Hamato Yoshi Series
 

Anyone else think a spin-off featuring Hamato Yoshi and Oruko Saki would be interesting?

Yes...this would definitely be interesting in my opinion.

That's a neat concept! It would be awesome, even if just a few episodes. It would give viewers a better look at what Yoshi's life was like!:tcool:

Neat for geeks like us, I guess. But it'd never work as an actual show or anything.

The only way it ever would have worked would be if Archie Comics had made a Hamato Yoshi comic book back in the day since it'd be a prequel starring Splinter as a human.

As a short 2-part episode or comic mini-series, maybe.

Interesting, but not enough so to keep my attention for more than a couple episodes.

I could see this working if it was weaved into the narrative of a season. Like every once in awhile we cut to Yoshi doing something relevant to the plot of the current episode or we see a bit of his story at the beginning or end of an episode. The stories could be remembered by Splinter and Saki, possibly sometimes being told to the turtles to teach them a lesson. If it built up to something big involving Yoshi it would be cool. I also think it would add to Splinter's mission to kill Saki.

A movie might be cool.

It would be awesome!

I really only see this working as a comic miniseries/one shot. I couldn't see this happening in animation or film due to the limited interest in the subject. It'd really only be appealing to us hardcore fans.

I don't know, people like kung-fu movies, it could do alright :-).

I think I'd enjoy a miniseries or one shot more too though.

For those who want to see this, see IDW's TMNT #5.

very cool idea!

As is, there's very little material there for a long-term story, so the writers would have to really start creating things from scratch (that's not a detriment necessarily, but it's an important note).

What would be the attraction of the series to the general public? The Turtles wouldn't be stars, so I guess you'd have to go with "Ninja VS Ninja" in mid-20th century Japan.

Meh... I don't think it'd work. I'd watch it, but I'm not the general public. We're a rarity that wouldn't boost the ratings enough to keep it on beyond one season at the most.

It'd be cool as a miniseries, but would flop were it to be an actual series of its own.

Wich TMNT version?
 

For wich TMNT version?

After reading today's Issue #5 I'm even more interested in this, and I think a one shot or story in annual between their history in the IDWverse would be awesome.

You can always write a fanfic about it.
 

You can always write a fanfic about it (his earlier life).

O_o CAN NOT! It's a physical impossibility. :roll:

Archie had one with Hamato Yoshi-Splinter reflecting back of his life.
