a more dirty style

and utilize Mikey with more speed

[camp Blood]

I know they won't but I would like to see raph stab the foot with his sai

[Nathan]

I wouldn't mind stabbing, as long as it's non-lethal in most cases. Like shoulder stabs.

[camp Blood]

shoulder and leg stabs

maybe he can do a lethal one but simply for plot development

I don't know, KFC hasn't changed their recipe in over 60 years, and they're still the #1 fried chicken franchise in North America. Sure, they've ADDED new things to the menue (extra crispy, extra spicy, grilled, etc) but they've never gone as far as Coca Cola did back in the 80's and change their entire recipe. I mean, look how badly that turned out for New Coke.

Bay's Ninja Turtles are gonna be New Coke Ninja Turtles. All Turtle fans would much rather a Vanilla Coke Ninja Turtles or an Extra Spicy Ninja Turtles. If you see where I'm going with this analogy.

I don't see where you are going since as me personally I like change if it's good, I will never be against change by default. Man I wouldn't been able to love as many bands and movies as I do, which is my big passion. Change is neccesary. God it would be boring if every incarnation of TMNT would have been exactly like the original Mirage run. Then we wouldn't have the very fun, goofy loveable Turtles that most of us fell in love with from the beginning. I'm not saying everything should change 180 degrees everytime but some characters and worlds are worth more than one single take, that's why my most loved characters and franchises has gone through several different incarnations and versions and I can love more than one version/incarnation of it/them.

How would you define "not stupid" in the realm of the Ninja Turtles?

[camp Blood]

Venus de Milo = stupid

a slight weapon change to give Donnie more combat effectiveness = not stupid

[louiebling$]

Hell No Changing Donnie Staff to some more "effective" would be Stupid...what makes a Staff Less "Effective"?

Someone who has Honed the Craft of Fighting with a staff is just as effective as someone with a "lethal" weapon...Making a Weapong Lethal doesn't make it more effective....Nunchucks are a prime example. Someone who mastered a sword would have difficulty with someone who has mastered the Chucks or Bowstaff

[camp Blood]

then I'll use another example

Venus de Milo= stupid

slight costume changes= not stupid

and the only reason I said the Donnie thing is that I'm not against giving him a zanbatou but if he has a reenforced bow that is fine

as long as a sword can't cut through it

[louiebling$]

That's better

Fixed.

yeah yeah keep the troll wagon moving

and it doesn't change the fact that a wooden bow isnt the strongest defense against a bladed weapon

Why are you so concerned about how hard Donnie's wood is?

It's not about the strength of his bo. He has that weapon for a reason. Depending on how someone uses their weapon, they can defeat someone with a stronger weapon. If you want to talk about the strength of his bo, there are some types of stong wood that can stop a blade... Some people may look at Donnie's weapon of choice and think "ha ha he has a stick", but they underestimate his skill and that's already part of how he defeats you. Another thing about Donnie is that he's a smart calculated fighter. So with that in mind, there is no need to change his weapon. Like I mentioned before, there can be metal on the ends of his bo, but nothing extreme because Donnie likes simplicity.

[camp Blood]

i dont underestimate his skill at all i personally think donnie equipped with a metal bo would be a devastating force

imagine if he had aerith's bo or something like this

What the hell...so your saying since his Bow is Wood its automatically not as effective as a Blade?

Yes Because Master Martial Artists developed that form of weaponry to be easily defated by any bladed weapon

[camp Blood]

i'm just saying after a few good blocks the bo will break its simple physics

but if you give him a aluminum bo staff he would be mean as hell

Well in that case, why not give Mikey metal nunchucks?

Donnie's bo already has devistating force because of the power he puts into it. There's no reason to make it metal...Oh and I have to pass on that bo. It reminds me of American Gladiators.

[camp Blood]

ok fair enough but you dont have to be a d!ck about it

I think your underestimating how strong Certain Woods Are


I'm not against a metal staff...I just understand the reasoning on keeping it wood
