Leo, Don, Raph, Mike, Splinter. That's 5. Add in Leatherhead, for 6. That's all the Mirage series had. Now because I'm generous, add in Slash and Old Hob (most everybody loves those two characters). Finally, just for the possible theoretical maximum even though we already have enough, you can add two more mutants AS LONG AS THEY AREN'T BEBOP AND ROCKSTEADY. Just for argument's sake, and to round it out. Let's say Bloodsucker and some Rahzar type mutant. Because wolves are cool. Or $hit, to get REALLY wild, let's even say Venus can be one of the ten. Because inclusion! There. You're done. That's more than enough mutants, and the special uniqueness that IS mutants can be retained. No Bopsteady and Rerock, no Mutanimals, no Mona Lisa, no Playmates aren't-these-cool-look-it's-a-samurai-seaslug!

a movie set in Mutant Town would look really cool on the big screen. The designs of the mutants all would be CGI of course.
As to how I approach this movie? It would be set a couple of years after Old Hob dropped that bomb that turn half of the NY population into mutants. But years has passed since the event. And some company is working on some retromutagen to change these mutants back into humans. However they wanna monetize it. So there is this groups of people that are get this retromutagen to become normal again. But then we have this other group that wants to destroy it. Because being turned into a mutant cured them of some diseases and and also gave them abilities that they didn't have as humans. The Turtles will be out there patrolling the streets and so on and they hear about this. So they will fit against those that want to destroy the only that might change people back to normal. As for the Mutants that should appear? The usual ones. I would love to see Alopex and Mona Lisa in supporting roles. |

But I mean... y'gotta have Ace Duck. Although sometimes he can be an alien, I guess. But you gotta have Ace Duck! ------------ Everything about that "pitch" would suffice as a single episode of a cartoon show at best. There's nothing there to support a 90-minute movie, that's entirely masturbatory self-indulgence. Nick could'a done something with that, maybe. A movie? Again, that's not "TMNT", that's "Zootopia, Guest Starring The TMNT". Right after that we can get started on the Superman movie where he decides to spend all afternoon waiting on line at the DMV.

The more I think about it, the more I think the Space Arc might be the most suitable story arc for this movie. It would justify being all CGI and it's a classic storyline we have yet to see on the big screen.

It was still a good cartoon and better than all the other TMNT cartoons we've gotten. It was my Batman TAS for a while when I was younger. Sure we can do better but I appreciate what we got.

Everything here I'll agree with BUT... can we do better? Well, technically it is possible to make a better cartoon than 2K3, BUT... no. No. It will never happen. It's not going to ever be better than 2K3 as long as Nickelodeon owns this franchise.

As for what else I missed, 2003 was relative gold, yes (my favorite series at that), but I wouldn't necessarily assume the worst about the future of the franchise as a whole. The 2012 cartoon, while it was focused more on humor, certainly felt like it had some elements of seriousness to it like 2003 did, at least to me.

But we know TPTB's intention was always to limit the mutants running around to just those. We know this because they've told us.

Y'know what? Thanks to you, I've got a really, really good idea that's gonna make a LOT of people here very, very happy. Turn around for a second, buddy? ((Deep breaths; adjusts tie, turns the volume on the stereo way, way up)) So, TigerClaw... You like Huey Lewis and the News? Their early work was a little too "New Wave" for my tastes, but when "Sports" came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released "Fore!", their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself! HEY, TIGERCLAW......!!! ------------------- ......Whew, that was messy, but damn, do I feel a LOT better already. Try getting a reservation at Dorsia NOW.

Mutant Town itself does not work as a long time setting because it is a small quarantined area in poverty that will eventually run out potential rather quickly. TMNT is largely about exploring a huge insane world with a variety of concept, coupled with the lonliness of being unique creatures, something you can't have if you force the stories to take place in a small area where the turtles blend in. Once enough mutant characters have been introduced, the series will keep the interesting ones and find a way to discard the majority of mutants who did not get any focus. Either by curing them, exiling them to another world or in a straight up massacre. There is no way it'll last forever because that would be really boring. And yes, even for a single movie, Mutant Town would be bad choice because the only point of it is set-up for other stories! |

You can do a movie without doing the origin. Just sprinkle the origin as a series of flashbacks. |

Secondly, your idea doesn't even describe a real plot, just a general idea with barely direction. Thirdly, like I said, Mutant Town exists for set-up and has no real purpose to tell stories in it's own right. The only places I can see your idea going is that the mutants get cured or stay in the quarantine zone as mutants and the plot is back to square one or two, either case makes for a really lame story because nothing interesting came out of it. |
