Ninja Turtles 2 — How to Utilize IP | Film Perfection

get out of here Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are the Shadows is a sequel to Michael Bay's salute, the Ninja Turtles reboot that almost no one liked, and, contrary to no Lodge, it's a major improvement, mainly thanks to a better mix of

film

makers, while last time we had writers who clearly weren't fans and had a director who clearly wasn't a fan this time they combined Both Worlds, we have writers who only care about Mega Movie and we have a director who loves the source material and has a lot knowledge of what it is. can do and the result is exactly what any IP adaptation should be: a

film

that uses material from The Source but is also presented in a way that anyone can access it, whether familiar with the social material or not to make it clear through other Shadows.

It's not exactly an Oscar contender either, it's a movie. Mostly little kids you can see in pp's poop comedy. Well, I have a big bang for you, as well as analog jumps. I slipped them cell phones, that's all I know. I have a GPS, oh okay, yeah, you find it with that, as well as in the dialogue super where the characters just say what they think and explain their life story to the people they just met and someday I'll be a detective . He's waiting for the next one. application round Academy I don't care, but specifically in terms of this movie being an adaptation of Ip, which was the biggest problem with the first one, it's so much better, you know, last time they took Turtles and tried to turn it into Dark Knight .

They had all these amazing IB elements, but this time they didn't use them, they do, they make the most of the intellectual property in a way that clearly deserves to be a movie, it's not always what you have to do much more than before, of course. That wasn't enough because things were so bad previously that people came into other Shadows with no pre-existing prejudices against them or didn't come at all, which is a shame since we're only now understanding why this franchise is worthy of its own treatment. Blockbuster and today, although I suppose I could have made another negative video about other aspects here as well, let's focus specifically on the source material aspect and see how it improves, contrast other Shadows with the IP element problems that we learned about.

Watch the first movie and see how he handles them, not only to be fair, but to learn in practice exactly how you should handle the elements of the franchise to get the most out of them. Here are some key ways to use intellectual property successfully. It was perfect, but there are no users. I had to exploit it you and your pride in your ego you just had to be the man if you had done your job you knew your place we would all be fine right now the foreigners are introduced in a meaningful way into the context of the film so that the audience can take them as significant ones, for example, we opened with exactly the same idea as last time, the identity of the

turtles

and their relationship with New York City, but worse last time, this was simply explained with a boring voiceover.

Exposition dump, but this When shown in practice, the

turtles

parkour around New York City in a very fun way until they get to this New York basketball team game and as we watch them get involved In it, we begin to notice that they are not actually in the game. but rather on the side, guys, is there anything better than this? Yes, brother, I want to be there. If you put your ugly self down there, you'd have people running for their lives. Hey, we have the best seats in the house, right? here, what is the defining identity of the turtles, they are so into the culture of New York and its people and they want so much to be a part of it and yet they can't because of who they are and because here that idea is introduced into action . like it matters, it really does seem to matter, we understand the crux of the turtles and we care much more than if you just said that there are turtles and that they want to be part of New York, as if that element alone is enough and you take to the streets , you're going to be held accountable, another example is April O'Neil who also picks on Sheamus last time with the idea of ​​her being a nosy investigative reporter and worse yet, last time all she did was break up in the wrong place at the wrong time to do nothing and then end up in the wrong place at the wrong time to do nothing here is much more than her following her clues on this sign this Baxter Stockman working for Shredder is using his sass and his investigative work to Obtain proof that he is submerging the turtles above Shredder's Escape Plan.

You know she's breaking the story as an investigative reporter. I'm not saying April's introduction couldn't be better. Most of her work as a reporter still exists in her words. I had a chance to read a couple of Baxter's emails and I was right, she was still demoted to Shameless eye candy, but at least now her introductory actions as a reporter have meaning, at least now we can see her as more than just a pretty face with a pretty face, that's good. and in her own way, multiple elements of the IB are created as if they were worth something.

Not only do the Foot Clan show up to get their asses kicked twice in a row, they show up to kick asses, they blow up a police convoy they at least put up. some resistance to the turtles they use crazy GTA tactics to free their boss from his chains they seem like a force we can take as a threat Bebop and Rocksteady's transformation into their animal forms that doesn't just happen when it happens April is there see it from a hideout, which gives you something to fear and allows us to seriously zoom out, much more effective than the villain, who turns out to be the villain only in an isolated scene.

