TANT?


Goodbye may seem forever
Farewell is like the end
But in my heart's the memory
And there you'll always be

Not to defend him, but there was a time in the comic when the turtles pretended to be aliens. Maybe he's using that as a basis, although I don't know why he would.


'I don't like the look of it at all,' said the King: 'however, it may kiss my hand if it likes.'
'I'd rather not,' the Cat remarked.
'Don't be impertinent,' said the King, 'and don't look at me like that!' He got behind Alice as he spoke.
'A cat may look at a king,' said Alice.

TMNT is not TMNT without the ooze. Can't even consider them as turtles if they are aliens. This is almost as bad as making Wonder Woman a guy, Batman's parents still living, or Superman human.


The first step in being sane is to admit that you are insane.

So to make this work they will have to be aliens that were mutated some how into a type of alien turtle hybrid. And since they are "aliens" I assume they will be on earth.

I don't see this going over well, even for a Michael Bay flick.

Overheard at a Michael Bay Press Conference:

MB - "Listen, I could do this right, and keep the backstory correct, and keep the fanboys happy. Or, for 40 million extra in effects, I could make them ALIENS! How cool is that?! Sure, sure, some nerds will be angry. But when you see how these turtles can fly with their alien wings, I'm sure we'll be bringing in the dough. Also, while martial arts are cool, most kids these days realize that guns are cooler, so we're going to update their weaponry a bit. So they're not so much ninjas as they are Special Ops guys, running around in the sewers! Much cooler, and easier to make explosions with.

Speaking of updating stuff, teenagers today are too emo for me, and I don't think it's good to replicate that on-screen. So these turtles are probably going to act more like late 20s, early 30s, just for a better feel of the characters. Most teenagers are just complaining about their parents. We wanted characters that were edgier, and were ready to take down the man. That meant an older character.

Questions?"


Reporter - "Will Splinter still be in the movie?"


MB - "Yes, Splinter will be in the movie. He will be played by either Megan Fox or Shia Lebeouf. We are still in contract negotiations."


Reporter - "Do you have a main foe in mind?"


MB -"Well, I wanted to make them fight the Decepticons, because that would mean even more explosions, but the studio wouldn't allow that yet. They said we had to have at least one movie about just the turtles first. So, we've got John Tutorro to play Shredder, along with his two racist, comedy-inspiring henchmen. Are they evil? Yes. But they can still crack a joke and do nothing to advance the plot line."


Reporter - "So, they're not mutant, not teenagers, and not ninjas. Are they still turtles?"


MB - "We're still working with the writers on that."

Well, the ooze was from a company run by aliens, does that count?

Next up for Michael Bay? Strawberry Shortcake. His vision? The president has been kidnapped! Only one person can save him: Samantha Sullivan, code name: Strawberry Shortcake.


I find your lack of signature disturbing.

does she team up with Salt?

I didn't have the problems many internet fans did with Transformer. But...how is that even Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

Maybe he watched the canadian version of Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles?

I don't usually get behind the fanboy rage, a lot of times its completely unfounded (Sean Astin as Samwise), sometimes even racist (Idris Elba being cast as Heimdall in Thor). In both of those cases the actors picked weren't just OK, they were amazing and the fanboy rage was completely unfounded.

This however gets a serious WTF from me. Seriously...wtf?

See, and I always thought this: "WTF is this? $1? They make them this small?"

Wait, people complained about those?
Wow...that's like people defending the endings of a certain game that is causing controversy at the moment. Because the endings suck as bad as a Michael Bay film, and everyone knows it...


Speaking of which....oh smeg is this going to be bad. Argh. Just argh.

Well, I don't remember any complaints about Samwise, but I know that some people were befuddled that Heimdall "The White" was being played by a black actor. But I thought he did a very good job at it.
