Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

[Muhd Terawis]

Did Mr. Bay just said "the Turtles are from an Alien Race"?

[Mr Majestic]

What The F@#k!

No you can't make them alien! they're Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles... Mutant being the operative word!

I googled the hottest red head's in TV/Movies and this is the result:

Julianne Moore (too old)

Emma Stone (possible!)

Isla Fisher (very possible!)

Dude i dont care if he does the green mucus thing or the theory he explained as long as the characters are the way they should be i'm fine with it.
I'm not nitpicking over something like that..

Sorry dude, but that's not the case here. TMNT is always and forever will be Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and not Teenage Alien Ninja Turtles to the fans. One of the reasons why Mr. Bay's Transformers got the attention from fans is that he kept the Original Concept of "Race of Alien Robots from a doomed planet waging war on earth while disguised as vehicles, hiding in plain sight". Just think for a moment what would have happened if they changed the concept to "Man-made robots going out of control and waging war with each other"? But the absolute perfect examples are the first G. I. Joe movie and Dragon Balls. You saw what happened to them right?

I trust Bay. I know he listens. I know this because he delivered DOTM magnificently. I have a lot of faith in him. I just hope he stays faithful to the Original Concept of "Mutant" Turtles.

Turtle Power!!!

I just don't know how you can change the TMNT into aliens without altering their characters from the ground up, which is exactly what made them so appealing in the first place. If they can make it work, great, I'm all for it. But the big question is: Where would Master Splinter and Shredder fit into all this if the turtles were from outer space? I suppose they could choose Krang as the villain this time and somehow tie him into the turtles's origin, although that still doesn't leave much of an explanation for Splinter. I hope they don't cut HIM out.

Maybe Michael just misspoke. Who knows.

Maybe the Turtles (and Splinter) get hit with some scientific alien ooze, causing the transformation.

That is the core story you know.

I know, just sayin' maybe that's where Bay is getting the "Alien" part from.

Haha very smart Michael you are awesome! XD :borat

That was also what i was thinking.. and the way this video was released very smart

[Albershide]

I think everybody is jumping to a very quick conclusions. I think there is a misunderstanding. Can someone show me a quote where Michael says that the turtles will be aliens. This is ridiculous. All I've seen was that statement:

Another tidbit he offered up is that the Turtles origin story has been updated, from the decidedly 80s radioactive waste accident to an alien planet.

There are tens of ways to explain a mutation happening on an alien world or just an alien mutation brought to Earth in some way.

And don't forget that we're talking about turtles here. If somebody forgot they are creatures inhabiting Earth. Not aliens. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turtles

I'm sure there will be a clarification in the next few days.

[Albershide]

^ Edit

Now I see the quote in which Michael says that the turtles are from an alien race. If it was not a misunderstanding and considering the huge riot on the web I'm pretty sure that they will drop this idea.

This article might clarify things a little:

I would prefer the Turtles to be of an Earth origin. I highly doubt them being aliens will have the same inner city impact as them being mutants did. Please keep this on Earth.

P.S. I don't care what anyone says. the last film was amazing.

[TIMtationX]

Bay, I love ya. I really do. I really think you did the Transformers franchise right, regardless of what some fans say. The changes you made, particularly the designs, made sense. However, I'm not really sure what to think about this one. It's very early I know, and you probably think I'm just another random fan complaining about something, but it just seems wierd to change such an important part of the story. Are you going to remove the word "Mutant" from the name? Since they're aliens, is there going to be a whole race of turtles?

I'm more than willing to give the movie a chance, because I'm a Turtles fan, and I've been waiting for another live action flick to return to the darker roots of the first movie. Regardless of where they come from, I'm sure you guys will get the characters right, which is most important.

He's online right now creating a thread as of this post...

[Flyingheart]

Michael has reacted just now to the alien thingy awesome! XD :P

[jianozi]

If anyone has a chance to see turtles legends it dealt with alternate universes with the turtles,maybe thats one way hes going to go.

BTW April O Neil was not a full redhead in the cartoon the color was between red and brunette and her skintone was not pale but more brown-ish as if she just came from a vacation.

April was a pale redhead in the 2K3 4Kids toon.

Let's hope it stays "fanboy rage", because this guy could find himself in a lot of trouble because of these comments. Police trouble.
