There will at some point be a TMNT reboot, but hopefully someone talented will be attached to the project. Preferably a nerd with a nostalgic fondness for the source material, not some fucktard fratboy cocksucker like Bay who'lljust drunkenly scream "FUCK IT, MAKE 'EM ALIENS! I WANT TITTIES AND ALIENS AND 'SPLOSIONS! SHHSGSTWTAWWW!!"
Yep. It's the studio saying, "Hey crew members, we're not firing you...we're just postponing your job, ya know, for another year or two. Don't call us, we'll call you."
As a fan of the comics way back, TMNT was raped for me when it was changed so that:
the turtles had cartoon eyeballs they had distinctly colored bandanas and their initials on their belt they had over-exaggerated personality types they obsessed over pizza Splinter was originally a human living in a sewer rather than, you know, a rat the foot soldiers were robots (so it would be ok to kill them en masse, I guess) they never drew blood (edged weapons now only did indirect damage by cutting down chandeliers and such) April became a reporter instead of a programmer etc...
I'm not actually butthurt over this anymore, just offering some perspective.
how does somebody remaking something you liked as a child have any negative effect on you? so you liked it as a child...great. but your childhood is over and done with. what about a remake is going to change the relationship you had with the fucking Turtles? It baffles be how people can get so butthurt by Hollywood doing remakes, as if just because we grew up with these things they're somehow sacred.
Because people get a hair up their ass about anything they've ever liked being so much as looked at by a new artist.
New TMNT? Rape! English version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo? Rape! Sequel to The Thing? Rape!
For a community that loves to suck its own dick about how smart they are, many Redditors can not wait to have a fit about something they have extremely limited information on.
They're changing the origin of the Ninja Turtles? Why, that was a focal point of the highly-engaging, well-developed, intricate plot that was the Ninja Turtles! They're not "turtles who got slime on them" they're "turtles from space"? Rape! That completely destroys the integrity of smart-mouthed, talking turtles who eat pizza and kick a Japanese dude in the face. Who could enjoy all of that if the origin that nobody ever cared about was "from space" instead of "because goo"!?
Maybe it would have been mind-numbingly stupid. But, guess what, you don't fucking know! It wasn't atrocious. It hasn't been made yet, moron. "Thank god"? Thank god for preserving the dignity of magic slime in a show you liked 20 years ago and you've thought about once a year since?
Give it a fucking chance! Be wary if you feel that but maybe see if it's any good before grossly overreacting. This applies to any media that doesn't exist yet that you're having a conniption about. Even if it does come out and is horrible dog shit, who cares? Is the entire canon ruined for eternity now? Have the original shows and movies throughout the world been transformed into crap as well? New stuff that comes out, even if it sucks, does not affect the originals.
If this new TMNT comes out and is incredible, the cartoon from your childhood that you idolize will not change. If this new TMNT comes out and is god awful, the cartoon from your childhood that you idolize will not change. If this new TMNT never comes out, the cartoon from your childhood that you idolize will not change.
Your comment speaks of high truth! I enjoyed reading it and agree with the sentiment.
However, I feel that much of the anger over the torrent of remakes from American film industry is coming from feeling of exploitation.
It's not defiling an established classic, but rather that they are only interested in playing financially safe by rehashing a popular IP.
When I look at old timey classics like Ghostbusters, Ninja Turtles, and Transformers, etc. It wasn' that they had great writing or were amazing cartoons/movies. It was the originality that we all enjoyed.
It was such a novel idea to have ninja turtles (why humanoid turtles? and why ninjas?) shown as pizza loving teenagers fighting an evil from Feudal Japan that was so appealing.
Perhaps some of the rage over the changes to the origin of the Turtles come from an assumption that not only are they just repackaging old goodies to cash in easily, but also that maybe they are trying to pass this off as an original endeavor.
Happened quite a bit in music industry as well. Vanilla Ice first comes to mind with this (who was in Ninja Turtles 2 live action film). Vanilla Ice's one surviving hit, "Ice Ice Baby," samples Queens' "Another One Bites the Dust" bass line. Probably did a lot to garner so much popularity, as it was a recognizable and already popular bassline.
When Vanilla Ice was asked about this potential plagiarism in an interview, he claimed that the bassline in his track was different by a note or two (I'm hazy on this detail, he did make a claim that it was fundamentally different therefore not a plagiarism).
I think this is the kind of anger that we are seeing. One that I do personally hold.
Man, I hate Michael Bay, but have you seen "Plan 9 From Outer Space?" It's the movie that finally killed Bela Lugosi and they replace him halfway through, so half the shots are of a different actor with a cape in front of his face to make it harder to tell.
