what would make TNM better
 

what would make the next mutation better if they remake it?

well,

• Better costumes
• More Shredder
• no Venus. or:
• Give Venus a bit more of character, a better origin
• No magic powers

Hmm I guess better costumes, I was happy with NM Don and NM Raph but the rest I couldn't stand. Try to give them a personality that matched their character and not as annoying like Leo and Mike. Never be offiliated with the Power Rangers again. No VENUS! No Dragon Lord either...more Shredder. Try not to make the show too much like the PR! *was never a fan of Power Rangers*

No Venus, or if she must be, redesign her with no boobs. turtles. don't. have. boobs. and no magic.

No Dork Lord and his stupid little Salacius Crumb wannabe sidekick

Normal bandanas, not this crappy ripped look on Raph, or full head ones...they look funny

and improve the mechanics, voices, and redesign the turtles.

New writers. (FANS!)

I kinda liked the idea of individual bandana styles...but Donny's could have used some work. I mean one big eye slit...gah...any Don fan (and he's my new 2nd fave.) should almost vomit when they see that atrosity. Ever wonder why Raphie is the one who stays the most true to the original mirage style?? (he's the one they kept red and the one they gave the most normal bandana....despite the ragety ness...the fig's bandana isn't bad though...:D. But in my humble opinion, the NM figs were the best thing about the series...)

LOL I am a Don fan and it didn't bother me! *laughs* Yeah new writers! Buslady's right! No Salacious Crumb wannabe!

Taht will never happen, but what the heck

1. Replace Venus with Ninjara and the Mutinanimals
2. Use Archie Characters
3. Make it animated
4. More Shredder

I agree that better costumes are needed, or make it animated. Though the “cels” for that didn’t look all that promising either.

I would change the writing. There were just so many awkward moments in that show (and I don’t mean that the situation called for awkwardness, that’s something else entirely.) And while I’ll admit that sometimes tweaking a character’s personality for the focus group may be necessary, they went farther than they needed to.

I would totally revamp Venus. They made her an awkward character with no reason for this. If they’d shown that her lack of control of her powers, and her attempts to fit in (aka her mutilation of American slang), were the result of the only family she knew being destroyed, her life being uprooted and plopped down into a very different culture, and desperately wanting the security of her new family, all while she tried to combat evil… Yeah, that would gone over better for me.

Wick was damn annoying, give him a more serious personality and lock him in the apothecary lab. Mei-Xing is now the Dragon Lord’s second-in-command. (For those who don’t know, Mei-Xing’s an RPG character of mine.) In fact, all the dragons need to be a bit more intimidating. All the bad guys need to be more intimidating.

I hate it when good potential goes bad.

1.No Venus.
2.Better suits or Animated.
3.Shredder stay's more than one ep.
4.April and Casey.
5.More fighting.

I liked the idea of Venus and the way she was (magic powers and such), but I thought she was creepy looking. Re-vamp her design and I'd like her even more! (keep in mind, I never really saw this series so...)

Jarrah, is that you?

no it me dontebell

So, dontebell, what would you change about TNM then. I mean you started the thread, you should have your own ideas too...

have april and casey in it,sherdder being the main villians agian,venus should be a girlfriend to one of the turtles instead of a sister,costume from the 1st movie and jim hensons workshop should come back and work on the show,plus it should left off from the third movie.

Venus isn't a sister. In fact in NM the turtles aren't brothers. Leo says to Venus, "Were just mutanrt boy and mutant girl....Oh we're not brothers. We petshop turtles born and bred on a turtle farm." :D an attemopt to keep the option of romance alive i reckon

NM Leo annoyed me LOL

I agree with Buslady 100%!!!

...And please! No pro-wrestling looking gear and outfits! They look soooo stupid with it on! :sweatdro: *nearly throws up from TNM turtles' horrible sense of style*

Okay.


The turtles would be related. The whole "not-relatives-so-Venus-can-have-a-relationship" thing is just retarded.
Venus would be way different.
I'd give her a white mask, and she wouldn't beat up the guys and Shredder so easily.
New costumes if live action, but I'd prefer animated.
No Power Rangers. Just please, God, no.

I totally agree with Hannah!! *laughs* You rule!

The best thing about the NM was the toys. I have all the TMNT but Mike, can't seem to find him anywhere. The splinter figure was terrible, but all the others rocked. The weapons could have used improvment, but all else is well.

1. NO VENUS!!! i hate her
2. SHREDDER!!! & the foot
3. some cool henchman (maybe bebop and rocksteady)
4. Of coarse april and casey
5. BETTER COSTUMES!!!
6. A Turtle Van instead of the Hummer(they live in the sewer, how did they get the hummer?????????)
7. Guest badguys, like leatherhead, or slash, or something
8. THE ORIGHINAL WEAPONS!!! (what the hell is leo doing tryin to be conan?)
9. no magical powers!!! (honestly, what is this harry potter?)
10. no stupid masks (leo and raph were ok, but don and mikes were horrible)
11. better mechanics in the mask (i felt like i was watching a bunch of green barneys talking)
12. Beter coriography (thse fight scenes kinda sucked)

My list could go on, but all in all, i could have done a better show myself...most people probably could. They changed things, that were allready great the way they were.

What would I change about TNM? Well, I would've kept the Shredder around as a main villain for more than two episodes. Dragon Lord was interesting, and I think having ol' Shredhead around as a rival would've made for some cool episodes. Of course, Shredder would be revamped so he wouldn't be some corny villain. Keep his funny one-liners to a minimum, get him a scarier costume, and a more serious attitude.

I wouldn't mind seeing Venus join up with the other turtles, but her origin has to be changed. No "fifth turtle at the canister" that Splinter so haphazardly missed seeing. She's gotta get her own story. And with that story, she's got to have more character development. I'd like to see her confusion of American slang to a minimum, or get rid of it all together. Also, no more "Shinobi" nonsense. Just call her a ninja.

OR... As an alternative way of introducing Venus, I'd like to see her as a villain. She can be a mercenary for hire, with Shredder and Dragon Lord acquiring her services every now and then. She wouldn't be a character that'd have to appear in every episode, and her being forced to fight fellow turtles would make for some good character development on both sides.

Mikey's personality needs to be changed as well. He was really weird in TNM (garlic ice cream?! yuck!). He's gotta be more of the jokester rather than an oddball.

For me, no Venus. Period. Her inclusion throws everything off track. IMHO, in keeping with my own view of what the Turtles are, there's no way to make her character work. She simply never should have existed to begin with.
