The fact that the same people responsible for the last two disasters were even being CONSIDERED for a third swing kind of illustrates how screwy things really are, and how nobody involved with the decision-making for this brand really knows what they're doing, or has any kind of long-term plan. If one thing is for sure, it's that absolutely nobody who had a hand in writing, directing, overseeing, or otherwise "crafting" the last two movies should ever be allowed near the brand again.
Everything I've been reading says there is no third PD movie to come and that that's been the case behind closed doors for at least the past year, they just never formally announced it because they didn't know what else to do yet. This will be yet another "full reboot/reimagining" of TMNT and the PD universe is completely dead and buried, according to all pertinent information as of today. So, there's that at least.
And that's definitely a good thing by any stretch. I'm happy that's all over and done with, because nobody could ever objectively claim those films as any kind of victory (both movies on one disc, for $5, and STILL nobody buys the damn things, they just sit and rot in the bin
). But this is still more of a lateral move than a forward one. It's like saying "Man, I'm glad I
only have Hepatitis C and not AIDS." Clearly, man, but c'mon, neither of those things is a "win" and you'd be better off having neither one.
