Sure looks like Flashpoint is a heavy influence on this one, which had been previously rumored.

James Gunn has been making comments that make it sound like they also

The new Guardians of the Galaxy trailer is great!

I have so little interest in DC these days, but The Flash looks pretty darn good. I lost it when Michael Keaton showed up! "I'm Batman!"

Guardians looks like it's gonna be a tear-jerker too. As someone who cracks at the end of Volume 2 without fail, I'm dreading Volume 3 haha

The Flash looks like a winner. Been fooled before though.

This looks fudging wiiiild. I've heard the story before, but it'll be neat to see it play out in live action.

Looks good. I don't know anything about the story, so I'm looking forward to it.

The Japanese guy at the end "not bad." Ha! Not bad? He definitely liked it.

Looks like it could be a great movie.

There's just one thing missing in the trailer. Where's @Frank?

Unfortunately, I didn't land the role. My screen filled too fast

Frank, if I was watching that movie and you made an appearance, that would be awesome. I'd have to pause and appreciate the moment.

Any chance you can get on there somehow? Maybe pass by the set as they're filming? (If they're still filming)

Man, I'd love to be in a movie. Tetris movie, unfortunately, is already done filming. Comes out March 31st.

That's supposed to be Hiroshi Yamauchi, the then president of Nintendo.

I used to have a full-size arcade standup of Tetris that I picked up cheap. Not my thing for an arcade game, so I sold it off fairly quickly...

Oof I’d kill for one of those bad boys. Been playing both Puyo Puyo Tetris 2 and Tetris for Gameboy a bunch lately since that trailer dropped. I feel like that game is under appreciated nowadays. Every time I pick it up, I play for far too long haha

Also after PPT2, Gameboy Tetris is difficult to play. Great for the nostalgia though.

Yeah, some games that I used to love (either in the arcade or on consoles) are just not as far as arcade games at home. Like, for example, it's really very different when, at home, you have infinite quarters for some games. Like, it was great in the arcade when you were actually spending money and had a limit of how long you could continue. But, at home, when you can just keep triggering free credits, it just isn't the same. So, for those games, I decided to sell them instead. For others (like Tetris), it's just a matter of them not translating as well to arcade versus handheld play. I just didn't enjoy Tetris as an arcade game, I guess.

This movie looks like it's going to fudging rule. I had my doubts when I saw some of the designs but this trailer + the cast has completely restored my faith. New TMNT, YES!

95% in this except for Splinter. I did not like his hair and I definitely don't like the choice of voice actor.

I feel like the hair will change within the story, but you’re not a Jackie Chan fan? (Didn’t neg obv.)

I like his older movies. I don't like his stance on Hong Kong, though.

What makes you think it will rule? It looks like ass.

Oh well you see, subjective opinions and all. Wild huh?

I think it looks great. Roughly 400x better than the previous two movies (even if I sorta dig the second one).

How do you think Donatello having glasses rules?

How could any adult be upset about something so inconsequential? Genuinely, who who could ever give half a fudge?

How is he going to be a ninja with glasses, lol.

And who is upset? I was only trying to have a conversation. Butthurt, much?

Lol brother, I’m not butthurt, ya popped in questioning my excitement for a movie as opposed to sharing your own thoughts. I just think your nitpick is a goofy thing to judge a movie on. You could just as easily ask “how is he going to be a ninja AS A TURTLE?” I think they’ll figure out how to handle something as daunting as a character in glasses just fine.

Tbh he’s worn eyewear in the comics and previous movies too, they may even acknowledge it in the story. Just don’t think it’s indicative of the movie being ass is all, but whatev. To each their own of course.

I'm stoked for it. Even though TMNT keeps getting a new identity every several years, I dig it. Keep them fresh and relatable to current gen. I hope it delivers!

I dunno @theJaw... First it's glasses, then it's turtle on turtle action, then it's fudging anarchy and chaos. Allllll because you seem to think glasses aren't a big deal. You're clearly gonna screw it up for everyone! Thanks in advance you son of a dog!

Lol I must repent, and WE must rise up against the glasses problem in this country

Haha, this made me legit lol

You can't be a bo staff fighter doing flips and summersaults while wearing glasses...

You can’t be a ninja and be a teenage mutant. Nit picking -I know.

Bullcrap.

All it takes is a strap around the back of the head that closes with velcro and keeps the glasses on your face. Or glasses that are designed more like goggles that strap on the same way. Morgan Hurd on Team USA Gymnastics was wearing glasses in competition for years, and seemed to have a strap around her head keeping them on. Plenty of flips and somersaults there.

Questioning glasses on a TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLE is hilarious.

These turtles living in a sewer with no UVA/B is an issue. They need a nice heat gradient / basking spots etc.

They also have a very questionable diet. Pizza does not include all needed vitamins and minerals. I bet that's why they're so short.

Really a very negative influence on proper turtle husbandry. PETA inc.

They're humanoid mutant turtles. It's not based on logic or reason.

I need you to prove you’re a bo staff fighter to back this claim up, and then I promise I will retract everything I’ve said about this animated movie based on the very real possibility of mutant turtles fighting crime.
