"The new movie version, however, is going to be different. As Bay's explained, "these turtles are from an alien race, and they are going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely loveable.”

Wholly unacceptable. From an alien race? Really? Doing Transformers the way he did was one thing, but this crosses the line. It's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over the line.

To arms my brethren ! The evil that is amongst us threatens to defile our very souls. Our memories are at risk of being torn asunder and distorted by the wickedry of The Evil Wizard 'Darth Bay'. Together we must stand unto the light and cry out with One Voice: "FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU"

TMNT were ment to be a parody, a spoof, you name it. Underground stuff that accidentally went mainstream. Michael Bay is asploding them way too seriously...

But then i was too old to get into the turtle mania and you wouldn't believe what kind of stuff lies in my childhood memories... Bear

(And I won't name it so nobody in Hollywood dares to put their dirty fingers on it)Twisted

Yes. Get rid of him.

Anyone who thinks Abrams is all about 'lens flares' needs to watch a Michael Bay film. His lens flares have lens flares.

And as far as TMNT goes.....are there seriously no other ideas out there ? No undeveloped new concepts submitted by a fresh screenwriters...at all ? Really ? Nothing ?

Hollywood has become a sad, toothless town for anything resembling new ideas.

And to change the background mythology of a series to the degree being done here, it seriously needs to be called something else. For old TMNT fans, this is almost a case of consumer fraud. Can you imagine wit the new Star Wars films...hey, lets set the story in Asgard so they can fight Thor ! Makes about as much sense.

What does it matter? Stupid origin story where pet turtles become human/turtle hybrid crime fighters vs a stupid origin story involving aliens. The origin story wasn't the reason anyone cared about the show, so I don't see what the big deal about changing it is. If anything he is right in that, getting them to be "tough, edgy, funny and completely loveable" is central to making it work. Trying to re-trace every little story detail about the originals is not.

Because the change is arbitrary and unnecessary.

That's Hollywood for you. They don't like the taste of anything until they've defecated all over it first.

Seriously. And why TMNT in the first place. My age group is not interested hardly at all. The current generational age group has practically no idea what it is.

It just bespeaks of the creative gulf in Hollywood that is of their own making.

Because *my* generation has money. And nostalgia sells.

Old news. The economic model of Hollywood rewards boneheaded numbskull behavior. And punishes truly creative effort.
The only way to sort that out would be to ban all current Hollywood players from ever again having anything to do with movies ever again. Even then, there's no guarantee the model wouldn't self-ressurect.

Yeah. Homogenization and gentrification are killing our true culture tbh.

Even San Francisco does not have a half of the personality, creativity, diversity, or charm that it had even 10 years ago. It's becoming just like 'everywhere else'.

I attribute the root cause to the degradation of our educational system over the past 30 years, but that's an entirely different thread.

More, I blame economic forces.
And 10 years ago? I was at Mare Island back in the 80's... That far back, it had already lost most of its charm and character. (I'm a California boy by birth. Third-generation Native Son)

Hollywood wants to make money, not movies.

They don't care how they do it, and they rely on the stupid masses which eagerly gobble up every drop Hollywood squirts at them.

If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all...

Yeah. It's only by seemingly sheer accident that the rare bird can escape like "The Tree of Life".

Now if they would just do a "Michael Bay Presents: LENS FLARES!" all will be right with the world.
