Bay needs to be thrown out of a spaceship.

Micheal Bay must be stopped....no matter the cost.

Don't imply that he could be aligned with a malignant robot god and become even more powerful than you could possibly imagine.

Someone would have to beat him almost to death before that happened...and that might be worth the risk later on.

If you look at the word "NINJA" backwards in the mirror, depending on the font, it kinda looks like the word "ALIEN"... if you were a dyslexic Michael Bay. I think this is where his confusion started.

He really is a piece of shit.

B E C K · « **Reply #6 on:** Mar 20, 2012, 06:00:58 PM »

Wouldn't it be funny if he accidentally choked on a Alien Hunter Raphael action figure?

Yeah, well, he wouldn't have to die from it.

I talked to someone who knows someone who read the script and he said they aren't aliens.

CASE CLOSED AMIRITE?!

But now that I think about it I might know someone that has the script. He's on the short list to be Casey Jones. I'll ask him.

Why aren't you on that list?

He's holding out for Shredder.

Thank you for breaking me out of that loop.

You're welcome, Zam the Yam.

No, it was one of the co-creators sort of siding with Bay saying something along the lines of "let's see what he comes up with."

I wonder how much money he'll get if this movie is successful.

B E C K · « **Reply #17 on:** Mar 25, 2012, 02:07:31 AM »

Peter Laird said that but Kevin Eastman is one that seems to be fully behind it. EW:

No, thanks. I hope it tanks but I'm sure it'll make millions anyway and Bay will make five sequels. Bleh.

Michael Bay didn't make the Transformers movies successful, the fans did. Transformers fans are certifiably insane in their undying devotion to their beloved robots in disguise. Transformers products have endured for decades and are even more popular and profitable now than they were back in the glory days of the '80s.

TMNT is not Transformers.

Rama · « **Reply #19 on:** Mar 25, 2012, 02:44:49 PM »

Well those guys aren't gonna come out and say the movie is gonna smell vaguely of shit and we shouldn't go see it. They'll wait till it is out of theaters and their checks have cleared and then they'll say it was shit and distance themselves from it.

B E C K · « **Reply #20 on:** Mar 26, 2012, 02:32:00 AM »

^ Yeah, that. And look for dirty old man Bay to be scouting out the next Megan Fox to play April O'Neil. Titties? Check! He'll add the military, ten million explosions, action sequences that make no sense, and one or more of the Turtles will act all ghetto for whatever reason, most likely to confirm there's ghettos in outer space.

I've seen evidence to the contrary regarding Transformers' films success--namely numerous non-fans irl going rabid for the dumb Transformers movies because they look cool and gots explosions. But I hope you're right about the movies being mostly supported by a crazy fanbase and alien TMNT flops on its ass.

Rama · « **Reply #21 on:** Mar 26, 2012, 11:53:34 AM »

That's been my experience too. Fan boys go see it, but they don't seem to like it. (although they always hope the next will be better and fork over their cash when it comes out.) Where as the public that doesn't know anything about Transformers other then "It was a cartoon in the 80's." seem to love all the fancy robots, pretty explosions, and broad stroke stereotype characters that come with the short attention span generation of theater goers.

The only thing I ever liked about TMNT was their first NES game.

Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I imagined.

Also, there's talk about the turtles no longer being teenagers because the title is supposedly gonna be shortened to "Ninja Turtles". The full title was always a mouthful so I'm not actually concerned that they wouldn't be teenagers. Movies tend to skew young whenever possible. But to bring up another subject I saw on another board, how do they expect the movie and upcoming cartoon to support each other if they keep the origin story (more or less) for the toon but change it radically (no pun intended. okay, so I'm lying) for the movie?

joe · « **Reply #26 on:** Mar 27, 2012, 12:20:01 PM »

I imagine the people making the movie probably couldn't care less about the cartoon, and vice versa.

For example, Bayformers and Transformers Prime are pretty disparate.

Rama · « **Reply #27 on:** Mar 27, 2012, 01:06:26 PM »

If anything they'll shoe horn the changes that the movie made into the show. That is always the way of things.

Fiero · « **Reply #28 on:** Mar 27, 2012, 03:03:41 PM »

Oh, the movie is just going to be called, "Ninja Turtles," so now he can do whatever he wants.

Pretty sneaky, sis...
