Bay to do TMNT

[kup]

I'm not fussed either way
I wonder why they've made the head/mask a different colour to the rest of him

possibly just cheapening on the mask. The head is just plain plastic without detailing. Even with the scale details, it would still look bad.

Bay has some odd ideas and I don't just mean the new face but all the accessories he is sporting including the tattoo. He seems to completely disregard the history and what 'makes it tick' of whatever franchise he absorbs and literally does whatever he feels like.

These were probably thought up at the same time they were going to be aliens instead of mutants... so maybe it was going to be something comedic, to have aliens picking up on random, mis-matched human fashion elements (like gold chains, sunnies, tats, spandex ).

Though, if that was indeed part of his original "action-comedy" pitch of the movie's theme, unfortunately it didn't get dropped with the "alien" element.

I recall that rumour/statement coming out, and thought with the recent announcement that the ooze is the alien element, could it have possibly come out of miscommunication/misinterpretation?

IIRC, the ooze was all part of the utrons (krang aliens) story in the original book.

Yes it was but Bay initially did come out and directly and clearly said that the Turtles were now aliens. Has this changed? Don't know but given how Bay works it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't and that he is just keeping it underwraps to avoid pre-release backlash.

Hey, I'd honestly just believe that Bay knows little about the properties he options and miscommunicated. I believe he's that ignorant.

Can't be any worse than the 3rd movie.

Can't be any worse than the 3rd movie.

That sounds like a challenge that Bay would be willing to accept

You underestimate Bay
