Please get it through your skull once and for all that a potential future is not the same thing as "the" future. For all we know, Carmen and Bob could have a radically different relationship with the main characters than what it implies. The fact that Tokka and Rahzar were removed from the main timeline is itself an alteration from the events we can assume lead to it. And even if this was the intended to be "the" future, nobody is obligated to follow through on it, it can still be completely ignored. In fact, we have already seen like three or four other interpretations of what the future might be like from other writers. There was an entire mini-series dedicated to explaining that the future is not and can not be written in stone.

Spoiler:

In fact, the only reason Bebop and Rocksteady still exist in the main timeline is because they replaced their dead main timeline counterparts, that's how complicated the rules are here. By all rights, the Battle of the Bands thing shouldn't have happened because Bebop and Rocksteady shouldn't even be around to make it happen. So who even knows if that was actually a potential future of the main timeline? For all we know, could have been the future of a timeline where Null headquarters got destroyed by the Dragon or where Bebop and Rocksteady didn't defeat Ravenwood or just about any other million possibilities.

The only reason you keep insisting this Mutant City / Fallout New Vegas Bullshit is going to be "the" future, is because you have a personal soft spot for it. But the truth is that literally any decent writer is not going to work towards, they're just going to ignore it apart from maybe a need to declare why it won't happen, because it would suck incredibly hard if the future was set in stone.

Ah damn, maybe I'll go re-read Turtles in Time now, that was a dope miniseries

The future is the future, Obviously we saw what Sheena looked like many years from now, and looking the same, So she could possibly not gotten that hair transplant.

Also Carmen and Bob seems to be very pivotal for whatever happened to there future.

[lonewarrior20]

actually i'm kinda wondering where or should i say "who" he's getting the hair from.

[Lord Nightwalker]

Hmm. I'm starting to think they are introducing Venus as a Frankenstein stitched together villain.... possibly the work of our mutant nod to escape from L.A. and that that is whose on the cover instead of Jennika on that after Eastman and Laird tribute. They're shadowing her to find the kidnapped frog. Well...maybe I'm stretching...

[TigerClaw]

Donatello has been framed somehow, and the Punk Frogs think he kidnapped Bonnie, So there is somebody out there macerating as one of the Turtles.

And where was Oroku Saki whose now the guardian the Turtles while being attacked by the Punk Frogs?

This is the biggest question. I am glad that he didnt intervene though, I am not fond of Deus Ex Saki.

neatoman: I'm pretty sure you're arguing with someone who doesn't even know how to read. If they don't get it by now, they never will.

At the very least, they never watched the end of Back to the Future III.

Yeah, I know...

I know he's... Stubborn... But it is frustrating to see him keep insisting the plot is guaranteed to go in that direction, even though we already know it doesn't have to and probably won't due to the nature of indefinite storytelling with multiple writers.

Obviously he's just doing it because he liked that particular future, if he could at least start by admitting that...

TLR is showing a possible Toitle future. It doesn't have to be canon. The current events in the monthly could just be alluding to a possible outcome. Not actual panels we will see in years to come.

Trust me, this guy is never going to accept this fact short of seeing this particular get contradicted severely. Which, to be fair, it probably will be.

Funnily enough, for the longest time all I ever seen was the end of Back to the Future III. Somehow on TV I would always catch enough of BTTF1 to where Marty actually time travels (but not like the first 10-15 minutes of how the movie starts), all of BTTF2 and at random times, the ending 'trying to stay on the train as it's about to reach the top speed needed to time travel' final part of BTTF3. Wasn't til I met my girlfriend at the time that we sat and watched all 3 movies back to back.

[Leo656]

Please do not say "funnily enough", as I want us to stay friends.

Thanks in advance.

ROFL. You have some weird rules amigo. You're lucky you're hardcore blood match champion or I wouldn't put up with it.

[IMJ]

I can't believe how many of you guys here are still buying this book monthly and reading it to be honest.

Hope. That and an obsessive see-it-to-the-end personality. I stay with things *way* longer then I should.

I stopped once my own comic shop stopped. I barely go there as is anymore, and the more I heard about the Mutant Town garbage, the less I want to go to through the extra effort to track down anything past issue 100.

[CyberCubed]

To be fair, you don't have to "buy" the book. You can even go to a comic store and quickly skim through the pages. A 20 page comic takes about 5 minutes to read through if you're quick enough.

Naw dude. Either I buy it or I don't. I mean, yeah, I might flip through it if I'm curious but what's with the intention or buy or not. I remember when Catwoman started it's new run after the ReBirth thing, so I picked up, flipped through it, the art was just atrocious so I put it back and didn't buy it.

But I'm not gonna read the whole thing in the store. C'mon now.
