The new CGI movies suck, but I loved the cartoon and movies from back in the day. I knew the guy who did the stunts as Donatello and broke his foot.

I never was into TMNT. I guess they didn't really become popular until I was like 11-12 and I think I felt they were too "kiddie" for me. Then they faded away and recently (last 5-10 years) they've made quite the comeback. Like the USMNT, I'm pretty indifferent to them.
If you don't recognize this scene, then your childhood was a fail.
One of the older movies was filmed in wilmington and one of the turtle actors trained at the dojo i attend.
There are several clowns like that in the arts unfortunately. Theres a flaming fuktard named Denny Shaeffer in greenville sc who’s formed his own style, promoted himself to grand master, and has threatened to come to wilmington several times to kick my ass as well as others for speaking against his methods. He wears the sleeveless cobra kai outfits from karate kid to show his muscles, brags of winning bar fights, has had his students dq’d for excessive force in tourneys so many times hes not even invited any more. He even has a body building gf like the guy in the movie.
Yup. I referenced him in my OP. Met him while I was there. His name escapes me but a really nice guy.
I was big into TMNT as a kid. Michelangelo was always my favorite. I saw the first of the new movies, and while I'll agree, the CGI is ridiculous, it wasn't as bad as my very low expectations thought it would be. Parts of it were pretty fun. The dialogue was pretty awful though. At one point, the villain (who was supposed to be Shredder but people got upset there was a white Shredder, so he's not actually Shredder) has a line that says "We're going to completely drain the turtles blood....even if it kills them." One of the worst lines in recent memory.
Good ol' Michael Bay, throwing hot women who can't act in all his movies.They made up for it by doing this
