I'm not even saying the movie won't be good. I'm saying I don't like my Turtles non-mutant (and per subject title claiming he killed TMNT in the process). And when Bay says they're Aliens, now...why wouldn't I take his word for it?

To me this would be like if someone decided to make a Thundercats movie...but decided it would be better if they looked like dogs. Don't worry though...they're still called Thundercats.

Hopefully the aliens will at least still look like turtles. Hey maybe they are aliens with Skrulls powers but they only take the form of the first creature they come in contact with? I might be a bit more receptive if it was put in those type of terms. Hmmm now its got me thinking.

I can't help but remember when the first TF movie was coming out, months before really anything was finalized, and I was talking to Tom Desanto (producer on the flick). He was telling me how faithful the movie was going to be to the source material and such (Tom is a G1 guy through and through). But, when Paramount really got their nails into it, and the creative team got put in place, his "vision" was basically thrown out the window, Orci and Kurtzman were brought in to rewrite the script and everything changed.

Until they say that the script is final, they're shooting now, anything said now could change numerous times. I'm not going to worry until that point.
