Cool! I wonder what this demondragon is, the only dragon I remember was from the archie series comic, which had a guy that turned into a giant dragon.

[CyberCubed]

Good, a Nick version of the Ninja Tribunal arc in Season 5 as well no less.

[IndigoErth]

Wow, they're on the ball, starting just shy of season four even premiering. All the little secretes they will soon know that we'll have to wait for a year to find out...

Gonna crash the place? Yeah, I'm sure that will go over real well. :trazz:

[Chaotix12345]

Wow, hard to believe that even though we've only gotten two episode descriptions for Season 4 so far, we've already got the first title for Season 5! "Demodragon" definitely sounds interesting. Could this be a new thing or a new take on a previous idea? The Warrior Dragon/Hothead? (Warrior Dragon WAS pretty similar to Etrigan the Demon of DC Comics fame, so "Demodragon" would kinda fit.) the Ninja Tribunal stuff? The Dragon Lord and Rank of Next Mutation finally being used to their potential? Oooooooh, so much potential and we've still got several months before we'll come even an inch closer to finding out. Love these kinds of teasers. :lol:

there is also Herman the Horrible which wasn't really a dragon, he's more like two alien turtles in a two headed dragon costume.

[Ninjinister]

What could be the demodragon?

An unfinished portion of the dragon that you get to experience before the regular dragon is released.

Not any that I'm aware of. I've been a D&D player/DM for nearly two decades and three game editions beginning with 2nd (I skipped over 4th), and I've never come across anything called a demodragon. There are pseudo-dragons, half-dragons, draconians, planar dragons, dragonets, dracoliches, dracolisks (dragon/baskilisk), fairy dragons, dragon horses, dragonnels, linnorm dragons, dragon-kin, Lung (Oriental) dragons, and dragon-gods, even a dragon-turtle, but no demo-dragons that I've ever come across, nor anything relating to such. A demonic dragons, perhaps, but I'm not certain that the title is referring to anything of the kind.

This sounds much more likely. Dragon Lord or Hothead could be a good possibility.

Hmm, Drako is also a good candidate.

[CyberCubed]

Given they're working on Season 5 already, I wonder if a Season 6 and 7 will be decided sometime next year.

Seems like they're already working on an episodes a more than a year in advance.

[Vicky82]

I wonder if we getting a Ninja Tribunal story.

[victory_angel]

Seriously guys, we haven't seen season 4 yet. It's a bit early to make speculation on something we only know the title of.

But since we are all speculating here. The title doesn't sound like Ninja tribunal to me... the title is Scroll of the Demodragon. That indicates its a scroll that belongs to a demonic dragon, or a scroll that summons a demonic dragon. That limits it to two possible established characters, Dragon Lord and Drako.

Dragon Lord also known as Dragon Skull was the king of all dragons who was trapped long ago in a different dimension, but manages to escape imprisonment to reclaim what he feels is his. Since the Kraang and the Turtles will be dimension hopping this season perhaps some action on either party opens up the dimension where Dragon Lord is imprisoned enabling his escape or one of his minions to pass through. Then Dragon Lord needs the "Scroll of the Demodragon" to unleash his forces. Or if it's the minion then the scroll would be used to unleash the might of the dragon lord.


Drako however is one of two villainous characters from the Ninja Tribunal though. Both were legitimately defeated in battle and both were sore losers because of their defeat.

Ultimate Ninja had wanted to fight the Shredder to see who was the more superior ninja, however he learned that Shredder had been defeated by Leonardo so he challenges Leo to a mortal dual to see who was superior. Leo wins, but Ultimate Ninja refuses to accept defeat and dishonorably tries to kill the Turtles and Splinter. But Ultimate Daimyo stops his son from doing so.

Drako on the other hand was a feared fighter and champion of the battle nexus. He is defeated in the last round by Splinter and after everything was over he attacks Splinter seeking revenge for his defeat. He was interrupted in his attempts to kill Splinter and vanished for several years. He returns as Ultimate Ninja's councilor. Ultimate Ninja poisons Leonardo rendering him unable to participate in the Nexus Tournament, and then framing Splinter for an attack upon the ultimate daimyo so he can take control of the nexus. Drako also wanted to control the Nexus and they end up fighting over the Daimyo's war staff creating a rift that swallows the two to them. We see them later in Return of Savanti when the Turtles go to the cretaceous period to fight Savanti Romero.