Casey Jones' Alder's vigilant ego, the same thing that appears. defending April against a group of food soldiers that we just built up as a formidable bow not long ago, it's not the item itself that was meant to be significant, but rather what is immediately used for the other Ali, nothing what to do with that. The point here is that your audience can only take your IP as meaningful when you present it as such, because if you don't, you'll get flops like Krang, who appear just to give exposition. Years ago, I launched the arc capacitor into the Earth dimension, but to me your atmosphere was divided into three presentations so useless and meaningless that the audience will forget it the moment it leaves the screen.

You know it's much easier to feel the value of a villain when the introduction of him is surrounded by the police than when it's him. by simply beating up one of his useless minions, intellectual property has no value in your movie on its own, it has value only when you immediately establish that value in the context of the movie, that's a different kind of example to drive this home, let's say there's a piece of film Ip let's say there's a blue bow, some of you have heard of it before, if I just pull out this blue band and say it's a blue bow, that alone doesn't mean anything, there's still nothing there for you to give, but I do take it out. this blue button and it immediately displays its defining elements that by pressing it you can change your internet location to anywhere in the world, that you can access all geolar content from anywhere and view everything without restrictions, that you can protect yourself from praying eyes of governments. and hackers blinding them to what you do online oh I can't believe you can get the cheapest deals online no matter where you live when you see that, now you see why this blue button is significant, now you want it and now you can.

Take it because it's called Surfshark, the number one VPN IP. Now you know why you need it and right now you can get it at a discount of 85 with three months free using the movie Code with the link below. Check it abroad. Intellectual property elements are used to create special scenes and plot beats that could only exist in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie. Take the main thematic narrative about the turtles for example, like I said, the gist of it is that the turtles want to be part of New York but they can't. because they are turtles they think they wouldn't be accepted Mikey they will never fit in we are

ninja

s we live in the shadows we go everything changes when they realize this purple mutation that can make them human and therefore allow them to be part of humanity that is the answer to those struggles, the sunrise, that's what fractures the relationship and creates conflict or Turtles, that's what the movie is about above all, what those things are, they're monsters, we're not monsters, while the idea of ​​changing you yourself to fit in is general enough that anyone can identify themselves in this way.

It is not generic in this way. You won't find it in many other places. You will understand what I mean. Let's look at individual scenes last time. the scenes weren't really unique or special the turtles could have also been batman the food clan was basically soldiers with guns the other villain was a rich guy with a gun the whole plot about bad guys using a chemical mutagen to poisoning the masses of New York will have I have been very familiar with all of this in every other Hollywood Blockbuster, while here this is the one that affects us the most due to the fact that it is about the Ninja Turtles in the Convoy scene, the Food clan acts as a

ninja

clan with modern equipment, the turtles drive a turtle. truck to contribute manhole covers in Casey Jones' first vigilante scene, he's fighting the Foot Clan with parks and a hockey stick Jesus Christ, that's Jason Bourne oh wait, no, nevermind, in the scenes that revolve Around the plot we are trying to locate a Teleportation Device that an alien sent to Earth on the human side of the end.

Casey Jones is skating through his life as a mutated rhino and is being chased by a wild boar on helicopter bikes. You already know if all this is too silly or even good, that's up to you. but at least it's not universal to all other movies, like before, you can only find these things in the movie of a turtle, a giant garbage truck that heads towards us like it's on a war path and then starts throwing lids of sewer directly from the grill of the truck, how, the basic example of what I'm referring to is the Brazil sequence where the Turtles compete against Bebop and Rocksteady to secure the last piece of the teleportation device.

What you see here is something really special and unique for turtles to fly over. the air to intercept the bad guys play Ed Bebop and Rock City in the tight cargo space in a barrel involving a tank, they automatically lose control of the plane and crash into the river below, they get into a water chase which, by True, it also involves a tank, all of which is so clearly exhilarating that it alone can't justify the price of admission, so the point is that your IP adaptation will be special only when it actually uses what makes the IP. be special, it doesn't always have to be.

Crazy action can be as simple as talking points or emotional beats or solutions to obstacles or even comedy there's a giant rat back there yes we've seen them around here before but it has to be something because if your movie IP consists of scenes and events that they could exist in any other movie, so what's the point of intellectual property? Why do you adapt it in the first place? You know the big ending here is basically a recreation of the Dark of the Moon ending that was copied by everyone else. A blockbuster at the time, but at least it falls completely on the turtles' side.

