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.

CyberCubed 08-17-2016 04:45 PM

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

Powder 08-17-2016 04:55 PM

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.

If too crazy, then a story told by Mikey recollecting everything in comic form.

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.

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.

Spoiler:
I'd prefer the ending of City at War (Mirage Volume 1), "Never the end!" of Image Volume 3, or Splinter's death and funeral from Mirage Volume 4. Those feel like emotional real true-to-life endings that DON'T frak over my four favorite reptiles.


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.

Powder 08-17-2016 09:28 PM

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

Spoiler:
I understand it, but I don't like it. I do prefer a little more escapism than Mikey turning into a vengeful wargod. :tlol:


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.

Powder 08-17-2016 10:21 PM

Did you have to spoil the book in both posts?

snake 08-17-2016 10:35 PM

Thanks for giving away some plot points, CKDOM

CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy 08-17-2016 10:36 PM

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.

Powder 08-17-2016 11:33 PM

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

ToTheNines 08-18-2016 05:13 AM

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.

Utrommaniac 08-18-2016 05:34 AM

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.
