If you were granted any Turtles-related wish...

[pennydreadful]

Let's play pretend. The fabric of reality has torn asunder and you find yourself in possession of a special type of genie: the Nerd Genie. Aforementioned Nerd Genie will grant you any wish, as long as it pertains to TMNT.

So... what're you gonna wish for?

Is it a collectible you've always wanted but never been able to find/afford? Is it a type of merchandise that doesn't exist? Is it a storyline you'd like to see? Something that you'd love to see in canon but know would never happen without the help of your Nerd Genie? Would you wish for Eastman and Laird to be interested in controlling the property again?

If you could wish for anything TMNT-related, what would your wish be? Discuss.

ps - Ixnay on wishing for a 2k3 box-set or for Platinum Dunes to not have done a movie/not be doing a sequel, cuz that's just way too easy.

Nick would get higher ratings and become more continuity focused.

[TrickOrTreater]

Make them and their universe real. And all the rules of that universe apply to this one as well.

Life, uh, just became way more fun.

[Powder]

I want a Troma TMNT film. Done in the vein of Toxic Avenger 4 (which has a Kevin Eastman cameo, by the way!).

OR, more Barron/Henson TMNT films.

ORRRRR, "Tales From The Turtleverse", a comic series that would essentially be Tales Of The TMNT except instead of just Mirage it would do stories in all the different series. The OT, Archie, Next Mutation, etc. All that. I might want that the most, actually...

[IndigoErth]

In no particular order...

Option 1:

If something different but related counts...

Rewind time to beginning of movie production.


"You do it right this time. And you do it now."


Option 2:
If we're making them real... Leo if you ever get a break, buddy, weekend hiking trip, ya game?


Option 3:
Exact replicas of his katanas and mask from 2014. Oh and the NYC button, too.


Edit...
Realistic wish: How about equal respect for them as superheroes alongside other hero characters and no longer be stuck with the stigma of being "just a kids thing."

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I'd love for the TMNT to get a nice, solid film/TV series that tells one grand story. I think it'd be cool to finish it off with a Batman Beyond-esque sequel in which Shadow Jones (the Nightwatcher of the future) does the one thing that the turtles could not: help the Utrom return home.

I love both of these ideas, but I love the bolded one better.

Freakin' Forever War.

[PangolinFeets]

Reasonable answers:
A legit good TMNT fighting game. Like, one that would be played at EVO.
Figures based on the IDW Santolouco versions of the turtles.
Another line of Revoltech figures.
...Basically more high-quality figures in general.

Completely ridiculous answer:
TMNT/Pacific Rim crossover.

[Commenter 42]

A next gen game based on TMNT & other Strangeness, with an open world like Skyrim, and hundreds of different animals to choose from.

The "Dungeon Master" would voiced by Bryan Cranston.

[Metalwolf]

If it could only be 'real world:'

-TMNT gets out of the 'It's for kids!' ghetto it's currently trapped in. Removing it would allow for a lot more leeway on how the Turtles and whatnot are done, opening up show possibilities and video games that don't assume you are an easily traumatized kid with the attention span of a goldfish.

Fantastic wish answer:

For Nick TMNT to be real, along with me getting getting enough mutagen to double mutate a la Bradford. I know I would be picking a wolf mutation, just because I really like how he looks, and also because I'd love to pick a fight with him for being such a douche, even though I'd lose spectacularly (ninja skills against an untrained fighter, oh yeah )

This made me think how much I wish Dawn of the Ninja would update with the next chapter.

[Victorsaurus]

I wished Venus de Milo to be added in a the newest issues/TV series-episodes/movies, etc. just the same as they add Leo/Mikey/Raph/Donnie.

I really like the idea of a female turtle even though her intro was a little weird (the part of the guys not knowing about her existent) and lots of people don't like her. They can give her lots of character development and hopefully new people to the series will like her, oh and eep her bandana the same color.

[Davetello]

6 thirteen episode seasons of no-hold barred adult Turtles on HBO or Netflix. There would be cursing, dying, violence & very deep character development. Think "The Sopranos" quality show in the Mirage universe.

It's about as likely as impregnating Scarlett Johansson, though i.e. never gonna happen except in my most intense fantasies.

You have learned nothing from Mutagen Man, have you?

On the contrary, I've learned from him to NOT have contact with mutagen without having come in contact with something previously

Pretty much I'd just buy a frozen wolf head off a hunter through the Internet, and then cover myself in wolf goo before applying mutagen. I have a slight interest in taxidermy, and found through it there are always hunters eager to sell off the skinless leftover heads of their prized timberwolf mounts. Pretty easy to avoid a 'Timothy situation,' if you know to prepare beforehand

Wolf goo.




wut

[IndigoErth]

Wolf goo and ooze... I hope the plan post mutation is a bath.

[John Pannozzi]

Have Viacom buy out any TMNT characters and comics they don't already own (Rick Veitch's stuff, Keno, Sterns, Prof. Perry, and Tatsu, etc.)

Have Rhonda Pattison, Heather Breckel, and Steve Lavigne do all the coloring on reprints of older TMNT comics (Breckel would do the Archie stuff, Lavigne would do most of the Mirage stuff, and Pattison would do Eastman's older work).

Have Paramount and/or Shout Factory release the Turtles Forever director's cut on Blu-ray (and an anamorphic Region 1 DVD), the 2003 series in a complete DVD set with all the shorts and Mayhem from Mutant Island as extras (as well as the Laird interviews and other extras from the old DVDs, maybe the Chaotic guest appearance and Fight for the Fox Box stuff, too), and Blu-ray season sets of the current TMNT cartoon.


Finish the Forever War and the Gang Wars.

[TrickOrTreater]

Oh I just remembered another.

Nothing against Sam Riegel or Michael Sinterniklaas(who I love as Dean Venture), but I'd probably replace one of them as the voice of Donnie or Leo respectively on the 2003 show.

They just sound too much alike and it's kinda distracting.
