Top is classic TMNT, middle is improved fan version, bottom is creepy Michael Bay version

ranakar1920
I want this movie with these edits and no Micheal Bay, and no Megan Fox.
Orphic
In case it helps, the bottom ones are the ones from the trailer.
Communinja
Michelangelo without his mask:
ProfessorKamenRider
Shouldn't the new images be 2 and the old images be 1?
ImTheGoddamnBatwoman
That really is a huge improvement! Those look a little more like the turtles I know and love.
SpoonOfDoom
Indeed. If I had any photoshop skills, I would additionally edit the skin on the head to match the smoothness of the nose, though.

My childhood!!
HuntheUniverse
This is why we can't have nice things.

Is it just me or do the Michael Bay features look like incredibly racist black caricatures?

Looks more like Yoshi, but still close.

TheWalkingDon
Wow. They look a lot better with the original nose look.
jdavis1186
Here's the trailer so everyone can see the ugly ones in action: http://youtu.be/nCjsWpM9zFU
HeyyyyyMacarena
The only good thing about it is that I didn't have to hear Megan Fox speak.
Conradian
Tbh they're not actually that bad in process. Could be better and more classic, but it's not the worst they could be.
MrJohnsonAndTheJuiceCrew
this would actually be kinda cool if it wasnt bastardizing my childhood
AwkwardKyle
They look off, but at least they're personalities seem about right. And William Fichtner as Shredder should be pretty rad.
Optimixto
Who the fuck does that? Putting the "before editting" before the original one!?
SpoonOfDoom
Bad people. Monsters with no regard to order or established rules.
WabanakiWarrior
Improved? Shit's terrifying
Nightley
screens with nostrils are from the trailer. More classic look is what was improved here.
jdavis1186
Pictures labeled "2" are the actual trailer images =(
vorduul
The second pic took a jump off a cliff and slammed into the uncanny valley floor.
psychedelicspacetiger
Took me a second to get it... then +1 sir/madamn
jdavis1186
The second pic is the actual movie still. First pic is the fixed one.
vorduul
Then thank god for OP, lol. That is some disturbing shit.
SpoonOfDoom
I think it's worth pointing out that the "2"s are the original and the "1"s are the edited versions. IMO, the 1s look far less creepy.
buttalips
If the Turtles look like THAT then I'm scared of how they designed Splinter.
SpoonOfDoom
For reference, here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wRipBOQl95o
Kaysmira
The 1s are more in line with EVERY incarnation of the turtles to date, and dodge the uncanny valley much better.
SpoonOfDoom
My thoughts exactly. Only thing that's missing is the skin on top of the head - doesn't quite match the smoothness of the nose.
SpoonOfDoom
But that's just nitpicking. If I could have a version of the movie with those more classic noses, I'd be the happiest turtle on earth.
Harcorepkurharcoreprkur
Agreed. I couldn't even pay attention to the trailer because of the disgusting uncanny vallery. They looked like turds with lips
SpoonOfDoom
Until now, I couldn't even put my finger on it. I thought it was the head shape, but this showed me that the noses are the biggest problem.
Harcorepkurharcoreprkur
Yup, it crossed a line and made them look like awful looking people, rather than turtles.
BassTapir
Turdles.
AcclaimNation
Yeah Vallery, get your shit together.
wamccarthy
AV Club described them as "melted Shreks."
Flaniflaffle
Am I the only one who doesn't like their nose and lips?
guzzball
Pics or it didn't happen.
MildlyInterested
Uhm no, that's why no one is making this post - in fact this page doesnt exist it's all a strange dreeEAAeeEaeAeemMmmm..:hH::Hh.h.:H.
jdavis1186
No, you aren't. That's why this guy edited them out (the ones labeled 2 are the actual screenshots)
SpoonOfDoom
That's why they're improved. The images with "2" are the original screenshots from the trailer.
funkmaster40
"Improve".
Chukapi
Sometimes (by which I mean just now) I wonder if Michael Bay has ever actually seen a turtle.
YellowSnowman
They look cool, I think. Nothing like what I remember from my childhood, and this movie will never compare to the original - but still cool.
GodIsDeadLongLiveDog
waffelsmaker
[Frozen reference]
HiddenSanity
"1" is the editted version.
SpoonOfDoom
Which is properly insane. That said, they look much less creepy without the nose.
Silvarus
Labeling them "original" and "edit/re-edit" would have made too much sense it.
Silvarus
*it seems. (god dammit)
SpoonOfDoom
Or at least having the original be first and put the edit after that. He/she fucked all the rules.
funkmaster40
Ahhh, then I meant to say "Improved!"
MrWigglemunch
The guy/girl can't label for shit
HiddenSanity
Agreed, I only knew because I saw the teaser.

