[@Ryo-sj8wn]

They should combine them all, make a live action, micky-centric movie where they meet an alien race of turtles (so the guys can get some alien turtle G/Fs) & using the Alien tech they go to an alternate dimension where they meet up with that other new turtle, what's his name, & have to defeat the triceratons (who rule earth in that dimenson) to get back home. Explosions & action ensues & they manage to get back. Only some of the triceratons get through with them & the TMNT have to defeat the Triceraton leader at the end to make things right. & then they could have either the triceratons that got through stay peacefully on this earth or they agree to go back to their own dimension & do.

[@HuskyLemur]

I honestly would’ve liked to asked Eastman and/or laird if they ever saw the ROTTMNT cartoon series and expressed what species they’d have liked to make one of their favorite turtle creations to be, like... we know that Kevin Eastman considers Raphael his favorite ninja turtle creation, and I bet he’d have liked to draw Raphael into one of his favorite real life turtle species be it a red eared slider or one of them dove eating turtle predator species known as Common Snapping Turtles. And we know that Peter Laird considers Donatello his favorite ninja turtle creation, and I bet he’d have liked to draw Donatello as one of his favorite real life turtle species like a sea turtle or some other turtle species. I’m honestly in love with the variant turtle species concept of what the four turtles are in the 4th Turtles cartoon in this day and age now, despite being a longtime turtles fan who grew up with the first TMNT cartoon series and Konami published Ninja Turtles games at that time, but its true. And I also like Red Eared Slider-Leo who already happens to be my new fan favorite incarnation of the many Leos I grew up loving as my favorite turtle of all the incarcerations past, present, and future to this day and age. But seriously what turtle species would Eastman and Laird would’ve liked to have drawn their favorite ninja turtles to be other than the turtle species Andy Suriano has already made his 4th cartoon series turtles today?

I feel that TMNT 2007 is a worthy sequel to the 90s live action movies. There were plenty of references to that trilogy in the form of lines of dialogue and Easter Eggs (Shredder's helmet, the TGRI canister, the time scepter, Dirk Walker's hat, etc.)

[@lorrieruff4402]

I would of like to seen the one with Michelangelo, is the last turtle. We always think as Mikey is a little more than comedy relief / back up for his Brothers. Good natured soul, with a laid back attitude. Never would we think that he would be anything more than that. Not smart enough to lead, or ever come up with a good plan. Now with out any support from his brothers or advice from his mentor. How does Mikey find and get the help he needs? Does he hide out from Shedder? Or does he go to another which he has worked with in his past. That could be April, Casey, or even Bruce Wayne, or does he go it alone? No matter what, this would be a great devolvement story for him.

I wish TMNT 3 would permanently be erased from my childhood memories 😔

[@JB0071051982]

The" trench knife" Slash's action figure from 1990 has is actually a Butterfly sword with spikes added to the handguard. Here is more info about Butterfly swords and their usage in Chinese martial artsen.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butterfly_sword. As for Kirby having one, I think its just a coincidence since Slash debuted in the original cartoon in season 4 (1990) and the Kirby concept designs did not come along until later.

[@waffensuperninja]

I think that Michelangelo was naturally prime for increased storylines and following movie adaptations of the ninja turtles because he is the least used turtle so there is such a expanse of material you could go into. Michelangelo seems to be the most extroverted but also I feel like it is a front for what's really going on inside his head. there are so many directions you could go with that obviously with the takes from the other movie ideas

I was interested in the Hallmark special, since it did look dark. And I like the idea of a train fight. Also Kirby in that looks pretty awesome. If anything, I do wanna see Kirby come to fruition. And I think it would be pretty neat if it’s Mikey plays a larger role in another movie, instead of Raph and Leo.

[@jonathanmarois9009]

"The Next Mutation" would have been "TMNT: The Nail in the Coffin"

[@ghostchaser1631]

I would like to see one of two movies in this franchise, either: 1. A retro active sequel to the 1990 movie that ignores the sequels we got back in the 90's, has the same tone as the first one and continues the story properly. Those seem to be a thing now anyway, sooo... Or 2. A new reboot that can properly capture the Mirage comic book while also bringing it up to date at the same time. In other words, an up to date version of TMNT 1990, and if it has to have sequels then do them correctly this time. Also, that story idea for the Hallmark mini series about the turtles' long lost fifth brother who turns out to be a second Shredder...that sounds pretty sick and the story board done as a comic book looks really cool. If that story board is complete then they should release it as a comic book through IDW. That way we could still see it even though it didn't get to be a movie and it would probably make a fortune. They are sitting on a gold mine with that one and probably don't realise it.

Honestly, the concept of TMNT 2 would be amazing to see. Even if not a sequel to TMNT, a story focused on Michelangelo would’ve been great. Just to show the character in a new light and show him as more than just the party dude, how he would’ve held his own even with or without his brothers and Splinter.

