The movie is more than a year away, hasn't been cast, final script hasn't been approved and filming is still a long time off. And frankly, WB would be more at fault than any of them, since they have final say on how their property is handled.

its fun to hate Bay.

Joking asside, regardless of who is writing this or directing this Bay has the kind of influence that would sway the final direction of the movie. Who the hell is going to argue with the guy who's last TF movie alone was over $700M globally in spite of the changes that were made to the franchise to bring them to the big screen?

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.
