  1. 1. How will this movie fare?

    • It's going to be awesome!
    • It doesn't sound too bad.
    • I'm going to pass.
    • It's going to be horrible.

    • I think you meant "How badly is this movie going to fail?"

A different view on the change. I really think that if your line of logic is "But they're called the teenage MUTANT ninja turtles, so they can't be alien!!!"

You're really dumb. :/

Superman isn't called SuperAlien. Ironman isn't actually made of iron. Cyclops doesn't actually have only one eye. Hell, Captain America isn't even actually a captain.

There are valid arguments for why changing them to aliens is a terrible idea, what they are called is not one of them.

But at the end of the day, Doug has the right of it. It's Micheal Bay, this movie is going to be pretty spectacularly awful, regardless of their origins.

That's what Phantom Stranger was referring to. That doesn't mean Bay did it right.

You never know. It could be good. I'm sure plenty of Transformer fans in the 90's were put off by the fact that Beast Wars consisted entirely of animal-themed Transformers.

If I remember correctly, wasn't there a tournament arc in the comics or the 2003 series where they fought alien animals?

But look at who was behind Beast Wars.

Most people LOVE Beast Wars though.

I recall loving an arc where the turtles were split up, one of them teamed up with the rabbit guy, and the villain ended up being a dragon and some ancient wizard that got fused together.

I think I remember this one. If I'm not mistaken, it was Leo who teamed up with the rabbit.

I remember that too. That was in the 4kids reboot. Mikey teamed up with superhero versions of himself and his brothers to stop an evil supervillain version of Splinter, Raph was sent to the universe of Planet Racers, another series by one of the TMNT creators, and Donnie is sent into an evil future where the Shredder rules all.
