Michael Bay's TMNT are "from an alien race."

Aw man.
I wouldn't have a problem with Bay saying "The Ooze is what's coming from space and mutated the Turtles into what they are".
I don't like this "TMNT are from space" talk at all.
Turtles from space makes no goddamn sense!
 
Well...

Turtles and space could work...
 
Yeah same here.

I hated that CGI movie.
Its ruined my hope for another decade without an awesome live-action movie. Clearly I'll never get another true TMNT co-op either : the TMNT cgi game was horrible and the turtles in time remake even worse.

The CGI movie is fine, watcha talking about? Third and second live action films were much worse. Too much nostalgia talkin'.

First thing that came to mind upon reading the topic.

(I wonder if anyone remembers this?)

Rooftop Leo vs Raphael aside, the CGI movie was horrible, and the game of the same name was worse. The second live action movie wasn't bad, it just wasn't good. The third I'll agree.

Horrible in what way? It only had the "how the monsters hide" plothole but otherwise it was done pretty fine.
 
So while we're taking a dump on the 80s, who will the cast to voice the turtles? Jack Black as michaelangelo? Justin timberland ad Leo?

Donatello - Shia LeBoeuf
Splinter - Shia LeBoeuf

The thing about the third movie is it seems like they plainly gave up.

Thankfully, they made up for it with the Next Mutation :)
 
Because the most successful Indiana Jones is the one with the aliens?

Its not the best, but when you talk about box office Crystal Skull was the most successful Indiana Jones film engrossing a total of $786,636,033 worldwide. Thus my post still stands. Aliens=moneyyyyy. :P

Or inflation/hype/ShiaLabeouf/and that people liked it (yes, not everyone is one of those Indy fans).

At best, TMNT will have only two of those things.
 
So whats the point if they're from outer space? Will they like pizza? Sjeez.

The good news is that maybe the writers will incorporate an 'arrival' scene like the one from Transformers 1. That would be awesome.

That was the absolute best part of the first Transformers movie. It was absolutely amazing, almost like a Spielberg sequence. It was so full of wonder and excitement, and it had to be ruined as soon as the robot started jive.

I would not mind that, Optimus climbing out of that pool, and the little girl asking if he's the tooth fairy.... I teared up man.

I teared up too, not during that part but during the "asteroid insurance" line

You must have been high as a fucking kite bro.

These turtles are from an alien race, and they're going to be tough, edgy, funny, and completely lovable.

Goddammit. This is really gonna suck isn't it. He's going to turn one of my favorite childhood cartoons into the equivalent of a PG13 dudebro FPS.
 
I'm far more concerned about Jonathan Liebesman directing it than I am the turtles being aliens or whatever. There are far greater reasons why this will suck apart from the origins.

It's still pointless though.
 
Searching for "new ninja turtles movie" made me find this: http://www.beyondhollywood.com/collection-of-exceptionally-badass-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-artwork/

Besides the overuse of scars/scratches/blood around character's eyes (I know, it looks so badass, it's hard NOT to do it, but come on) this is one of the best things involvong the turtles, ever. This movie being made already paid off for me.

Having been raised as a mostly tv less kid my exposure to the turtles came mostly from the toys and the one comic I had. It featured can-can dancing she-turtles (that were robots) and an impressive amount of guns being used. If anybody could tell me how to find more of this comic series, tell me.

Later I had the first live action movie taped on VHS, including the preview for movie nr 2 being shown on the following Saturday, but whoever taped it (my aunt, I think) didn't tape that one for me :/

PS: Donatello for life, bitches.
 
People like to shit on Bay but his Transformers was no better or worse than any of the old cartoon versions. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug.

Until we see more, I'm going to go with he means the mutagen is from an alien source. Despite the fantears, his Transformers did follow a ton of the mythology faithfully and generally understood the point of it, even if it added new ideas.

The original cartoon was about a centuries long war hitting Earth, a planet with an uninvolved native population, because the two warring sides had depleted their energy resources.

The movie was about Earth's army fighting against space planes and also there are friendly robots.
