This changes almost nothing about them.

They're called "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" for a reason. Making them aliens destroys their entire awesome backstory, and thus makes no flipping sense.

Original "Turtles" creator Peter Laird has voiced his opinion on the matter, and he's not exactly angry.

Despite this, I can't feel that this is going to turn out well. Remember the last time Michael Bay rebooted a beloved thing from your childhood? You know, Transformers? Granted, I'm sure there are people who will defend the new films, with all the sex and explosions, but as far as I'm concerned, they're terrible. Dark of the Moon actually made my head hurt.

Does being aliens change the fact that they are bipedal talking turtles with stereotypical ninja traits?

Yes I heard the news unfortunately, from Nostalgia Critic (Who for some reason is Hyped about this movie)
I don't know what to expected!

Oh well, for once again Hollywood is going to rape my childhood…
