Michael Bay Directs a Movie based on Your Favorite Childhood Cartoon series...

[Leoforce]

It is going to be bad. Michael Bay is having the TMNT group not as turtles, but as aliens...

Yes, I hear the many a childhood being ruined. Here's Michael Bay responding to the backlash.

Here's one of the many news stories where Bay releases his intent to change the origin story.

Now, I didn't mind his liberties with the Transformers series, sans Shia LeDerp. However, I know for a fact I will not see this movie.

I loved Alfred Jodocus Kwak, a Dutch/Japanese cartoon about a Dutch young man, who is also a duck, who was raised by his adoptive father (who is a mole, obviously) after his parents died in traffic. (Because they were ducks).
The cartoon dealt with issues like politics, racism, environmentalism and charity in a surreal and adventurous way, and was of pretty damn good quality, especially compared to other cartoons from the '80s.

Were Maikel Bey to remake it, it would probably be about a duck who wanted to avenge his parents by killing Major Rocodile (A crocodile) and then there would be nazi's, because the cartoon had nazi-esque guys in one major story arc about nazi's, only this time they would be real nazi's and not birds in uniforms, and then everything explodes, and his love interest would suddenly be a white duck with big breasts, and not a black duck with no breasts because interracial couples are still a weird issue in Michelle Day's America, and that one time Dolf (a crow) tried to kill Lispel (A jellyfish) with his gun would be an action-packed fun for the whole family abomination on the white screen.

TL;DR: It would suck.

sans Shia LeDerp

Now that's not fair. Shia is a good actor, he just gets shitty roll after shitty roll. Also he gets paid well.

The Powerpuff Girls?
...
Child actors firing lasers and causing explosions, don't you fucking dare Michael, don't you dare.

Avatar: The Last Airbender has already been murdered enough in movie form.

I'm not sure how much worse Michael Bay could do.

NO DON'T SAY THAT

Dammit, now you've doomed us all!

Anyways, there's Batman TAS, but Batman's so heavily entrenched in modern movies anyways I don't think he'll have a chance at it. He may try once Nolan's done, but I don't think DC will let him near it.

Oh god.

Samurai Jack.

...

If this comes to pass, there will be blood.

 

[Terminate421]

I guess the Pokemon movies get to have actual battles more do than plot. Also battles have a lot more explosions.

Michael Bay - murdering childhood memories one film at a time...

EDIT: If he makes a Power Rangers film, I will actually look at having him assassinated lol jk.

 

[AetherWolf]

Actually, I'd be interested in this.

a live action version of Sailor Moon would be terrible

Even though I'm not a fan, that sounds like it would be one of the most fascinating canon murders in history. Here's my take on its Bayification:

Usagi and her friends are no longer the protagonists. Mamoru (now named Jack Kilmister, played by Shia LaBeouf) will be a teenage "loser" (who is way sexier and more popular than you'll ever be) that finds out he's destined to save the world, turning into a James Bond-type persona equipped with thousands-year-old mystical technology. He works together with a special branch of the United States Military (Codename Silver Millennium) to fight the Dark Kingdom, which will be led by Professor Tomoe (who will keep his same name and be a racist Japanese caricature) because Michael Bay would never dare have any interesting or important female characters. The Sailor Scouts will be a division of genetically engineered "super-soldiers" (that will conspicuously fail to kick the slightest bit of ass) that all flirt with Jack and provide tons of panty shots (in fact, each will be introduced just like Carly from Dark of the Moon, showing their asses before their faces). Luna and Artemis will still be cats, but normal cats. They will be shown humping each other. Twice.

The movie will spend about an hour on tedious, unfunny high school hijinks, half an hour on meaningless technobabble as they try to find the Silver Crystal before the Dark Kingdom, and an hour of disjointed action sequences of the military gunning down an endless swarm of indistinguishable monsters in the middle of Los Angeles while Jack and Tomoe slug it out on a highrise as the Silver Crystal rolls around the rooftop. The movie will end with Jack smashing the crystal and stabbing Tomoe through the heart with a shard. Roll credits, then there will be a stinger of Nephrite crawling out of the rubble and assuming command over the remaining forces.

It will make 1.3 billion dollars and get three increasingly shittier sequels.

ed edd & eddy?,

it has already reached its end...or has it?

actually i would love to see ed edd & eddy as adults...

ed as a soldier or something, edd (double-d) as a noble prize winner, and eddy as a Tycoon..

oh yes the ideas!...oh wait what were we talking about oh yea Michael bay

I would personally Kill locate him...and Beat his ass with a stick

I don't think Bay could do any worse to it than the fans have already done.

I'd actually like to see that. Except for the cat humping part that is.

 

[TophatEmperor]

I almost actually want to see him find a way to ruin Ed, Edd n' Eddy. My theory is that he'll stick Ed in the marine corps and take it from there.

oh my god...

i came up with the same idea...how dare you ninja it!

 

[Veylon]

*Reads Title*: It'd be godawful if Bay ever got his hands on the TMNT franchise.
*Reads Post*: Oh for God's sake! No!

Well, he's already ruined Transformers (though not BeastWars).

But if he did ReBoot, he'd probably change the setting to real life, make Matrix the main character, have him be the straight-up growling cynical hacker/gunslinger protagonist instead of the parody he's meant to be, and have him take on the MegaByte corporation through a series of ultra-violent and destructive "games" in a virtual reality environment culminating in the blowing up of MegaByte headquarters. Now it's going to happen, isn't it?

 

[mrm5561]

if he went anywhere near darkwing duck id have to grab the pitchfork and torches

 

[TIMESWORDSMAN]

Well, since he ALREADY ruined my defining childhood show, I guess I'll pick Pokemon instead.

Spoiler: Much longer than expected.

Picture this, Ash Ketchum is a Hard-Boiled, Loose-Cannon Cop in the downtrodden city of Los Angeles in the year 2014. He thought his job couldn't get any worse until bizarre creatures seemingly from anther world start popping up in all corners of the city, murdering people in all manner of strange ways.
It's only when he accidentally runs into a renegade from another plain of reality, a sultry young Asian woman named Pi Kachu, that he discovers the creatures are actually genetic constructs created by a Nazi-Jihad terrorist splinter group lead by the evil Professor Samuel Von Oak and calling themselves Team Laser. Their plan is to kill the President and blow up the Statue of Liberty.
Ash and Ms. Kachu must then travel to Team Laser's secret underground base, housed beneath a casino run by The Mob, and maintained by pseudo-famous rap singer B-Rock.
They are forced to gun down hundreds of mobsters to get to the central office, where B-Rock decides to join them "Cause he ain't down wit dis shiet."
They infiltrate the basement complex, Navigating their way past armed guards, exploding balls, insane scientists. At the end they find their target, the portal where all the monsters come from.
They fight their way into range, and then Ash loads his trusty bazooka, but it jams! Just when all hope seems lost, B-Rock takes the rocket and his pistol, and tell's Ash and Kachu to get out as fast as they can. They plead for him to reconsider, but he will have none of it, so they leave. He then rushes and leaps into the portal, and as he is transitioning form one world to the other, he shoots the rocket, causing the portal to explode on both sides.
Ash and Kachu are just able to outrun the explosion, and as they emerge they find that the US Military has completely wiped out the monsters. They then share a loving kiss. Credits.

I hope I have successfully butchered the series. I was trying to write it in the same way one would write a pitch, so it's played mostly strait.
