Isn't Bay just a producer on this film?

Yes, but the current guy they have scheduled to direct the film is Jonathan Liebesman , who's directed The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning and Battle: Los Angeles. Kind of a lost hope, there.

....Why is Bay touching The Turtles


Was destroying the credibility of Transformers not enough.

Oh SuperNiceDog's doing it again dude.
SuperNiceDog, you ain't no pimp dude

Michael Bay you are dumb, you're a big dummy. He should be exiled to a prison in outerspace for this betrayal of turtle power. Daaaaamn yooooou Baaaaay!

Maybe next instead of giving them traditional Japanese weaponry, he'll arm them with bazookas and grenade launchers.

That way, he can make everything on screen explode at least twice.

SuperNiceDog is about 20% cooler then the other gurus.

Ugh. And I wouldn't be that surprised, either.

Plus just the whole outlook of him wanting it to be "believable" (because sci-fi anthropomorphic space turtles is realistic), and doing away with the toxic chemical streets origins because it's "silly". Turtles started out with parody as part of what it was, this humorlessness and attempt to be "cooler" is a problem for a lotta things.

Well, hey. If his Transformer movies indicate anything, it's that this movie will be focus more on two incompetent teenagers trying to fall in love, while alien turtles start showing up and fighting... Shredder.

Oh man. What is he going to do to Shredder?!

Super Shredder was a f***ing joke.

I consider myself one of the biggest Turtle fans around and even I can admit that nostalgia is the only reason to call the second movie "good."

It has redeeming qualities but it also has Vanilla Ice and Super Shredder.

The second movie is awesome. Don't hate on it for being campy. That was the point.

IDW Turtles comic is great

Nickelodeon Turtles cartoon looks reasonably hopeful

I can deal with the Turtles movie being questionable

Anyway I bet it still ends up being better than TMNT3

Secret of the Ooze gave us Tokka and Rahzar, which is a pretty worthwhile contribution to the Turtles canon IMHO.

I can forgive Big Daddy Cool.

--

I hated Tokka, Rahzar, Vanilla Ice, Super Shredder, the lack of Casey, and the fact the their costumes were WORSE than the originals.

I mean, I still watch the movie every now and then because it's Turtles but still...

--

With them being aliens, the whole concept of being a teenager becomes well...alien. Certainly can't be ninjas either because that is an earth thing for earth people on earth. Being alien prevents them from being labeled turtles too...another one of them earth things.

So basically, this movie will be 'Alien Warrior Turtlesque Beings of Youthful Equivalency'

Yup.

Are you trying to hurt me?

Anyway, I am very clearly biased but yeah I think it has gotten quite a bit better.

spoilers


They introduced Oroko Saki and Hamato Yoshi. Apparently, back in feudal Japan, Saki killed Yoshi and his four sons.

They also introduced Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady and a new character Alopex.


end spoilers


I'm telling you, it's great.

Yeah, I am not sure how I feel about the Neutrinos likely being a part of this series.

Okay, maybe I'm back in for the trade.

The trade only has the first 4.

I think I have an extra copy of...every issue if you want the singles?

Tune in next time for Michael Bay's interpretation of Jewel and the Holograms, about the daughter of a deceased dynamite salesman who was using his wealth to create holofoil pokemon cards that weigh one gram each and her quest to stop an ancient Egyptian mummy's new Broadway play (also about dynamite) from having any success.

4 issues for a trade? Ugh, so dumb. How much are they charging for it?

Amazon has it for $12.23.

Looks like it retails for $18.

But I could honestly get you caught up with the whole series and the micro series if you want back in.

--

Super dumb! I don't understand why publishers refuse to follow the Vertigo/Image model: first trade is out fast, collects 5-6 issues, and is priced at an incredibly reasonably $9.99.

I think I'll try to track down issue #4 and wait for volume 2 in trade. Save your comics for someone with less disposable income!

Augh what the f*** I guess I gave my nephew my last spares of issues 4 and 5.

I have an extra of 6, 7, Raphael, Michelangelo, and Donatello though.

Alright, as long as you're reading it, that's all that matters.

--

I assume the Neutrinos would be vastly different in this series so I wouldn't worry about them being Hot-Rodding Teenagers From Dimension X.

--

Who knows how crazy they're gonna get.

So far, they've done most things right so I'm not too worried.

Did you hear they're doing at least four more micro series?

Next is Splinter, April, and Casey.

The last one is still a mystery (hopefully Shredder).

I just found out about this today and I can confirm that today is, in all likelihood, the worst day of my life.

I understand awful movies can be made and somehow sold. I guess there's some kind of weird market for that. I like some hilariously bad movies. What I do not understand is what kind of a market there is for a complete butchering of such an iconic franchise.

Though I can't say I enjoyed the Transformers movie, I can respect it only for its visuals so when I heard Michael Bay was involved in the upcoming Turtles movie, I was initially dumbstruck and quite upset to put it lightly. Then I thought it over a bit and reasoned that it was okay to be very cautiously optimistic. Maybe he won't destroy it. Maybe he'll just make the action scenes super awesome.

Nope.

I can't even be cautiously optimistic at this point. I realize they don't want to keep on telling the same exact story, but the origin of the Turtles is something that just doesn't need to be messed with. Subtle differences between some of its iterations is fine (Splinter being Hamato Yoshi as opposed to Splinter being Hamato Yoshi's pet rat), but something as drastic as this just didn't need to happen.

I didn't have such an attachment to Transformers so I could only dislike Michael Bay to the extent that I just didn't care for the movie, but the Turtles are very dear to my heart and this alien decision is simply unforgivable. Michael Bay is now my eternal enemy.

Bay only ruined The Transformers if all you watched over the past 4 years was the movies.

In that same period, some excellent shows, comics, and toys were produced.

I mean, the Unicron Trilogy was pretty awful and the Transformers recovered from that.

Don't know what the Unicron Trilogy is.
All I know is that I liked the original animated movie way more than Bay's movies.
