Siead and
Gift_in_Edge Errr...yeah, those noses are still reading a little too human to me. I've seen plenty of snapping turtles, and I'm not seeing it.
As for the TMNT...the movie is supposedly kicking around the idea of them being aliens (I have NO FREAKING IDEA, but it's a persistent, still as-of-yet-to-be-proved-or-disproved rumour that leaked), and with Michael Bay attached to the movie you can bet your buttons it's going to deviate as much as is humanly possible from the storylines people know and love and stretching it to the limit of being able to have "TMNT" as the title. (In fact, they had dropped the "mutant" part for awhile because of the alien thing, not sure if they decided to cut that and downplay it...) I don't get the different look either because...alien or turtle mutant, aren't they all supposed to be the same species? *Sigh* I'm not expecting anything, and I'm not looking for Oscar winning performances here, but I want to be able to enjoy my popcorn flicks and be able to pretend SOME coherent thought is put into the direction of the movie.
Shredder also looks like Megatron.
GIE- If you're asking about the original turtles species from the comic/show...not sure what species of turtle specifically they are, but they look an awful lot like the turtles that live in the pond down the road.
Tiny, cute little things. <3