A good way to introduce them in the nick show is the Ultimate Ninja comes to seek a duel with Hamato Yoshi. Unfortunately assuming that Splinter is dead still, he is unable to so he turns his attention to the Turtles since they are Hamato Yoshi's successors. Leo steps forward saying that he will face the Ultimate Ninja in the duel and everything has to be between the two of them only. At first Ultimate Ninja has the upper hand, but Leo wins the fight. Ultimate Ninja isn't happy about his defeat and says they would regret this day. Returning to the Nexus he uses the "Scroll of the Demodragon" to summon Dreko so he can get his revenge upon the Turtles.

[Powder]

It's never to early to speculate. That's like, literally the definition of speculating.

"To form a theory or conjecture about a subject without firm evidence."

[drgon78]

As long as there is a real dragon in this one and it isn't a title for some ninja, emperor, etc.

[JTH]

And to the people who say we exaggerate when myself and others say it takes about a whole year to make one complete episode.

*Clears Throat* No, we're not.

[Ninjinister]

An unfinished portion of the dragon that you get to experience before the regular dragon is released.

I am not sure if you are serious or joking. Demo would imply demon like Demogoblin, the briefly split demon form of Jason ' Jack ' O Lantern' Macandale. Not demi as in a miniature version such the preevolved form of Devimon, Demidevimon, which is a miniature version.

Warrior Dragon was my guess. I like the idea of the Ninja Tribunal, but I am not sure how it would be worked in.

First appeared in the D&D cartoon, and was also published as a CR21 monster in Dungeon #147 back in 2007

[Allio]

Interesting episode title. Also someone should crash NAS studio A.

I'm driving through their windows right now

[IndigoErth]

:lol: Of course, if you would like to fight the whole dragon that will be $1599.99 or you can pay with your life.


Edit: Looks like he may have deleted it from twitter, so thanks Rob for the momentary leak and Autbot Benz for catching it so quick. ;)

More edits: Dunno if anyone else already grabbed it, but went and found the cached version to grab a screen shot of the post itself with the date.

Have the clocks gone back in the US yet because they do in the UK next week on the same day season 4 starts so I think it will start at 3pm for us.

[IndigoErth]

Think our clocks change Nov 1st.

[oldmanwinters]

Wow, they do start those cast recordings early! How long ago did Nick greenlight Season 5?

I'm kind of bothered that anyone would think there was even a chance for that to have been a serious answer, especially since I did post a real answer later.

[cookie jar]

3 months ago Nick announced that TMNT has been renewed for a 5th season.

[biganimefan]

Not sure if I'm grasping at straws here(probably) but something to consider. We do know that at least some of the creators of the show are fans of Anime and Japanese culture. In my experience"Demo" is a rough equivalent to the English conjunction "but". It wouldn't be much of a stretch for these people to have this creature be a "Butt Dragon"

[Foombamaroom]

I'm glad they're recording early. It means that once the voicework is done, they can start the animation, and there won't be as many breaks in between episodes because the episodes will be completed.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

You are correct
http://www.dungeonsdragonscartoon.com/2009/07/demodragon.html?m=1


It's a one-off, though. It was never mentioned in any of the game material or other media outside of that single episode, unlike other monsters like the beholder, bullywugs, fairy dragons, or Tiamat. It was so much a "one-off" that I'd even forgotten it existed, even though I OWN the entire series!


First appeared in the D&D cartoon, and was also published as a CR21 monster in Dungeon #147 back in 2007


I was unaware that they had ever actually(finally?) statted that monster up. Even dug through my PDF's of the old magazines just to check. I have (almost) the entire run of Dragon including the final print issue, and most of Dungeon up to 2006. Up until that, though, it had never had any mentions outside of the cartoon itself. Wonder why it took them so long? Somebody must have bugged WoTC about it or something.

The closest thing I'd ever seen were the catoblepas or maybe a fiendish hydra of some kind. Or some weird fiendish offspring of Tiamat herself- though that would more rightly make it a devi-dragon. Since she is from the Nine Hells, rather than the Abyss. Unless she mated with a demon of some sort. (A glabrezu maybe? Nalfeshnee? Balor? Gah, none of the possibilities are pleasant to consider....) From the Google search, it looks like that might have been the last print issue of Dungeon? I know they started doing a lot of the Demonomicon stuff in the last dozen issues or so. Was it part of that series?

