Pop quiz! In the following quote, is Michael Bay describing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or Poochie from The Simpsons? “These turtles are from an alien race,” Bay said recently at a Nickelodeon event. “And they’re going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely loveable.” Okay, well, it would appear that Bay was talking about the Ninja Turtles, seeing as how he used the word turtles and also happens to be producing their upcoming big-screen reboot. Then again, the Ninja Turtles aren’t supposed to be aliens … they’re mutated turtles, which is made clear by the word mutant in the name of their clan. Is Bay messing with the backstory? Should he change the name to Teenage Alien Mutant Turtles? Is that acronym too close to TAINT? So many questions!
