So, what would you like to see in a potential season 8? - Page 2

Oh come on I think most of us would want another season of the show, don't get all upset because I'm trying to share some honest insider info with you guys.
The turtles will always be around in some shape or form.

I definately hope this isn't the end of Turtles forever, but I highly doubt it is. It's just one cartoon, the franchise continues (even with a hiatus.)

But I do sense a bit of asshole-ism coming from my posts, so I'm done now.

I'm not a shoot the messenger guy by any means. Sometimes when you have bad news, the reaction isn't pretty, no matter how you soften the blow.

"Fan response" is seeing huge ratings in reruns, like Family Guy did. "Fan response" is positive reviews from all over and a campaign from hundreds of thousands of casual fans.

Not to mention through the roof sales of DVD's.

Personally, I think ending it with this season is alright, but I really think it needs an 8th, loose end tie up thing that bridges the FF and closes it up for good (unless they do it here, by the end of the season).

But Saturday Morning wise... No TMNT, no Spider-Man... wow... we're walking into a freakin' vortex. if anything, this might just be the end completely, with the exception of FCC TV EI lip service. I'm sure it doesn't prove a problem to the 3 kids that watch Aqua Kids or Made in Hollywood Teen Edition...

No point in watching Saturday morning cartoons if nothing good comes on anymore.

TMNT was that good thing. Here's hoping it goes on, but if not, I am done with cartoons until that new X-Men starts.

I'm up for writting a letter opposing the end of TMNT if anyone has an address...

A trip to Japan. Remember Archie's "Midnight Sun" stuff.

They already went to Japan - Leo went alone in "The Ancient One", and all four of them went in the Lost Season.

If they were to go to Japan again, I'd like to see it as an adaptation of "Masks".

Something tells me VaughnMichael is right. Playmates just dropping the ball like this and using movie tooling for the figures reeks of "just let it ride out" behavior. If the show is pulling good ratings then it's pulling in good ratings, but I doubt it matters. This is it.

Anyobody got a clue on the numbers the Fast Forward toys pulled in while the show was airing?

*VaughnMichael* · 10-26-2008, 06:21 AM

There had been about 13- 15 FF figures that made it into the prototype stages that never saw a retail release.

I know that, what I mean is an entire season set in Asia.

No, I meant the actual sales numbers of the fast forward toys.

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 10-26-2008, 01:54 PM

Maybe stories inspired by some cool Archie stuff?

Oh I have no idea, They always say they didn't sell well but you could have fooled me as they hardly ever stayed on shelves from PA- LA.

*Spitfire* · 10-26-2008, 10:55 PM

FF toys sold extremely well in my area. They were impossible to find and some figures I never saw. Mainly the Hyper Shell, which I've only seen on Ebay once used.

The series must be doing well ratings wise. It's airing 4 times a Saturday, that's insane. Someone high up wanted to end it if it is ending. It's stupid either way the only reason I'd see them wanting it to end is they want to bring it back as an adult/teen franchise or their sick of it and want to see it die out.

*Buslady* · 10-27-2008, 09:11 AM

doubt they'll actually have a pregnancy on a kid's show, indicating OMG APril and Casey...did the deed! Oh no!
too much like real life

i doubt they'll have raph loose an eye also, too violent

no more anything fast forward, that's over with!

but what would it matter, the show seems just as corny as FF.

Baxter Stockman.

That is all.

EDIT: Also, "Same As It Never Was".

raphael88 · 10-30-2008, 06:38 AM

i would really love to see a season based on the image comics where raph lost an eye, don almost die and merged with a robot etc, all the turtles injured badly or even die, but at the end of the season find a way to set things to normal (find a super healer or something)

It happened in Archie, see http://www.ninjaturtles.com/comics/archie/42/42.htm, http://www.ninjaturtles.com/comics/archie/43/43.htm and http://www.ninjaturtles.com/comics/archie/44/44.htm. Archie was always considered kid-friendly (even if they become more violent after some early stories)

*Ninjinister* · 11-03-2008, 02:18 PM

Okay, here's what I've been pondering for a potential arc for next season.

The should would just be called "TMNT". No subtitle, gimmick. Each episode would stand to wrap up plot threads and/or explain characters' origins. Nightmares Recycled could be reworked into this season, as well as origins for characters such as Touch & Go and Agent Finn. There could be a couple of comic-based stories that would make sense, especially Masks. Also, I'd like to see the Fast Forward series wrapped up at some point. Maybe the Dark Turtles slowly reform and become the TMNT of the 2100's, protecting Cody and the galaxy at large from threats such as Darius? They could also explain what happened to Cody's parents. I still like my theory of Darius mutating them into Sh'Okanabo and Viral

The overall story arc of the season wouldn't be the advent of a villain's rampage, but instead, the growing and maturing of the Turtles into full adults, and perhaps (since they are using the ranking system of gennin-chunin-jounin in the series), they could finally advance to jounin.

I still think they moved them aside for the movie stuff. That's my theory and I'm stickin' to it. They didn't sell half as poorly in my area either. nto great after a while, but that's par for the course with the TMNT lines.

Doug's Mom in Brand Spankin' New Doug. All I'm sayin'.

Oh yeah. Bobby's Mom from Bobby's World... It's okay if they're married.
