Could still happen, though.

You're right. Shredder wants retromutagen; Donnie is considered sort of the weakest member of the group fighting-wise (Heck, Mikey has TWO weapons!). Growing up, I wonder if Donnie was curious as to why Leo and Raph trained with metal weapons while he was given a stick.

The only way Donnie would join the Foot willingly was if April rejected him, which looks like it's not going to happen after "A Foot Too Big.".....unless there was a huge misunderstanding and Casey lied to Donnie, making him THINK that April didn't want him, but that would be way too douchy on Casey's part.

I actually started a fan fiction awhile back where Donnie goes through something like this. I want to keep writing it, but i have this weird thing about writing AU fan fictions. I like my stories to be as accurate as possible without derailing the original storyline. Still......(sees unfinished documents on computer)

No no no. That plot is extremely offensive. Donnie turning dark just because a girl rejects him. That plot just serves to subliminally tell girls/males that if they reject someone then the person would turn evil and do them harm. Basically herding them into unwanted relationships. You're basically supporting the whole "Girl, if you reject a guy you will die" mentality. Just a poor taste to begin with.

I dunno about you. But shizz like this can be bad for the next generation to get stuck in their head.

A story needs to have a meaning. The Donnie Darko shizz is poor taste and has no reason other then to explore your fantasies. lol Donnie Darko.

I have no clue what they have for this Dark Raph plot. But I know the reason and moral of the story is gonna be about overcoming corruption. There will be no poor tasting subliminal message such as the one present in the whole Dark donnie. Basically reminding me of Twilight, the whole point of the story is to tell girls that their life has no meaning if they don't have a boyfriend.

I think a critically acclaimed author had an opinion about the comparison of Twilight and Harry Potter. It was Stephen King who said this:
“Harry Potter is about confronting fears, finding inner strength and doing
what is right in the face of adversity. Twilight is about how important it
is to have a boyfriend.”
