If you made your own TMNT movie series than Michael Bay...?

Cool outline Andrew. Pretty slick way to condense the Mirage and Image stuff. I've always been trying to think of a cool Baxter vs Ratking story, but I think that's the best way to go about it.

Lately I've been playing around with the idea of Yoshi being a Guardian and willingly mutating Splinter in order to recruit him into his war against Shredder. Give them a couple of years worth of adventures combating the Foot before Saki finally gets Yoshi and maims Splinter, forcing him to go into hiding. THEN he happens upon the TCRI accident.

Thanks, man.

Wouldn't be the worst thing ever.

In all honesty, I'd rather make a television show based on the Archie comics with little sprinklings of Mirage and other iterations thrown in. I don't feel a movie anthology would work because I'd rather not condense any story-lines like a lot of these movie companies tend to do. If anything I want to do the opposite and flesh out the stories way more than they were before and you just can't do that with a 90 to 210 minute long feature film.

I don't think anyone is suggesting that.

@Andrew thinking about it more, I also really love the focus on Raph. He's been getting jobbed for years now, living in Leo's shadow.

Any arc or cool moments for Mikey in your trilogy?

Sure. He would absolutely be Raphael's foil and best friend (even if Raph would sometimes prefer to hang with Casey), the one to rein him in, particularly during his Shredder bit. Maybe throughout the trilogy he would be writing down notes (or making mental ones, verbally) about his great novel he's ghostauthoring about four Marine brothers in war time and their struggles, then at the end of the third film April helps it see print.
