Your own words though come back to the whole point of the issue: appeal to a wider audience. People are not up and up on these comics and not everyone is going to honestly take in the same amount of disbelief of fantasy and it is those same people who are probably majority NOT big Turtles fans that make the box office up.
I don't have a problem accepting this material because I do love these kind of movies, however, in the fact this connects to the first Turtle films which were set in a very REAL type design, I do have conflictions there. Fans do have a right to complain and expect similarities but anyone who knows anything about comic book fans is they abuse it.
They abuse the privledge by letting every little minor detail about their comic character let them supposedly ruin the movie completely. Fans can be viciously cruel and become so anal-nit picky about details ranging from small to large that it makes me wonder why they even go to see any movies of any kind anymore.
Comparisons are bound to happen by I think it's wrong to be bound BY them. I think people today are way too harsh of connecting to the comics 100% and I think alot of people have too high set expectations. Some are justified, others are not. I don't see any problem with changing Bullseye's outfit in "Daredevil".
I actually like this image better and I loved Colin Ferrell's performance of him. I do dislike how Dr. Octopus was made into a sympathy villain when he never really was, but, I can see how it can work for the tone of the movie. I'll be honest, I've loved every Joker incarnation I've seen, every single one.
Nicholson i will always hold as high regards because he excelled in things differently then Hamill's. It's just like how I feel about the whole "The Batman" transfer. Yes, I loved Clayface from the old Batman: AS, but the new Clayface did some things better then the old one based on how he was designed.
The most important rule I have ever followed in movies with comics or whatever is to take the movie as a whole new expierence, not to expect to see this or that from the comics. Dwelling and dreading on what they did "wrong" or "right" becomes an endless battle of complaining and they end up completely ignoring the movie as a whole.
You can't please everybody and I think alot of comic book fans (no one in particular) need to accept that and maybe should start enjoying the movie instead of constantly focusing on what's wrong with it.
