I sure hope so. Because this idea is just...strange. I have nothing against the origin being updated, but still...why would he say they are aliens when they have always been mutants? Is he messing with us or something?

The irony is palpable.

It's threads like this that remind me why I never come on here.

Makes me wonder if Viacom will release an official statement or a short synopsis of the movie in a few days.

highly unlikely since Bay isn't directing nor writing the script. If, IF there is some ground to the alien race thing it would be the doings of someone else.

They can't honestly do any worse with the characters than Mirage themselves have at times. April and Rat King, anyone?

You're not wrong at all here, but that's apples to oranges man. A couple issues of Tales or Volume 4 can be brushed off, a theatrical release is a BFD.

That being said, I'm not jumping to any conclusions until we get trailers or a couple of interviews with ACTUAL MEMBERS OF THE CREATIVE TEAM AND NOT AN EXECUTIVE PRODUCER. Even then, best to wait and see the whole film before judging.

I've given up on trying to get this through their thick skulls. I guess it's just cool to hate on Bay for whatever reason you can find though.

A pretty nominal one... improving in some areas while introducing all-new bad elements.

You're cool with me, dawg.

I'm pretty sure it's Bay's fault That Rob Zombie had Mike Myers have a voice in Halloween 2, everything is Bay's fault.... yup

I know the sentiment. That's why I'm mostly a lurker. It was actually not too bad for awhile and I started posting more. However, "They're from an alien race," sort of ruined all of that.

I don't feel like reading through this thread, since I think the fan outrage is just a bit premature.

But, in case this hasn't been posted here yet, Yahoo! News feed has finally picked this up and packaged it for the non-ign reading crowd:

Glanced at it and it's still pretty much a ton of people just yelling about Bay. I am beginning to think he could have said pretty much anything and people would have been yelling at him.

Michael Bay posted this on his forum.

Fans need to take a breath, and chill. They have not read the script. Our team is working closely with one of the original creators of Ninja Turtles to help expand and give a more complex back story. Relax, we are including everything that made you become fans in the first place. We are just building a richer world.

So they are working with, I guess Eastman so it can't be that bad right?

How dare you use Earth logic! Your logic is hard to refute, so I yield. Bring on the space aliens. And we already have multiple petitions? Interweb works fast. Rarely do they work, but, hey, go for it.

As for Bay, I'm fine with his efforts, as long as he didn't do what he did with "The Island." (Basically copied "Parts: The clonus horror." And if it wasn't for MST3K, no one would have known.) Otherwise, I'm fine with him.

After this thread, wonder what the reaction of the next plot leak will be. Heh. Anyway, the real reason for this post, besides the Quoted part above... is to say I like Fearless' plot synopsis. Nice job.

Edit: Didn't know about the Bay posting when I posted. Well, it's one of the two creators. Pick one. Heh.

[Andrew NDB]

That's a bit patronizing. "we are including everything that made you become fans in the first place." How does he have the faintest idea what made me become a fan in the first place? And why is it key to "give a more complex back story"?

And so the damage control from Michael Bay begins. Unless the Utroms or Krang are in this movie and it starts off showing them make the mutagen in space, I wonder what they plan to do.

Well it's gotta be Eastman, seeing how Laird is retired from TMNT.

[ToTheNines]

Wouldn't that be wild if it was actually Peter? Lol

He didn't apologize or negate what he said. That wasn't damage control; that was him telling people like you to shut the f*ck up.
