Mr. Bay has decided to change the backstory a little.
QUOTE
“When you see this movie, kids are going to believe, one day, that these turtles actually do exist when [we] are done with this movie," Bay said about his upcoming series reboot during a presentation at the Nickelodon upfronts. "These turtles are from an alien race and they are going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely lovable."
"Fans need to take a breath, and chill. They have not read the script," he wrote. "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."

What... the... f*ck.
f*ck you, Bay. Relax? You've already revealed that you f*cked up. First of all, there's already a race of anthropomorphic animals from another planet...
Relax? f*cking condescending asshole. Building a richer world? Just like Transformers?
I usually say, I don't give a f*ck, but this is taking it too far. The origin story of the Turtles is one of the best parts of the whole thing. A rat that learns ninjutsu, and then teaches it to turtles. The where and why they become big is always okay for change, but making them aliens instead of turtles for the sake of believing they "really exist" is retarded, and f*cks up the part about tiny animals being able to learn martial arts.
And this is coming from someone who enjoys the Star Wars prequels.
f*cking money grubbing nostalgia vampire.

I've prayed to every god going for them to strike Michael Bay down before he can get his hands on the Turtles. Now we'll see if your gods really give a sh*t about us.
Mr Bay perhaps you ought to consider the title. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. They're not aliens, they're mutants. Teenage Alien Ninja Turtles sounds crap.

I don't know what's more hilarious. The fact that Michael Bay is making a Ninja Turtles reboot movie, or that the fans are furious about it. You don't actually have to watch it, you know? I know I won't. f*ck Michale Bay and Ninja Turtles. The only time they were fun was when they looked like this
I actually remember the ORIGINAL comic books by E & L. and they made the TMNT cartoon (which most people think is the "original") look like children's-gay-time-happy-hour.
and Bay talks about how the new turtles are going to be "...tough, edgy, funny and completely lovable."
you know what's code for? they're going to try and make them COOL in the eyes of kids today.
which means one of the turtles will inevitably have to speak with an urban-hip-hop voice using all sorts of stupid Ebonics and "street" slang like a wanna-be gang banger. ugh, my head hurts just thinking about it.

To be fair, though, they made Michaelanglo sound like spicoli in the cartoon and movies, which was an attempt to capitalize on what was "cool" at the time.

You know what was actually super rad? The two newer cartoon series. Very fun, very Turtley. And then they did the TV film "Turtles Forever" which was so cool I nearly died.
I met Kevin Eastman at ComicCon last year, and as he was drawing a f*cking picture of Raphael for me, he was talking about new and exciting Turtles projects. Very cryptically. But what stood out at me was the fact that the guy is, like, oldschool awesome. He's the Editor of Heavy Metal these days. He drips testosterone. He writes comics where the turtles kill sh*tloads of bad guys. With machine guns.
The turtles have been reimagined like a billionty times. Even in the comics. So I'm actually looking forward to any take on the story. Not sure why it's got to be aliens, but hey - I'm still down.

I am still waiting for Bad Boys 3 from Michael Bay.
GTFO or STFU.
All I can think of is the awesome theme tune from the old cartoons, loved this cartoon as a kid.
Not bothered if they try to cash in on another re-boot, would be awesome to see it done right though, and not just some lame Michael Bay bullsh*t, were it appeals to the idiotic mainstream masses!
