One of the commentators, one Benjamin Kubilus, praises the 1990 design for giving them beaks. I didn't find them frightening, but given that one of the theories behind "uncanny valley" is that it's an evolutionary mechanism, I really can't fault her for something that's likely hard-wired into her brain. Although she doesn't explicitly use the phrase, the thing that comes to mind is "uncanny valley." They're close to human in appearance, but so close that it's revolting, not endearing. She thinks the Turtles are scary-looking. Although she does make some good points, I disagree with others. In particular, she states that the 1990 film is in many ways superior. Earlier this morning, I found a n article on Facebook in which Buzzfeed movie critic Alison Willmore takes the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to task.
