"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", why is it always me who gets hurt?

Shi Xingqing's

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Age of Mutants" is the most unexpected and most complained about? It's because the tortoise's face value is too low - "long" is too ugly. As a soft-shelled turtle, it seems to be in the past to have nothing to do with handsome, but the shape is so ugly, but it is indeed sorry for the love and imagination of mainland audiences over the years. So far, no matter whether it is an animation or a live-action movie, there are hardly any heroes in Hollywood who are lower in appearance than the Turtles. Compared with the Turtles, Shrek is a handsome guy. The tortoises are made to look like this, I wonder if they will sigh: "Why is it always me who gets hurt?"
Although the tortoises are "long" and not good-looking, they can also be included in "alternative aesthetics", just like we Mr. Huang Bo and classmate Wang Baoqiang, and the alternative aesthetics can also be "invincible", such as Mr. Huang Bo; but the teacher of the turtle, the mouse Sprint, is really terrible, whether it is aesthetics or "judgment of ugliness", Not flattering or even scary. The looks of the Turtles and Sprint are generally acceptable to audiences with nostalgic feelings, but for those new generation audiences who don't have much emotional foundation for the Turtles, it is enough to like this man. Difficult. Not only the shape, but the "cute dada" of the turtles does not have much charm. We must know that our audience has been immersed in the context of pan-entertainment for a long time, and it is not uncommon to see all kinds of funny and cute in TV, Internet and life, so Unless they reach the level of "Breakup Master" and "Heart Flower Road Fang", ordinary funny and cute people really can't move them. In recent years, I don't know whether American filmmakers were frightened by Bozeman's "entertainment to death", or whether Chinese people's talent for funny has been fundamentally developed. Anyway, I feel that Hollywood movies are not as funny as domestic ones. Compared with Deng Chao and Huang Bo's funny and cute, the tortoises are simply weak.
What's weak are the plot and character design. Although it has become a consensus for many Hollywood sci-fi movies to watch special effects without watching the plot, it is rare that the plot and characters are designed so crudely and crudely as "Ninja Turtles: Mutant Age" that does not let the audience lose their minds from beginning to end.
Thirty years since the birth of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the most influential ones are the animations of the 1987 and 2003 editions, the three live-action films in the early 1990s, and the 2007 edition of the 3D animated film "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Return of the Whirlwind". The plot and character design of "The Age of Mutants" basically come from the 1987 version of the animation and the first live-action movie. Except for the female reporter as the absolute protagonist, the plot is basically not innovative, and the old-fashioned look more than ten years ago. And the characters in the play, except for the fox girl Megan Fox, have no three-dimensional sense or personality at all, which is equivalent to placing some "human-shaped symbols" next to the vase. The plot and character design are not only incomparable with "Godzilla", "Transformers 4" and other films, and even compared with the 2007 version of "The Whirlwind", they are also much weaker. As for making the turtles "cute", it seems to be keeping pace with the times and seems to be very fashionable, but in fact, the turtles had this quality as early as the birth of the turtles - the birth of the turtles has a spoof component In it, there is a diaosi turtle from the sewer, who shares the same name with masters such as Da Vinci and Michelangelo.
The reason why "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Age of Mutants" can still win less ugly box office results in the mainland is basically eating the old money and consuming the audience's long-term feelings for the turtles, which "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is far inferior to. "Transformers 4", although the movie "Transformers 4" has been criticized, the image of Transformers is not damaged, and there are still many children who fall in love with Transformers because of this, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and his mouse master are made like this, it is difficult It would be nice to make our new and new humans like it, and the old audiences to not be disappointed. There is no further expansion at all.
I think if there really are Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles living in the sewers in the United States, they will go back and "sell copies" when they see the audience's complaints about their image and compare the audience's love for many years. When one of the main creators kicked into the sewer, he hung up and asked, "Why is it always me who gets hurt?"