CR 21, huh. *whistles* not bad, but I've dealt with worse. Created worse, too, actually. Helstrom the Red Death would eat that thing for lunch. Then again, he WAS one of Tiamat's direct offspring.... (He's an advanced red Elder Great Wyrm, attempting to attain godhood, BTW. Sort of the "ultimate big bad nasty OMG!" of my home realm.)

[JTH]

I'm glad they're recording early. It means that once the voicework is done, they can start the animation, and there won't be as many breaks in between episodes because the episodes will be completed.
They've always started this early.

They were doing recording for the start of Season 3 during '13 SDCC, that was with still 4 episodes left to air in Season 1. So this isn't anything new.

[Vicky82]

Before we found out there was going to be a season 5 Brandon said on Instagram that he was thinking of new stories.

[CyberCubed]

It always amazes me how far in advance they're working on episodes before they even air on TV. I mean this Season 5 episode won't air till what...late 2016 at the earliest? My god.

[senpai]

Animation still takes a great deal of time. And not just that, I'm sure there's plenty of things to work out within the studio, the writers and producers, and all that other stuff that goes into creating a cartoon that I'm not very familiar with. Plus, TMNT isn't the only project involved with Nick... Everything has a schedule and deadline.

[TigerClaw]

Looks like Rob Paulsen deleted the tweet, maybe he wasn't supposed to show that?

[Ursalink]

Iprefer going step by step. First, season 4, thenn season 5.

I don't think the Ninja Tribunal will be introduced at this point, however the "DemoDragon" thing makes me think about the Demon Shredder from the 2003's series. I mean, he had the power of a demon and he could turn into a dark evil dragon. Maybe in his obssession to destroy the Turtles and Splinter (who I hope he will be restored), the Shredder will make somekind of "pack with the devil" about getting the power to destroy them by his soul or something. Don't you think?

[IndigoErth]

Looks like Rob Paulsen deleted the tweet, maybe he wasn't supposed to show that?
Wondered too. (But a screen cap of it is in one of my prior posts.)

[CyberCubed]

He most likely got in trouble because the episode title was on the script. He should have blurred that out at least.

[miru]

Not to mention we also have Drako who later on merges with The Ultimate Ninja and becomes "The Ultimate Drako"

http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/tmnt/images/6/63/Ultimatedrako-tmnt.PNG/revision/latest?cb=20121022135712 http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/tmnt/images/e/ea/Drako.png/revision/latest?cb=20081031052204

Could be a Freedom Planet crossover episode. :3

[BubblyShell22]

Awesome to hear they've started recording season 5 already. The title sounds cool, and I'm intrigued to find out what this demodragon is. Could it be a mythical creature that is proven real?

[TurFlytle]

Could be a Freedom Planet crossover episode. :3

You make the most sh***y crossovers ever. At least have a crossover that makes sense. You even stated you wanted a Sonic crossover before. The nick team would probably cringe at your suggestions. And what even made you think a dragon equals a crossover? That's like saying Turtles in Space is a Star Wars crossover. A season premiere with a crossover like that is a bad idea to begin with. The Uncle Grandpa crossover with Steven Universe wasn't canon, it was only filler, which is good. The show has like 50 episodes per season, so just one filler won't matter.

[The Happy One]

Could be a Freedom Planet crossover episode. :3

Meh. Doubt it, man. The only crossovers this show will do is probably other versions of turtles. Which is probably a good thing. I haven't seen too, too fantastic crossovers with other shows that are meant to be canon. But...you have...interesting ideas, Miru.

I'd just walk in and say "Hi, I'm Andre and I'm a Black Nerd!"

[Vicky82]

Looks like Armaggon is in season 5 as Brandon Auman posted on Instagram that Ron Perlman was there recording yesterday.

[Powder]

What makes you think it's season 5?

[Vicky82]

Because Rob Paulson tweeted (which got delegated later) the other day that they start recording season 5 on Monday (look at the first post on this thread)

[Powder]

I've seen it, I already posted in this thread on the first page. :tlol:

"They" = the main cast. The guests record even while the seasons are in progress. While it's possible the character would return later, Armaggon was revealed for season 4, & this was Ron's first time at the Nick studios so naturally he'd be doing his parts for the current stuff.

