So I was reading more information on the 2011 Live Action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle Movie and cringing at the words "Re-telling of the origin story" and "Batman Begins style reboot".
Not that a "Batman Begins style" retelling of TMNT wouldn't be freakin' awesome, but because how many more times do I have to go through the origin story?? I can recite the damn thing off by heart and have seen it done in EVERY SINGLE version of TMNT to date, except for Next Mutation, which sucked ass, and the 2007 movie, which was pretty much pretty fight scene in the rain and not much else.
But seriously. ARGH.
Maybe the problem is I've been a hardcore TMNT fan for 18 years. Maybe I'm just getting sick of it, after 200+ comics (in four different volumes, not counting several side series), 4 movies, 2 cartoon shows, several toy lines and so on.
I mean, didn't the Star Wars fans end up getting bitter and jaded after a while? I know Star Trek fans did, and remained bitter and jaded until the 2009 movie kicked their asses. And by Star Trek fans I mean the normal Star Trek fans who all those horrible trekkies jokes didn't apply to, because honestly, who doesn't know who Picard is? Yeah, I thought so.
