Villains (and Heroes) the Nick series will NEVER use?
 

What comes to mind?

Personally I don't think we'll ever see any of the Fast Forward antagonists show up. I even heard Ciro Nieli dislikes the 4Kids show. :o

Never heard that before. I know for a long time the people making the show claimed to have never watched it. That always struck me as a bit odd considering that a lot of concepts are borrowed from that series from the start and certainly the inclusion of Hun and the Earth Protection Force shows that they have by now. I know he's claimed to not like the Fred Wolf series though.

As for the question I don't think we'll see Complete Carnage.

Anything from the following:

The Next Mutation
Image (Volume 3)
Platinum Dunes (2014)

I know, I know... easy predictions, right there. :twink:

If using a ton of it in Nick is 'not liking it' then I shudder to think what Nick would be like if he liked it. ;)

Two villains they'll never use: Pinky McFingers and Mr.Ogg. And thank goodness too. :P

99.99991% sure that Venus will never appear in the series. Especially since Peter Laird just hates the sheer mention of her name.

Upset to hear this if its true. But if you watch the show it clearly seems he dosen't want to use anything they contributed to the series except the name hun. Also I doubt we see Ultimate Ninja which is sad because I loved the battle nexus episodes.

Not true considering the EPF have shown up once in awhile.

He said he liked the toys but not the show because is was too different from the comics.

Its rather obvious we won't see the more obscure characters from previous series, there's just no reason to use generic aliens/mutants/humans that never had much popularity to begin with.

You can cross off Bloodsucker at the very least, given he's owned by his creator.

I'm starting to wonder if the Neutrinos will appear at all. They're like the last big original cartoon characters that haven't appeared yet, and there's no info (like upcoming toys or designs), pointing toward them showing up.

Here's hoping it remains that way, those guys definitely should've been left in the past.

You didn't like them in IDW? I mean, Dimension X is slated to have a big part in season 4 so you never know if they'll appear.

According to Brandon Aumon blood sucker was going to appear but was replaced wuth the creep. The same goes with the Terror Bears and Dream Beavers.

Nope. It's just nostalgia pandering with an edgy twist.

So personally I wouldn't cross anything out except for characters that would have copyright problems.

As for anything that can be used that just doesn't seem very likely? Probably characters nobody remembers like all those mobsters from the FW cartoon, or characters people do remember but just not very fondly. For example, Don Turtelli and "real" Irma seems unlikely to me.

In additon, I would not say anything from the Platinum Dunes movies is unlikely just because they're not very popular with the fans. If Nickelodeon wants better synergy in the TMNT brand, I would imagine seeing Sacks pop up for get stupid rich schemes.

Most characters from Fast Forward, Ninja Tribunal and Back to the Sewers.

I doubt he would even appear, I bet Ciro doesn't even like the movie. We don't need Mr. "almost was going to be Shredder" in the series. The REAL Shredder in the series probably has loads of money already. He managed to give Baxter a huge fund for a new lab when the turtles were gone. He couldn't have pulled that lab out his ass, you know. :lol:

Weren't the Kraang controlling the city? And wasn't the city in quarantine during this time? Does being stupid rich even matter in those circumstances?

same, although. The Neutrinos was mentioned by Leatherhead in one off the video games iirc. Hopefully, it's just another name for the Dimension X Newt race.

As well as Karai being Shredder's adopted daughter.

And don't forget their version of Abby Finn- "The Finger".

Kind of doubt we'll see any of the Justice Force, either, though. Nano could be neat, though.

I was going to say that too. Though they could use Wyrm instead.

Well, The Creep was his substitute, but I would looooooove to see Wyrm brought in somehow.

I think Nobody at least has a chance of showing up, if only because he's from Mirage. Come to think of it we haven't seen any superheroes in the Nick cartoon at all, but Nobody can be easily used.

Also Nobody as in the male cop, and not Angel as Nobody from IDW.

My guess is Carter, Venus, all the Fast Forward characters.

If they want to have Nobody in the show, they could just use Kurtzman. He already sort of fits the cop version. But Angel would be cool, too. Angel at all would be great, actually.

I would love to see Usagi Yojimbo( he should be the one who cut off tiger claws tail!) & Old Hob, hopefully he mutates from that maingy old cat you randomly see around alleys in the show.

I never thought we would see Lord Dregg again and lo and behold Nick is bringing him back. So I dunno, obscure characters might not be off limits.

The obscure ones are going to pop up for the final seasons of the show for the filler episodes, probably.

Really? Damn, those eps make a helluva lot more sense now. Thanks!
Terror bears...who owns them?

Pete, I'd figure.

Or Palladium does which is my guess.

Mostly filler baddies from either old series.

I want to see Malinga appear as Lorg Dregg's wife/queen.