CaptainColder
It's like bat nipples or tranformer scrotums all over again.
cthulhlu
Such a tiny detail but it makes such a massive change to the quality of the characters..
PoppinLochNessHopster
The new ones look better, a bipedal mutated giant turtle should be scary as shit, not friendly looking.
gunslingerfry
Big detail.
Meradactyle
also Michelangelo took his mask off. They don't take their masks off. Also- why Megan Fox? Can Michael Bay not find any other actresses?
Giordino
Above picture and your post are the best reasons to NOT watch this movie. Why do they even allow him to destroy the TMNT franchise !
Meradactyle
I. Don't. Know!
JustSayingYouHaventSeenMeAndBatmanInTheSameRoomBefore
Michael Bay is an asshole, intent on ruining every one of my childhood memories. That's why.
Meradactyle
Yes!
tylerthecuhreature
Nobody else is desperate enough to keep getting naked for him. Except Shia Lebouf.
impostersquall
She prob sleeps with him
Ninjinister
"They don't take their masks off." You don't watch or read a lot of TMNT, obviously.
Meradactyle
No actually I do :D
Ninjinister
No... you would know it happens at least a dozen times in every incarnation except 2012 if you did.
Meradactyle
hahaha okay
Guanjyn
Yeah, otherwise people might realise their TRUE identities
Meradactyle
...they don't take their masks off in the cartoons or comics.
silentheero
She just left the production- http://www.teenagemutantninjaturtles.com/blog/megan-fox-withdraws-tmnt-movie/

Meradactyle
Ugh I wish!
r0b0tc0rpse
she was so much prettier before all the surgery...
Meradactyle
She was! Now she kind of stares with her mouth slightly open. Maybe it's the botox?
actuallyyours11
Apparently not...even though she called him a Nazi or whatever. This is really disappointing.
Meradactyle
She's one of those actresses that I think to myself 'How does she have a career?' Alas, she's attractive.
actuallyyours11
She is...but I saw the TMNT trailer last night and raged for like 15 minutes. It is ruining my childhood.
Meradactyle
Oh me too! It's hard. ESPECIALLY the noses! Oh god ugh it's like they didn't even try!
RonSwansonson
noo! theyre not supposed to have noses!
mitchrz
It's sci-fi to begin with... I don't see why Bay has to ruin the classic look of TMNT, makes me think he's not even a fan.
jdavis1186
The version with noses is, unfortunately, the actual screenshot

Or lips, for that matter. Turtles are beaked!

The lips just creep me the heck right out.
douevenlurkbro
*mutant
OobedoobScoobyDoobyBenubi
but turtles have nostrils
SpoonOfDoom
When we entered mutant turtle area, we've already said goodbye to realism. Might as well get rid of the nostrils and make them less creepy.
RonSwansonson
but thats what makes them ninjas!
OhNoMyCabbages
Yup, his comment checks out

But not mutant turtles!

