    Am I the only one who isn't bothered the least by this? Seriously? Odd.

    I actually liked Karai, and I think this movie would be better with her, Hun and Tasu (sp?) being Shredder's trusted lieutenants.

    I reckon the first movie balanced this pretty well by keeping their colors fom the cartoon and the pizza thing but they were still arse kicking dudes. I got a colored in trade paperback of the first turtle comics; their fight with Shredder was EPIC!

    That's just dumb.

    No, it was a very loose sequel to the movies, and had nothing to do with the 2k3 toon. Absolutely no canon whatsoever with the 2k3 toon, and this is coming from the director. There is a huge website/forum dedicated to the green machine, and they were lucky to have a chance to talk to the director of the movie, and to get all of the details. It's known as The Technodrome.

    Ya know, them being aliens isn't that absurd considering the amount of aliens in the continuity.

    Maybe Krang is responsible for them being gigantic turtles this time round?

    I'm a member of the technodrome but he never said it was a sequel to the movies (and I am not 100% they really talked to the actual director, as a lot of people aren't)

    Found this thanks to our Sol Fury...

    "When you see this movie, kids will believe one day that these turtles do exist, when we're done with this movie. These turtles are from an alien race, and they're going to be tough, edgy, funny, and completely lovable." - Michael Bay

    Turtles are from an alien race...

    The eff did I just read?!?

    I hope that he meant that the "Turtles are mutated because of an Alien Race". Because, changing the concept of TMNT will cause pandemonium.

    Okay guys, can someone explain what exactly is so bad about this? I can see why people would dislike, but ultimately it changes very little on their origin, they go from "lost mutant turtles raised by a rat" to "lost alien turtles raised by a rat", what's the big deal? Genuine question here.

    Well, look at it like this: would you have been cool with it if, in the '07 Transformers movie, the Autobots and Decepticons were human inventions that became sentient and started fighting each other?
