Recently, I've noticed some threads floating around with people debating how to make a good TMNT movie without the shredder as the main villian. Well, this is the one idea I've seen mentioned before, that I think makes the most sense, and would now be possible with today's level of cgi. I'm talking about a film with Baxter Stockman in conflict with the Rat King.
With all of the ideas that have been flying around for a TMNT movie, I think this might be the one that would please the most fans. Think about it; Baxter Stockman, a scientist whose mousers are decimating the rodent population in New york- along with tracking and trying to destroy the turtle's sensei, master splinter, draws the wrath of the Rat King, lord of the city's vermin population. Splinter is the character at stake here, in danger from both the chomping jaws of the mousers, and the rat king's mental control. this would be the thing that draws the turtles into the conflict, making this a personal fight.
A war between these two, with the turtles caught in the middle and NYC as the battleground, would be an epic film that turtles fan of all kinds could enjoy. Both characters come from Mirage, and Peter Laird himself had once thought a movie with these two in it would make sense. (said in an entry on his TMNT blog where he had his ideas for what the original TMNT 2 should have been). And I think that this would be the ultimate plot/storyline for a good TMNT film that could satisfy most fans of all versions, maybe?
