[Report] Michael Bay To Make Ninja Turtles Into Alien Turtles

New York City, NY- Michael Bay dropped by Nickelodeon headquarters in New York today to discuss the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie he is directing. It is all live action so there will not be cartoons. But he also had something else to say which took the office by storm.

He is going to change the origins of the Turtles.

Bay said,

“These turtles are from an alien race. And they’re going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely loveable.”

They have always been referred to as the Mutant Ninja Turtles, not the Alien Mutant Ninja Turtles. The movie is going to make them having been born on a foreign planet, as opposed to the sewer where they are exposed to radioactivity.

Hardcore fans are not so thrilled with the switch.

Users took to the Internet last night to protest, saying,

“So will they be changing the title? mean, ‘TMNT’ doesn’t really apply anymore … Maybe they could be Teenage Alien Interstellar Ninja Turtles?”

One user made a very good point, why would they need advanced weapons of they were Aliens, and why would they have become Ninja’s with martial arms skill.

“If they’re aliens then why would they be ninjas!?!? They would have laser guns and lightsabers and junk! They wouldn’t need to be ninjas! Michael Bay is the destroyer of worlds!”

Despite public fan outcry, Bay believes that the alien “Ninja Turtles” could inspire a whole new generation of kids to believe in Leonardo, Donatello, Michelangelo and Raphael again.

“When you see this movie, kids are going to believe, one day, that these turtles actually do exist when we are done with this movie.”

Do you think Michael Bay is being ridiculous for bringing his move to friends before themselves personally?
