Who Should Acquire TMNT?

[The True Shredder]

after seeing the polls I can conclude that The TMNT fan base is one of the most confused fanbases I ever seen for a franchise. I see now why there has been more reboots than sequels recently. But it appears that the fanbase agrees on one majority wise. They much rather see a child version of TMNT rather than a "Dark" and "Gritty"

I'm not a fan of Marvel/Disney but if they got the rights I can guarantee it will be more kid friendly than Nick....and God forbid sugary....

I think WB would be best, they have DC, Mortal Kombat, Looney Tunes, etc...just more adult friendly and edgier stuff that can still appeal to kids. They'd fit right in with WB. They wouldn't be muzzled and they would be allowed to explore darker themes and possibilities in a more adult way....Young Justice was able to do it, why not Ninja Turtles?

Imagine a Ninja Turtle game by Rocksteady Studios........One can dream, right?

WB. At least then we might finally get some DVDs for the 2K3 series.

Turtles is doing just fine where it is, thanks.

This. Even if many of us would vary in just how to do that so there still might need to be a variety.

Honestly the fact that society seems to maintain a "just for kids" view of the Turtles makes me sad. Other generations superheros were not socially decided to have to remain in the kids department; a lifelong 70-year-old Superman fan would not be judged for still being a fan and have their favored hero considered just for kids. I have no issue sharing the Turtles, whom were born into my generation, with all the younger generations behind us, just as the original generations of Superman, etc share with all of us... But that my generation (and the young adults right behind us) should have to just hand over the keys to our special hero guys rather than unlocking the door and share the ride...

I don't really think there is a demand for an Adult Version of TMNT to begin with.

Honestly at this point while I get better used to this new movie version they could just go along with something like that and keep their age rather nonspecific other than they're considered grown, that would be enough for me. There's no reason they can't still be goofy and loveable at times even if grown, plenty of adults are.

I'm sold on that.

Right? Also, so there's no confusion, Which, maybe there was, I'd meant that the adult TMNT would be a tonal shift, not necessarily an age change.

When I think about the TMNT I grew up with, it wasn't OT.
It was this:








Which, when I saw the trailer for the new Mad Max: Fury Road, All I could think was, - that's it...that's the raw, aggressive feeling of adventure missing from TMNT these days. If you ever played the games, you know what I'm talking about. There's an epicness, not in the Internet sense of the word, where it's lost all meaning, but in the true sense, when it's used to depict the vastness of a really great adventure story. If you've never played the game, it's really hard to explain.

Keep the animation rights at nick, sell film rights to...WB.

[Commenter 42]

WB is a hard sell...They'd want to update them too...

You are only just assuming that I hate 2012 TMNT. Maybe just maybe people actually like 2k3 better than 2012 show. Key word here is better. I like both shows only I prefer 2k3. Is that Trolling now? And I merely wanted you to back up your claims of what you just said Please enlighten us. .

You closed a thread with your comment about the Nick series. What else was I supposed to think? Something about a dogs butt wasn't it?

It's difficult to know if you're serious or not the way you post.

I see my reputation preceeds myself. And no it wasn't for the 2012 show it was for the movie. After all this is the movie thread btw.

I don't see anything that says that.


I wonder though, wouldn't the original version be the "true" versiono of something? Maybe not, now that I think about it.


edit: forgot about the topic. I think HBO could pull of a good one, Netflix too. FX possibly could do something, I mean they have Sons. AMC has Walking Dead, so they could work too.

Okay then, sorry, I somehow read 2012. Honest mistake. With all the arguing around here...

I've already written a what if scenario over on this thread. if you're genuinely interested, take a look:

And some other posts about what makes the Turtles interesting, and not just cardboard "heroes". Frankly, I'd rather engage in these sorts of discussions, TBO.
