Michael Bay's take on the Ninja Turles...Oh Boy...

[DrgoFx]

I can only imagine what he really said when describing this.

Bay: Alright...So what if the turtles...were aliens?!
Assistant: Bay, they're mutants, not aliens...
Bay: NO NO NO. Think about it...they'd be more believable if they were aliens! And we can make it edgey like they're...The last of their kind, their home planet destroyed due to a civil war!
Assistant: ...You just want to make more Transform-
Bay: AND THEY TURN INTO MOTORCYCLES! THE FANS WILL LOVE THIS.
Assistant: ...

Next, he'll do a live-action "Tree of Might."

Next, he'll do a live-action "Tree of Might."

I'd watch that.

Supposing Bay means what he says, and the turtles are from another world can they even be considered turtles at all?

Moar liek Teenage Alien Ninjas that resemble turtles.

Loved the comic, this kinda bums me out.

You know, aliens do play a big part in the TMNT mythoss. Maybe the story will be handled well. I mean, the director does have a good history of being reverent to beloved franchises...

Oh wait.

So yeah, FANBOY RAAAAAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEG
