I'm just curious though, I've seen on here that the current show was always planned to be a 5 year show but I did read a thread on another site that it was cancelled due to complaints from parents about Splinter and Shredders death being too much. Just made me wonder if parents actually have complained, maybe that is why the new show is younger.....or is it just that the current one has simply run it's course and the younger show is just a new take on it.

It's all rumours, happens with every show that gets cancelled or finishes.

We knew last year that it was ending but it was only confirmed by Nickelodeon early this year.

Any idea of what the magic powers will be? Like typical ninja tricks or something else?

[CyberCubed]

Probably a mix of the Ninja Tribunal season, or maybe something like Avatar. It could also be something like each Turtle is based on an element:

- Leonardo = wind or water
- Raphael = fire
- Michelangelo = earth
- Donatello = steel/science

Can someone oppose this magic stuff, as fans did against Michael Bay's "Blue Door" script planning to have the turtles as extraterrestrials?

[ToTheNines]

Science is not an element.

[CyberCubed]

Also the Mystic Foot in the 2k3 series was based on elements:

- Fire foot Mystic
- Water foot Mystic
- Wind Foot Mystic
- Steel Foot Mystic
- Ground Foot Mystic

In Season 1's Return to New York, we have Splinter fight them all and use all their mystic powers against the one it was "super effective" against. Kind of like Pokemon types/attacks.

[Candy Kappa]

Ah yes, earth, wind, fire and SCIENCE!

HAHAHA! "Control over an observational structure"? You couldn't just have left it at steel?

Well, we already the same basic thing like 10 years ago and the current comics literally depict them as reincarnated from children, it's a little too late to put that genie back in the bottle. Not to mention that mystic powers have been depicted since issue 9, with that old guy using Splinter as an avatar to transfer his samurai mojo to an heir psychically, remember? I could go on listing examples of this...

[IndigoErth]

Alchemy magic instead?

Or maybe hadoken?

Looking back at the FW cartoon I really don't think this will be that much of an issue, that cartoon essentially became slapstick comedy and they didn't try to turn course until later.
We were pretty fortunate with the 2012 Series honestly, and for me to some extent the 4kids series too. Maybe one day there'll be a more mature cartoon but I definitely not on a network of any kind.

if it is a FfffffAAAAKKKEEEe! tm .......

I'm still betting on someone at nick studios doing either a twist on the design, and it got leaked and posted as official, or official trolling. what are the odds of someone coming up with something close but not quite? good, bad?

We've been told that real storyboards concerning Northampton were fake when they turned out to be real. So, it could go either way.

The Don pic sorta reminded me of the 80s Playmates TMNT art and toys. At least, in the face. The rest is completely different.

2k3 was quite more serious than 2012.

There was still an odd tonal balance in 2k3. Some of the jokes and quips in that show were poorly written, especially compared to Nick.

[Shark_Blade]

2k3, 2k7 & Nick Mikey are so loud, idiotic and annoying. Why can't Mikey be like in the IDW version?



Yes Mikey did knock off Raph several times in IDW comics whenever he's over the line. I'm actually astounded. I want this Mikey in animated form.

[newfan]

Given that the new show is supposed to be different, I wonder if they would change the roles around, will Leo even be leader?

[IndigoErth]

Character development that suits them would be one thing (though I have doubts we'll see any of that in this next one), but screwing with their roles, which would prob inevitably also also mess with their personalities? Leo not the leader? Donnie not the brainy tech guy? Serious mortal sin territory...

Spoiler:

The only way I'd ever be interested in seeing that would be, say, just a stand alone episode that has the Turtles cross paths with an alternate universe TMNT where their roles are different (but personalities intact) and 'our' Turtles end up seeing how the performance of that team is a lot worse in some ways, but also a little better in others and can take something away from that as a team and the importance of each others contributions.

[newfan]

Yeah I don't think they'd go that far.

IDW Mikey may not crack dumb jokes left and right or act outright idiotic, but he's still a dope at times.

He's naive and screws up in the dumbest ways (ie: with Hob and the Mutanimals and during the Pantheon family reunion).
