With OotS a failure, what's next for TMNT films?

I like to see it happen in the next few years not after I've kicked the bucket.

I like to keep the turtle actors and Bebop and Rocksteady actors, the others can go.

Buut you do realize that a reboot by nature is wiping the slate clean entirely. Turtles and B&R will be out with Fox and Amell.

Yeah I know, that why I said I like them to stay.

Hahaha, Leo didn't leave because of "negativity."

And enough with this "kiddo, kid, punk" garbage. It's f*cking annoying and cringy.

Epecially when we're essentially all manchildren anyway.

Well some of us are late Gen X'ers actually. That one does still exist.

Little too old to be millennial. And the baby boomer is my mom, who's in her 60s.

Though to be fair her group were the first parents to deal with the TMNT craze, and now she gets to be the grandma who is somewhat already familiar. Enough so to be into seeing the movie and wouldn't mind a third.

It's an attempt to course-correct off a failed attempt at being its own thing thats only now trying to pander to a different audience.

Sure, there's plenty of OT inspired elements in there: Bebop & Rocksteady, Krang, The Technodrome, Reporter April... but you're still left with 8 foot tall bulletproof Ninja Turtles with super strength who don't actually fight or resemble their cartoon counterparts, a Shredder whose a complete write-off, a Technodrome that's never fully realized, a Krang thats only in two scenes, a pre-mutated Baxter Stockman, a Dimension-X that's never explored(or explicitly stated, if I recall), celebrity-status Vern "The Falcon" Fenwick, Raphael's completely different personality, ... You can definitely say of all the other incarnations the Fred Wolf one is the closest it resembles, but its still not the Fred Wolf universe.

I still believe making a Fred Wolf Universe movie could still be huge numbers, but it can't be a direct sequel to a movie that tried its best to be its own thing and failed. It'd be like trying your hardest to adapt Season 2 of The Next Mutation into a faithful Mirage adaptation: you just can't. You can come close by what you add, emphasize, or alter, but you're still in the rules of The Next Mutation universe.

This pretty much sums it. This movie has fan service but it's still nothing like the OT.

I agree, IDW would be a great middle ground. But id LOVE to see full blown mirage
