TMNT Cinematic Universe
I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find a topic for it so I figured I should make one. Sorry for double posting if there actually is one.
Anyway, on the back of the current craze in Hollywood where every movie needs to exist in a cinematic universe for all the dumb reasons, I couldn't resist thinking about what that would mean for TMNT. If there were to exist a "TMNTCU", how would we do it? There would obviously be core movies focusing on the TMNT as a team, but what other movies and/or TV shows would exist in that universe to expand the story and catalog of characters? Solo movies for each turtle? A Casey Jones TV show? A Splinter/Shredder-focused prequel? A Mighty Mutanimals movie? A Neutrinos mini-series? Would be interesting to hear your thoughts. Let the rants begin! |

They can't even get TMNT movies right, and you want spinoffs or a universe?
At least wait till we get a good new TMNT movie first. |

I think if a really awesome set of films sets the course for an expansion of what the universe of the TMNT might look like in live action ... that would be fantastic, but we really need to get a movie that brings the character moments, heart, action, genuine humor and well written stories that these guys deserve first. That being said, is there someone you'd choose to direct these films? My go to will always be Guillermo del Toro.

Maybe an Archie-based future storyline?

The problem with doing a bunch of movie spin-offs is that I don't think a TMNT spin-off has ever been all that successful. Keep in mind, Marvel's attempt is pretty much the only successful one yet, and aside from DC they're the only ones with a basic framework build on. The mere fact that Spider-Man, Captain America, Thor, Iron Man, Hulk, etc were already successful and (more importantly) connected through crossovers long before anyone thought about putting them into movies. There are decades of material to work from, I (and they) already know how it works, it's right there to read.
With TMNT, what do you honestly have? A few spin-offy micros and minis about relatively few characters? At least that Venom movie makes sense to work from when you remember there are 150+ issues of solo series to work from, here you'd pretty much have to improvise. Not that you can't it like that, it's just not a surefire method.

May it never be.
I love what the Marvel films have been able to do, but just stop and think how well it's worked out for copy-cat DCEU, Universal's "Dark Universe," and the King Arthur-verse. I'll admit I'm curious to see what happens with the Hasbro G.I. Joe/Transformers plan, though I have no love for the Bay-films. https://www.geek.com/movies/why-your...-fail-1701695/ TMNT can only make it work in comics, and IDW has been doing a great job with it.

Besides the Turtles, I personally don't see any need for anything beyond maybe a cinematic version of the Casey Jones fan movie or a Rise of Shredder type movie and even then that'd be a niche project.

Cinematic universes don't work. EXCEPT for Marvel and, to a lesser extent, X-Men. But X-Men is sloppier than a kindergartner's coloring book on acid.

“The craze of Hollywood cinematic universes.”
What craze? There are only three universes right now (Marvel, DC, Monster) four I guess if you include X-men now with the inclusion of the Deadpool film. Spin-offs and sequels don’t constitute towards a “cinematic universe” of that was the case several series would be counted as one before now. It seems like with things like ghost Corp they put Cu on anything