[@stevenslouber4947]

Because the Turtles had contact with Splinter as a human (depending on what version of the story you subscribe to) or even that they were pets of humans, Mikey's next mutation concept idea makes the most sense.

[@Popesize]

The Woo- and Fusco-ideas sounds more interesting to me, than then other ones. It's interesting to see all these ideas around a fifth turtle. Kirby, Venus de Milo, and now latest Jennika (and there have probably been some more versions of this)

[@MultyMutant]

TMNT 2007 cartoon is the most underrated nnja turtle cartoon ever made. Pretty much every important aspect of the turtles is there - more mature and dark approach to the universe; great art style and, in particular, good looking turtles instead of Shreks on steroids; strong family and friendship themes and all other stuff. Would be a great thrilogy. Yet it was not successful and quickly forgotten, leaving the spot light to Michael Bay's movies and Nickelodeon's "Rise of the turtles"... sigh.

[@dennydarkko]

[@JONNYSORENSEN_AU]

The first nick show was successful, it ran for 5 seasons and had a long toyline and the dvds are still available Most toylines dont run now for more than a year or two, and when sales drop tie in shows are immediately canned. Thats what happened with rise for example.

​@@eveecco I know, right? It deserves more attention that it got. Guess the main problem is that there were not enough explosions, fart jokes and no Megan Fox. That's how public wants their movies, apparently.

[@scottmccurdy6493]

It really wasn't a great movie though. It has too many elements, and no time to properly develop them. It all kind of falls apart. I mean, none of the Turtles movies are great cinema, but because the other ones are sillier, you can kind of embrace their flaws and accept them as guilty pleasures. But the 2007 movie's more serious tone means its mediocrity is harder to ignore.

[@SEBBY_SHREDZ_BOI]

I remember still being in elementary school when the 2007 TMNT movie came out, my dad showed me the very first trailer for it (the one where they’re running along the rooftops and ends with Mikey landing in the dumpster), at first I thought it was just a fan animation but when I saw a date at the end I got sooooo hyped.

Honestly why tf did the 2014 turtles get a sequel, the 2007 turtles deserved to get one

[@gamemaker1802]

Short Answer: Copyright. Long Answer: TMNT (2007) was made in part and distributed by Warner Brothers. The TMNT license was bought by Viacom in 2009, meaning all future movies would be made by Paramount. Paramount can't use what Warner Brothers has made without paying a substantial fee, which why bother when even the flopped Out of the Shadows still made over two and a half times it gross, with the 2014 film making over six times its gross to make a sequel to a relatively obscure movie that no one has to make.

[@JB0071051982]

Another big factor in the 2007 CGI movie not getting a squeal was due to the animation company that made it, Imagi Studio's closing down. While TMNT (2007) did take in 95 million dollars at the box office, many of the other movies Imagi made after it failed pretty big at the box office. On February 5th 2010, Imagi closed its doors for good. It is a pity since I really enjoyed TMNT despite not seeing in the theatre. Also, I had heard that some story ideas had been discussed for a potential squeal, which would have the Shredder return as Karai teased at the end of the movie.

[@JB0071051982]

Yeah, I did not know about this until much later since I stopped watching the original cartoon at the start of season 8. Thanks to the DVD releases I corrected this oversight, I must say that I enjoyed this story development even if it was a little late in the series life span to have the proper impact. As a TMNT fan since 1987, I must say that I will glad take the final three seasons of the original cartoon over the third live action movie and The Next Mutation tv series any day.

I was 26 when TMNT came out, I saw it in theatres and my main thought was 'Welp, this ain't getting a sequel'

[@DangerousDevilOfficial]

They need to go back to the origins of the turtles. A dark, gritty movie where we see the whole story in Japan, with Hatmato Yoshi and Oroko Saki. The love story with Tang Shen. And then finally we get an intro to the turtles LIVE ACTION! As they were in the 1990 movie. Perfect soft reboot and sequel that pays homage to the first movie. This would work. Make the tone as dark and gritty as part one. This could be a one off film, like the mighty successful Joker!

[@Adamwinters]

Nice video! I compiled most of the TurtlePedia pages regarding the Foot Walks Again details, so I'm glad it was helpful! I know a guy who says he has a copy of the script, so maybe one day we'll find out more about it!

I'm sure someone's pointed it out by now. But it looks like Kirby was going to be using butterfly swords. As Chinese weapons, I wonder if the parallel dimensional Turtles were all going to be Chinese based instead of Japanese based as we know them. Though TMNT armaments tended to be swapped between Chinese and Japanese weapons as new iterations came out. What were you teaching them, Master Splinter?! :P

Its just old ideas recycled. The ronin concept publishing now is from several decades ago. Aka solo Mikey.

[@shaneilogo2100]

I think the problem with the Turtles franchise (especially the movie aspect of it) is no quality control. They hit the right formula with the 1990 movie but they keep changing it up after that. Too many cooks in the kitchen, perhaps?

