Continuation or Remake?
 

Just wondering since there is alot of room for interpertation on Nickelodean's desire to "fucus on the 80's toon" version of the turtles, theres been alot of speculation going on here. Could they mean they want to revive the old series with a continuation of that universe where it left off in season 10? Or Do you think they want to just take the same idea of the 80's cartoon and do a remake of of that universe with different scenarios and orgins for the same characters that have already been introduced in the orginal series?

Well I wondering what every one would prefere if the Nick decided to do one of these two things? Since they are going to concentrate on the 80's turtles, would you like that it was a contiuation of the old toon or a remake of the 80's toon?

hopefully they'll make something new

remake and hopefully get Cam Clarke and Rob Paulsen as part of their voice cast. (They don't HAVE to reprise their previous TMNT Roles, if they did that would be sweet!)

Its more likely that it'll be an adult show based exclusively on the Mirage universe that will only air on Nicks new adult block at night than this being a continuation of the 80s show.

Don't you go getting my hopes up!
I'm over here trying to convince myself that it's going to be a toddler show a la The Teletubbies, that way no matter what really happens, I won't be disappointed.

I... really don't know what to choose! *explodes*

Complete indifference (you might as well ask, "Do you want me to punch you in the face or kick you in the nuts?"). Either option is creatively bankrupt... but then it's for 6 year olds, not 28 year olds.

Indifference?! Being punched in the face is obviously the best option of the two. Or so I've heard.

I dunno. I've never had permenant damage from a kick to the balls. A punch to the face, on the other hand...

Yeah, your nose could be broken, or you could lose a tooth or detach a retina.

I've never heard of anyone breaking or busting a nut. At least in the context we're talking about.

All good points. I'm ashamed of my lack of knowlegde of fistfights consecuences.

I'd personally like to see a remake of the original cartoon with most of the same characters but to have a greater focus on the history with Japan and the martial arts and stuff as well as more dire situations. I'd also like to have more Technodrome episodes but I'd hope it wouldn't be where the Technodrome is ALWAYS moving or on the run. I'd also like a continuing storyline instead of individual episodes. And of course, it should start from the beginning as well.

I can't believe I actually have a link to this, but I SWEAR it was just on Fark.

/apologies for the derail.
//and for potentially ruining your collective afternoons.

You're such a ball-buster.

I thinking it will be a new continuity that uses many of the characters from the 80's toon, not a continuation.

You really like Venus don't you.. Well I prefer April, OMG your perves like TURTLES ALOT LOL! Well Turtles are influenced by Frankenstain and Nemo, go to "Huge News: Nick aquares Global Rights to TMNT" for details XD!

I'd prefer a remake with Splinter starting out as a rat. April can work as a reporter- but please put more of Casey. And keep the sarcastic Raphael- he is the most tolerable version of this character.

Personally, I'd like something that's close to what we got with Archie, but with a few elements from other universes mixed in.

I second this. I've always felt the ninja, or ninjitsu aspects were not enough. Would be nice to emphasize more on this to balance out the sci-fi elements. And more drome is good! And a new drome toy to go with.

There going to f**k us?

Contiuation
 

Contiuation. I don't like the computer animation. I like the traditional animation of the 1987 cartoon, better details on the backgrounds, like the houses in town, the automobiles and buses on the street, the Sun in the day, the other stars and the Moon by night, the trees in the park, the aeroplanes and the birds in the sky, the boats in the seaport. Everything looks much better.

If a remake is made, it shall use the traditional animation and be set in the 1980's or early 1990's (with the Internet just for the computer nerds) and not today's "everybody trying to look sexy".

I'd like to see a continuation, and I know just how the destroyed Technodrome can be rebuilt. At the end of the series finale, Dregg was pushed into the portal that led to the Technodrome in Dimension X. Throughout that season, he had his microbots which Mung said "they can build whatever you dream in just hours". Now if Dregg survives the explosion and the portal still works (it still worked when the turtles used it in the destroyed Technodrome), Dregg could use it to get in touch with his microbots, and, seeing how huge the Technodrome is, Dregg could find it useful and use his microbots to rebuild the Technodrome.

Then eventually, Shredder and Krang could somehow take the Technodrome back from Dregg now that the microbots have rebuilt it. And they could become the main villains again.:) That would be awesome!

anything new would be nice as well as going back to the throwback of the 80's style toon..

