I agree I would love to them adapt that into an episode!!!!!!
The only problem I see is that TMNT was only suppose to be a oneshot issue, if I recall correctly.

This series definitely needs story arcs. 2 part episodes even 4 parts. One of the things I didn't like in Fast Forward is the lack of story arcs.

I'd be happy if they adapted something from the Archie series, but that's just the Ninjara fangirl in me talking. lol

>> had story arcs (well, maybe just a story arc)...they just weren't multi-part episodes. There is a (subtle) difference.

Yup, i just love the to be continued arcs that leave you at the edge of your seats. I remember the 90's X-Men toon did this, i couldn't wait back then to watch the next episode. Justice League did this, 2K3 did this. It was great, they all had great stories.

Yet there is nothing been produced for us to see 100% which way this show will go. It is with that reasoning I suggest the stories I did.

Now if the show goes with a lighter tone, then good sir you are right and those stories would not work. However I would like to see them if they do try to keep some edge to the show. I do so hope that they do not try to be edgy for its sake alone though.

When we finaly have the show and can see for certain how they decide to go then this speculation can stop, turning to discustion of the new show instead.

They've made it clear it clear from the start the show would have a more comedic tone. The fans that went to the Nick event have relayed specific informarion on some of the concepts, backstory and plots that they will feature in the show.

We've also had their detailed description of an animatic which if I've interpreted correctly will be made into an episode. That in itself is a fair amount to make a judgement on the tone of the show and the characters and their world.

Now this could be misleading, afterall basing the show on one episode isn't that wise. Afterall if we showed say...The Unconvincing Turtle Titan to someone who's never watched the 2k3 show they'd get the wrong impression of what the show was about but it's not like we have zero to make a judgement on.

I would love to see an adaptation of Sky Highway.

That's an awesome idea that had not crossed my mind. I'm definitely down for "The River", as well.

What makes me nervous is, i read from one of the bloggers that it has a sponge bob sense of humor tone. I don't think i like that, how can you have that and then have a story like the river for TMNT?

The thing is it could even vary episode to episode, I mean look at 2k3. Some episodes where rather off the wall and goofy while others were down right scary or serious.

**Jester** · 04-21-2011, 04:31 PM

Who said it had a Sponge Bob sensibility?

*Jephael* · 04-21-2011, 06:08 PM

I thought the show was going to be like Teen Titans.

Yikes...color me slightly concerned. I've never been a huge fan of Sponge Bob, but shows that have many layers I have liked in the past. When I read the article the thing that came to mind was Animaniacs. I watch it now and still laugh because there are jokes I catch now.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 04-21-2011, 08:41 PM

My point being is that until something airs as the finished product and we can see more then one episode it is hard to tell what tone this will take. Offten times the first season is all over the place and it isn't tell the second season we get the actual tone of something. Like was stated, if you showed someone the Turtle Titan episode it would give them the impresion that the last show was goofy and campy. That wasn't the case. I guess I've just reached the point I want to speculate and answer questions like this for fun. Untill the show actually comes out I'm not going to try and say it is going to be one way or another.

*ZariusTwo* · 04-22-2011, 05:09 AM

I hope they stay away from adapting comic stories, we've been there and done that with the 23k show, let's do something different, the original series went 10 years without adapting squat.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 04-22-2011, 08:00 AM

I would like a mix. There are plenty of stories left to tell that 2k3 didn't tuch or that they changed enough that this new show could tell the same story but be enough different that it wouldn't be exactly the same.

I second this. Especially The River. I need to see The River animated. Rick Veitch really did something special with that story.

*Cowabunga Carl* · 04-22-2011, 11:21 AM

You know what would be really nice to see, but I don't think it will happen, is for Nick to do what DC and Marvel are doing. Make animated movies of storylines. They could market them to the older crowd. It would be great. The show for the youngsters and the DTV movies for the older group.
