Michael Bay changes Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles origins for new movie

Transformers’ director Michael Bay has revealed plans to completely transform the origins of 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' for a new movie.

Launched in the mid-1980s, the 'Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' (renamed 'Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles' for a number of European countries, including the UK) have gone on to star in several animated series, but the new live-action movie from Paramount will have a questionable twist.

Originally, the characters were pet turtles that were exposed to toxic waste and turned into superheroes we know and love.

However, director/producer Bay, best known for the 'Transformers' movies, will turn the turtles into aliens for their latest big screen outing.

    What I really want to know now... what does this mean for Master Splinter??? How can you explain a giant rat sensei without the toxic ooze explanation?

    :wtf: :screwy:

    It does nothing to destroy the original, that will always be there, so what is wrong with someone changing it and making a new twist on an old story? I personally don't see a problem. Hollywood has pretty much drained and exhausted every idea, we ended up with snakes on a plane...

    From the same article: "And with another twist, Master Splinter is actually just a human with a genetic disorder causing fur to grow on his body."

    @Federica I think the fuss is, Michael Bay is taking something that works (TMNT) and is firm in the hearts and minds of a vast majority of 80's born people (I'm 90's born but still watched and loved the show) and is essentially saying-

    "Bend over and bite the pillow, I'm going in dry"

    -It's a huge insult to everything TMNT, especially the fans. It is lazy, will be terrible, and just... Michael Bay damnit!

    Oh! I missed the link to the article. This is just... ...huh...

    I mean, I'm open to it. I'll see it out of curiosity. I just watched the new Twilight movie tonight where Bella gets married, then pregnant by a long dead vampire (who clearly has living sperm) and the fetus destroys her body and kills her, but Edward saves her by biting her a bajillion times all over her body (turning her into a vampire), and then Jacob 'imprints' on her baby daughter, meaning they are mates for life now.

    I'm clearly no stranger to poisoning my brain.

    And @Zayl ...man, that quote is just in poor taste. I don't know what else to say about that.
  • Lady_AlisonLady_Alison Veteran
    Thanks for ruining it for me...hahaha!

    Yeah, just kidding.

    That's your problem. You watched Twilight. You are never suppose to read or watch anything from Twilight. Can I give you some Isaac Asimov or Robert A. Heinlein?

    Master Splinter is a human with a lot of hair? Oh man, not cool.

    @Lady_Alison I ALMOST put *SPOILER ALERT* but just couldn't believe that anyone on here would like those movies, haha. It was so ridiculous, I feel like I'd be do people a favor anyways.

    @B5C Er, my girlfriend and I actually have a drinking game for the Twilight movies... But this one we watched sober. It was entertaining enough to do so.

    @zombiegirl...trust me, you did all of us a favor.
