What would you prefer, 1 great TMNT movie or a badass Netflix TMNT show?

Assuming you had to choose just one and assuming the movie would be "Batman Begins"-level good and the Netflix show would be "Daredevil" season 1-level good.

I am greedy, I want both! Hmm, a series would last longer.... and it's ONE good movie rather than a few.... I'll vote when I've thought about for a bit.

I think a movie would reach wider audiences and (hopefully) influence people more. But a show would give us more actual content.

Decisions, decisions... :tlol:

Something like TMNT works better as a TV show than a movie so I chose the latter also make it animated.

A movie is about 2 hours long.

A series would likely go on for many episodes adding up to at least 20 hours of material. The answer is obvious.

My first impulse was to vote for a Netflix show, but honestly thinking about how a movie is usually on a far bigger scale (bigger story, more epic stakes, higher budget etc.), makes me choose that option now.

Fun question.

I'm inclined to say movie, because I still believe it can have a more substantial impact on the franchise, if it is successful.

That said, a netflix series is also appealing. It spares us the required three-act structure ending in a big battle that is growing pretty tiresome for me when it comes to comic book films.

Voted for movie. I’d like it to be a sequel to TMNT 2007.

Gotta say there are pluses to both. Netflix is a bit niche. But I like the idea of a longer running story than 2 maybe 3 hours.

I want a series cause I want to have something to look forward to once a week or however they schedule it.

I know. Would be great if it did, though.

I ended up voting for the Netflix option.

It's something we haven't seen attempted yet and it just sounds promising, in that they could actually give the story some room to breath.

Normally, I'm a quality of quantity type of person, but if I am being given one shot here to get a TMNT product of the highest quality, then with this franchise, I am taking as much as I can get while the gettin' is good. Give me all 8-12 hours of the Netflix show.

I'm just going to be selfish and say both. How is one really to choose between that...

Oof. I'd love a live-action Netflix series (we've had a bunch of animated shows, feels like a waste not to take full advantage of the "freedom" Netflix offers by making it live-action), but as others have said, a really solid live-action movie might do more to jump-start the franchise.

I mean, TV shows are great and there'd obviously be much more content and a lot more to be explored. BUT. General audiences still have the attitude of, "If a franchise is legitimately 'hot', they make a movie, not a TV show." Plus it could help wash away the stain of the last couple films.

Tough question, I abstain. Both would be great.

I'd like to see an anthology animated series. Give me a season that is black and white in the Mirage Universe that we saw at the end of the Turtles Forever show.
Then let's see a different season with a new iteration.
And a third season maybe using the Fugitoid in Dimension X.

Call the show TMNT Universe. And when this is done pay me for the idea here. Hell, I'd consult in story development. ;)

I'd take either but ideally I want a good Movie. If we're talking live action I'm not sure you could so TMNT proper justice on a TV show budget.

Then again after the last movies performance at the box office I'm still shocked they are talking about another movie so soon and would question how much money they would throw behind a big screen outing either.

I'd probably have more faith in a TV show team creatively doing TMNT "right" but in an ideal world I'd take a good TMNT movie over a good TMNT Netflix show. A really good movie could really turn the franchise around (and potentially affect the quality of further TV projects) whereas a Netflix series no matter how good and critically acclaimed would at best would only be used to show Paramount "see this is what TMNT can be" which would be nice but no real guarantee of swaying a bunch of execs dead set on another Fred Wolf-fest.

TV, definitely.

For all the rumors there were of an Obi-Wan movie, I am so glad we are getting a series instead.

The next movie is happening it has alredy be announced. As for the next series it is too early to talk about it as the current series in it second season. But why would Nickelodeon allow netflix which is the worst enemy to make a series? why make a deal with the devil? Netflix will use this deal to hurt nickelodeon somehow. https://www.subscriptioninsider.com/...ws-6729-1.html Here it says it is for shows for kids. Do you know what this means? Another rise like show. If you watched the Inspector gadget 2.0 show on neftlix you will now what iam talking about. This show is way more kiddy and silly than rise of the tmnt and it was created by neflix. Now do we want a tmnt series so stupid and kiddy like Inspector gadget 2.0? No. But what Neflix is doing.

