Continuation or Remake? - Page 2

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 10-30-2009, 07:55 AM

Contiuation. I don't like the computer animation. I like the traditional animation of the 1987 cartoon, better details on the backgrounds, like the houses in town, the automobiles and buses on the street, the Sun in the day, the other stars and the Moon by night, the trees in the park, the aeroplanes and the birds in the sky, the boats in the seaport. Everything looks much better.

If a remake is made, it shall use the traditional animation and be set in the 1980's or early 1990's (with the Internet just for the computer nerds) and not today's "everybody trying to look sexy".

*Icebot* · 10-30-2009, 09:23 AM

I'd like to see a continuation, and I know just how the destroyed Technodrome can be rebuilt. At the end of the series finale, Dregg was pushed into the portal that led to the Technodrome in Dimension X. Throughout that season, he had his microbots which Mung said "they can build whatever you dream in just hours". Now if Dregg survives the explosion and the portal still works (it still worked when the turtles used it in the destroyed Technodrome), Dregg could use it to get in touch with his microbots, and, seeing how huge the Technodrome is, Dregg could find it useful and use his microbots to rebuild the Technodrome.

Then eventually, Shredder and Krang could somehow take the Technodrome back from Dregg now that the microbots have rebuilt it. And they could become the main villains again.

That would be awesome!

anything new would be nice as well as going back to the throwback of the 80's style toon..

I'd love to see a continuation of the classic series. It could be like a "20 years later" kinda thing.

Jelly Bean · 10-30-2009, 12:49 PM

I would like to see a continuation. After watching the 80's toon, I have to say I really like that universe. I mean seriously, what would be the point of doing a remake of the same toon that has 9 years of continuity in it?

Plus a remake make me nervious that they would change the characters to much.

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 10-30-2009, 12:58 PM

Maybe the three Red Sky years/seasons (1994-1996) should be declared unofficial.

Jelly Bean · 10-30-2009, 01:03 PM

what do you mean?

Yeah, right on the '80s cartoon. I don't know how they're going to get it by BS&P though.

Because it won't be a straight-up remake? More like a new version of Turtles heavily inspired by aspects of the '80s toon. I think it's likely we'll see something that plays itself a little more seriously and action-packed, but with all the mutant characters.

Just like the characters are different in every version of Turtles?

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 10-30-2009, 04:56 PM

I don't hope a re-make will include every episode and character, some are silly. The important is to include the main characters (TMNT, Splinter, April O' Neil, Irma Langinstein, Burne Thompson, Casey Jones, Vernon Fenwik, Shredder, Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady and Foot Soldiers and some others, follow the storyline (like Splinter being Hamato Yoshi, Shredder tricking Hamato Yoshi from Japan, Hamato Yoshi leaving for the USA, Shredder arriving to the USA and teaming up with Krang, April and later Irma becoming friends with the TMNT and the Technodrome moving between some locations (musn't be the same) and to make it mostly an action/humor show. I would also like to see the vacation in Europe or the TMNT visiting some other places on the Earth to.

Well, I'd be shocked if it was like a plot-by-plot, episode-by-episode, shot-for-shot remake literally... but tonally, and the overall rough story arcs, a lot of that may look real familiar in the new show.

And what do you mean what would be the point? They don't want to break what was a winning formula... in the eyes of beancounters, why screw with it? And they're not in the business of entertaining the 28 year olds who saw the children's cartoon when they were little tykes... they're in the business of entertaining new little tykes who don't even know how to spell "continuity," let alone what the word even means or entails.

kev trashcan · 10-30-2009, 05:44 PM

i think it should be a crossover with dragon ball z haahahahaha. think about it the dbz characters cans how up and splinter reviels to the turtles his knowledge of energy attacks. plus piccalo is green to so they'll bod with that. the flying cat can chase splinter around comedy obviously follows this. vegetta and casey jone and raph will bash people up together, and the shredder learns to fuse with freeza. mike and archarobi can exchance recipes for pizza, and gohan an don will be study buddys, whil maser roshi try's to look up aprils skirt. and leo and goku train together.

IT WILL BE A NATIONAL TREASURE FOR USA AN JAPAN. plus that kinda star power will end the recession and bring unemployment levels back down

*Kendamu* · 10-30-2009, 06:32 PM

I know that TMNT and Dragonball were both popular on TV at roughly the same point in history, but they're so tonally different that I can't see it happening... even if a small part of me wonders what it would be like to see Son Goku and the Turtles in a pizza eating contest.

kev trashcan · 10-30-2009, 06:58 PM

sarcasm never gets across online, i was just making a joke dude.

butat the same time even though i agree with you, i think it would be like a car crash, so horrible you cant turn away.

**Venom** · 10-30-2009, 10:51 PM

The only thing I'm curious about is seeing if they try to take the new show in a "Ben 10" direction, meaning they start it out as a younger kid's show and graduate it up every few years. What led me to ponder this was reading one of the press releases where one of the Nick execs talked about having the Turtles bringing in more "harder-edged action" to the company in an attempt to draw boys back into the network fold.

Besides, "Ben 10" has used teeny-bop versions of April and Casey for years. >_> Interesting note: Man of Action is a collective of three comic writers who created Ben 10 for CN.

I rather have them keep them as Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Joe Kelly was a story editor and writer for some of episodes of the 2k3 cartoon.

Not seeing the negative here.

Are fans that greedy? I WANT MY VERSION FOR ME AND ME ONLY, NEW GENERATIONS CAN'T HAVE IT!

*Coola Yagami* · 10-31-2009, 02:01 AM

I don't think the Turtles are gonna back to being all-out silly pizza-tossing, banana peel-slippin, curtain-cutting slapstick ninjas. The show will probably have awesome action, but it'll follow the old toon's premise with April being a reporter, Yoshi being Splinter and the Turtles trying to stop Shredder and Krang from ruling the world with the Technodrome.

SSSS · 10-31-2009, 02:13 AM

Yeah, the word 'remake' is being taken a little too literally here. In all likelihood, there'll be lots of new input, new take on old characters, new storylines and arcs, etc from the producers and writers, it'd look like a totally new show. A creative remake, in other words.

You can always create your own TMNT universe, with fanfiction stories.
