I guess Bay missed the point about TMNT being a spoof of Teen Titans and X-men.
Teenage Alien Ninja Turtles

And Daredevil.
I guess he misses the point about a lot of things or else the giant robots in his giant robot movie might've shown up before halfway through the first movie and interrupted the film he was making about shitty teen angst.
And Megan Fox's ass.
The only way I could see this being good, is if the turtles in the movie ACKNOWLEDGE they're not the real ninja turtles. Like, acknowleding their suckiness.
Not saying "Teenage" in the title doesn't really say much to me. Nobody ever calls them "The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" in conversation anyway. Its always just "The Ninja Turtles".
It makes a differnce because them being teenagers is a big part of who they were! A couple of dumb kid, rising against the odds and fighting crime!
Not including it in the movie? Yes, huge difference. Not including it in the title? No difference whatsoever. And unless someone has posted an article I missed, all this talk of them not being teenagers either, is based solely on the title.
10 to one odds, the turtles will be drinking beer. I frickin' HATE MICHAEL BAY!
Yes, exactly my point. Everything in the article is speculation based on not even the title, but on the WORKING Title.
The Alien thing, he pretty much said outright. Be mad about that. This is based on a title. Its like being mad that the Dark Knight wasn't called "Batman: The Dark Knight" (Oh my god a Batman movie where there's no Batman!? FUCKYOUCHRISTOPHERNOLAN")
What if the Shredder isn't a ninja? WHAT IF HE'S SOME STUPID MICHAEL BAY THING! Hold me.
They say "The Ninja Turtles" because it's shorter than saying the whole thing. That's not the same as actually removing the teenage or mutant parts of their mythos.
I understand that. And as far as we know, they aren't removing the Teenage part. They just removed it from the title, likely for that very reason.
I just can't wait to see the U.S. Army invade the sewers and save the day, thus making our heroes useless.
I take that back, they will be SEALs, because they are trendy now, and fit the animal motif.
I'd watch that.
Funny enough, there was a part of a later season of the 2003 TMNT series with mystical aspects, like transforming into dragons:
Skip to about the 12 minute mark.
....WOW! A clear reference, to the Japanese OVA. Weird.
I'm still holding out for Tatooed Teenage Alien Fighters From Beverly Hills.How long before they make a Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad movie?
Never? Oh... ok.
Right after the Samurai Pizza Cats movie finally gets made.How long before they make a Superhuman Samurai Syber-Squad movie?
Never? Oh... ok.
Heh, it's funny because they are basically the same thing. Just Power-rangerized. Hell in the Japanese version they WERE ninjas. However, due to obvious fear of copy-right infringement, they changed them to samurai.
And I thought E.T. looked creepy enough!
Oh god, if only.
Right?!
The only kids cartoon where the music was too epic for us to deserve.
It's practically a Michael Bay movie already.
The only way he could do better was if he made a live-action re-make of Swat Kats.
Cats in fighter jets. Having dogfights with missiles. It's motherfuckin' gold.
Oh man, exactly. Its the movie adaptation he was born to direct.
Man I remember Swat-kats. I freaking loved the skinny one's bike, that thing was AWESOME! And did anyone else find the robot gangsters...creepy as hell?
