    Like, it’s a dogshit movie, marginally even MOTU, yet our childhoods were better for it having happened. Also just looks badass.

      Why don’t they make posters like this anymore? Sure, the “floating heads” are trite now, but the a e s t h e t i c? Bring it back for a movie like this!

        Lowest possible effort to maximize profit. MOTU isn’t a consistently viable IP that can relaunch every 10-12yrs for the next gen of youth like TMNT or Transformers. They’re banking on nostalgia but instead of embracing what they have going for them they do the bare minimum to advertise. It’s odd too because 80s/90s nostalgia is hot right now, MOTU is iconic 80s, and no matter what you do it’s still a story of tiger riding beefcake in a loincloth battling a skeleton wizard. The coke in Hollywood just ain’t what it used to be.