If it was a typo, it shouldn't have been.

I'd love to see a continuation of the classic series. It could be like a "20 years later" kinda thing.

I would like to see a continuation. After watching the 80's toon, I have to say I really like that universe. I mean seriously, what would be the point of doing a remake of the same toon that has 9 years of continuity in it?

Plus a remake make me nervious that they would change the characters to much.

Red Sky
 

Maybe the three Red Sky years/seasons (1994-1996) should be declared unofficial.

what do you mean?

Yeah, right on the '80s cartoon. I don't know how they're going to get it by BS&P though.

Because it won't be a straight-up remake? More like a new version of Turtles heavily inspired by aspects of the '80s toon. I think it's likely we'll see something that plays itself a little more seriously and action-packed, but with all the mutant characters.

Just like the characters are different in every version of Turtles?

Silly episodes and characters
 

I don't hope a re-make will include every episode and character, some are silly. The important is to include the main characters (TMNT, Splinter, April O' Neil, Irma Langinstein, Burne Thompson, Casey Jones, Vernon Fenwik, Shredder, Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady and Foot Soldiers and some others, follow the storyline (like Splinter being Hamato Yoshi, Shredder tricking Hamato Yoshi from Japan, Hamato Yoshi leaving for the USA, Shredder arriving to the USA and teaming up with Krang, April and later Irma becoming friends with the TMNT and the Technodrome moving between some locations (musn't be the same) and to make it mostly an action/humor show. I would also like to see the vacation in Europe or the TMNT visiting some other places on the Earth to.

Well, I'd be shocked if it was like a plot-by-plot, episode-by-episode, shot-for-shot remake literally... but tonally, and the overall rough story arcs, a lot of that may look real familiar in the new show.

And what do you mean what would be the point? They don't want to break what was a winning formula... in the eyes of beancounters, why screw with it? And they're not in the business of entertaining the 28 year olds who saw the children's cartoon when they were little tykes... they're in the business of entertaining new little tykes who don't even know how to spell "continuity," let alone what the word even means or entails.

i think it should be a crossover with dragon ball z haahahahaha. think about it the dbz characters cans how up and splinter reviels to the turtles his knowledge of energy attacks. plus piccalo is green to so they'll bod with that. the flying cat can chase splinter around comedy obviously follows this. vegetta and casey jone and raph will bash people up together, and the shredder learns to fuse with freeza. mike and archarobi can exchance recipes for pizza, and gohan an don will be study buddys, whil maser roshi try's to look up aprils skirt. and leo and goku train together.

IT WILL BE A NATIONAL TREASURE FOR USA AN JAPAN. plus that kinda star power will end the recession and bring unemployment levels back down

I know that TMNT and Dragonball were both popular on TV at roughly the same point in history, but they're so tonally different that I can't see it happening... even if a small part of me wonders what it would be like to see Son Goku and the Turtles in a pizza eating contest.

sarcasm never gets across online, i was just making a joke dude.

butat the same time even though i agree with you, i think it would be like a car crash, so horrible you cant turn away.

The only thing I'm curious about is seeing if they try to take the new show in a "Ben 10" direction, meaning they start it out as a younger kid's show and graduate it up every few years. What led me to ponder this was reading one of the press releases where one of the Nick execs talked about having the Turtles bringing in more "harder-edged action" to the company in an attempt to draw boys back into the network fold.

Besides, "Ben 10" has used teeny-bop versions of April and Casey for years. >_> Interesting note: Man of Action is a collective of three comic writers who created Ben 10 for CN.

I rather have them keep them as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Joe Kelly was a story editor and writer for some of episodes of the 2k3 cartoon.

Not seeing the negative here.

Are fans that greedy? I WANT MY VERSION FOR ME AND ME ONLY, NEW GENERATIONS CAN'T HAVE IT!

I don't think the Turtles are gonna back to being all-out silly pizza-tossing, banana peel-slippin, curtain-cutting slapstick ninjas. The show will probably have awesome action, but it'll follow the old toon's premise with April being a reporter, Yoshi being Splinter and the Turtles trying to stop Shredder and Krang from ruling the world with the Technodrome.

Yeah, the word 'remake' is being taken a little too literally here. In all likelihood, there'll be lots of new input, new take on old characters, new storylines and arcs, etc from the producers and writers, it'd look like a totally new show. A creative remake, in other words.
