RUMOR: Nick Planning Crossover Event For 2018?
 
A few minutes ago, this guy posted the following on Rangerboard:

Nickelodeon is developing an "infinite crisis" style event for 2018. All versions of the Turtles in one TV movie.

Didn't see a thread for this. but let me know if this has been discussed at any point before this

Update: He has since deleted the information about the crossover.

TAKE THIS AS RUMOR UNTIL MORE CAN BE VERIFIED

What about this random internet user is to make me believe anything they say should be taken seriously?

& that spoiled section does not appear in the post you linked, at least not for me.

He edited the post so it wasn't spoiled.

And I figured the first thing to occur in this thread would be negative.

You're providing news without any context or additional information beyond a quote from a random person on a message board. How should anyone know they're not full of crap? Who are they? Why is their word worth taking seriously? What job do these friends of his have?

As for the content itself, this is all I see when I view the link-

:P

If it helps, I'll ask him.

I figured there wouldn't be a valid source for something as far in the future as 2018.

TurtleTitan97 04-20-2015 03:40 PM

Sounds fishy to me.

Sounds as legit as the Bizzie Bones we had on the forum some time back. :lol:

So... you yourself don't even know who this dude is? Why would you share it as news, then?

& why is your post the only one that says anything about a crossover? I posted a screencap of what I see at the link, he talks about merch, that's it.

I can't share TMNT rumors on a TMNT forum now?

You are well within your right to share your findings, it'd just be great if there was a dash of credibility. Why get people hyped up about something that as far as you know could be the hypothetical musings of some forum troll?

He's not a troll. He's a VIP member of that forum.

You're projecting lables on someone you know nothing about

He's edited the post. He obviously said something he shouldn't have.

senpai 04-20-2015 03:50 PM

If its a rumor, just make sure you make that explicit in your post so people do not get their hopes up by anything that ends up unofficial. :)

TheSkeletonMan939 04-20-2015 03:51 PM

He's probably gonna get in an assload of trouble for divulging information for plans not to be known for another three years.

I've made amendments to the first post.

He's edited the post. He obviosuly said something he shouldn't have.

Okay, fine, but his good standing on a Power Rangers forum doesn't exactly instill me with good faith. & you're right, I know nothing about them, & that is what makes this whole thing a bit silly, to me. That was my point. Anywaaaaayyyyy, if this does prove true, it'd be very cool.

Sorry for getting hot and bothered with you, I was the twat there...just don't know what to expect sometimes on here. Cool?

Powder 04-20-2015 03:57 PM

Yeah man, I don't have any problems with you. We're fine.

ZariusTwo 04-20-2015 03:59 PM

I probably got a little over-excited, since I had heard rumblings about them maybe doing another crossover, but discussion of that fizzled out everywhere I looked, and with every big company being obsessed with multi-verse stuff, it just seemed to gel with what's currently current. I should have waited this one out, but the guy seems to have put his foot in it and probably won't say anything else now.

senpai 04-20-2015 04:01 PM

No worries, ZariusTwo ^-^ At least we have some sort of idea for what the future might have in store. Thank you for sharing!

Powder 04-20-2015 04:01 PM

As far as I know, the only thing that's been confirmed is another appearance from the Fred Wolf turtles in the Nick series, & that comes straight from the OT turtles' voice cast.

Beyond that, it's all speculation.

TheSkeletonMan939 04-20-2015 04:02 PM

Nick would have to try pretty hard to top Turtles Forever, in my opinion.

ZariusTwo 04-20-2015 04:04 PM

The thread in question seems to be changing the subject now. Dang it.

TigerClaw 04-20-2015 04:04 PM

Sounds like they are doing another Turtles Forever type thing, Which should be interesting, If they are gonna show all different universes of TMNT, The Black and White comics, Fred Wolf series, 2k3 series, 2012 series, 90s movies, 2007 movie, & 2014 movie.

Vicky82 04-20-2015 04:04 PM

If true, cool but 2018 seems a long way off for just a tv movie but does this mean the Nick show could go on till then.

senpai 04-20-2015 04:06 PM

I'm all for a huge multi-verse crossover as long as its nothing like Turtles Forever. They made the original turtles out to be really stupid when they weren't...

Yes, that was annoying.

But the writers for Turtles Forever were really smart and showed in the end that no team of turtles was "better" than the other. Just different strokes.

Allio 04-20-2015 04:10 PM

meh, they felt more in tune with the later seasons than the earliar seasons. Though I think they were more than likely done that way to be the opposite of the Mirage Turtles.

yellowmario27 04-20-2015 04:15 PM

this idea reminds me of this part :lol:

TigerClaw 04-20-2015 04:19 PM

One thing I hope they not do is, When they go to the 80s Turtles, Not do it as a cell shaded cartoon, But rather, Do the 80s turtles style as CGI, I'm sure they can do it, All the different universes, they can do there classic styles, but in CGI form.

ZariusTwo 04-20-2015 05:32 PM

He's back with merchandising and season four info now

Quote:

It means you'll see more merchandise based on the comics and 2003 series on toy shelves and online. At the moment only the current show, movie and classic cartoon have licensing rights sold.
Quote:

Nick's 2015 licensing pitch mentioned Season 4 is
Spoiler:
set in Dimension X, with the Turtles trying to get back home, but it might not be their dimension they return to.


Autbot_Benz 04-20-2015 05:36 PM

Id rather wait for Brandon or Ciro to announce something over some nobody from a power rangers forum

ZariusTwo 04-20-2015 05:40 PM

I remember those photos of the Next Mutation Turtle heads being taken out of a warehouse when they were prepping for the legendary battle in Power Rangers Super Megaforce last season. Turned a few heads there, but amounted to nothing.

Anyway, I asked him this

Quote:

Any idea on when this news will be confirmed? Licensing Fair? Comic Con?

Jester 04-20-2015 05:44 PM

I wanna say that the Dimension X season 4 info is legit, with Playmates own output of Triceratons, Prof. Honeycutt, and the Dimension X Turtles.

As for the mega-crossover in 2018....that's almost too far to be certain of anything.

Allio 04-20-2015 07:01 PM

*it turns out it really was paramount mikey in that picture

Yeah they will, by UNDOING IT.

Does anybody besides me actually remember what Crisis on Infinite Earths was all about? It's actually not pretty, for all of the multiverse fans. As such, it was basically this: It was about destroying a bunch of universes to make one single universe, the intent behind this to create a unified continuity.

Basically all of the Turtle universe will be destroyed or melded together, so there will be only one definitive 'Turtleverse' left.

So while one might feel momentary joy at the thought of seeing the OT Turtles again, that feeling might be undone once they are absorbed into the definitive universe, pretty much 'canonically' ceasing to exist.

I've mentioned this on the Season 3 info thread, restating much of what I've said here.

Some updates

On news being saved for licensing fairs:

Quote:

The next big shows are in June and October, but unlikely any physical products until 2016/2017. I was at last year's shows and Nick were discussing 2015/2016 product ranges.
