If there was a definitive end
 

If there was a Definitive end to TMNT altogether. One last story and then it's completely done. How would you want it to end?

serious replys only.

I'd like tmnt to end with one final fight with Shredder.

I love how this topic gives us no idea what universe he's talking about.

I think he just means in general. Like if the franchise were to be killed off by the cosmos & we were to get that one final story, be it in comic/film/animated form.

The turtles combat something extremely powerful near the end of their lives. Have the ending be bittersweet.

Considering the cycle of TMNT usually having something bittersweet, I'd personally like to see them combat one finale threat together. Something that can powerfully threaten their world. (Dragonlord, Lord Dregg, Tengu Shredder, Krang if done seriously, or Savanti Romero) However, there's a twist: said villain actually succeeds in destroying that incarnation and the Turtles barely escape it. They could then be whisked away by Renet or another ally to fully reverse it and make sure the world is set in stone.

Now, I'd need to read Odyssey myself so I don't know if this idea would be similar: a friend and I have thought of a Days of Future Past scenario for the Turtles. Depending on how time travel was done and multiverse theories, the Turtles of said incarnation would meet Mirage Mikey (was he the first Turtle ever made? Either way, whichever Turtle Laird and Eastman made first) and have to reverse the chaos alongside allies from the various worlds. For example, the other allies could consist of:

• FW Raph
• Movie trilogy Casey or Leo
• Venus from Next Mutation (very strong if here)
• 2k3 Don

Any incarnation you so choose (except PD, it gets blown up. :trazz:), but the Turtles of the current incarnation die in the final battle. The world is restored either way, but the heroes we've come to know and love will have died.

...The idea's probably loony, but something to utilize the franchise to it's full potential. A massive love letter from every incarnation over the years, but focused on the main team from the particular series.

:tlol:

uhm.
 

Definitive: (of a conclusion or agreement) done or reached decisively and with authority.

End: come or bring to a final point; finish.

All of it. Forever. Pretty cut and dry. Get some knowledge bruh.

Is that what odyssey is? All I know about it is that it's an unofficial send off to mirage. It certainly has my interest now.

Speaking of which snake, here's a link to it. :)

Not Odyssey. I hate Odyssey.

I love Andrew's other work, but I hate the family breaking up in Odyssey. Don't like it at all. Not the definitive end I would want to see.



EDITED TO ADD: By which I mean, I'd prefer those to either have been the definitive ends of the TMNT franchise, or for whatever new definitive end came along to follow along those lines. Emotional but not slit-your-wrists depressing.

That's how Mirage is, that's how life is. Nobody's guaranteed a happy ending, that's kinda the point of Mirage.

From my POV, Odyssey was not bittersweet. Out of balance, not enough sweet to offset the sweet.

I'm glad most people liked it though... and I do appreciate all the crap, time, and money Andrew went through to make it happen.

Did you have to spoil the book in both posts?

Thanks for giving away some plot points, CKDOM

It's been out long enough and a free PDF is available.

I'm not saying Jon Snow died the morning after the episode aired. Gonna call "no foul" on this one.

You literally ruined the ending. Rather than split hairs, you could just edit your post.

I was ready to move on from TMNT after Turtles Forever. It was perfect. But IDW and Nick roped me back in.

I liked Odyssey a lot. Rough stuff for the Mirage boys, but still had that Never The End feeling for Turtles as a whole.

As for an end to it all? I never want it to end, even after I'm over it and/or dead.

My thinking is that it would just sort of fade into obscurity. In the same way as The Flintstones or most other Hanna Barbara cartoons. There really wouldn't be a big ending, just a quiet ending where there are only very few left who care. "The universe won't die with a bang, but with a whimper", as they say.

Oh go seduce a porcupine.

Next time, tell me in a less asshat manner and I'll be happy to make changes and/or even apologize.

Why so aggro, man? I didn't think Powder was being that rude.

I'm not having the best of weeks, and if I was overly "aggro" (that sounds like a commercial fertilizer) then let Powder call me an asshat and I'll apologize.

Sorry bud. Hope all is well.

nah
 

You're fine. some people are just stuck up. schadenfreude at it's finest on these boards for some.

Shut up, crumb. Why try to worsen the situation?

All Brandons hate me, it's just one of those weird cosmic laws. I've come to accept it.

Even Brandon Auman?

Ah, nevermind. :tlol: We get on just fine. Maybe that's not his real name! :trazz:

I've always been fond of the implied ending we get from the Palladium games.
An ancient one-eyed Raph with dementia is the last turtle standing in a world now fully populated with mutants.

Off topic, but I never got the chance to meet Auman but Ciro seemed to like me. He even told me about Armaggon coming a year before he appeared.

Man, I've never met a TMNT staffer but I'd totally **** it up. I met my favorite guitarist once before a show and was just a total goober. I didn't totally ruin it, but I was definitely star struck.

I never really thought about how I'd end TMNT, or want it to end for that matter.

It's one of those things I'd never want to see to be honest.

Though I felt Turtles Forever felt like a nice closing chapter to "my era" of TMNT, allowing me to not over analyze or criticize any future incarnations, as off base as they may be to me (PD, looking at you.)

Its hard to believe what the TMNT franchise might be like 10-20 years from now. We could have something like up to 6 TMNT cartoons, another new comic continuity after IDW's ends, etc.

Compared to virtually any other comic or superhero franchise, TMNT is still practically in its infancy at only a little over 30 years old.

I would never want it to end so I dont know but I came up with a couple ideas.

A Turtles Forever style crossover happens but one turtle from each universe gets stuck in another leaving them to live in THAT universe with THOSE turtles for good or at least for a whole season.

Each universe would have all 4 turtles but each would be from one of the universes. So we now have a team like...Mirage Leo, Nick Mike, OT Raph and 4kids Don.

Another idea is have the turtles have kids of their own who they train to carry on when they get old. The "kids" could be pets they each raise and then purposely mutate. Not necessarily more turtles...just animals they like or think would make a strong team.

Actually this could be an end. Have the new team of animals be a spinoff franchise. The turtles just retire from fighting and take a Splinter role.

Since Playmates is so crappy now I think I know what they would do. LEGO released a ****** wave called Bionicle Stars when it was ending (before its reboot) and they were about Playmates level of bad. I decided to make this picture cause its probably what Playmates would do as their final wave of TMNT toys.
Also its just a joke, so try not to freak out and call me a troll and stuff.

Mikey is on the villains side cause I couldn't fit him in a better spot.

I would have hoped a final fight in the 1987 tune. The Lord Dregg ending was good but I thought it could have ended in a different way

In the Red Sky Seasons, Krang gets his android body back and the Technodrome repaired. Rock Soldiers and Foot Soldiers as well as members of the Rogues like Chrome Dome and Tempestra show up.

The Turtles know they are outmatched and enlist the help of Casey Jones, Carter, Splinter, Usagi, Mondo Gecko, Krakus, Landor and Merrick the Punk Frogs and so forth.

The technodrome is loose. A final battle between the Turtles, and Shredder start but ultimately ends with Splinter and Shredder

The Technodrome explodes and it seems to be over but Krang survives and grows huge like he did last time and a final confrontation takes place where Krang is finally defeated.

If anything, as a kid I always wanted Shredder to come to his senses and turn on Krang, and kind of go out a good guy.

Turtles Forever really did seem like not only a very good way for the 4Kids series to end, but a great way for the franchise to have come to an end. Not that I would've wanted the franchise to die after the 4Kids series, but TF would've at least gave it a nice send off.
