Okay, I've seen all sorts of gloom and doom about the upcoming turtle movies, anger at the leaked script and the 'aliens' rumor, and disgust at some of the production crew and cast choices. My question, then, is this; what would actually make most turtle fans happy? I read the threads, and see all these dirrent complaints and ideas, and I have to wonder- what kind of plot and story would satisfy the most fans?
Just setting out a brief outline, loosley based on the two most recent incarnations (Nick cartoon and IDW), to see if this would satisfy most fans;
- Channel Six reporter April o' Neal, investigating rumored unethical experiments at TCRI labs (which have supposedly been going on for 15 years), goes undercover as the assistant of scientist Baxter Stockman, head of TCRI.
-April discovers something about the mutagen. Baxter, wanting to silence the reporter, hires the street gang the Purple Dragons to 'eliminate her. But when they attack her in an alley, where she is saved by four green ninja defenders, out for thier first adventure to the surface world. She promptly faints, and is taken back to thier lair.
-At the lair, April meet the Turtles and Splinter, who explains he was a martial arts master named Hamato Yoshi, who had just bought four turtles from a pet store, and a near accedent with an out of control TCRI truck splashed the turtles and Yoshi with a broken canister of ooze. While standing up and trying to crawl out of the muck, Yoshi is bitten by a frightened rat. And over time, Yoshi and his pets start to mutate, and are forced to flee underground. The Turtles mutate into intelligent humanoids, and Yoshi (Now Splinter) raises them as his own sons, and teaches them the art of ninjitsu. April, moved by the story her rescuers tell, promisies to help them find out what's going on at TCRI.
-From the two punks who weren't arrested, Stockman learns of the existance of the Turtles, and 'rewards' the two thugs by adding them to TCRI's many experiments with the mutagen over the years. Stockman contacts his 'benefactor', General Krang, who demands the Turtles be brought in for experimentation purposes. Stockman sendes his expermental landmine clearence robots- dubbed mousers- to capture the turtles, tracking them based on the only loose mutagen bio-signals in the city.
-The mousers attack the lair, and while the turtles and splinter fight Bravely. Splinter eventually falls to the robots, and is dragged away to Stockman's labs. Thier lair destroyed, the Turtles retreat to April's father's old antique store, the 2nd time around.
-With April's help, the Turtles infiltrate TCRI labs to rescue thier sensei, fighting off both mousers, armed guards, and a giant mouser (yikes!). Within the bowels of the labratory, they dicover hundredss of mutated animals- experiments Baxter and his scientest had been working on for general Krang over the past 16 years, trying to use the mutagen to create the Perfect super soldier (here are cameos for muntants from through out the franchise's history- like Leatherhead, Mondo Gecko, Ray Fillet, Mona Lisa, etc.) and they find thier sensei in one of the cages. The turtles free thier sensei and the other mutants, who promtly flee and vanish into the sewers (potential characters to show up again in sequels, and extra characters to sell as action figures for the movie toyline), amomng the escapees are the two purple dragons, who now look very rhino and warthog-like...
-Before they can escape, Baxter moves to confront the turtles for ruining everything. Exposing himself to a vile of the mutagen, Baxter mutates himself into an oversized fly monster, and in the movies climatic battle, fights all for turtles while tearing through the labratory. In the end, the turtles cause the labratory to explode, killing the fly creature, and destroying all the remamining mutagen with him.
-As the turtles escape, General Krang watches from a nearby helicopter, warning the turtles silently that 'this is not over...' (thererby setting up the main villian for a SEQUEL). April gives her report on the news, and thanks the turtles as 'her four friends in green'.
So, what do you guys think? Would this be the kind of Turtles movie that you guys would go see, free of aliens turtles, and even borring little bits form mirage and the OT? Again, I just posted these ideas to see what people think, THIS IS NOT FANFIC OF SOME KIND OF STORY THING, I'm just curious if this outline is the kind of movie turtle fans would go see.
