What would you prefer, 1 great TMNT movie or a badass Netflix TMNT show?

*Andrew NDB* · 12-23-2019, 12:10 PM

Assuming you had to choose just one and assuming the movie would be "Batman Begins"-level good and the Netflix show would be "Daredevil" season 1-level good.

*newfan* · 12-23-2019, 12:15 PM

I am greedy, I want both! Hmm, a series would last longer.... and it's ONE good movie rather than a few.... I'll vote when I've thought about for a bit.

*CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy* · 12-23-2019, 12:18 PM

I think a movie would reach wider audiences and (hopefully) influence people more. But a show would give us more actual content.

Decisions, decisions...

*PApagreg* · 12-23-2019, 12:21 PM

Something like TMNT works better as a TV show than a movie so I chose the latter also make it animated.

*CyberCubed* · 12-23-2019, 12:22 PM

A movie is about 2 hours long.

A series would likely go on for many episodes adding up to at least 20 hours of material. The answer is obvious.

*FredWolfLeonardo* · 12-23-2019, 02:32 PM

My first impulse was to vote for a Netflix show, but honestly thinking about how a movie is usually on a far bigger scale (bigger story, more epic stakes, higher budget etc.), makes me choose that option now.

~~AquaParade~~ · 12-23-2019, 02:53 PM

Fun question.

I'm inclined to say movie, because I still believe it can have a more substantial impact on the franchise, if it is successful.

That said, a netflix series is also appealing. It spares us the required three-act structure ending in a big battle that is growing pretty tiresome for me when it comes to comic book films.

*Wesley* · 12-23-2019, 03:22 PM

Voted for movie. I’d like it to be a sequel to TMNT 2007.

Gotta say there are pluses to both. Netflix is a bit niche. But I like the idea of a longer running story than 2 maybe 3 hours.

*wpugh2424* · 12-23-2019, 04:26 PM

I want a series cause I want to have something to look forward to once a week or however they schedule it.

I know. Would be great if it did, though.

~~AquaParade~~ · 12-23-2019, 05:32 PM

I ended up voting for the Netflix option.

It's something we haven't seen attempted yet and it just sounds promising, in that they could actually give the story some room to breath.

Normally, I'm a quality of quantity type of person, but if I am being given one shot here to get a TMNT product of the highest quality, then with this franchise, I am taking as much as I can get while the gettin' is good. Give me all 8-12 hours of the Netflix show.

*IndigoErth* · 12-23-2019, 05:34 PM

I'm just going to be selfish and say both. How is one really to choose between that...

~~Leo656~~ · 12-23-2019, 05:38 PM

Oof. I'd love a live-action Netflix series (we've had a bunch of animated shows, feels like a waste not to take full advantage of the "freedom" Netflix offers by making it live-action), but as others have said, a really solid live-action movie might do more to jump-start the franchise.

I mean, TV shows are great and there'd obviously be much more content and a lot more to be explored. BUT. General audiences still have the attitude of, "If a franchise is legitimately 'hot', they make a movie, not a TV show." Plus it could help wash away the stain of the last couple films.

Tough question, I abstain. Both would be great.

*IMJ* · 12-23-2019, 05:46 PM

I'd like to see an anthology animated series. Give me a season that is black and white in the Mirage Universe that we saw at the end of the Turtles Forever show.
Then let's see a different season with a new iteration.
And a third season maybe using the Fugitoid in Dimension X.

Call the show TMNT Universe. And when this is done pay me for the idea here. Hell, I'd consult in story development.

*Galactus* · 12-23-2019, 07:31 PM

I'd take either but ideally I want a good Movie. If we're talking live action I'm not sure you could so TMNT proper justice on a TV show budget.

Then again after the last movies performance at the box office I'm still shocked they are talking about another movie so soon and would question how much money they would throw behind a big screen outing either.

I'd probably have more faith in a TV show team creatively doing TMNT "right" but in an ideal world I'd take a good TMNT movie over a good TMNT Netflix show. A really good movie could really turn the franchise around (and potentially affect the quality of further TV projects) whereas a Netflix series no matter how good and critically acclaimed would at best would only be used to show Paramount "see this is what TMNT can be" which would be nice but no real guarantee of swaying a bunch of execs dead set on another Fred Wolf-fest.

*Roseangelo* · 12-23-2019, 07:43 PM

TV, definitely.

For all the rumors there were of an Obi-Wan movie, I am so glad we are getting a series instead.

*shredder orokusaki* · 12-24-2019, 01:21 AM

The next movie is happening it has alredy be announced. As for the next series it is too early to talk about it as the current series in it second season. But why would Nickelodeon allow netflix which is the worst enemy to make a series? why make a deal with the devil? Netflix will use this deal to hurt nickelodeon somehow. https://www.subscriptioninsider.com/...ws-6729-1.html Here it says it is for shows for kids. Do you know what this means? Another rise like show. If you watched the Inspector gadget 2.0 show on neftlix you will now what iam talking about. This show is way more kiddy and silly than rise of the tmnt and it was created by neflix. Now do we want a tmnt series so stupid and kiddy like Inspector gadget 2.0? No. But what Neflix is doing.

Because Nick just struck a big deal with Netflix like 2 months ago. That's why.

And the next movie has been "announced" in that they have some goons making a script for Platinum Dunes. That doesn't mean anything is greenlit, it means they're exploring a thing.

Me, too. Though I think it's super short like 5 or 6 episodes. Whatever. It can breathe more. I wonder if they're eyeing it as a one and done miniseries or a... open to season 2 affair.
