‘TMNT: Mutant Mayhem’ Does This Better Than Most Superhero Movies
The Big Picture Unsurprisingly, the finale of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem focuses on the titular reptiles having to save New York City from a big monster. This is a modern-day superhero film, after all, so the story has to culminate in a battle that’s massive enough in scope to provide lots of spectacle and guarantee every member of the dense ensemble cast has a chance to shine.
'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem' Follows Superhero Movie Tradition The absence of modern-day scenes where superheroes get aid from the people they’re protecting is perplexing given how it was once ubiquitous in these films. Superman II, for instance, had the apparent demise of Superman at the hands of Zod be followed up by Metropolis residents grabbing any objects they can find and approaching the evil Kryptonian.
'Man of Steel' Completely Wiped Out Metropolis The dynamic between everyday citizens and larger-than-life superheroes didn’t vanish from superhero movies overnight. As late as 2012, The Avengers scored some of its most entertaining moments depicting Captain America interacting with New York police officers during an alien invasion. However, the 2013 film Man of Steel would drastically change the way superhero films approached bustling cities.
‘Eternals’ Missed an Opportunity for Sersi To Connect With Humans Simultaneously, superhero movies began to shift their stories to focus more and more on cosmic figures or ultra-powerful Gods. This was a way to ensure that superhero films could keep dealing out increasingly new levels of spectacle, but it also ensured these characters were even further removed from everyday people.