[Vicky82]

The Outlaw Armaggon is one of next new episodes either episode 3 or 4 so Ron Perlman would have done the voice recording for that episode and maybe a few more episodes a year ago.

[ToTheNines]

It still has to be recorded before being sent off to be animated, so I bet it's season 5. Or maybe just some ADR for 4.

[The Happy One]

The Outlaw Armaggon is one of next new episodes either episode 3 or 4 so Ron Perlman would have done the voice recording for that episode and maybe a few more episodes a year ago.

So does that mean he's in season 4 and 5 or do you think Ron will play a different character in season 5?
Thanks for the info by the way:)

[Vicky82]

Here's the link, sorry I couldn't do earlier as I was at work.

https://instagram.com/p/9E3ZSioBxk/?taken-by=brandon_auman

Brandon does say it's Armaggon and not a new character. Looks like Armaggon and they started recording season 5 on Monday so it looks like he's in both seasons.

Here's the link to the upcoming episode The Outlaw Armaggon, no episode description up yet.

http://tvschedule.zap2it.com/tv/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-riddle-of-the-ancient-aeons/EP015893230098?aid=tvschedule

it could be episode 3 or 4 and I expect he will be in more than one episode in season 4. I expect he recorded his lines for season 4 like a year ago.

[MaximeLoonatic]

Do you guys think there's a possibility of a Battle Nexus Chapionship on the future?

[Powder]

It still has to be recorded before being sent off to be animated, so I bet it's season 5. Or maybe just some ADR for 4.

ADR is my guess. Lotta this stuff is last minute.

Yayyy, season 5. :D

I'm glad Season 5 is moving into production already. Its only a matter of time before we get a Season 6 and 7 confirmed.

7 seasons and a DTV movie just like the 2k3 series got, its what we can look forward to.

[BubblyShell22]

Well I've had the opposite experience. I'm currently hoping that finances will improve, I'll do well in my exams, graduate, get a job. If I didn't have hope I'd be miserable. To quote Leo, 'You can't give up hope. Trust me on that'.

[BubblyShell22]

Well, I'm the opposite. I've been hopeful too many times and have just been disappointed each time, so I don't bother anymore on hoping. I just have the, "Wait and see what happens" type attitude and leave it at that. That's the way I'm looking at it as far as more seasons are concerned.

[TigerClaw]

I'm sure the show will get renewed for a 6st season during season 5, there is so many stuff in the comics that they can adapt.

The Fred Wolf series is the only one to last for 10 seasons, If the show gets good enough ratings, and how well the stories are, they could go on longer.

Great episode record this morning! Glad to finally meet @GwendolineYeo.

Yaaaay for Gwendoline!!!

If Peter wrote the episode, I know it's gonna be great! And possibly Donnie-centric which is more than fine by me. Donnie centrics are cool and tend to focus on his exceedingly high stress levels :lol:
The poor boy...

But perhaps she could be playing Jhanna, which I'd love because the way I see it (and not trying to get in ship wars) Donnie and April are pretty awesome (in the show and comics, fanfiction aside) as science nerd bros that geek out and watch Discovery Channel together:D

So...yeah...a little Jhannatello never killed nobody, right?

But who else do you guys think she could be? Kitsune?
Whoever she plays, I'm sure I'll love it!

[BubblyShell22]

I would love it if she was playing Lotus Blossom. That would make my day.

[cookie jar]

I would love it if she was playing Lotus Blossom. That would make my day.

You're reading my mind. When I first heard Gwendoline Yeo will be voicing a character in the show my first thought was that character is Lotus Blossom. And if she isn't voicing Lotus Blossom who knows maybe someone else will.

I have nothing against adding Lotus in the show, but if they add her I just hope there will not be another love triangle like Donnie/April/Casey love triangle. Their love triangle to me is probably the least interesting thing about the show.

So the name of episode 2 season 5 is The Forgotten Swordsman, and Gwendoline Yeo will appear.

It seems she posted this on her Instagram and she deleted it, but someone took this picture before she deleted it.

I wondered if this episode was real because it was put up on Turtlepedia about 2 weeks ago and I asked for proof but didn't get any and I was thinking about deleating it. Glad I got the proof now.

