Which TMNT story they MUST tell?
 

Which TMNT story from the comic or (2K3) series should they must retell in this series?

My first thought that comes to mind is the Shredder Strikes Back where Leo took on all those foot soldier. We saw them tell this story in the actual movie with Raph and then in 2K3. I feel like this story is a story they should also tell in this series.

What stories do you think they should retell?

I'd really like original stories...but...if they did adapt things, I'd love to see them adapt some Archie stuff, since they haven't before.

Nothing really, but I'd like to see them take various elements.

I would really like to see The River get an adaptation. It is one of my favorite stories. Plus it would be something we haven't seen in animation before. City at War done right would be awesome too. Heck I'd even be down for Tristons Gang War arch

I would actually prefer for them to try something completely different and not just rehash 2K3 storylines.

Though I will admit any comic stories not done in 2K3 would be awesome to see in this series. I agree with pretty much everything Cowabunga Carl said. And I would also love to see "Halls of Lost Legends" animated, but it doesn't really seem like it would fit with the theme of the Nick show from what we have heard.

One character I would really like to see added at some point is Nobody. While not a huge fan of the rest of the Super Hero type characters I always really liked the idea of Nobody because it always seemed to me like it was a brilliant move by the guys to have a friend that's a cop and one of my favorite things about volume 2 of the comics was the fact the character got to take a more active role.

The Future Shark storyline would be cool, sans Ninjara though.

It be hard to do anything Archie since that was based off of OT.

Why, exactly? It distanced it self quite well from the FW series. Have you read some of the comics?

Yeah, same here. I'd prefer it to be all original stuff, but if they were gonna pull other stories I too would like to see something from Archie. They had a good grasp on serious/funny which seems to be the tone of the new show (from what we've read/heard). The storyline with the Aliens & Mikey getting captured comes to mind.

Clearly you read the whole series... :trolleye: C'mon. That's not true.

While it does seem that the Nick cartoon will have moments of relative complexity it seems that overall tone is going to light, funny and irrevant like Don finding experimental governmant tech in a junkyard and Baxter becoming a supervillain after getting fired from his job for being late one time. I doubt The River and particularly City at war fit in with the vibe of the show.

You guys are correct i have not...actually i haven't read any of the TMNT comics. I just assumed the archie stuff was going to be way off out of place and cheesy. You know like them throwing trash cans and a Banana as a villain. :tcry:

Have you seen the original series?

I would like to see Shredder strikes back and return to New York. Love that storyline. I like the Mirage version of it the best. But my only worry is that this ould be the 4th interpretation of it and that mean the story has already been played a lot. Then again Im not sure if I can call the movie one shredder strikes back.BC he struck first

You know what they should of had the 2nd movie as shredder strikes back and Return to NY. Then the third movie could have been set up as CITY AT WAR!!! LOL I need to write storylines lol

I did, I grew up watching it. I haven't watched it since I was a kid though. I remember back then Raph was my first FAVORITE toy i ever got as a kid. I absolutely LOVED HIM!

I loved Slash too, i thought he was so cool.

Ok, I only ask because this:
made it sound like the only exposure to the FW series was what you saw in Turtles Forever...which isn't 100% accurate.

The way I look at it is we really do know nothing. Sure we have heard murmers here and there. There was a private event where some of our fellow dormers went and saw and then talked about what they liked and didn't. Yet there is nothing been produced for us to see 100% which way this show will go. It is with that reasoning I suggest the stories I did.

Now if the show goes with a lighter tone, then good sir you are right and those stories would not work. However I would like to see them if they do try to keep some edge to the show. I do so hope that they do not try to be edgy for its sake alone though.

When we finaly have the show and can see for certain how they decide to go then this speculation can stop, turning to discustion of the new show instead.

Here's another good question. How often should they say Cowabunga and eat Pizza?

...Cowabunga! for Mike´s war-scream,....and eating pizza at the end of the chapter....or in a family context!... :tgrin:

I'd like to see them adapt most of the Eastman & Laird comics plus Return To NY and City at war. Although we have seen a lot of it in the 4 Kids series that was done pretty well there is also probably another generation that hasn't seen it and old turtle fans who never watched the 2k3 show because "it sucked" or something along those lines. The river would be good I agree with that, I am sure there are a few other stories that could be adapted as well.

I think it would be really cool if they adapted issue 1 in a 2 part episode or something and try to do as much as they can for a kids show. That would be cool imo. Although maybe they wouldn't want to reveal to much of the story to early who knows....

I'm really fond of stories like Adventures in Turtle-Sitting/Good Genes, where one of the Turtles is somehow disabled and the other three have to do something without him and they see how important that member is to their team work. It's easy to see why Leo and Don would be important, so that's why I want them to disable Mike and Raph, so Leo and Don would be in a situation they'd really need to have Mike with them, or Raph. Although they can manage themselves in the end of course, it just would be good to know how much of an asset it would be to have a particular Turtle with them.
