How would you have made tmnt 3?
Please note, this is not a troll or flame thread.
Imagine you're in charge of the PD films and the second one has become a box office success, so a third has been greenlit. You're in charge of making this film, its story, characters and casting choices. What choices would you make and why? Use your imagination, and please no trolling/flaming. |

Well for starters I'd certainly have Krang come back as an actual threat. If most "aliens attacking Earth" themed movies can battle said aliens for 3/4th of a film, then so can a TMNT. (Rather than spending much of it on a scavenger hunt. Imagine if other alien films did that... say, instead of fighting them, they just have a scavenger hunt to collect pieces of a weapon to destroy them in the last ten minuets of the movie, before they ever actually became a threat. "Aliens, you just wait there. We'll be back in 80 minutes to finish you.") Also have Krang decide that Shredder is more valuable and an asset to him unfrozen. Although they're going to have to inject Shredder with some of his trademark insanity to even consider helping Krang out after being so rudely frozen and put on a shelf as a collectable.
Alternately... skip all that and do a more Earthbound story that exists prior to Krang and Shredder ever returning. If we need an old foe still then just elevate Karai to head of the Foot in Shredder's absence and let the woman actually DO something and have a big evil plan up her faux leather sleeve. I might prefer this, esp if the Krang/Shredder situation would still be resolved in a 4th. |

First thing is the movie would open with the Turtles all getting nose jobs. They'll say they went to some government agency that removes nostrils from mutant turtles. Second of all I'd have them do acrobatics to make them lose weight and slim down.
Lastly for plot it'd probably involve Shredder returning from Dimension X with Krang for his revenge, and then make it a gritty revenge story. |

It could begin with the turtles battling some Purple Dragons, defeating them easy and everything looks OK. Suddenly hundreds of Triceraton spacecraft approaches Earth, firing their laser-cannons and missiles starting a large-scale invasion.

Within the parameters of the Bayturtles universe? Multiverse crossover is the only thing that would interest md in the slightest.
Definitely get Henson Turtles. Next Mutation would be hilarious. And maybe even photorealistic versions of Mirage, Imagi, and Nick? |

Not in films, no. But someone's gonna do it someday.

On that note, I request a cameo of the Turtles from that awful Christmas special, weird accents and all. And they must burst into song so other Turtles (with particular focus given to PD due to mocap subtleties) can look bewildered and annoyed like, "What is even going on right now?"

Bebop gets roasted, literally, and Rocksteady's horn is sold to impotent men in China.

That's actually pretty easy to do.

I'd want to see the Turtles and Casey hunting down Bebop and Rocksteady in the first act of the film when the Turtles come across the Purple Dragons and Hun played by Dwayne The Rock Johnson. The Purple Dragons team with Bebop and Rocksteady & decide to take over new york now that Shredder is out of the picture. The PD and B&R could be as the setup Villains of the movie as it builds up to a full on invasion from Dimension X.
For the final act have the Turtles learn from Bebop and Rocksteady that Shredder and Krang are returning to earth soon. The Turtles then hunt down Baxter and use his tech to build a Portal to take the fight to them and head to Dimension X. When the heroes arrive they see that Krang has Robo Foot Ninja and a Rock Soldier army ready for an invasion. Now for the finally I'd have the final showdown be with a Mutated Super Shredder in the Technodrome portal room who is set to lead the army to earth. The Turtles of course need to stop the army from getting thru and get past Shredder as Donnie has set the drome to explode. |

Gotta admit, the multi-verse idea sounds really cool. I'd love to see it like intersect with the Kraang portals used in the Nickelodeon series.

In order for this scenario to work at all, I'll have to roll it all the way back to movie 1, which, with me as director and/or writer, would have been about the 'creation myth' of the Turtles, starting at the pet store.
Movie 2 would then have been about their first contact with the world outside the sewers, maybe their first experience with the Foot Clan. Notice: No Shredder, no other mutants, certainly no Krang anywhere. Very few people, and no human other than April Megan O'Neill-Fox (and a few Foot....) even knows they exist. I would definitely try to keep that dramatic tension alive for as long as possible. In movie 3, they might learn of the existence of that shadowy menace called 'Shredder'........ |