[TurFlytle]

Well, the chances of season 5 being Japan is like 80% certain for me. Dragons and swordsmen aren't very common in New York. Plus, the turtles went to Japan in previous incarnations.

[CyberCubed]

Yeah its likely we'll have some sort of Japan arc.

[TigerClaw]

Yeah its likely we'll have some sort of Japan arc.
That would be cool, and hopefully they can explore TigerClaw's backstory since he's from Japan.

Managed to find the image with the title of the script.

[Ursalink]

By the first two names of this season's episodes, it seems this season will be focus on Myths and Magic, just like the 5th season (Lost Season) of the 2003's series.

[ToTheNines]

I'm dying to know who Yeo is voicing.

Bet that episode is about Tigerclaw's rival though.

[CyberCubed]

It'll amuse me greatly if they're doing their own version of the Ninja Tribunal.

Ditto! Best thing the 4kids series did.

So I visited Gwendoline Yeo’s Instagram to see is still there that picture she posted from recording and I found this clip.

You can hear something interesting from recording. Here it is written:

Fishface: I have been looking forward to this rematch Raphael

Raphael: Whatever Tiger Claw and that Dragon freak

Dragon freak as demodragon... who is he and how is he connected with Tiger Claw?

Haven't you ever heard of the "Dragon and Tiger's Leyend"? Me neither, honestly. But it's a very used title on chinese/japanese stuff, and the dragon and the tiger represent somehow Yin and Yang.

This is the first time I heard it. Sounds interesting. Btw I remembered a title of one chinese movie Crouching tiger, Hidden dragon.

Now I wonder if Tiger Claw and Dragon are working together on something, does it mean Dragon is working for Shredder also, or Tiger Claw left Shredder and the Foot?

considering how tiger claw was pissed off at shredder in the finale, its more likely he leaves shredders forces

i'm just happy the series has made it to season 5!!

here's to hoping for many more!!!

Why would you think that? I don't understand this obsession people have with thinking every season is going to be the last one.

From Gwendoline Yeo's FB. The picture from season 5 recording a month ago.

It looks like the character she is voicing will have scenes with Rahzar. And don't forget there are pictures of Gwendoline Yeo with Kelly Hu and Kevin Michael Richardson from recording.

[Powder]

Another shot with Shredder, Tigerclaw, Fishface, & Karai (+ Brandon, obviously). As for Gwendoline, I guess it's safe to say she's a villain, eh?

Gwendoline Yeo confirmed that she is voicing a female character and she will appear in season 4 and season 5.

Gwendoline Yeo Retweeted Mayowa Eleso

https://twitter.com/mayowaeleso/status/662961005492875268

Well according Yeo, Auman describes her character as walking line between good and evil.

[Foombamaroom]

Why would you think that? I don't understand this obsession people have with thinking every season is going to be the last one.

We know, Cubed.
We know.

But in all seriousness, I would prefer this show end on a high note rather than drag along. TMNT 2003's first 5 seasons were great, and then 6 and 7 were awful. Season 3 of this show was pretty week, and Season 4's okay so far, so I just hope that they don't have it drag along. If they can do an all-out, balls-to-the-wall, amazing fifth and final season, then I'm perfectly fine with that.

Or they said that just to confuse us, so not to give anything away.

Or she could be still under mind control as there is a possibility she's got more than 1 worm inside her head.

Or Karai has been brainwashed by a new character who's on Shredder's side.

Or she's pretending to be evil.

[Jephael]

Well, seeing as how we've only just begun with season 4 airing, it's gonna be a while before we see season 5. I'm gonna hold off on speculating anything, since it's way too soon.

[Foombamaroom]

Or she just has a scene with them.

[victory_angel]

OH HELL YEAH! Just watchd BTILCT again the other night, so I'm extra hyped now for the return of Ho Chan.

Ciro Nieli told me on Twitter they begun 22 hours ago! AWESOME! Also, how do I upload photos?

[thundermaster612]

They've always started this early.

They were doing recording for the start of Season 3 during '13 SDCC, that was with still 4 episodes left to air in Season 1. So this isn't anything new.

So does that mean Dominic originally played season 3 Leo?

