Possible Spin-Off Series on the Horizon? - Page 2

*NinjaPug* · 02-26-2015, 03:58 PM

To me, a spin-off would be a continuation of characters already established in the Nick show.

Most of the ideas posted in here would just be different versions of TMNT.

So a Mighty Mutanimals series would work, Given the number of Mutants that's been on the show so far.

Maybe they could do a more 'serious' type show with the older Turtles, having some of the main enemies be Triceratons. I know there might be a bit of a dinosaur frenzy after Jurassic World comes out, so seeing a bunch of Triceraton heavies with BFGs clomping about would look pretty darn cool. They're going to need a credible threat anyway after Shredder and co. kick the bucket, and this could be a way to go about it.

Half-Shelled Heroes seems very likely.

Folks thinking the spin-off would be darker than the current show are probably barking up the wrong tree. Though a series based on the movie universe done similar to Avengers Assemble or the upcoming Guardian's of the Galaxy series certainly is not out of the question.

I expect at least one of the spin-off's under consideration to be something along the lines of Teen Titans Go where action, adventure and story take a back-seat to comedy. That could be Half-Shelled Heroes but I would hope Half-Shelled Heroes would be more akin to the Super Hero Squad Show where it can focus on story but is light in tone and more appropriate for young viewers.

Mighty Mutanimals is great for the comics but they'd have to do a much more affordable to produce show for Mutanimals than the current CGI Turtles. This could be a spring board for a more comedic light show as well that uses Slash as the grumpy straight man and the turtles occasionally cameo.

Someone over at Viacom certainly has interest in the 80s turtles, hence the many cameos and the retro merchandise so I would not put it beyond them to consider doing some shorts or a DTV for the 80s TMNT, another Turtles Forever type thing perhaps.

Let's just hope they don't ruin the narrative of the current show with whatever they intend to do on top of it.

I'm very sure it's going to be a Half-Shell Heroes based show. It'll copy 'The Super Hero Squad Show's formula.

Or something like Teen Titans Go.

*Donatello19* · 02-26-2015, 06:23 PM

I bet it'll be a Half Shell Heroes cartoon or something like that!

*ToTheNines* · 02-26-2015, 06:53 PM

Yeah, they already have the toy line in place for such a show so that seems likely. Can't say I'd be excited for such a thing, I definitely can't see myself tuning in weekly for it.

Hopefully it's something everyone can enjoy, but I don't care what it is as long as it helps the main show stay on the air longer.

Before The Invasion aired, I assumed that there might be a spin-off detailing April and Irma's childhood. Maybe five years before the first episode. And what April's school life is like.

*victory_angel* · 02-26-2015, 07:04 PM

Prequel series-Turtles in Training...

Irma was never real she was a robot for the Kraang the whole time.

*CyberCubed* · 02-26-2015, 07:22 PM

Half-Shell heroes written similarly to Teen Titans Go is the only spinoff I can see happening.

*shredder orokusaki* · 02-27-2015, 02:02 AM

They are already thinking about the next show when ths one has not ended yet?! Maybe it will be a show based on IDW comics and it will have nothing to do with the current cartoon. It makes sense as the IDW comcs have some great story that has potental to become an awesome show. Maybe it is that?!

Well the show may very well not continue after the next season and another TMNT cartoon will happen sooner or later anyway.

*Metalwolf* · 02-27-2015, 05:40 AM

More then likely. They are already bringing in the old VAs for the rumored OT crossover, which is the 'big thing' they intended to do when the show was at it's end. Since they often do everything a year (or a Season) in advance, Season 4 is probably the last season.

Is it still just a rumor though?

Is there any proof of that? Not being a jerk, just curious where you heard this from. Considering they're thinking spin-off it would seem odd that the series would be near an end unless, like most folks are saying, it's a Half-Shell series.

I said before The Invasion aired. And besides, we're not even 100% sure she was a Kraang droid the whole time.

The crossover? No. It's heavily likely not a rumor.

As for doing something with the OT at the end, I think Ciro mentioned something about doing something like that in one of his interviews.

*Bry* · 02-27-2015, 08:41 AM

I'd be really surprised if the show ends that soon. It's still quite popular, it's responsible for bringing TMNT back into the public consciousness in a big way (and has sold a lot of merchandise branded on the show), and was even nominated for a freakin' Emmy. It just strikes me as weird timing to cancel the show and potentially launch a different one while the property's still riding high and there's still plenty of gas in the tank, so to speak. It almost feels like, what if they cancelled the OT in 1991 and launched an entirely new show? I can't imagine why they'd do that.

Then again - logic and Hollywood don't always go hand-in-hand.
