..But it IS the turtles...Nearly EVERY incarnation of the turtles has ALWAYS been different. Hell, the 80's cartoon that everyone is SO fond of (Myself included) and say is the "Original" is NOTHING like the original, which was a dark, gritty, black and white comic book. Both are vastly different from the 90's movies, which are vastly different from the 2003 cartoon. We can't say this "Isn't Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" when EVERY incarnation is so VASTLY different. They aren't Hulk sized, that's an exaggeration. They're big, yes, but and being able to deflect gunfire has been shown in other versions of TMNT as well...Yes, they look AWFUL. They truly do. But really, that's it. Everything else is pretty similar to stuff we've seen in other Turtles media, be it the original dark comic books, the cheesy 80's comedies, the action oriented 90's movies, or the darker cartoon of the early 2000's. There isn't a "Casual" audience for this. TMNT has been a staple in Pop culture since 19887, therefore nearly EVERYONE is part of it's audience. Everyone is going to go see it (Myself included), see if it's good, and either universally hate it, or, turn out that is' NOT so bad, and everyone just hates it because they look like sh*t. Which they do. But that shouldn't be the ONLY reason to hate it. As far as Shredder goes, he looks no different than the Super Shredder in the second live action movie, or one of the MANY Shredders that existed in the alternate dimensions of the 2003 Turtles universe.
