Rumor: KID CUDI Is In The ‘NINJA TURTLES’ REBOOT? WHAT HAVE WE DONE.
Dark Lords and Masters, what have we done to offend you so? It wasn’t bad enough that the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are going to be Turtle Lookin’ Motherfuckers and nothing more in their reboot? Now we have Kid Cudi rolling up (ha!) into the franchise?

With Michael Bay and Jonathan Liebesman’s plans to reboot the “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” as aliens or something causing an absurd amount of shaking-and-crying among folks who should have better things to worry about, the rumor mill continues to churn, and the latest development is that rapper/actor Kid Cudi might have a role in the film.
It seems Scott Mescudi has been dropping some knowledge via social media, posting a strangely cyborg-looking TMNT sketch (check it out below) on Tumblr, saying: “An original one of a kind sketch of a unknown Ninja Turtle by one half of the creators, Kevin Eastman. A gift given to me by my homies Andrew Formand Brad Fuller over at Platinum Dunes. Hint hint mane” So is this the direction the movie is taking? Going, essentially, in a quasi-“Transformers” mode? Lord. He also hit Twitter to assuage fans as well: “To everyone with doubts & concerns about the new TMNT reboot, trust me, there is NOTHING to worry about. Trust. Everyone will be pleased!” And as if that wasn’t enough, he added, “I was skeptical as well, but by no means is this movie gonna suck. Huge fans will be happy.”
Man, before this thing has even been cast it seems everybody is telling fans to “chill” and reassuring them over and over that this new take will make them go “apeshit.”
TL;DR: everything sucks.
