Fuck you.

Aliens? Really? ALIENS?

Is nothing sacred?

For those of you wondering, aparently this douchebag is going to make the TMNT into "NT" or just "Ninja Turtles" in the new movie he's producing.

“These turtles [in the reboot] are from an alien race, and they’re going to be tough, edgy, funny, and completely lovable.”

Fuck that, man. Don't get me wrong, I'm all about reboots and was more than excited for this movie. But this isn't making the transformers into walking, talking racial stereotypes, it's turning the transformers into cool cars with robot drivers. You've taken away important plot devices and for what? What could this possibly accomplish?

I'm more hurt than anything else. Think as poorly of me as you'd like, but this was a huge part of my childhood, and I'm still a fan, but I can't get behind something so ridiculous.

;_;

My name is Mike, and statistically, yours is not.

Why are you taking my childhood and just stepping all over Micheal Bay. How can you change MUTANT ninja turtles into aliens.


With ninja turtles in mind, the other movie they made used this Subway as a reference. This is a abandoned/not used subway in NY.
EDIT: It was in the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2!

Michael Bay, king of the trolls.

Who else could re-write the origin story of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Michael, dearest Michael

You took away my dignity and my child hood by butchering story lines of Transformers, killing major characters and even changing them when they suited you (Soundwave in T2 is the satelite, however is a Merc in T3). Also you making sure that the good guys are american cars and the bad guys are european...fuck you son. Deceptacons can ALL fly, even if they transform into a fucking gun, they can still fly as this was the origins of the Cybertron war. They can fly completely un-flight moded (that you fucking made up, thanks now my megatron can turn into 9000 fucking different things instead of just the gun..)

Now you plan to further rape my past by touching on the turtles? Aliens? Are you fucking shitting me...Aliens? They are fucking mutants....you can't go around changing ALL the mother fucking rules in a franchise without pissing people off...and you have fucking pissed me off. I guess you have made an excuse for Krang being an alien..well guess fucking what...hes an interdimensional being who's stuck on Earth at our time because his doom machine ran out of fucking batteries! You gonna make that into a mother fucking space ship, and have the turtles fucking fly out there in a huge space fight with explosions. FUCK YOU!

I AM DONE WITH BAYS SHIT

Sincerely
one very upset and angry nerd

So the turtles' mutation is the result of exposure to radioactive contamination, right?
You know, after what happened at Fukushima, anti-nuclear concerns may be the reason why Bay chose to do that. We have to think about the children here: what lessons do we want to teach them?

Michael Bay is the personification of Hollywood.
You can't fight him, he's just like Death.
He'll come and rape childhoods, storylines, characters. Once he is done you are left with explosions. And those aren't the real explosions, no, they are Hollywood fireballs.

Guess what happened in 1986, the year before the TMNT cartoon started? The Chernobyl disaster.

Hey guess what?

NOW YOU ALL KNOW WHAT THE BATTLESTAR REBOOT DID TO FANS OF THE ORIGINAL!!!!!!! rageragerageragerage!!!!

*ahem*

Alien tutles makes about as much sense as human built cylons and Adama without a cape. Just silly. All reboots and remakes should be declared illegal.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly's a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.