[@Diorm]

Very great and informative video. Great work

[@ebelhenrius3043]

This might explain why the 10th season for the 1987 TMNT series had that whole "crazy mutation" thing.

[@JB0071051982]

Out of the all the ideas Steve Barron's idea appeals the most to me. Having enjoyed the 1990 movie, I really wish that had gotten a chance to do another movie or tv mini series with the TMNT. I do agree that Hallmark is defiantly an odd choice to air a dark gritty TMNT story since they are known for lighter fare.

[@MetroCammellDMUs]

I would like to see a TMNT live action movie that continues from the Secret of the Ooze. as you talked about it in your vid that we suppose to see that the scientist was in fact an Utrom. I'd love to see the Utroms involvement and have it continue. also have the introduction of Krang. yes i know Krang appeared in the second Bay movie but i'd love to see it using the 90s turtles look. that's just my opinion

[@viperfire1]

AEthelred Williams I concur

[@crashban4t.f.s.b783]

The sequel to the TMNT 2007 film would have been insane!!!!

[@derrickhaggard]

Given that TMNT was officially revealed by it's director to be the fourth film in the OG series the planned sequel/5th film was going to focus on the reveal that Shredder survived his "death" in Secret of the Ooze and would once again be coming after the guys, Splinter, April, and Casey basically revealing when Karai said at the end of TMNT "An old foe from the past will return" that she was referring to Shredder and would put some focus on Karai and Shredder's relationship.

[@raiu8990]

I would've loved to see a sequel of TMNT with Mikey standalone and the Triceratrons. Idk why this didnt happen yet we let bay turtles have a second movie.

[@jakedebruin2246]

The reason why is because the studio that made it went bankrupt, not due to that movie, since it did do well, but there other movies failed to pull in a profit (especially Astro boy).

[@hayleyyeager8008]

Funny how the mike centric story finally got made with the last ronin we need a 5th turtle brother story though

[@Person-wz6iy]

I came up with my own take on the TMNT! It's called Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Into the Shadows, which is set 10 years after a tragic event, in which Splinter was killed, and Mutants were made illegal. With the 4 Brothers being the only Mutants left on Earth, but this is all until Cynthia Umtron and Karai merge the Foot Clan's DNA with those of animals, which sparks a war between humans and Mutants. This ideration would take nore influence for the original comics, in which to hide themselves the team all wear red masks, but they still have the Letter belts. And Shredder would be violently killed at the start, which would cause the near extinction of Mutants, as this act was seen by hundreds of people.

[@supernaturalsupremeslayer8152]

The 07 movie is based on the early towards the late 2000's tmnt cartoon series which was such an awesome under rated series & it mentioned the ooze only once or twice of when the turtles & splinter got mutated & the only series where the conflicts had nothing to do with the ooze

[@kyleferris4645]

Adapt the IDW series. That's my favorite iteration of the turtles, followed by the OG version.

[@jamelleartis9172]

I remember when I was a kid my cities newspaper had a turtles comic strip which was a little on the serious side where Raphael dons a black whole body suit,anyone else seen such a thing?

[@JB0071051982]

Yes, the Archie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures comic book series had this occur. The Archie series was originally set in the same continuity as the Fred Wolf cartoon, but it later branched out to become its own universe. It had some really surprising stuff in the later stories, which I cannot wait to read in the near future.

[@oliverpony]

Looks like in that cancelled TMNT 4 Rafael could have been the main antagonist then eventually go back to normal in the end

[@antenna_prolly]

I know it's dumb, and I'm not really what you'd consider a Turtles fan per se, but just out of curiosity--not as a major main investment, but as a side project--I'd like to see where you could go with the Blue Door ideas.

[@mightyfilm]

I agree with Peter on this. I'm REALLY glad that "Next Mutation" movie never happened. It was a terrible concept when they used it on the last seasons of the 1980's cartoon. At best, it could have barely worked as a comic book story arc. The Foot Walks had potential, but it has so much bad 90's comic book poisoning corrupting the concept. "Kasey Jones?" "Spyder?" You can pretty much taste Surge just looking at those concepts.

[@terrywright8289]

The Trimark live action movie has much potential, especially the new characters very unique SI-FI like. But the thing that's more exciting, is when they resurrected The Supershredder.Matter of fact instead of calling TMNT:The Foot Walks Again, it should've been titled Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Return of Shedder.

[@brandonspain12345]

For me, the fact it was gonna be made by Trimark worries me. They're mostly known for making ultra low budget direct-to-video movies. Unlike the 3 TMNT movies which had a $15 to $25 million budget, Trimark had a $3 to $4 million budget for most of their films. Keep in mind, this is the same studio that made the Leprechaun movies, which had some awful effects. So the costumes and effects on the 4th film most likely could have been Turtle Tunes territory.
