Maybe the alien is just something that attaches to an animal and evolves it? Like a new take on Mutagen. Bad thing is, that's the optimistic look for it
Just saw an Adult Swim interstitial bump that panned Bay's alien ninja turtle direction last night. Hopefully their initial reactions will carry some weight and get this potential trainwreck out of the exosphere & back on the tracks where it belongs.
saw a news piece about how they werent teenaged either, but i dont think that carries as much weight as the mutant thing.
So hang on a second...They're not TeenageThey're not MutantThey're not Ninja (since they're aliens)They're not Turtles (aliens)someone remind me what the title is

But I don't think that is gonna reassure anyone as to the quality of this project.
Dcat said, March 28, 2012, 12:24:12 amWhy would aliens study centuries old human ninjutsu?They will just have a special alien turtle martial art that is kind of like ninjutsu. And they'll have super advanced weapons at the beginning but then they'll lose them or they'll get them damaged so they must use ancient weapons they find at an antique store.and Splinter will also be a turtle

Michael Bay's Aliens, a Michael Bay FilmRipley is played by the new girlfriend in Transformers 3 (because Megan Fox hates Bay now), and will not do anything besides wear skimpy outfits and has to be rescued at the endNewt is now a jive talking robotHicks (played by Shia LeBeouf) is now the main character and is somehow a space marine despite acting like a high schoolerNewt pisses on an alien and makes it trip, saving the day during the final escape
-Them having the whole existential crisis of being the only ones of their kind has always played a role in their motivation/reluctance to save humans... I don't know how to feel about them having generations upon generations of ancestors and successors on an alien home-world somewhere.-They speak English? This made sense with them being Earth turtles emulating a previously human Master Splinter. How's Bay gonna explain this one? Some Language juice ala John Carter or are they gonna tune in to Power 106 like Bumble bee and that African American stereotype Transformer that got ripped in half by Megatron from the first movie?-If Shredder is human, I doubt he'd be conceived as the villain since these are an invading alien (non-turtle humanoid) race... This has so many plothole riddled and convoluted components thrown in to explain things that were perfectly handled in the decades of previous origin stories... Michael Bay really should try reading a book for once, this bastardization of Turtles history is making my brain hurt.Randall Mole said, March 28, 2012, 12:29:05 amByakko said, March 28, 2012, 12:10:00 amSo hang on a second...They're not TeenageThey're not MutantThey're not Ninja (since they're aliens)They're not Turtles (aliens)someone remind me what the title is
Dcat they will likely have learnt english from watching tv from earth, this ofcourse will have the effect that they have only access to the eighties tv ( which gets there later) and they will all talk in slogans and stuff.I still think its highly likely shredder is a metal virus or whatever now, he is not throwing away all his transforemrs tech.
I wonder how he'll explain away the fact that they're named after renaissance artists. Maybe he'll just throw in a few apostrophes and whatnot and pretend that they're alien names.Hurry Ra-Pha'el! The shredder virus is attacking!
Ra-Pha'el : "Its a good thing I brought my Theraflu & Vicks Vaporub. This Shredder virus doesn't stand a chance!"

There are such things as period pieces, if they're gonna use bad 80's puns why not turn the whole thing into an 80's movie? Why's everything gotta be a fish out of water, "I don't know how ipods, and facebook, and netflix works lol" trope? It's lazy.Alien Turtles with Names vaguely reminiscent of Renaissance Masters the Movie - AKA The Three Stooges 2
Shredder is now Lex Luthor, the human who sees the all-powerful aliens as the doom of human race even though they're always saving them.
