I mean, I'm not expecting amazing storytelling from TMNT. I'm expecting mutant animal/human hybrids and ninjas doing stuff and a guy wearing a bunch of silverwear and maybe some alien shit.

IDK, I can't really get worked up about something that was basically a glorified toy commercial forever not sticking to canon. It'll either work or it won't. Depends on a bunch of things, not on if a couple of the characters can lay eggs or not.

Though if the lady turtles have turtle boobs then we can start worrying.
Tbf, it was a parody satirizing Daredevil's "grittiness" in the early/mid 80s before it became a semi-serious book before it became a toy commercial.

Oh Georgie boy, it sounds like you might’ve become a victim of your own success. In any case at least it’ll eventually probably be good.

I'm not counting Aquaman out just yet. Sometimes you can't trust test screenings for crap. I'll still keep it in mind. Thank you for the news. I'm honestly been done with WB Discovery. I wish the best with James Gunn, but it's the system I don't trust within the company. I still haven't forgotten about those jackasses firing anybody behind the scenes or in power that are people of color or women.

Let’s just say I’m really, really not getting my hopes up for how they handle MK12. Worse case I’ll be waiting it out until the Komplete edition at a steep Steam sale.

The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have been around for decades, and through all the various interpretations, April O’Neil and Casey Jones have been their first (if not only) human allies. Between the two of them, it’s April who tends to get the spotlight the most, and Casey tends to show up later in the story. But Paramount was apparently at one point considering giving the hockey mask-wearing vigilante his own space via a solo film.
Jason Eisener, director of Hobo With a Shotgun and the recently released
Kids vs. Aliens, revealed as such via Twitter on Friday. He claimed that back in 2018, he pitched a standalone film to Paramount focused on Casey. That movie would’ve featured Shredder’s daughter Karai and eventually Raphael, who Eisener said would’ve taken visual inspiration from the 1990 film. What’s more, the director released a tone reel for the hypothetical film, set to “I” by Dio and featuring footage from The Raid 2, Stranger Things, Goon, and the original TMNT movie.

In before the social media shitstorm saying Jennifer Aniston is a homophobe lol.

“She played with us ‘cause she wanted to bond with us,” Aniston said, before going on to refer to Cox’s obsession with the finer details.

“You really wanna hope that you don’t have any kind of, like, a stain or a spot on a wall or that a pillow is out of place or that a hair or something that needs to be plucked,” Aniston joked.

“So, I’m just saying, thank God this (Hollywood) star is straight.”

I’d be willing to bet they mean straight as in a straight shooter or a straight arrow. You know, honest and moral and the like.

Is somewhat jarring watching old tv and movies where people use being straight to refer to being law-abiding, because unless you know the slang has changed if tends to alter the meaning of the dialogue just a bit.

No, it was because apparently Cox is a stickler for details, and Aniston was joking that she’d notice if the star was crooked or something.