I think ShredHead might've actually put more than one worm into Karai's head. It was shown in one of the episodes, The Deadly Venom I think...

It was shown at the beginning of Attack of the Megashredder. I think when Karai comes back. She will be looking for vengeance on the Turtles and Splinter and also vengeance upon the Shedder after all she did cough up that one worm and that is not going to sit well with her even if she does have others crawling in her brain and Shredder is crazy enough to put several in worms in her head as a means of solidifying his hold over her

There's still like 3 or 4 other voice actresses whose roles we don't know yet. Here's hoping for Ninjara, Angel, Viral and/or Lotus Blossom showing up this season or the next.

ADR stands for Automatic Dialog Replacement

I really hope Mona Lisa is back for Season 5.

It's additional voice recording. Corrections, an extra line or two, grunts & yells, that sorta thing.

Oh right but they are cutting it close then if she's only appearing in the Space Arc.

[TigerClaw]

ADR is commonly used in the movies, even the recent TMNT movies.

sometimes the dialogue isn't picked up on the set due to a lot of background noise, So they would have the actors go into the studio and redub there voices over the dialogue.

Do you think these will be the vampires that suck out mutagen or the vampires that will turn a turtle into a monster like in Mirage?

[Ninjinister]

Is season 5 going to be about monsters/cryptids? o.O

[CyberCubed]

I'm willing to bet the first 13 eps of Season 5 are some sort of quest/pilgrimage across Japan and the middle-east like in the Archie comics.

[Ninjinister]

That would hardly explain Dracula....

Season 5 is said to have a mystical theme (I cannot wait for the return of Ho Chan!). I guess Dracula could tie into that.

I guess the beginning of every season now will be the Turtles traveling somewhere.

Season 3 was Northampton, Season 4 was space, and Season 5 probably looks to be some European/Asian tour.

Hopefully they've nearly finished animating the first few episodes of season 5 but depending when season 4 finishes, season 5 probably won't be starting until next year.

So 124 episodes by the end of Season 5, but that's not good enough. Each TMNT cartoon makes at least 150 episodes.

So the show still needs 7 seasons to hit it.

If the show doesn't make 7 seasons and 150 episodes then it is a failure in my eyes.

The 2k3 series had far less ratings than the Nick cartoon yet it still managed a 7 season run and 156 episodes. Also Nick as a company is about a billion times more well off than 4kids was, obviously, so they have a much higher budget.

Never made that connection. Its more along the lines that the 2k3 series has 156 episodes, and the original cartoon 193.

In fact I want the Nick cartoon to be the first series to reach the milestone 200 episode barrier, but I'll be content if it just breaks 150.

If that were the case, they would have said, "We recorded our final episode" or "We've completed the series" or "This is our series end party" or so forth.

Most likely scenario though is they don't know this early if the show is getting more seasons after that. Season 5 won't even air on TV till next year.

I'm sure almost everyone would agree, but as long as they keep it entertaining and the story ends in a compelling and satisfying way then I don't mind when it ends. The more Turtles the better, unless "more Turtles" means they can't maintain the same level of quality.

I fully expect the show to continue based on the knowledge we have now. Nick isn't going to cancel as its the one thing that makes them the most money (the movies as we know bombed in theaters, and the profits from the IDW comic are likely not much since they have to share it with IDW), so the cartoon and its merch generates the majority of the revenue.

We all know this good and well. Or at least I certainly hope we all know this good and well. Does anyone here not know this good and well?

We all know this good and well. Or at least I certainly hope we all know this good and well. Does anyone here not know this good and well?

lol yeah right...... thatll certainly be the day when nick stops prioritizing the sponge baby

[M.O.D.O.K.]

Be glad that Disney hasn't got TMNT, because due to there silly rule, it would have ended at episode 65 even if it is a success.

As a fan of Young Justice, Green Lantern, Spectacular Spider-Man, and Beware the Batman, I would be eternally grateful for 65 episodes.

That's exactly how long the original Teen Titans cartoon series ran for, and they were split up into 5 seasons, each consisting of only 13 episodes. So yea, we should only be so lucky we get a good 130 episodes out of this TMNT series. Cubed needs to stop being such a spoiled man-child for Pete sake!

[CyberCubed]

TMNT cartoons are known for being long running. I don't see why people keep comparing them to DC or Marvel cartoons.

