Viacom to Marvel: "You can have the TMNT franchise when you pry it from my cold dead fingers..."

Even if Viacom gets to a point where they don't want to do any more cartoons or movies or anything with TMNT, it'd probably be more worth it to them to just sit on the rights to not let anyone else do anything with it and potentially create competition.

There's probably an alternate reality right now, in which Disney owns the rights to TMNT.

They'll still find some way to crossover. We have 2 Spider-Mans now since Miles lives in the main universe too. We have alternate reality Gwens running aound. Old Man Logan who used to be from an alternate reality is running around in the main one too. They'd find some way to have the TMNT and their side characters co-exist in the main universe as well the next time they have another Secret Wars or whatever.

It would be a horrible idea.
The TMNT aren't superheroes. And having them exist with all those Marvel characters would really undermine them. What stories could they tell that that the TMNT could be a part of? It would never work. |

If anything, they could work for SHIELD and help take down regular HYDRA agents or at least ones with so-so super powers.

They already exist in a world with superheroes, and the Turtles battle alien invasions etc. just fine. Marvel/Dc still wouldn't give them the attention they deserve compared to all their more iconic heroes and events, etc. would still screw them up.

It's still a numer of very few superheroes compared to traditional superhero comics.

I guess? That sort of thing built up over time though, part of the reason DC's character roster is so huge is because they kept buying up weakened rivals (Charlton, Fawcett, Wildstorm etc).

True but in the grand scheme of things the aliens in TMNT are weak enough to be taken down by hand to hand combat. Unlike the Bay films, there's nothing to suggest the Turtles punch and kick any harder than a regular human with the same amount of martial arts training would. In the Mirage world, Bruce Lee with a laser gun can save the world from a Triceraton invasion.

He'd probably do that in our own.

Better not team up with Chuck Norris or they'll take over the aliens' homeworld.

Marvel might also pull some idiotic plot twist that the Turtles were secretly created by Hydra, or that they really were aliens that fell out of Galactus's butt after a cosmic fart. DC Comics would probably treat the TMNT the same way as well. both companies seem to love separating teams, and spreading them across multiple titles just to sell more issues. or force Tmnt into a cross-over event that spans across multiple titles. doing a cross-over within a one-shot or mini-series is fine. but if you're buying an ongoing series that you need to buy random issues of some other series just to continue the story, then that's pretty much extorting your fans. this is the reason i've stopped buying Marvel & DC ongoing comic titles.

Exactly, how many times does Batman, Harley and Deadpool appear in a single month if you count every single comic they cameo in?
I feel half of DC comics appearing per month is Batman related, especially if you count Birds of Prey, Teen Titans and anything Harley/Suicide Squad.

I wouldn't want the TMNT to fall into the hands of Disney or Time Warner. I know that, in theory, the TMNT belonging to a larger company would make it easier to market them and possibly there be more movies, comics, cartoons, action figures, etc. of them in the future, but the TMNT are not bigger than Batman, Spider-man, Star Wars, Mickey, Bugs Bunny and the likes; so I doubt they'd be given much priority.
Also, not being a fan of DC and Marvel I really have no interest in seeing the Turtles fighting against or alongside characters like Hulk, Spider-Man and the likes. |
