The 4 heroes of “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” are all totally different personalities, and the AI trailer retains this in thoughts by imagining radically totally different middle-aged fates for all of them. Leonardo is devoted to his streak as a accountable chief in a center administration job that he clearly hates however continues to endure for the sake of his household. Michelangelo has continued his impulsiveness by spending his days on the bar after a nasty divorce — probably from April O’Neil, with whom he’s unhappily married within the “Saturday Evening Dwell” skit.
In the meantime, the opposite two turtles function from far stranger walks of life. Ever the inventor, Donatello has struck gold with an appropriately violent and pizza-themed infomercial product and resides a lifetime of leisure. The new-headed Raphael, however, has apparently turn into a far-right activist who’s returned to the sewers to flee the implications of his function within the January 6, 2021, Capitol assault.
Regardless of their wildly totally different lives, the turtles appear to fall proper again into their previous chemistry once they meet at Splinter’s funeral. Nonetheless, it is clear that every of them — nicely, Donatello however — has gone by means of an entire heap of hassle. As such, the trailer may promote the non-existent movie as a comedy, however the underlying sense of loss makes this imaginary model of “Center-Aged Mutant Ninja Turtles” a wierd halfway level between the turtles’ goofy teenage antics and “The Final Ronin,” TMNT’s darkest story.