Because long running comic book based cartoons don't last as long like that anymore. Hell, I highly doubt the live action CW shows will last half as long as Smallville did. Just accept it.

By the end of Season 5 the Nick cartoon will already have 124 episodes, so the show is already over 100 episodes and long running. If Nick TMNT was just a 65 episode or less series like all the DC/Marvel cartoons out there, then you'd be right.

Why do you think Nick commissioned so many episodes in the first place? They could have done 13 episode seasons instead of 26 episode seasons. They know the brand is long lasting and they obviously wanted a lot of episodes from the start.

While it seems like they will make less episodes a season going forward, I still expect them to go up to Season 7 and at least 150 episodes.

I know, it's like I said. He's just a big spoiled man-baby who pitches a sh*t fit if anyone disagrees with what he wants out of the TMNT. Dude seriously needs to get a life.

[CyberCubed]

I've always explained why I think the show will run 7 seasons, why you're so triggered by that notion I have no idea. I feel like we've had this conversation a number of times before because well....we have!

Very interesting.

[ZariusTwo]

Disney really don't enforce that rule as much these days. The likes of Phineas and Ferb and Ultimate Spider-Man both exceeded that number.

[BubblyShell22]

Cubed, I know you have expectations on how long the show should be, but that's really up to the Nick executives on how long it should run. The way I see it is if the show lasts only five seasons, that's perfectly fine to me. If it goes on for longer, that's cool too.

[Vicky82]

Looks like Season 5 could be the last season due to the way Greg is commenting. :(:cry:

[CyberCubed]

Its way too early to say anything. Season 5 won't even finish airing till the end of 2017 or later. Its more obvious its too early for Nick to make any decision.

[GoldMutant]

Well... seems the vision of Ciro was right, five seasons to fulfill everything. :) Maybe we'll be proven wrong later this year, but seems 2017/2018 will be the ending, wow I'll either graduate or be near the end of high school if that's the case. I may have issues with Nick, but there is one thing in a show that must be accepted: find a conclusion.

Now Cube, do us a favor and shut up.

[CyberCubed]

A Season 6 won't even air till 2018 at the earliest, its obviously way too early to know anything.

[victory_angel]

Cubed, every series has to look at each season as though it's a last season.
So unless there is a pick up for a new season.

The series has said that the Turtles would be teenagers so long as the story progresses. Even though we haven't revisited the mutation day concept you can only keep them perpetually 15 years old for so long, there is a sense of time passing for the turtles. All of them would be roughly 18 by now and going-on 19 and by the end of season five, they will be pushing 20 at the very least.

[Vicky82]

A Season 6 won't even air till 2018 at the earliest, its obviously way too early to know anything.

Well it obviously takes a year to write and make a episode so if we don't hear anything by Christmas I doubt there will be a season 6.

[NinjaMan]

Sad that season 5 is the end. Shredder becoming super shredder is probably meaning this is the last of the foot clan we see.

[ToTheNines]

Season 6 could start in 2017. Especially since 5 is only 20 episodes.

[CyberCubed]

Well it obviously takes a year to write and make a episode so if we don't hear anything by Christmas I doubt there will be a season 6.

Its also possible they could shorten it to 13 episode seasons. That's something the 2k3 series did towards the end of its run with Season 5 and Season 7.

[Redworld96]

Well it obviously takes a year to write and make a episode so if we don't hear anything by Christmas I doubt there will be a season 6.

Then New York Comic Con could be the best opportunity to announce a possible new season (in case there will be a panel this year).

[NinjaPug]

Reading the follow up responses from Cipes definitely makes it seem like S6 is a long shot at this point. I thought S6 would be the last one but that doesn't look to be the case.

[NinjaMan]

So they finish up the foot this season. I wonder who they would fight for the final season?

That's in reference to his role as Beast Boy on the original Teen Titans, which ran for just 5 seasons.

Cripes was making a reference to Teen Titans where he played Beast Boy and how that ended at 5 seasons. Which is odd, because he's still playing Beast Boy on Teen Titans GO anyway.

I'm talking about his responses to TMNT fans wanting a 6th season.

[snake]

If this is it, I'm happy. We got five seasons and (probably) a planned conclusion. A proper ending is more than ANY other TMNT show got. It's best to see it end now than struggle for season 6 by ending 5 on a cliffhanger or the show getting stale.

