Can I officially ban Michael bay from touching anything that I use to like as a kid now?

If he touches Thundercats, or Batman, in the future. I will stab him. I know it's a bit over the top, but he messes around with stuff. I've not even managed to watch ALL of the first Transformers film, because I was so mind numbingly bored.

Oh come on, that is not okay. There was just a TMNT movie a couple years ago that was actually pretty awesome. Why, Michael Bay? Why?

Man. You know...if you're going to screw so much with the established premise, you might as well just go the whole nine and build a whole new property. It'd at least make you appear to have a bare ounce of artistic credibility and respect for source material.

“When you see this movie, kids will believe, one day, that these turtles do exist... These turtles are from an alien race, and they’re going to be tough, edgy, funny, and completely lovable.”
sewer mutants=unbelievable 90s relic
aliens=THEY'RE OUT THERE

One day, when humans make contact with alien life, we will ask the universe "where are the ninja turtles?!"

I hate Michael Bay so much right now. I can not even put it into words how incredibly terrible I think this idea is.

Facebook doesn't allow formatting, so I've been unable to express this sentiment properly until now:

WAIT. WHAT. :mad: :smashhead:

Ugh. I grew up watching the 2004 TMNT, which was really good in my views. I've also seen the 1980's version. Bay should give this up, I'm completely against it....

Besides, the crappy "Back to the Sewer" stuff was bad enough.

like literally sewer mutants are more believable than aliens. I was scared as **** of sewers when I was a kid because the media ate that **** up.

this is terrible.

I mean, I know it would be bad. But it seems like it might be so bad that it'd be great.

I don't get why this has to be a reboot in the first place. TMNT (2007) showed that the original Ninja Turtle film franchise still works fine as long as there's no time travel involved. Just make a 5th entry in the series & keep ignoring the 3rd one like TMNT did.

I don't know what you're all so concerned about, it's not like the ninja turtles had an origin story before. This makes so much more sense. They're obviously from Space Japan. Haven't you guys ever heard of Space Japan? It's a lot like East Germany only it's Japanese, and in space.

There's a part of me that wants to say something along the lines of "hay gaiz now wut if he acshully lurns 2 durrect a moovy by den" but then I realized "Nah, it's Michael Bay." Anyone remember the animated TMNT that came out a few years ago?

As long as reboots/remakes/adaptations/sequels keep pulling in money, expect this to keep happening.

I was hoping this topic would pop up sooner or later.

If it isn't broken, then don't fix it!

Now I'm cringing at the amount of product placement he's also going to litter into the film like he does with everything else he makes. This movie is going to be terrible. Ninja turtles aliens from space surrounded by copious amounts of explosions, completely inaudible sound, and disgustingly blatant advertising for 120 minutes.

Do not want.
