As much as I dislike the Transformers films, it's hard to believe that Michael Bay intends to radically change the premise of the Teenage MUTANT Ninja Turtles.

I'm not opposed to the mutagen/ooze being "alien" in nature. And I'm also not opposed to Krang (or a similar alien species) being directly or indirectly responsible for "creating" the turtles and Splinter and thereby giving them "alien" origins.

If Splinter and the turtles do end up being aliens from outer space, then I'll definitely disagree with the change in origins, but as long as their characters remain somewhat true to their comic book and cartoon counterparts, then their origins shouldn't impact the movie too much. If Batman was from Metropolis instead of Gotham City, it would be an odd and unncessary change, but it would still be Batman.

It will be interesting to see just how different the background ends up being for the new cartoon series and the movie. I would have thought that they would be somewhat similar to avoid confusing children, but I guess the original live-action movie changed Splinter's origins and the kids (including my own confused self) still enjoyed the film.
