Mutant Apocalypse Speculation and wishlisting thread

[plastroncafe]

Having seen only the teaser clip, I've got to say I'm really kind of stoked for this Mad Max ending to things.

It feels very non-linear, twisted, and hearkens to the future we only get random smatterings from Mirage.

I kind of even like the beard.
Though, I'm a little sad that this future Raph has both eyes.

(haven't read through the whole thread, but has anyone else mentioned this could either be a D&D style campaign? Or possibly a story Mikey is telling...or reading?)

[Tarris Vaal]

I am also starting to like the beard.

Its perfectly possible this is all a 'non event' scenario, ie; A dream, a story someones telling; a DnD session; A simulation, etc.


But theres no way real evidence to say one way or another as yet. It does seem very grim for some of the characters - Casey being the case in point - I'd feel pretty bad for him if that skull is literally the only appearance he makes.

Even though I don't watch the series anymore, and even though I don't really have any experience with the TMNT franchise as a whole, I would like to state my final prediction.

Spoiler:

In the end, everyone dies.

Glad some one else feels this way too.

And that would be a horrible way to end the series.

That'd be awesome. Star Wars: Rogue One did it, it's fantastic.

You two idiots would be perfect for each other. Go hook up.

^ Couldn't have put it better myself.

Rogue One did it? Yeah it did (and yes it was awesome) but that's not really comparable with a series finale. Rogue One was leading into A New Hope. The finale is more comparable with Return of the Jedi (or I guess Episode IX now). Killing everyone off and ending on such a down beat would be a terrible idea.

I know death in TV/movies can be done poignantly and be extremely moving, and yes even uplifting in certain circumstances when done well. I just really don't see that being the case here though.

Is anyone else weird like me and gonna wait a week to watch this? So as to celebrate the show's 5th anniversary on the 29th?

No because the internet is going to exploded with spoilers on Friday, (But that depends if the final will be up on ITunes before it airs on TV) Or Saturday morning for me due to time differences

I don't want to wait to watch this one.

I feel you. I'll have to stay off of Twitter, Instagram and the entire Nick section here, but I think I can do it.

Hopefully no one puts spoilers in thread titles.

I wondered the same about thread titles, especially if it's about a death.

[Metalwolf]

Didn't the original Mirage comics have such a downer ending too? Like how in the future humanity all left Earth at the end and that the Turtles remained behind to die, because they considered their mutated existence merely random a chance of the universe, not because something greater meant for them to be there?

(That is, if I'm remembering it correctly.)

That could be what they are going for here. Plus the tons of mutants might be from a crapton humans mutating themselves, because of some doomsday cult.

[BubblyShell22]

I'm not waiting and will watch it when it airs on Friday because I'm anxious to see how this plays out.

[Tarris Vaal]

Yeah, I'm in agreement, Im very much looking forward to seeing what they do with this arc.

I have concerns certainly, but the production team have generally been quick to pronounce this as work they are proud of - so I'm trying to put any misgivings I have aside and trust them.

Only 3 days to go now

I think I'll be reasonably happy as long as there is some closure - especially on some of the series long arcs like Don/April, Raph's struggle with his anger and Mikey's lack of focus betraying his potential.

I don't like this idea, but somehow I have the feeling that the Don/April sub-plot won't be never resolved on this final arc Ciro said that "there is a planned end point" about this, but we don't know if he meant the ICK music video or not. Anyway I hope I am wrong about this.

[Tarris Vaal]

Have a bit of faith Red! He cant get much more of an end point than the last arc to be made in production order, set 50 yrs into the future and the finale of 5 seasons.


Unless what he meant by saying it will have people discussing it for ages was because its left completely open ended with no resolution....

Lets agree to hope we're wrong to worry about it

Raph's beard is the best! Probably a modded 'fake' Santa beard that acts as a smog mask. Can't imagine a turtle growing hair despite the human genes.

Combing through the trailer earlier I found a half second clip of what looks like a black blob like creature with sharp teeth, body-wise looking like a recycled use of Ice Cream Kitty's animation model. Another still I caught showed a four legged creature in the bottom right corner of the frame in Chompy's colors, perhaps not him... It would be cool to find out that Chompy is still about somewhere and much bigger.

Another shot, a simple glimpse of Raph's face in a green glow. Wonder what he's looking at.