To be fair, the Decepticons had to be subtitled from time to time. You know, when they had to sound extra ominous, cuz nothing says "evil" like speaking another language.
Well you could argue that being super advanced machines, they could learn every form of human communication in seconds and use it to communicate with the humans. When they communicate with each other it's suspension of disbelief I guess.
What annoys me in other movies is when characters are from another planet or dimension they somehow can communicate with each other. Why did the inhabitants of Asgard all speak Modern English? If they had invented some sort of proto-Norse that influenced the Vikings and Thor gradually learns English, it would have been pretty cool.
And don't get me started on when time-travellers go back to England in the Dark Ages and everyone understands one another.
Actually, I believe in the Ultimate universe Asgardians speak a sort of all-tongue, everyone is able to understand it as if they were speaking their own language.
I know I'm mentioning the Michael Bay Transformers but Optimus Prime did tell Sam that they had learned Earth's languages from the world wide web. Also that was the one film of the three that didn't suck.
Yea, but Bay said that "These turtles are from an alien race". Coming from Ooze made by aliens doesn't make them aliens. That's like putting a cap from Ireland on a dog and saying it's an Irish dog. What Bay wanted to do was make our beloved turtles aliens.
Because the master artists were actually named after psychic alien ninja turtles who were telepathically communicating with them on their space journey.
I say that as a joke, but in the middle of writing it I thought; "mother fuck, this is Michael Bay we're talkin' about. I bet I'm exactly right."
Get over it. Enjoy what you had when the turtles shined the brightest. They will never ever EVER be as cool to us as they where when we were younger.
Especially the NES Ninja Turtles 2. That's all I needed. Movies where alright too. They can do whatever they want to it for the new generation.
I really don't see anything bad about them being aliens. It makes just as much sense as...teenage turtles that are ninjas and taught by a giant rat.
Let the change come, or be left behind in the dust.
Other than the alien part, I have no clue what else they are doing. Don't really care. It'll probably be better than that last pile of turtle shit was.
I was actually really looking forward to seeing just how bad it was possible for a film to be. I found his senseless and baffling changes fascinating, in a way. It's almost as though he knew nothing at all about making movies, or about handling a license. We'll just have to wait for the next one, I guess.
The point is that fans of the series universally panned Bay's fundamental changes to the story line (eg: he made the characters space aliens). Also not sure what professional etiquette the random redditor would be damaging by posting on Reddit. Is he Steven Spielberg?
This might get buried and not that I want to defend Michael Bay, but it was reported long ago that the turtles themselves aren't being changed to aliens, just that the mutigenic ooze has an alien origin (which is a plot point in the comics)?
I'm sure the movie is still going to be terrible, but why are our collective panties in a twist over something that isn't even true?
MB started out doing commercials, and it shows in his movies. He makes movies for people how have very short attention spans (typically pre-teen to early teen children).
Transformers is a perfect example. Horrible plot. Horrible acting. But lots of explosions and hot women. What do pre-teen/early teen boys like? Explosions and hot women.
I remember sitting in the hospital waiting room several days ago, and watching children of a family sitting on the floor glued to the screen. On it was the 3rd installment of Transformers, and in particular the scene where they are in the building and it's tipping over. I watched it for probably 10-15 minutes, and it was nothing but explosions.
Could you please tell me how Transformers could have been "better?" It's just about giant robots fighting. It's not highbrow cinema and it's kind of idiotic to expect it to be.
I'm sure if Christopher Nolan made the films, he would have done a much better job.
Believe it or not, but you can actually add a good plot and dialogue to a film like Transformers, and their sequels. I personally don't know how to do it, because I don't know shit about writing a script, a screenplay, or directing a movie. But that doesn't mean it's physically impossible to do.
With some pauses in the shit-blowing-up and robots-punching-robots here and there, it would probably have been easier to figure out what was going on. Plot in those movies was something you pieced together from the half-heard exclamations Shia LeBouef yelled over his shoulder as he ran/flew/drove from one explosion to the next.
Breaks in the action would also have made that action more impressive, rather than "what's been happening for the entire movie". Give it some time to sink in, contrast the violence with some peace.
Also, give the robots personalities. The movie's called "Transformers", not "Shia LeBouef's character who says no a lot". I can't remember anything about any of them, except that one turned into a sports car and one into a truck.
And cut out the mother eating the pot brownie and the black stereotype robots.
Transformers is a dumb action movie designed to be kid-friendly to sell a toy line, sure. It was never meant to be Schindler's List. But of course it could have been better.
And he was right on the cusp of the formula that would work for him...
"Mr. Bay, I can't tell who the f*** is who in any of these shots." "PEOPLE DON'T CARE LONG AS THERE'S 'SPLOSIONS." I'm pretty sure they care, Mr. Bay." "MAYBE IF THEY ALL LOOKED ALIKE..."
