Do a legit reboot. New Turtles maybe similar to the look of the Injustice turtles and whole new cast. No need to waste time on origin since most people know how the gist of it. They should just do the City Fall story from the IDW comics. Could definitely get 3 solid movies out of that.

Some of these comments are enough to make me weep.

Also needed: Most screen time devoted to the Turtles.
OotS did better, but there are still human sidekick segments that get far too long after you've seen it a couple of times. Last time I watched that one I found myself fast forwarding though most of those parts just as I do with 2014. (e.g. April and Casey held in the police station, "The Falcon" in his apartment and then trying to find that flash drive in an unnecessarily long scene, and Casey vs B&R toward the end.) Not that they can't have any screen time sans Turtles, but leave it to like a minute or so before we get back to the Turtles, not 5+ or what feels like it. |

The main things I would like them to do is learn from the lessons of the previous two.
Firstly that making the Fred Wolf show the primary source of inspiration is not the silver bullet for commercial success. Secondly the idea that the concept of TMNT being inherently ridiculous means they should own it and really lean into it needs to die. The general audience has had thirty years to acclimate to the concept of TMNT that they don't stand out as ridiculous compared to other comic book properties as they once did not to mention while a lot of their initial success I believe is down to the bizarre concept that stood out they are no longer the strangest things in the room when movies about a talking tree and raccoon are huge billion dollar hits. Next to them the turtles seem pretty straightforward. Quote:
While the general audience knows the basics of TMNT I don't think the properly know the origin and several variations on it have muddied the waters somewhat. Some very basic things need to laid down; Like is Splinter Hamato Yoshi's pet turned manlike or is he Hamato Yoshi himself turned ratlike. It may not seem important since he's characterized the same either way but it does fundamentally alter his interactions with the Shredder. I know I'm in a lonely club of one with this one but I'm not sure basing this on IDW is the best idea. There's certainly much worse ideas don't get me wrong and the series almost seems to be written with Hollywood in mind but there's something kinda convoluted and fanboy kewlish about their origins there that the success of the current comic book movies seem to repudiate. Like the turtles and Splinter are reincarnations of an ancient Japanese warrior and his four sons and they are part of an alien conspiracy super soldier plan. The former is okay and I like that it gives the turtles a mother figure in Tang Shen but both seems a lot to throw at an audience. Also if we're talking City War why not do the original City At War on which it's based. Last edited by Galactus; 06-26-2018 at 04:20 AM. |

What I want is Casey ****ing Jones being a badass vigilante with anger issues. Not whiny cop terrible acting Stephen Amell. Also not being scared the first time he sees the turtles like Amell was.

Only good part in that was the Turtles being equally unimpressed and making fun of him for us.

If I were the casting directors, here's who I'd want to play the turtles:

I meant something turtle/shell related that’s pretending to be a legitimate public vehicle. Casey Jones could be the driver. I know my comments on Batman made it seem otherwise.

It needs The Shredder. I don't want to see a made for movie villain. It automatically lessens the movie. A part of the film is "who is the villain going to be?". A cowardly warlord and a arrogant British arms dealer then an immortal with a wrapped vision who reforms.? No thanks!
Perhaps Rat King incorporated one way or anther. Designs similar to the first three films for the TMNT. Find a way of incorporating the black and white comics and the 1987 cartoon in ways that make sense. The original film did that. The second did as well to a lesser extent.

Right now, I'm really hoping someone gets a good sit down interview with Kevin Eastman soon.
Once again, I know he has no control over how the upcoming film turns out, but I bet he's heard more than we have about it. And sure, his word isn't always the most reliable when it comes to TMNT - he's a big supporter of anyone trying to honor his creation - but you can see some disappointment in his face when people bring up the recent Platinum Dunes films, so I'd like to hear his take on whatever may be coming next. |

I would like to see:
1. The film continue the story of the first two films rather than be a reboot 2. Bebop, Rocksteady, Krang and Baxter all making a re-appearance. 3. A time travel story to Ancient Japan. 4. The introduction of Hamato Yoshi and the history of the Foot Clan into the lore. 5. Slighty tweaked turtle designs so they are less hulk looking. 6. Not having too many characters. B , R and Krang are ok in my opinion, but Karai, Vernon and Casey weren't needed as much in OOTS so I don't expect to see them again. 7. Less Potty and sexual humour and more OT humour, namely some Shredder-Krang interactions, puns, fourth wall breaks, B and R goofing up etc. 8. Possibly an inside look into Dimension X, might be difficult if the third is a time travel story and might have to be one or the other, but maybe both could work somehow.
