The ALMOST New Season

[BubblyShell22]

Hmmm, that sounds good.

How about TMNT: M.D.? Where Don is joined by none other that Dr. Gregory House and they must solve medical mysteries.

Okay, I'm just joking here. But it would be cool.

[Drtooth]

How about TMNT and...whatever the hell this is...



Yep. That's the sign we've got off topic and became too silly.

Does anyone have any idea what they're going to do? Seems their running out of time to put something together. This thing's supposed to air in less than a year.

[odupianist]

It's Gonzo Dr. Tooth, jeez, a Muppet fan should now that. lol I think Don should be joined by Doogie Howser. I think with only a year left, they've got two quick options, go back to the original 2k3 style or continue with FF. There's no time for new ideas right now.

[BubblyShell22]

Well, I like House, so that's why I said that. Well, they can't continue with FF because that's been canned, and I doubt they'll bring 2K3 back, though I'd like them to do so. I guess we'll just have to wait and see. At least we'll get Ninja Tribunal next year, which is something.

[Mr. Stay Puft]

How about this. TMNT: Sliders. In an effort to return to their time, they somehow become derailed from the timeline. They spend an entire season hopping from one reality to another, ranging from Archie, OT, Mirage, Overload, Superworld, SaiNW, Superturtles, Shredderville, Dimension X, etc., in an effort to return to the 2k3 reality. This way, everyone's happy but at the same time, no one's happy since it's such a god-awful idea.

[gobo]

That was the initial idea behind my 'full season of random artist's interpretations of the TMNT' (inspired by all the non-E&L stories and continuities that were injected into Mirage Vol. 1). No one ever commented on it though.

TMNT: Eastman Returns

[CylonsKlingonsDaleksOhMy]

Please, no. How 'bout TMNT: Dark Reality, where they return home to find that the "Same As It Never Was" future is coming to become reality due to the Turtles' months-long absence?

THAT would be cool.

Or TMNT: Battle Nexus, with a season-long tournament arc. I could stand that. The human acolytes could be in it, for one--and die only to return at the season finale.

[odupianist]

TMNT: Immortal

TMNT: No one ever freakin' dies

[BubblyShell22]

How about TMNT: Usagi's World, where the Turtles end up in Usagi's world by mistake and have to get back home?

[triplexxx]

You know, that one might actually work, since people say there isn't enough Usagi.

[odupianist]

It's been done though with the Ultimate Drako episodes. They can get home easily thru the Battle Nexus or straight back to their home since Usagi knows the enchantments to get to Third Earth (as seen in "Samurai Tourist")

[triplexxx]

True, but that was only one episode. I was just thinking maybe they could do something where Usagi and his friends are in real trouble, having to constantly face a certain, or maybe numerous foes (they never did take care of Lord Hebi once and for all), he summons the turtles for help, and they could stay maybe as long as half a season; it'd be a difference from the usual NY setting and can still be just as exciting. Maybe they could use that bit Stan Sakai did which included the turtles as an inspiration, change it a little, and expand on it; it'd have a comic touch and be original.

Like I don't know that that wa baby Gonzo in the Musical Muppets episode of Muppet babies, performing Weirdo troll. It's on my Photobucket account after all, sheesh. Try to make a joke.....

You know, as ultra obvious as that is, that could be a great solution. Have the TMNT in Usagi's world. That way we get an Usagi cartoon series, while keeping the familiar TMNT brand, so then there will be a built in audience of younger kids who don't fully know Usagi yet.

So does Splinter -- how else did he travel back and forth for the tournaments? All they have to do is have Splinter draw up the diagram, visit the Daimyo and ask him to send them back to their proper time. But that of course is too logical.

[Scandia]

That would actually be pretty nifty. I like Usagi and his universe.

Of course, it may work better as a 4 episode arc than a whole season.

Not to mention it would make a good story for Tales Volume 2.

[Katie]

I'm still waiting for Renet to poof them back to their time......OH OH OH TMNT: Quantum Leap. Ditzy Renet sends the turtles through time landing them in the middle of historic events all through time. It's fun AND educational

[SLASH!!!]

TMNT: Beyond

TMNT: Unlimited

TMNT: Miami

I can see it now... Leo takes up the habit of wearing aviators and posing dramatically before he says anything. And his one-liners get much, much worse.

Seeing SAINW-related events start to happen could be interesting for a season. That would give Donny a chance to shine (and put a lot of pressure on the poor guy, to remember details from an alternate reality he visited probably a year previous at least, by that time). You could do some interesting stuff with it... bring up some can-we-change-our-own-destiny questions, as well as force Don to make some in-series acknowledgement about that experience. Find a way to give Raph a prominent role (as he could use some more solo screentime) and I'd watch it, no question.

If I were watching a season with that storyline and Don were captured/went missing for any reason, I'd freak out. It has a lot of dramatic potential... you'd just have to, y'know, not blow it by doing something stupid. Which I can't say 4Kids is too reliable on.

Me as well. It will be a very dramatic jump from "Fast Forward", but I would really dig into it. I guess 4Kids needs to ask itself this: should they try make things that are appealing to kids, or just for kids? (gah, bad pun...). Kids like dark and edgy. I've seen kids in Spiderman 3. They loved every minute of it. The turtles are no different. Why make a kiddy plotline when they were loving the current dark plotline so much? The kids were happy until 4Kids tried to milk the show for everything it was worth... *sighs*
