Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

[Mr. Marshmallow]

The body thing really doesn't pan out for most comic book movies. People are vaporized, things get blown up melted etc, Gul's body was fried and just because they didn't take the time to show a body doesn't mean one didn't come out. Gul is gone because they can't have made him immortal.

Batman Begins is the most realistic form of Batman ever and the reason they didn't delve too deeply into the possibility of his immortality is because it honestly would look and sound stupid considering the movie is so realistic. Even in movies there are rules for how weird things can get.

Speed and flight and all that is nothing compared to something as insanely dramatically altering as time travel, aliens, bringing back from the dead etc. The thing is though you CAN kill the Joker, he's been killed twice in media. The live movie killed him and so did Batman Beyond.

Like I said, comics are one thing, movies are another. Audiences do buy weird things but not everyone wants to see the same weird things mixed in. The first 2 turtle movies only had ONE logic defying concept: the mutants, the 3rd movie brought in time travel and surprise, surprise, it sucked.

My point is that I can buy ANY weird ass concept I see in a movie, BUT, i can't buy ANY weird ass concept in every movie I see. The critics mostly ripped on the absurdity of the story so I doubt that if a sequel is made, they will push the reality factor any farther then they did considering that was one of it's biggest reported criticisms.

I can buy Superman flying into another dimension and seeing him battle Darkseid and Parademons but in a movie, that's another story. Same with X-men, only ONE factor of reality has been tampered: the mutants. That's why we didn't see Apocalypse or Sinister, or Sauron or the Sentinels.

The X-men movies are set up in a way that it has become plausible for people to believe this world is populated by mutants, the mutants are the only reality defying element in X-men. Giant robots and aliens would not work in the X-men movies, not after the tone of the films have been set firmly in reality.

The Phoniex herself was originally an alien, changed to a mutant, Juggernaut's mystical background was ignored and called simply a mutant, why? Because as stupid as it sounds, even movies about talking turtles and people who shoot lasers out of their eyes have rules and boundaries.
