New Show coming in 2018 - Page 166

Shellington · 02-18-2018, 01:10 PM

I like the idea of Donnie having a drone pet.

Whie I feel they're carrying the Tony Stark thing too far, Donnie should be a ninja foremost, I think this will work well. Look at the Redwing drone the Falcon owned, and the Rover drone in the Voltron show.

As to fat Splinter... I hope he uses his girth in his fighting, like Po the Kung Fu Panda. Po bounces around a lot and his fat protects him like a cushion from attacks. He shouldn't be fat if he can't kick ass with it.

Sounds like with that last video, they're positive the show will be successful enough to officially release a 2nd major toy set in the fall of 2019. So...I guess there will be a 2nd season at least.

Pre-production on new seasons happens very fast, episodes are usually scripted 8 months before they air on TV. They generally have to know very early on if a show is going to continue when they plan further seasons.

Adventure Time has proven the 11 minute format can still be super awesome & character driven, but it does bum me out to get 10 minutes less turtle action than ever before.

*CyberCubed* · 02-18-2018, 02:43 PM

It's still 26 half-hour episodes, that means we're getting two 11-minute episodes in each "airing."

Sure, the stories may be condensed to fit 11 minutes, but we'll likely get a lot of subplots.

*IndigoErth* · 02-18-2018, 02:53 PM

Much of the time though, will it really have time for subplots? We already (and fairly) complained that some 2012 eps were at times kind of rushed. Who has time for details when you've got 10 minutes to have a problem, find a solution, and get it done.

Can't say I've ever watched Adventure Time to know how it handles it, but with such time restraints I fear these stories may appear quite simplified next to what we're used to for, well, pretty much forever with TMNT.

No wonder Leo isn't the leader... Eps are not even long enough to give the guy time to think over a good plan and strategy. So Raph was thrown to the forefront because he'll just dive in instead.

It could also be 26 11 minute episodes, meaning it would take 13 airings to complete the first season.

I look forward to the more episodic format, coming off of 4Kids and Nick doing serialized storyarcs. It would be more fitting for the comedic tone and is a first for a turtles show.

:

I was thinking the same when we were taking about things we wished they'd expanded on, with it being a kids show and only 22 minutes we were only going to get so much depth, though I thought we still had a lot of it. If this show is even younger, then less needed. (where are those novels some of us want?

)

It did say back to training so I guess he just thought he'd done his job and relaxed, then realised they need him still.

I guess, light, young, fun series it will be....

Oh, and the new character pics, I like the toys more.

I will be in the series! TMNT dont work without me!

*newfan* · 02-18-2018, 03:31 PM

Unless I got it wrong I think the confirmation is not in the start anyway rather than not at all.

Everything after Mirage Issue 1 (or Return to New York if you count the worms) says otherwise

*CyberCubed* · 02-18-2018, 04:21 PM

Now that we know Baron Draxum commands the Foot Soldiers, the more I think about it, maybe Baron Draxum works for Shredder?

It seems like he may have the usual "second in command" role Shredder's minions have in past series, like Hun in 2k3, or Tiger Claw in Nick, or Tatsu, Karai, etc.

Sounds good to me, but we just won't know that at first? Like someone else mentioned about Shredder being the absent leader until he turns up?

Nah, these are short enough that they can easily spend most of that time just hunting for the tv remote. They won't have time for Shredder. Maybe they'll have just a few minutes to fight Foot ninja to get it back. Maybe season finales will be full 22 min and finally have a boss fight.

*sdp* · 02-18-2018, 09:55 PM

March 24 is the NIck Awards and when we'll get the official unveiling of Baron Draxum. I wonder if that also means the first trailer.

In all honestly, that would be lame, if they're going to do things differently then they should stick to it, I hate these "halfsies" shows. I loved The Batman in the first three seasons but once it tried to be more like B:TAS it was still cool but it lost most of its uniqueness and just felt like a "worse" and "light" version of BTAS instead of its own thing.

Shredder appearing eventually is cool, Baron being just a second in command? not so much.

If anything, I think Shredder being Baron's second in command would be infinitely better, making the latter the big boss behind the shadows or something.

I know people love whats already been done, but I really hope that this show keeps its unique quirks throughout its run rather than changing them to become like other turtle incarnations. It would be fun looking back at this show as the one where Raphael was a competent leader or where Shredder wasn't the main villain, rather than it being like all the others.

*CyberCubed* · 02-18-2018, 10:55 PM

It would make sense to be honest, why a guy like Baron Draxum would be commanding Foot Soldiers. It's the same as Hun, Tatsu, Tiger Claw, etc. commanding Foot Soldiers. If Baron Draxum works for Shredder they can still keep Shredder behind the scenes as an "Emperor Palpatine" type character until they're ready to have him step into the action.

Only difference is the description says Baron Draxum wants to turn the whole human race into mutants, and Shredder wouldn't care about that.

*newfan* · 02-19-2018, 01:35 AM

What if in someway the Draxum had taken the foot but Shredder comes back to claim them? Even that is better than Draxum being Superior to Shredder.
I get the show is new but in that case don't have Draxum come with the foot.
Unless he turns out to be a mutated Shredder?
If the toons are 11 minutes though I can't see too much depth going on ... not sure what to think until more is reveled.
