A Spinoff is Becoming Increasingly Neccessary

[miru]

How many loose threads do we have hanging right now? And how many of those will the writers bother to address?

• Mutagen Man. Just Mutagen Man. Will he be seen again?
• What happened to Zeno? We know he'll eventually be named Traximus. Whas he killed by the destruction of the Triceraton Mothership?
• Are there Kraang elsewhere in the world? We're kinda tired of them, however, so no rush.
• Are they even gone from NYC yet? I'd say borderline so.
• Are Dr. Cluckingsworth MD and the Punk Frogs gonna do anything signifigant again?
• Why haven't the Mutanimals shown interest in Malachi?
• What are all the wild mutants doing nowadays?
• Do Dregg and Armaggon want revenge on the Turtles? Bellybomb too?
• Is the Creep dead for good?
• Do episodes like "A Foot Too Big" mean ANYTHING in the end?
• Was Ace Duck real? Where is he now? Any more rejected mutants Baxter made?
• Who, exactly, took TigerClaw's tail?
• The whereabouts of April's mom, of course. What about Casey's?
• What about the Kraang who Shredder captured? Where did he go?
• Does Rook have interest in Mike?
• Other than Chris Bradford himself, were the rest of the characters in that show real?
• Why didn't the 2003 Turtles get involved in Trans-Dimensional Turtles? Archie, Image, Movie, TNM, etc Turtles would be just gravy.
• Where did "King" of the Utroms go? Is there a new "Knight"?

With this, I realize the writers may not have time to address them all without rushing some or possibly evoking Voodoo Sharks, I believe a spinoff is in order mainly to address these plot threads. Mutanimals, perhaps? Or they could just allow Amazing Adventures to address them.

what if they addressed these in some way in 'The April O Neil files'

eh, probably not. Well it depends if Tim Hill has payed attention to these details, if he has watched TMNT which should be definite cause if it isn't then we are screwed

Your signature, good sir... where can I find that in higher res? It intrigues me...

[CyberCubed]

None of those points need to be addressed outside of the series.

[The Deadman]

It's normally never a good idea to create a spinoff just to create one, especially if the characters you're trying to center them around arent well known.

This spinoff is made to address plot points left hanging. The sheer number has long gotten on people's nerves.

So you're willing to risk a show crash and burn because plot points havent been addressed?

That's like Nick having a prequel to the Rugrats featuring the adventures of the parents before the kids were born.

[Allio]

You know what would be an even better idea? if they followed up on these plot points in the nick show itself.

Copy it and paste it in the Google images photo search box

It's just stock art poorly traced and presented as an original.

.... those are all things that could be resolved within the show. or not. The show does suffer from plot amnesia.

But then again... Mighty Mutanimals? But for some reason I kinda doubt it will do well unless one of the Turtles cameos in every now and then.

There is no plot amnesia. Its call recurring plots.

[Hero]

Any companion material for this show would be welcome.

[neatoman]

"This show can't tie up it's own loose ends properly, so let's make a different show to tie them up!"

Great idea, I never heard a more flawless concept! But in all honesty it's more likely we'll get another reboot instead.

[victory_angel]

Mutagen Man. Just Mutagen Man. Will he be seen again?

He might eventually. The voice actor who plays him is busy playing the voice of Sonic and is hard to get a hold of. The writers will bring him back to story when they feel it's right

What happened to Zeno? We know he'll eventually be named Traximus. Was he killed by the destruction of the Triceraton Mothership?

We don't know he will be named Traximus, but we know his character was based off Traximus. The production staff felt all the Triceraton's should have a 'Z' somewhere in their names. It is possible we will be able to see him again in a future season.

Are there Kraang elsewhere in the world? We're kinda tired of them, however, so no rush.

Likely as Kurtzman does have historical documents and items such as Egyptian hieroglyphs depicting Kaang. And the Kraang mutated Tiger Claw when he was a human boy. But as much of the series is centered in New York, that is where we are most likely to see the Kraang set their base of operation.

Are they even gone from NYC yet? I'd say borderline so.

I doubt they'd ever be truly gone, from the show entirely.

Are Dr. Cluckingsworth MD and the Punk Frogs gonna do anything significant again?

The punk frogs went towards Louisiana because they have family (by family other frogs) down there. Jon Heder and Maurice LaMarche are celebrity guest voices and have to agree to a contract agreement before being brought on. Each guest voice also has to be factored into an episode budget.

It is possible we could see them again as the last time we see Rasputin is when the fire starts. So if the Punk Frogs are brought back, Rasputin is likely to come back as a villain unless he didn't survive the fire.

As for Cluckingsworth she's looking after the rest of the chickens at the farmhouse and waiting for the Turtles to return.

Why haven't the Mutanimals shown interest in Malachi?

Malachi is voiced by Paul Reubens AKA Peewee Herman, so guest voice. He could already be part of the Mutanimals but hasn't been featured outside of a cameo in Mikey's head, because the episode budget can't afford it. And even then I don't think he's much of a fighter beyond bringing people into his imaginary role play world.

Do Dregg and Armaggon want revenge on the Turtles? Bellybomb too?

Dregg is a crime lord and wants vengeance because the Turtles broke the drugs (They don't specifically say that the Maroklavin Star Spice was drugs in the show so it's purely up to interpretation. But the Star Wars universe, Drugs are known as spice. And even if it wasn't drugs he had been about to sell before the Turtles crashed into him. There was a time where everyday cooking spices such as nutmeg and vanilla were considered rare and valuable and were worth a lot of money.) sell and hurt his reputation. He purely wants to destroy the Turtles out of principle. It's petty yes, but crime lords do have a reputation to keep. And if he lets a group of rubes run into him and make him look like a fool regardless of intent, he can't simply let it go. Because accident or not, it makes the people around him less afraid of him if he simply did nothing.

Armaggon would also want revenge for his defeat and falling down that pit.

Bellybomb doesn't really care either way. All he cares about is the zimulax and himself.

Again contracted celebrity guest voices so their return is only if they get a contract to be on next season.

(Its after 3:30 in the morning and should call it a night as I have a 10 AM wake up in order to be at work at 1:00 PM. So I'm going to tackle the rest these when I get back)

[Splinter the boss]

It's better if all is resolved in the current show since some people might not watch it, but yeah I feel you. I don' want a show with tons of unresolved plots myself.

[oldmanwinters]

"Necessary" is a strong word.

[Ceres]

More importantly...why should Rook be interested in Michelangelo??? Was there a scene i missed? Seriously these questions are probably never answered and imo totally unneccesary to be answered. If we get answers to them , good, if not, well then not.

The only thing here that really bugs me is the Utrom King and the history of Knight and Bishop.

[Utrommaniac]

Yeah, Rook didn't even say a word to Mike, and I kind of doubt she'd be into him anyway. Dude was running around with the skeletal remains of one of her own kind on her head.

As for a replacement Knight, it seems that id not happen.

Shredder probably let the Kraang he captured go once he allied himself with the rest.

Since I'm not tired of the Kraang (but maybe it's time for them to have other plans), I hope for the turtles go on international travels and encounter Kraang at some of the places.
