Ninja Turtles: Five Actresses That Would Have Made You Angrier Than Megan Fox

If our comments thread, Facebook page and Twitter feed are any indication, the biggest news of the day yesterday was that Transformers star Megan Fox had reconciled her differences with director Michael Bay and will be returning for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, his 2014 movie set to begin filming in April.And if those same sources are any indication, the response has been overwhelmingly negative. Lots of people already breaking out the old “ruining my childhood” card and such.An adaptation of the fan-favorite comic books and animated series, Ninja Turtles will reportedly abandon much of the characters’ original backstory, opting instead for a version of the characters that’s more rooted in the kind of science-fiction that Bay has made a fortune off of with the Transformers franchise.A lot of the frustration seems to stem from the fact that she’s likely playing April O’Neil. That will put her in a role similar to the one many fans already had enough problems with her playing in Transformers, except with the extra baggage of playing a beloved character whose reduction to brainless sex symbol will be a more frustrating experience than when Fox played the anonymous hot chick” in Bay’s last big Saturday morning cartoon revival.So, we wanted to give it some thought and make fans feel better by coming up with a short list of actresses who would have evoked an even stronger, more vitriolic negative reaction had they been announced as the face of Bay’s Ninja Turtles.
