Bay to do TMNT

[Bartrim]

Someone missed the joke entirely and got their panties in a knot for no good reason..

Oh well maybe if you added one of these fellows I would known you were joking. Oh FYI I don't wear underwear.

I don't even think about Bay ruining childhoods and all that tripe, but I do wonder how he could come out and say something so totally stupid about a very popular series that explains exactly what you get in the brand name!

And c'mon, being a normal turtle than gets mutated into a humanoid turtle by ooze and then trained in the martial arts is waaaaay better than being a plain old alien.

Plus there are plenty of alien species to play around with in the TMNT universe, without the need of turning the turtles into one. The 2000 series showed that.

Well Mr Bay did make three 'Transformers' movies that could have easily been called 'Humans'. And the one called 'Dark of the Moon' didn't seem 100% sure if it was about the dark side of the moon or the far side of the moon. (The far side is a constant; the dark is not.) So it is not too surprising that he could make a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film without mutants. Or turtles. Or teenagers. But I can guarantee that there will be ninjas.

No you can't. They'll probably be samurai.

I will go with US military recruited Turtles - Someone needs to be there to wave the flag or it's not a Bay movie.

Teenage Alien Marine Turtles.

They will also not eat Pizza anymore because that's not American enough, they'll be eating Hamburgers.

Personalities:

Splinter - An alien Kangaroo that only speaks 'inspirational quotes' and rips off people's faces.

Leonardo - A young marine with a wife and baby in their alien home.

Donatello - A stereo type fat geek who leaves in the basement (of the space ship) that can do magical things with computers like causing a tree to fall over by injecting it with a computer virus. His brothers make fan of him because he is such a nerd and nobody likes nerds unless it's for comedy relief.

Raphael - A Turtle with a gangsta attitude and always wants to 'cap some bitches'.

Michaelangelo - A hippy Turtle who always acts high and gets excited when he hears people talking about pot for comedy value.

Sam Jones (loosely based on Casey Jones) - A geeky kid who thinks himself as a sports enthusiast, the main protagonist. About 75% of movie revolves around him trying to score with next door girl May O'Neil.

May O'Neil - A girl who is only there for the mandatory soft porn shots and may have a line or two (purely optional). Sam's love interest.

Plot: Much of the movie will be about Sam finding all forms of hilarious ways to score with May. The Turtles then show up from space in an epic introductory scene and then fall into the background until the final battle where they can fight in the background while the camera focuses on Sam and May's butt.



You know what? This could actually happen!!

[Golden Phoenix]

May O'Neil - A girl who is only there for the mandatory soft porn shots and may have a line or two (purely optional).

May be the only good thing about the movie.

[Slag]

Bit late on this one, but he could always fit in cyborg and vampire.
TAMNVCT..
seems to flow quite nicely...

Mutants in/ from space. eg. Total Recall

LOL!

(Since Mr Bay will need a new acronym for TMNT, I'm offering him the above intellectual property for free.)

Anyway, we all know what franchise Mr Bay is most suited for next...

My Big Brony: Bromance is Explosive.

Spike - a dragon played by Shia LeBeouf - has lived his life as Twilight Sparkle's bitch. Prince Blueblood tells Spike to stop being such a pussy and learn how to be a man. Spike shoots Twilight Sparkle in the face, then escapes on a hero's journey to find himself some balls. On his way he meets Big Macintosh, Iron Will, Soarin', Chief Thunderhooves and Tank. They teach him the bromance of bronyism and - most of all - the unbridled joy of just blowing shit up.

Rated MA15+.

Reading that link about the Juvenile Renaissance Extra-Terrestrials made me - but the greater concern is whether or not Bay will bother to treat the "Turtles" as characters or just as creatures with little to no character depth. Cos that's basically what he did with the Transformers where the humans got way more character development than any Cybertronian. (-_-)

If it's gonna be like Transformers, then April O'Neil's not gonna get much characterisation... she'll be some "hawt" girl in tight clothes with lots of gratituous shots of her body but otherwise little character substance; she'll be a supporting character to the protagonist - Casey Jones. There ya go.

The recent CGI TMNT movie had what I thought was fairly decent character development and story line considering it was targeted at the kids market. I like how the movie started off with the Turtles at a "down point" -- Raphael's in self-imposed exile and the other turtles retreat into themselves as a means of coping with the breakdown of their family. Then we had the epic fall-out between Leonardo and Raphael, both expressing their anger and hate toward each other - but when Leonardo is abducted then we see Raphael rise to the occasion as he rejoins the other Turtles, Splinter, April and Casey in mounting a rescue mission. Also the story's antagonist turns out to actually be a good guy trying to undo his past sins. This animated kids' cartoon movie had way more story & character integrity than the entire Bay TF trilogy combined.
