Michael Bay Continues to Rape Our Childhood Memories

So yeah, the asshole came out and said that he's going to do TMNT next, and now they're aliens.

Please, someone stop this man....

They're not aliens. They're turtles that encountered the ooze in the sewers of new york. Who the hell does he think he's fooling?

Chill guys. Relax.

Chill guys. Relax.

The fact that this was his response to fans just emphasizes the complete disconnect he has with the franchise.

Anyone born in the last 20 years unfortunately, old timer.

I shall shake my walking stick and complain about the youth today. Damn whippersnappers, don't even know about the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. What's the world coming to?

I'd think Eastman and Liard might have something to say about that.

Re: Michael Bay Continues to Rape Our Childhood Memories

It's worse than that, Tasky. Feba's older than that, and still has no memories of TMNT other than the fuck-yeah genesis game and a few toys. I have no idea what TMNT lore is.


But still, Aliens. Wut.

Re: Michael Bay Continues to Rape Our Childhood Memories

My question is why? Why does he want to do this?

[Taskmage]

Re: Michael Bay Continues to Rape Our Childhood Memories

Probably some wannabe artsy reason like he feels that a threat from space better represents the fears of the current generation than the symbol of toxic waste. Which would ALSO be retarded since clearly we're more concerned about a societal meltdown and/or disease pandemic a la zombie apocalypse, but if that were the case then he would at least be attempting to do something smartish and simply failing.

Still though. Anyone older than Feba is going to be appalled and anyone younger than Feba is going to be oblivious about TMNT and not give a damn, so I can't imagine how he thinks this is going to sell tickets.

Re: Michael Bay Continues to Rape Our Childhood Memories

If nothing else it'll be interesting to see how he manages to turn TMNT into a recruitment video for the U.S. military.

No, it won't.

You don't find train wrecks interesting?

Re: Michael Bay Continues to Rape Our Childhood Memories

Train wrecks are long, drawn-out processes full of tension and anticipation. This is going to be more like a car crash. There's going to be a pop, a moment of agony, and then a lingering but unsurprising and uninteresting sensation of pain and discomfort for longer than you want to endure.
