giantpotato Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Am I the only person that thinks his quote is being taken out of context? And this website is twisting his words to make it seem like he said something he actually never said? Here is the whole quote... So what I believe he is saying, is they are going to be presented in such a realistic way (great CGI FTW) that little kids are going to think that they could possible exist, like an alien race for example. So yeah, I am not a big fan of Mr Bay, but I really do not think he is so utterly stupid and/or arrogant that he would change their origins completely. They are mutant ninja turtles. This site wanted some hits and took his quote and made it fit their article for said hits. And I am an old school turtles fan. Still own all of the original black and white Mirage comics. So as a fan, I think their more popular incarnations over the years have pretty much disgraced their name since the very beginning. So cannot say I have much faith in anything that contains them. This. Alien race could just as easily mean alien/foreign, as in not human. In the same context as illegal aliens is used for illegal mexicans in America. I don't see why people are blaming Michael Bay in the first place. He's the producer, he's not the director, nor is he writing the script. The direction the movie goes in is mostly decided by the latter two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fry Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 In case you haven't noticed, Michael Bay didn't make the transformers look much like their original renditions, either. And it's turned out to be one of the most profitable franchises in Hollywood. Give the man a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Teej Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Plus, an Alien race is only say 250,000% more believable then "dunk gunk on some junk and BAM GREEN KILLING MACHINES" Also though both are technically feasible what's honestly more believable folks, in 2012? Plus, alien races are back in currently so what's going to make more money? :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rappy Veteran Posted March 22, 2012 Veteran Share Posted March 22, 2012 Peter Laird alongside Kevin Eastman, gave birth to the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, and Peter has gone to his blog to weigh in on Bay's controversial comments. I have had several requests from TMNT fans during this past week to comment on the idea of the Turtles being "reimagined" as aliens for the upcoming TMNT movie to be produced by Michael Bay. A few people -- who don't seem to understand that I am no longer in control of the property -- want me to stop this, somehow. Obviously, I can't do that, even if I wanted to. But I would actually encourage TMNT fans to swallow the "chill pill" Mr. Bay recently suggested they take, and wait and see what might come out of this seemingly ill-conceived plan. It's possible that with enough truly creative brainpower applied to this idea, it might actually work. I'm not saying it's probable, or even somewhat likely? but it IS possible. However, as I have pondered this further, I have realized that in one way it IS truly a genius notion. Let me explain? Over the years, I have made no secret of my distaste for what I consider to be the weak, facile, creatively bankrupt idea which can be summed up like this: "If FOUR Ninja Turtles are good, then FIVE (or more) Ninja Turtles MUST be better!" It was in large part this brain-dead notion that led to the creation of the execrable "Venus de Milo" character in the blessedly short-lived live action TV series "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation". And I can't tell you how many times we got mail in the early years of the Turtles from people who thought it was simply an amazing idea to do a "fifth Turtle", and how many times those same people suggested that this fifth Turtle be named "Picasso". And many times, the brilliant idea to explain this extra Turtle was that, instead of there being just four pet shop turtles in that glass bowl in the origin story, there were really FIVE. Sigh. I'll admit -- I have played with the idea of more Turtles myself, a few times. There was the character of "Kirby", the "fifth Turtle" that Kevin Eastman and I came up with for one of the several movie ideas which never came to fruition. And I created the "Super Turtles" in Volume 4 of the TMNT comics published by Mirage? and they eventually appeared in one episode of the 4Kids animated TMNT TV series. But? ? in both those instances, I was careful to make these Turtles not just MORE of the same, i.e. just extra TMNT. In both of the above cases, the extra Turtles were from other dimensions? and the Super Turtles, especially, were VERY different from the Ninja Turtles. I don't remember all the details of the work we did on that "Kirby the Fifth Turtle" thing, but I DO remember being adamant that if we were going to agree to the idea of a "fifth Turtle", it would have to be something other than the harebrained "there was an extra Turtle in the bowl, etc." idea. Is that too fine a line? Yeah, maybe? but to my way of thinking, anyway, it is a CLEAR line. Anyway, to get back to the "TMNT are aliens" thing -- the reason I say it could be a "genius" idea is that -- for the first time -- someone has come up with a way to have as many freakin' Turtles as they want. I mean, if the TMNT are actually members of an alien race, there could be a whole PLANET of them!
