Ninja turtles arising from a puddle of radioactive goo with amazing super powers is a little difficult to believe, yet fans across the world have accepted it. What may be even more difficult to believe are ninjas coming from other planets to our world.
Michael Bay, the “Transformers” director, announced last week he will make another “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” movie. His new screen adaptation will feature teenage mutant ninja aliens. The movie is expected to be released Christmas 2013. This new idea has caused a stir and even outrage among fans. In his response, Bay has asked fans to “breathe and chill,” in a statement he made on his webpage.

“I thought it was really dumb,” Vliet said. “How can you remake TMNT and say aliens? How will they learn to love pizza?”
Phillip Swan, from Mapleton, grew up on the ninja turtles. He said he loved the action, the pizza and just the humor of the turtles. He isn’t looking forward to the movie but still gives it some hope.
“If you change the story that fundamentally, it’s no longer the Ninja Turtles,” Christensen said. “It’s a new story.”
Greg Vandagriff, from Monett, Mo., is not too upset about the change. He thinks fans are overreacting and need to just get over it.
“I cannot imagine how boring your life would have to be in order to claim any amount of emotional distress over a franchise consisting of oversized turtles who eat pizza and fight crime while yelling ‘Cowabunga!’ as Vanilla Ice raps,” Vandagriff said.
