Tmnt 1993 - Tumblr Posts
Ok, so I know it’s a strange opinion and a lot of people are going to disagree with me but I still have to say it. The 3rd live action TMNT movie from 1993 was the best and let me explain. If you took it seriously then it’s a weird movie, but this is a movie franchise about giant talking turtles who know ninjitsu, so how seriously are you actually taking this movie. This is clearly a action comedy, it’s funny. I don’t know about you, but a giant talking turtles with a Brooklyn accent going back in time to give life advice to a young Asian boy is the funniest shit in the world. One of the turtles (Mikey) literally flirts with the said little boy’s sister like he’s Barry Benson from the “Bee Movie” while she’s acting all stoic while longing for her actual boyfriend. The bad guy is a creepy white dude who cares more about his birds than actual human life. His love for his birds is one of the causes of his down fall! That is so fucking weird! That’s why it’s funny!
Imagine being the person to pitch this to a movie executive. “Ok, so why does the turtle have a Brooklyn accent?” ”Because he’s from New York?” ”Then why is he in ancient Japan?” ”Because he and his brothers went back in time to stop a creepy white dude who may or may not really want to fuck his birds.” ”Oh ok, but I think the script their time traveling device is referred to as a ‘egg timer’ so is it small and egg shaped?” ”No, it looks like a large dildo with a lamp on it.” ”Great, here’s some money! This is going ti be the next big thing!”