Because Nick just struck a big deal with Netflix like 2 months ago. That's why.

And the next movie has been "announced" in that they have some goons making a script for Platinum Dunes. That doesn't mean anything is greenlit, it means they're exploring a thing.

Me, too. Though I think it's super short like 5 or 6 episodes. Whatever. It can breathe more. I wonder if they're eyeing it as a one and done miniseries or a... open to season 2 affair.

There are so many stories to play out in a gritty dark series , hope they would explore more than one season

If it is a gritty live action TMNT I hope its more structured like Doom Patrol where every episode is its own adventure with some continuity in between instead of Netflix Marvel where it feels like I'm watching a 13 hour movie.

I would be happy with a dark mirage style cartoon series made for the older crowd like the Castlevania series

Strategically 1 good movie will result in a tv show. So you could get both if you play your cards right.

Episodic show would be best. I don't want a 13 hour movie.

The Turtles deserve the big screen, I don't care about the damn Netflix.

thats sad, that would mean not as much turtles

A show would cover more content, so I pick that.

couldn't agree more as long as its quality

10-13 hour long live action episodes of TMNT done right in live action that people can watch on Netflix might move the meter way more than a TMNT movie that nobody might even bother seeing (after audiences being burned by 2 movies in a row). And might change your mind.

I'm talking Daredevil season 1 quality, but like if half of the episodes were like the Nobu episode.

After watching Game of Thrones, it shows a TV show can have big scales, stories and epic stakes. Even though the last two seasons fizzled, you can't deny that episodes like Battle of the Bastards and Hardhome are excellent forms of entertainment, even if it is TV.

With this, if the show is going to be on Netflix, and if they style it more like say Daredevil or The Punisher, then hell yeah, I'm all for it. And besides, with TV shows, you get the little moments which make the characters like the Turtles shine.

As much as I’d love both. I’d have to go with a badass Netflix series.

You sold me on like Daredevil. So, show. Live action, maybe use the prop shop garage suits with some updates.

They had 6 movies on the big-screen, it's not going to make a difference. And any movie will probably just cover the origin and another Shredder fight again, whereas a TV series could cover larger parts of the mythos over time, especially if it goes on a few seasons.

A movie would be around 2 hours long, how much can you really cover in that time but the basics? Introduce the characters, the origin, meet April, explain Shredder the Foot...we've seen it so many times.

A TV series can do so much more. Also in 2020, "online streaming" is basically just as big as movies. This isn't 2005 anymore, "direct to video" is no longer looked down upon.

A series would keep this place busy for longer if it had enough seasons :) Movie would if there was more than one and granted there would still be a lot of before and after discussion even with just one.

I'd make a live action Netflix. Arrowverse/Gargoyles style.

Wouldn't it be great we had a scene that was just one shot like the Daredevil hallway scene?

If a new TMNT goes live action on Netflix in a darker kind of world like Gargoyles & the Arrowverse, I'd go for the turtles in different species like in ROTTMNT.

• Leonardo - Red-Eared Slider
• Raphael - Wood Turtle
• Donatello - Softshell Turtle
• Michelangelo - Box Turtle
• Jennika - Golden Thread Turtle
• Slash - Alligator Snapping Turtle

Plus maybe add some new Foot mutants to join Koya & Bludgeon in their elite. A chameleon & Tasmanian devil would fit well.

Stockman from being a fly in 1987 & 2012 along with being a cyborg in 2003, how about Stockman as a "flyborg"?

You'd have to change the origin. There's no way you'd put a box turtle in the same bowl as a snapping turtle or a red eared slider. It'd be a massacre.

...So have them in separate boxes?

Or better yet, just not mess with what's not broken. Keep them all as red ear sliders, all hatched from the same batch so they are real brothers. The story worked beautifully for 30 plus years, and it's obvious by the lack of ratings for Rise that people just aren't digging the new changes. :P