There is a Technodrome being built above New York City. The turtles jump on flying pieces to get on board. There is a purple alien inside a robot. There's your Casey Jones. Outside of all this, there are all kinds of alien weapons and brotherly teamwork and Rocket skateboards. I don't think this is better than Dark of the Moon's ending, which is still the strongest of the lot, but at least it's special enough to be its own thing much more than before, much more so than if it weren't built with IP elements and could exist in this form in any other MC Mikey movie, the third IB solution here is that the IB elements are mostly handled in a sensible way. way enough that the audience can take them seriously and not just as silly as if they were maybe in a vacuum and I say mainly because with some of the elements that are supposed to be based in reality, like the detective subplot by Casey Jones, it's not like that.

It's not fixed. Casey Jones isn't a real person like he should be, but rather a six-year-old who has the dumbest one-liners, what a great law-breaking dad, and who speaks the dumbest dialogue, and I'm going to be a detective someday and who does the dumbest detective work so that you two idiots have a favorite bar and who, in general, poisons thismovie with nonsense, just like those around them, the footage has been altered, it has been edited, we verified its authenticity, it is clean, what brother, what are you talking about? about the man, well I'm out, the reason it's intriguing is because at first glance that shouldn't be the dump here because like I said this movie is about a purple alien who teleports Shredder to him and She then helps him turn his minions into animals. find the big teleporter hidden on Earth so they can bring their war machine to conquer Earth, that should be kind of silly here since we were a team, but the reason it isn't is because it makes the most tonal sense. important to give context.

From what I'm trying to say, the reason the first movie was dumb was because it took these surreal IP elements and tried to ground them in the reality of the Dark Knight in a way that just didn't match up with what it was supposed to be. April was human and yet her actions weren't Watchers, they were these Turtles, they were my childhood pets. The bad guy had a very complex criminal plan to poison New York and sell the Cure and yet his motivation was so cartoonishly simple to become what he already is and I'm Gonna Be Rich Like Stupid Rich Why What Do You Mean with why the origin of the turtle was based on real scientific engineering and yet the long time continued for less realistic it sounded oh they were test subjects in a laboratory oh they were rescued in April oh the rat grew in size intelligence and then took care of the turtles and then saw how the city would probably hate them for being Turtles and therefore told them to be ninjas so they could take care of themselves and go up.

The reason the dumb stuff here isn't dumb is because it's made consistent throughout the movie. Yes, turtles can withstand crazy injuries, but they are giant turtles. you're going to say they wouldn't actually resist them, yes the alien ooze is tracked with a bunch of garlic computers that identified the isotopic signature of the purple ooze, but it's an alien ooze that turns humans into animals and animals into humans , the follow-up isn't really a logical leap, yes, a grown man is using makeshift hockey equipment to fight giant animals on motorcycles, but they're giant animals on motorcycles. I'm sure other grown men in that same situation would approve that yes, the purple alien is attacking Earth for no apparent motivation. whatever, but he's a purple alien who looks like a bubblegum and makes jokes in english, he's what he's not, he couldn't have been more, not that crancoon was a better character, but as he is now, he's not out of the question put in stupid reptiles to be clear, what I don't mean is to excuse the stupidity by saying well it's a movie where you turn off your brain, that's not a valid reason and it's not the case here, the purple ooze itself can not be realistic, but the thematic message of the turtles seeing it as their way of fitting in is very emotionally real.

The purple alien itself may not be realistic, but the Turtle brothers put aside their differences and band together as Turtles to defeat it. It's very real emotionally. turn off your brain so you don't turn off your emotional responses, so the point is that even if your intellectual property ailments are silly in a vacuum, they can still work in a movie as long as they're totally consistent, but if you take those elements and try to mix them without a harsh reality of the Dark Knight suddenly they don't work now they simply become irrational and stupid it's all a matter of context about relativity a one-eyed man can see less among us but in the land of the blind he is the king, a device of Sudden teleportation may not make sense in a movie about scientific engineering, but in a movie it was created by a purple alien that looks like pizza gum, it fits perfectly irrational is irrational only in a rational world and since we now live in a world where this franchise was canceled right where it started to show what deserves to exist irrational is pretty much what it is everywhere