I don't know if it's nostalgia, but I don't like these noses.
[deleted]
[deleted]
imgursresidentasshole
According to reddit, it is backwards. 1 is the fix, and 2 is the original
GothmogLordofBalrogs
the 1 picture is the improvment. The higher numbers are what they look like in the movie.
Cobaltios
it probably is nostalgia.
Kabibble
Uh agree to disagree
azazyel
the first one is the improved one right?
SpoonOfDoom
Correct. I don't know what drugs were involved in picking that order, but yes.
azazyel
Ok cool, they did a after/before thing. I was kind of confused.
SpoonOfDoom
Me too, had to take a look at the trailer again to make sure. Then I realised we're gonna have a movie with fucking creepy Turtles.
jdavis1186
For all confused: The images labeled as "2" are the actual trailer screenshots! The others are the edits!
SovietChewbacca
no no no they cant be 1 is real and 2 is just messing with us. Right? RIGHT?? RIGHT???
ionlyspeakthetruth
Ewwwwwwww
defestriano
Ow, thanks! At first I was like "but, why changing 1 into 2 ? 1 was waaaay better"
gunslingerfry
They should rename this movie to, "Michael Bay shits on your childhood. Again."
InfiniteSynapse
They shouldn't really fix what isn't broken.

So I guess I am going to commit suicide and say I actually like the Bay version better. Just don't feel the original concept fits on film.
spikemonkey
I was wondering why someone had set out to make them worse. Now I'm just wondering what Michael Bay has done, stuff of nightmares.
IHaveAPhrasalUserNameLikeThisOneCauseTheyAlwaysGetTheTopComment
So 1 is what's gonna be in the movie or I don't know what? Cause I really don't like the human-like faces in 2.
jdavis1186
2 is what's going to be in the movie, unfortunately. 1 is just photoshop wish fulfillment of what could/should be in the movie
SisterSinister
Or do. I'm not a cop.
FatElvisWasBest
I realized that I am a super nerd bc I am just fine with any ninja turtle. It's a ninja turtle. I mean look at Leo. Dudes a fkin Samurai.
Valladin
I grew up with ninja turtles, had all the live action movies on VHS, had the series on VHS. And honestly I'm not bothered by how they look.
StThunderdome
thank you!

MrWigglemunch
Someone tweet this to michael bay
FatElvisWasBest
Oh if he internets at all, I'm pretty sure he knows....Wait. Rephrase: If he's alive, he knows. The world hates these turtles already. Smdh
SpoonOfDoom
*Someone print this on a plate of steel and hit Michael Bay with it repeatedly
AcclaimNation
So he can see it and then change nothing because it would cost millions of dollars and months of work.
MrWigglemunch
We all know he's not going to change it, it's just to show him how horrible his designs are
AcclaimNation
You do know that he doesn't design it right? Producers have no say on design. He didn't direct this, just produced.
MrWigglemunch
I know he didn't design them himself, I just thought he had to approve them
Pintobeans
I call dibs!
SpoonOfDoom
It's really confusing. And sad :( Also, someone should show this to Michael Bay, maybe he'll have mercy and change them.
SnoopDoggAttending
Leonardo doesnt look too bad.
wellthisisaname
TOO LATE, MOTHER FUCKER! THERE IS NO STOPPING THIS TRAIN!
TellusEidolon
AcclaimNation
Yeah... we are just going to go ahead and re-render every frame that the turtles are in after rigging and lighting the new faces...
SpoonOfDoom
BTW, I know it can't happen. I just find it amusing that the real ones look so bad that most people mistake them for the edited ones (1/2)
SpoonOfDoom
and complains about how creepy they look, while some random photoshopper makes them look so much better. (2/2)
AcclaimNation
Honestly, they both look pretty bad to me. The shopped ones look derpy.
SpoonOfDoom
I'm fine with waiting a couple of years, and I suggest Bay pays for it out of his own pocket.
onorly
Lol. I like you. You're entertaining.
SpoonOfDoom
Only sometimes, and only by accident. But I like you too.
onorly
Ooh. Sounds like the start of a sex thread.
SpoonOfDoom
Then it will be clumsy, slightly awkard, and over far too quickly.
