Ninja Turtles

  For the last week or so the internet has been buzzed by the revelation that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles would be of "alien" origin in the new live action reboot.  Fans have been in an uproar over this and Bay, along with creators Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird have tried to get fans to calm down.  bay has said they are simply "expanding" the mythology and to hold judgement until we all see what they have in store.
     Director Jonathan Liebesman has also chimed in saying the following: "Look, it's so funny... if everyone was such a die-hard fan, they would know that the TCRI cannisters where the ooze comes from... that is alien ooze. Now I'm not saying what Michael said is exactly what the movie is, because we're sitting in a room now figuring everything out. So we don't know, but we are like Michael said... we're expanding it, and the expansion will be true to the mythology. I promise you. Fans will love it... Whatever mythology we're building on or expanding is coming from that guy, Kevin Eastman's head, who created the Turtles in the first place. And so everything will tie in with the mythology; fans will be extremely excited with what we're coming up with. A lot of it is stuff he's wanted to do for a long time, but just hasn't had the opportunity because now we have the budget and things on this film to expand it in the right way. And so, I'm happy that everyone is extremely passionate, and they will not be disappointed. It's all coming from the best possible place for this franchise."
     Now today a new report suggest that the film will simply be called Ninja Turtles.  Let the fan cry out begin again.

I'll reserve judgement on it till I see the finished product.
I'm always up for reviving my childhood shows for today's audience.
I can only hope that people who see this next iteration will get the same joy I had when I first saw the originals.
That's why fans really go a little crazy about these things, to be honest. They want to experience the same joy's, and have others experience those joy's as they originally did. Which is why they are fans to this day.
