Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are no longer "mutants".

Michael Bay I hope you suffer for this....

It's like this all over again.... :)

TAHT.

is there anything Michael Bay can't ruin?

his career apparently. they keep letting him make stuff ... and people watch that crap even.

sad.

also: I'm trying not to explode right now. this change is ridiculous!

I'm just going to continue not giving a fuck about stuff that Michael Bay is involved with. You guys should really try it some time, it is quite liberating.

But the thing with this is is that it doesn't change their entire backstory. A ninja can be a hero and a hero can be a ninja, so changing that word doesn't affect anything, but a mutant and an alien are two radically different things.

Which is more evil: the man who commits the crime, or the man who sits back and lets it happen? The Turtles are serious business.

If this is more comic like and not animated series like then i'll for it I guess

If you think Teenage Alien Ninja Turtles is crazy, you should check out the bizarre TMNT anime:

@Landon: yeaaah i'm not going to take this entire thing very seriously.... it's the ninja turtles, not genocide :)

What if they were were from Planet Pizza Funkatron?

I didn't know people took Ninja Turtles seriously.

People take everything seriously dude.

So is Michael Bay a professional nostalgia murderer now?

I don't get this hip idea in Hollywood to "enrich" an already established idea. Same with the announcement before GI Joe actually came out regarding how that director didn't want to make fan-service. When you're making movies off of such childhood icons, what other than fan-service is your goal? It just doesn't add up.

Kill me now before they touch He-man!

Money money money money

And also

Money

Micheal Bay....I fucking hate you..........so much.

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

"Mutant turtles aren't believable, but alien turtles, now that's something I can get behind."

Damn you Bay!

Why U gotta ruin ma hood!?! Childhood that is.

So...what? TNT? Michael Bay is going to sue Giant Bomb?

Just stay as far away from any news or trailers as possible and don't see the movie if you think it's that much of a tragedy.

But it's the Internet, and people would much rather give their time and money so they have something to bitch about on twitter and forums.

Are they also robots? With spinning blades in their eyes?

Make a new fucking franchise instead of ruining one. Bay is such a troll.

I'd like to extend a Fuck Off to Mr. Bay.

I do love The Rock but this shit's just too stupid.

This looks very bad to me. Way to go, Michael Bay. You're already ruining more childhoods.

Who cares. Just don't go see it.

I can see it now. April O'Neil isn't a reporter but actually a mousey astrophysicist who gets all sexy when she takes off her glasses. Cue for the low-angle booty shot.

As disgusted as I was to hear this, I'm going to wait and see before I explode. Maybe they will remain earth-based turtles and the mutagen (if there will be any) has alien DNA in it making them a turtle/alien hybrid.

In the meantime I'm going to go watch the first movie on blu-ray. Its still really fucking awesome.

i smell an online petition

Oh well..I used to like them when I was a kid but getting pissed about the change won't really do anything but ruin my day.

I don't see why they have to be aliens though, there was nothing wrong with their original origin.

As a twenty-three year old who watched the first and second live-action TMNT movies countless times, this is quite upsetting. My streak of not seeing Michael Bay movies continues unabated, I guess.

They are now "aliens" according to Michael Bay who is producing the reboot.

WHAT!? Fuck this, I'm done. Michael Bay is a cunt who rapes everything he does, and he wants to turn his attention to the Turtles?

I'm going to kill him. Mark my words, you'll soon be reading about the assassination of Michael Bay. Not even trolling.

I'll gladly help you.

This, just this.

P.S. I have no idea how to make a gif work in a comment...

This is shitty.

TANT is awful close to TAINT, just saying.

I don't see the problem... Spider-Man movie changed it so the webbing is shot from his body, rather than from capsules.

That said I always loathed the fact that Sonic X made Sonic the Hedgehog an alien. So ok yea... maybe.

So, if that means that the ooze that turned them into the Turtles is alien stuff, then that's cool with me.

Me either. People are mostly pissed simply because Bay is involved, that's how I feel.

Anyone who is upset by this news deserves to be upset.

Kill Micheal Bay

TMNT fans, I lol'd

@BeachThunder said:

Well, to be fair; they would be middle-aged by now, they probably aren't real ninjas, and they're actually tortoises instead of turtles...

This is the most depressing thing I have ever read.

I don't even like Ninja Turtles but that is stupid. If you are going to change the source material so much why even have it related? Oh yeah money...

Well said.

Does being not of this world really preclude the Turtles from being mutants?