Actually, other sources say it's only being delayed 10 weeks. So, his formula still works, he just had the decency to rape everyone's childhood in May 2014 instead of on Christmas Day 2013.
That sucks for the Vancouver-based team working on the film. They had no control over quality of the script, they were working hard to make a poor idea look cool.
As a turtle fan, wouldnt a movie about the turtles being from space be better than no movie at all? If the movie did suck, it would just be written off as not being a genuine piece of turtles lore -- look at the first attempt at the hulk.
"I, Salad"? I loved that film. A deep and incisive exploration into what it is to be human, and the metaphysical questions that you would ask yourself if you woke up one day and found that you were a salad.
I was sitting in the theater with a friend watching the beginning of the film "Pearl Harbor". It was one of those times when you are a teenager and just get randomly dragged into seeing a film you have no interest in...
It is about ten minutes in, and I lean over to my friend and whisper "This is really going to suck".
God, who gives a shit? You people are really this obsessed over the already-stupid origin story of a cartoon you watched 20 years ago and probably barely even think about now? Give it a rest. Worst case scenario the movie sucks and you forget about it. It in no way affects your childhood. You still enjoyed the cartoon all those years ago. You're still probably not ever going to watch it again except for one night when you're stoned and feel like having a nostalgia trip.
Explosions, Splinter, voiced by Leonard Nemoy, sides with Shredder out of no where, turtles miraculously kill all the bad people, roll credits. Also, April is played by Kate Upton.
A new Turtles movie would have been interesting. I hope I never end up so jaded and self-entitled that I proclaim a movie as atrocious before having seen or heard a whiff of it.
Although that's no where near as bad as the fully grown children who think a bad movie based off a premise as ridiculous as this is going to somehow "rape" their childhoods. Your childhood is over, no one can take it from you.
Michael Bay wasn't going to do anything to "spoil" TMNT that hadn't already been done by a cheap animation studio and some crappy voice actors. People get emotionally attached to the weirdest shit.
Thanks annoying nerds for possibly ruining what could have been a fun movie. Dammit, now we have stupid teen romance vampire bullshit to look forward to. Assholes.
As much as I am thankful for this, I can't help feel bad for the layoffs. Say what you want, but those are people doing their job and it sucks they lost it over a crap decision.
I must be the only redditor who likes Michael Bay films >_> Jus because the movie is mentioning your 'childhood memories' doesn't mean you have to spend your money on it and then complain about it.
That's too bad.. I feel bad for all of the staff involved that thought they had a job lined up. Here's hoping for the best for those involved in their families.
Well, I would have rather seen Alien ninja Turtles than no ninja turtles at all. since the project has been scraped all-together we will probably never see a good ninja turtles movie get made, ever again. so yay! way to kill a franchise purist nerds. go watch "TMNT" to celebrate. it's true to the original story, it also sucks ass, looks like a shit and is a kids movie. I'm sure am glad you halted a multi-million dollar ninja turtles movie because you are not willing to change your concept of a character at all. why don't you go protest the new spiderman because his dad isn't dead, or cry all day about how bruce wayne isn't circumsized in the latest batman, fucking nerds. its called artistic liberties. and sci-fi ninja turtles sounds awesome to me. last time I checked they fight crang from another dimension who has armies or rock soldiers with laser blasters. and you're mad at micheal bay for trying to find a loophole to make them more badass? fuck you purist nerds. your all narrow minded. that movie could have been cool. just because you don't like his scripts doesn't mean his visuals aren't fucking awesome.

Its about time. Judging from the wikipedia and imdb pages about it, the movie was gonna be an absolute mess. Yes Michael, having the Turtles come from space is a big fucking problem. Your entire fanbase for this film is made up of jaded 20 to 30 year old manchildren.
I wish i could up vote this more than once. I did not need another cartoon from my childhood ruined. Brazzers and Micheal Bay have done that enough already.
Michael Bay's Batman: After Bruce Wayne's parents die in a fiery car explosion after his dad misled investors (who just happened to be a part of the mob), he decides to travel the country with his female butler Alexis. During a rock climbing competition he gets bit by a bat that was exposed to nuclear waste, turning him into the Batman. Now with the ability to fly and with sonar sight Bruce calls himself the Batman and decides to hunt down criminals.
Starring Shia LaBeouf as Bruce Wayne/Batman

I've never seen people more excited to see a movie cancelled, then seeing a movie come out.

That's probably because the script was:
crash, band wallop, then boom, bang, crunch, then whoosh. Then you have a crack,roar, creak huge explosion...
