yea sorry dudes i guess it is misleading, i wasn't thinking at all when i typed it, i guess turtles from another planet would have been a better way at putting it, and i guess it really isn't bays faught too, if this is true, is there any way to change the title, my guess is no |

A comic example would be John Byrne's Chapter One with Spider-Man. He wanted to cut down the amount of atomic explosions which created quite a few Marvel characters. It didn't quite work, but in theory, that's the direction modern storytelling seems to take and increasing so in recent years. |

So accidents are too contrived and unrealistic, but everything in the book being completely interconnected isn't?
I'll never understand modern storytelling logic. (NOTE: this isn't meant to be snarky at you, Moth, but the industry.)

Anyway, TurtleMaster4's point is valid, as we just got the one plot detail and how much we should panic over it. Then again, we got the time to navel gaze now, as opposed to later. Between the new Nicktoon and leaked and actual in-depth movie plot details, we'll be keeping busy. Edit: No offense taken, at all, Jester. The industry has that effect on me, too. I appreciate the addendum, though. Last edited by Killer Moth; 03-17-2012 at 04:43 PM. |

As soon as Michael Bay came into the movie I knew everything would go downhill.

Aliens? Their suppose to be MUTANTS. You know, freaks of nature, product of science gone wrong, outcasts, that sort of stuff. But aliens? Yeah they were created because of an alien product, but they aren't aliens. Doesn't Bay know this? I am still excited, though now I am more uneasy about this film...

Made a page.. eh, like if you want and share your thoughts http://www.facebook.com/BoycottBayturtles
Clarifying a few things: I made this page cause _I_ felt he has no place dealing in a turtles movie. If you feel differently, that's all you and I could care less. But don't come to the page just to start crap with me. I -can- block people from the page. I prefer not to, but if people are gonna be twats about it, I will take advantage of the option.

Wow. It just gets dumber doesn't it?
He's just an executive producer. Calm the f*ck down.

Look another case of "Know what's gonna be said before the thread it opened."
Brodie and Stryker already said their piece, so who would of thunk Cure would get in on the fun? The correct answer is "Everyone."

Say what you will about the three of us posting around the same time about stuff like this,but don't question if I'm a fan of the turtles or not--that Turtle tattoo I have would require much more explaining if I didn't like them.
But this is another case of fans overreacting to what is essentially not news. Bay is a goddamned idiot, no question. Its been said in this thread that Bay was pushed out to talk about Turtles because he's a huge name, especially in relationship to what essentially equates to "toy movies." He's tied to exec producer. Shock and gasps. He was on the other Platinum Dune flicks too. You know what that means he did? SHoveled out money. He knew NOTHING of what was going on with any of those movies. The mother ****er walked out of Friday the 13th, because he stated there was too much sex in the movie. MICHAEL GODDAMNED BAY said this. And he produced it, so clearly he would have knowledge of something like that, right? Being in the script. Then the editing. Etcetera. But he didn't. Because he ****ing does NOTHING with movies he produces. Those movies might not be popular, but he didn't really touch them. So am I worried about Bay being involved with the Turtles? No. Because he's an idiot who makes 3 hour long music videos and says stupid **** constantly. He didn't know anything about the Turtles prior to the film being handled by his production company. So does it surprise me that he thinks they're aliens? No. "Its a toy movie right? Aliens, right?" And the turtles have always had some sort of connection to alien-origin, with the ooze and such. Not really a stretch. |

True, we are blowing one sentence from a guy who may have next to nothing to do with the film way out of the water, but it's a fan site, it's what we do.
I wish Nick/Paramount had done/will do 2 things: 1. Give Bay accurate information so he doesn't sound like a complete idiot when he stands up there and says things like they're from an alien race. or 2. Come out and say Bay was talking out of his sphincter and reassure fans that they wouldn't do something that completely rewrites the origin needlessly.

I find Michael Bay to be a hack. He's not even ironically bad. He's just lousy.

If you can give me a solid reason or justification for everyone being so quick to judge something that they know nothing of, I will secede. Otherwise, go tend to your troll wife. I'm sure being pregnant with your child has taken a toll on her well being, already.

I take him with a grain of salt. Sure he has had movies that are trash, but he's done some good (or at least entertaining) flicks. And besides his role will probably be very VERY minimal... unless Paramount/Viacom wants him to be more hands on since they like the Transformers flicks (I mean...they do make truckloads of cash, despite the quality.)
I'd respond with the classic, "Welcome to the internet!" but that only seems to work as a valid argument in the video game forum...

Just because "It's what 'we' do" doesn't mean it's any less overblown and stupid. Expecting Paramount to come out and apologize for MICHAEL BAY's comments is crazy. It's insane to me that people here demand that these huge companies personally apologize and explain themselves with every step they take. It's not going to happen. How about we just wait until the movie is closer to release and you know, NOT NEARLY TWO YEARS AWAY.