It's been a good run, and I'm looking forward to the rest of it. The show's had it's ups and downs, but for the most part it's been a solid entry into the TMNT multiverse.

To the future :tgrin:

[Ninjinister]

Batman....

[Powder]

Guys, his tweet is about Teen Titans...

[shredder orokusaki]

Season 6 can be announed after season 5 begins there is no reason to annonuce it right now. Since Season 5 will start this fall it will end in 1 year from now. They have more than enough time to announce season 6. Dont worry. Both previus shows had more than 6 seasons. Why wouldnt it have at least 6 too?

[shredder orokusaki]

Batman....

Like in IDW comics yes they can travel to Gotham in season 5 and fighting Batman there.

[The Happy One]

Good point, actually. I was also thinking, because Nickelodeon mostly cares about merchandise and the money they can rake in, why wouldn't they milk this show as much as they can? If anything, Turtles bring in a majority of their money show wise. In that not many other shows on their network can really...sell anything.

I don't know. I'd be fine with just 5 seasons- better to end it than to force it to go and run out of ideas. Though, with this franchise, there are literally tons of ideas to get so...?? We'll have to see

[CyberCubed]

Because if this show ends, all the merch associated with the Nick line will end and that's where most of their revenue comes from. Not just the toys, but the stuff like bed sheets, backpacks, sneakers, folders, etc. Everything marketed to little kids.

The only thing Viacom would still have going is the IDW comic, and I doubt they make too much a profit off of it since they share there sales with IDW. Also the Nick animated comic from IDW is likely also getting canceled soon too.

So Viacom would be ending their main source of revenue.

OK, a couple of points here:

TMNT merch is hardly Viacom's main source of revenue, pretty sure they have a lot of things outside of TMNT
You really don't think they could just end the show, wait an arbitrary amount of time and reboot to revitalise the franchise?
Even if TMNT would just be relegated to comics, so what? Why would that matter?

[CyberCubed]

1. I meant their source of TMNT revenue. Most of their sales comes from the cartoon and its merch. The movies bombed, and the IDW comic doesn't make that much money since they share the sales.

2. That would like be a 5+ year wait. They're not going to cancel the cartoon just to start another one in 2-3 years.

3. Because Viacom would likely see that as not doing much with the license.

The first movie didn't bomb. In March 2015, Deadline reported that the film had made a profit of $81.3 million.

http://deadline.com/2015/03/teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-profit-box-office-2014-1201390448/

That number probably increased when Box Office Mojo updated its worldwide total to $493.3 million later that year, an increase from the $485 million total from earlier.

The lastest movie has been a box-office disappointment and the interest in the brand is sadly starting to decline.

[Sabacooza]

Has Viacom/Nick ever revived any of their cartoon properties? I can't remember them doing so. Once TMNT is done, it may be done for good.

[TigerClaw]

Nickelodeon is reviving Rocko's Modern Life as a TV movie.

[CyberCubed]

Uh, yes? Rugrats got a few revivals. So did Avatar if you count Korra as a sequel series.

[victory_angel]

Has Viacom/Nick ever revived any of their cartoon properties? I can't remember them doing so. Once TMNT is done, it may be done for good.

It can also have a Spin off continuation after a few years to breath. Such as how Legend of Korra took place 75 years after Avatar the Last Airbender ended.

So if TMNT ends after season five. Just give things a chance to simmer down for a while...then return to the story where the Turtles are all in their Twenty's. Because just because they are no longer teenagers doesn't mean they are no longer ninja.


Such as maybe begin with a plot line that Splinter has passed away, and with the Shredder and the Kraang no longer a threat to the city. Each of the Turtles have gone their separate ways. One of them remains in the city, but the rest are scattered across the globe.

April and Casey miss their friends but know they need to sort themselves out. April is now a journalist for a newspaper. Casey I can see joining the Army and becoming a leader of the EPF.

The city finds itself under attack of an alien threat, and while the mutants of the city try to face off against it, it's generally agreed that it's time to get the Ninja four back together.

[shredder orokusaki]

When the series ends a new one will begin that what happens with evry tmnt show. And yes as we know Nickelodeon has already rebooted enough of their shows like Avatar for example. The next series can be based on IDW comics .
