Enter the Madness

Oh Hollywood. Why do you do this to me? Yes, I am starting to feel like it's personal now.

A few days ago, a 15-second video emerged online. It shows producer Michael Bay standing before an audience in a suit, discussing his plans for a new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles film, to be directed by Jonathan Liebesman of Wrath of the Titans fame, with such a dearth of enthusiasm that you could quite easily mistake him for a printer toner spokesman at a regional office supplies conference.

In the video, Bay says: "Kids are going to believe one day that these turtles actually do exist when we are done with this movie. These turtles are from an alien race and they are going to be tough, edgy, funny and completely lovable." Rest of the article here

My initial reaction...



The Internet's reaction...



( The rest of my emotions, as ever, in GIF form. )

Stop ruining all my childhood stuff! IT'S NOT LIKE THE ORIGINAL STORY WAS CONFUSING IN THE FIRST PLACE!

This post has made me realise I really need a gif of Arnav going "What the f-" XD It's always so hilarious.

Footage from the new Captain America film! :D *full trailer is out tomorrow, I think?* Taken from SuperheroHype.com

( It looked funny without a cut, haha. )

Some news about the new Spidey cartoon, which is going to air this year apparently!

( I'd better finally get some Spidey and Human Torch team up stuff! )

And Akira! Or is it....?

( The important stuff. )

Yes, they seem to want to keep making these until one of them turns a profit. XD There are actually quite a few manga/anime that would translate well to screen, and don't have anything specifically Japanese about them so they could be changed to be set in America. Full Metal Panic comes to mind, it's a very basic story that could work in any setting really. But they seem to want to make live action versions of manga/anime that have long story arcs, many characters and can't really be set outside of Japan. Maybe it's because those are the most popular?

( Many gifs! )

I wish I had more gifs of Merlin. He does the best "bitch, please" faces ever. XD
