The original script where Splinter and the Turtles are aliens? Where Shredder is some kind of spiky monster? Where Casey is a night guard of a warehouse? Where April is some intern? Where Krang is some monster that murdered the Turtles real father? Where the plot is about collecting some mystic set of orbs? Where it all ends with Mike hanging out with some turtle chick? And where Bebop and Rocksteady are the only things not entirely overhauled (even though they're just about the only characters that would desperately require a massive overhaul)?

Yeah, no. That movie would have been awful adaptation of TMNT and a painfully generic action movie at best. It essentially sounds like Alex Kurtzman watched the Fred Wolf cartoon, realised what David Wise was doing and decided the best way to pay tribute to him by sloppily rewriting a Stargate script to feature TMNT characters.

And sorry if I bring it too much, but why the fock are Bebop and Rocksteady considered so damn sacred?! Seriously I don't get it. They are horrible characters in the Fred Wolf cartoon, Steve Murphy obviously didn't like writing them and they weren't really in any movies or TV shows outside of the Fred Wolf cartoon until Viacom bought the franchise. So why the actual hell does Viacom think they matter enough to rush out as quickly as possible and to not drastically reimagine?
