FAN MADE: The New TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES Get A Classic Makeover

One of the things from the TMNT trailer that came in for the most backlash was the (kinda creepy) new designs for the awesome foursome. Well, now a fan has given Leo and Mikey a bit of digital plastic surgery to make them look more like the classic incarnations. See what you think after the jump.

The new human-like designs for Leo, Mikey, Raph and Donny may look a bit more realistic (as in, what 4 turtles would look like if they were ACTUALLY mutated into talking human hybrids), but the added nostrils, lips and overall face shapes also makes them look ever so slightly..unnerving. Well now a Reddit user has altered the faces of both Mikey and Leo from two of the shots from the trailer. I don't know if they look better exactly, but they definitely look more like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles we know and love.




What do you think? Would you prefer if the Turtles looked more like this in the movie?
"The city needs heroes. Darkness has settled over New York City as Shredder and his evil Foot Clan have an iron grip on everything from the police to the politicians. The future is grim until four unlikely outcast brothers rise from the sewers and discover their destiny as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The Turtles must work with fearless reporter April and her wise-cracking cameraman Vern Fenwick to save the city and unravel Shredder’s diabolical plan."

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is directed by Jonathan Liebesman. It stars Megan Fox, Pete Ploszek, Noel Fisher, Jeremy Howard, Alan Ritchson, Danny Woodburn, William Fichtner, Will Arnett, Whoopi Goldberg and opens August 8.

A big complaint (As stupid as it is) was that they look weird. Tell me, does this not look creepy?

The middle Leo pic is a perfectly middle ground between the old and new looks. They should've leaned towards that instead of making them look like "alien" turtles.

I rather have Michael Bay direct this movie, it would be better than the hack they got. These images are way better than the final version.

There's nothing alien about them. lol. They're [frick]ing anthropomorphic.

"Classic" Mikey looks goddamn creepy, but the middle Leo from the 3 looks the best.

I think the reasons behind the weird faces is the same reasons they didnt give a snout to the lizard in the amazing spider-man, just simple talking and expressions,but I dolike the original style better than the shrek looking stuff

Those fan mades look so much better.
MrCBM56
MrCBM56 - 4/1/2014, 6:42 PM
Yeah, the reasons the turtles have a much more human structured face is probably to show more emotion; especially considering how they used mo-cap.

I like the classic look better. They must weigh half a ton though. The giant "thud" they make when they land must defeat the purpose of being stealthy and ninja-like.

The fan paint-over is miles better than the trailer versions. It's not even close how much more appealing the characters are without those creepy human faces.

I like the middle Leo. They should have done something similar to that. The ones in the movie look way too human.

But great manipulation

Those look [frick]ing retarded. Not that I care that much about this movie to begin with, but I couldn't take the newer versions seriously if those were the final designs. It looks like their faces were shot full of helium.

Great redesign by the Reddit user... Much better

THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - 4/1/2014, 7:00 PM
They don't even look like turtles in this movie. They look like deformed humans. This would have been so much better:

Honestly, the TNT new design looks like they are a bunch pf black guys. I don't know if this wrong or right, but I've felt myself unconfortable with this - mutant aberrations equals black people, I don't know...

Mikey looked like a woodchuck or something when he took off his mask. Kinda weird. I like these designs more, not because they look exactly better but because they look more classic.
