FAN ART: Stephen Amell As 'Casey Jones' In TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES 2

Omfg..

Saw this, early this morning.

[frick] this Movie. Bay is trolling y'all like a pro.

Stephen Amell "[frick] DC and the DCCU. I'll make my own Justice League, with the Ninja Turtles."

I really don't think Amell suits this roll at all!!

hurm

Bay settled for Arnell when the sham-wow guy turned them down.

The sinceriously button.

Wait, you guys, who know that the idea of Ninja Turtles is ridiculous in its own right, based on a TV show built around toys, not comics, and the sequel to a movie that, while bad, still isn't the worst Ninja Turtles movie, find this casting choice bad? Why, because the turtles had so much dignity before? Please remember, this franchise has literally had worse then both Stephen Amell AND Micheal Bay. Remember how everyone complained about Megan Fox, well, she wasn't good, but, she could have been a LOT worse.

@dannramm113

Right, and Spider-man isn't ridiculous? Pre 2000, 95% of all CBM's sucked.
Doesn't mean they have to continue to suck.

Eh, TMNT was a comic before it was a toy, then a cartoon. And it wasn't/isn't supposed to be ridiculous... in fact it was originally quite a dark superhero satire. Granted that all changed with the kid's cartoon, but the comics continue to be a bit more gritty. The first film was a bit of a mess, but I think they nailed the Turtles themselves. If they can get their act together for the sequel there is potential.

As for Amell, I don't rate him or Arrow much but I wouldn't say he's BAD. We'll see

@RorMachine

yeah, I know and understand that. I meant that the tv show wasn't based upon the comics, which were dark and gritty, but instead based on the toys. thats where a lot of the supporting characters came from, including beebop and rocksteady stc

What are the Ninja Turtles? A group of four dumb, fun-loving, mutated, teenage turtles who love pizza and skateboarding. Leo fills the leadership role and is mostly serious. Raph is the angry one with a deep sensitive spot for his brothers. Mikey is dumb but ridiculously happy to be alive. Donny is the smart one that loves gadgets and being a nerd.

If I didn't know any better, I'd say that's EXACTLY what the turtles were like in the first movie. Megan Fox as April wasn't ideal, but it worked. Shredder could have had more depth, but you know he'll come back. There may have even been some really convenient plot points, but those fill some of the best CBMs of our time. Point is, it's a movie built strictly around entertainment value. If you go out of your way to boycott the sequel or bash the franchise or stick to your guns about how much better the original movies were, you're probably just a nitpicking crybaby. Not every action flick can be or should be The Dark Knight.

That said, I think Amell will surprise the few that care enough about fun to catch the sequel. If he does suck, oh well. I guess I'll just have to cry my heart out on the internet for attention.

I actually think Robbie is better for the role, hes not so serious

So many of y'all complain holy crap I'm starting to hate this site

@PietrMaximoff

For a movie built around "entertainment value" it wasn't entertaining, and it had no value.

Point is, TMNT has been handled poorly numerous times. There are numerous examples of it sucking.
The source material ( the comics you [frick]tards, not the 80's cartoon) have some great story arcs.

Could be great, instead we get this garbage.

And compared to the Avengers, the Baymovie was...?

@Commenter77

Just barely not as good...if that business guy was actually Shredder like originally planned, same level:)
