did you watch them? If any of y'all have been reading Eastman's own comic book run that's been going since 2011, you'd see that these new movies seem to draw from those comics.

Not to mention Out Of The Shadow's introduction of Rocksteady & Bebop into a film adaptation, which is what I know I wanted to see when Secret Of The Ooze was released but we instead got Tokka and Rahzar.

Comics haven't been good in a long time. Yes I saw the films. They were seriously wretched. I could get past the Teenage Mutant Ninja Shreks if the film had any decent effects or acting or writing and the the Foot were ninjas and not commandos..or if Shredder in the first film was not Megatron...or if the backstory wasn't so stupid with April..or if April was played buy someone who can act. Yeah they put those characters in from the cartoon in but didn't do anything with them. Venom in Spider-Man 3 offered more on screen as a fan service than the new film and that hurts to say..a lot.

But The X-Files mythology definitely got away from the writers.

I thought you had said you didn't read comics? Anyway, I disagree. The current IDW run by Kevin Eastman has been going strong for six years now. The TMNT Universe spin-off is ten issues deep and also excellent.

At any rate, I realize that me liking the new movies is actually the unpopular opinion here. I'm sure most would agree with you on those films.

For the most part I don't. On and off read some TMNT ones tho.

There are so many movies and shows that almost everyone's tastes are catered to.

There are a lot of superhero shows, but I enjoy (some of) them.

I'm with Segata on Star Wars... they're okay, sometimes good, but I don't have a strong attachment to the universe. Give me Star Trek: TNG or the original series any day.

As for Logan, it definitely isn't your usual superhero movie. I thought they could have dialed back the violence and language just a smidge, but I think it's worth watching. Don't think of it as being part of the X-Men set.

I thought the violence felt very natural in relation to the character and story they were telling.
