fug You Michael Bay

[Dpantherman]

(EW.com) -- At the annual Nickelodeon upfront presentation last week, über-producer Michael Bay revealed details for Platinum Dunes' upcoming live-action "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" movie, including a new origin story for the half-shell heroes that is sure to raise the ire of diehard fans.

"When you see this movie, kids are going to believe one day these turtles actually do exist when we are done with this movie," said Bay as he took the stage to discuss his new vision for the reptilian reboot. "These turtles are from an alien race, and they are going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely loveable."

In the original mythology, four baby turtles fall into the sewer and come into contact with glowing radioactive ooze, which mutates them into four bad-ass warriors trained in ninjutsu by astute rodent Splinter. But could the rewriting of the Turtles' origin story dissuade some fans from embracing the newest incarnation? A comic book-to-movie adaptation's worst nightmare is bad pre-publicity, and Bay may have generated that in about 30 words.

I never got into the whole TNMT thing as a kid. Not my type of movie but I don't think I have watched a Michael Bay flick since Pearl Harbor or Coyote Ugly.

If any cartoon is gonna be made into a live action movie, it had better be Thunder Cats. Everything else = a no go.

I was the one guy who liked the Transformers movies for what they are, but this is even beyond my skills to accept.
