WHO TOLD YOU THIS?!?!?!?

...and the CGI movie was a sequel, not a re-make.

a good movie at that!

I have had an Idea for a turtles book for about 10 years now. It would be about them being older....

This sounds awesomely awesome.

A few years back when I was living in Boston, I was on a date with this fella. We were walking to a bar and we walked over a grate in the sidewalk just as the T was going by. This lead to a discussion about sewers and what was really down there. I made a joke about how the only thing that lived down there was Master Splinter and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. I was met with a combination of a blank stare and a slight look horror. Needless to say, I blame the TMNT for the failed date.

Don't blame TMNT!! If that guy wasn't into TMNT as a kid, and can't make a light reference to it, then fuck him. He's probably a massive tool anyways.

Splinter has died and the turtles all took it pretty hard. Mikey lives in New York still in an old subway tunnel and has let him self go and just eats and watches TV most of the time, Don also lives in NY still but has not spoken to his brothers in a while and has sort of lost his mind a bit and is always doing weird experiments. Leonardo still practices ninjitsu and remains faithful to the teachings of his father. No one has seen Raph in over 10 years. The story would be told through Casey Jones’ eyes who is now and old man himself and has been a privet detective for some time now. He still visits the turtles individually just to keep up on them and to make sure they are okay.

One visit with Don he stumbles across dons new experiment to clone splinter. Scattered around Dons home are things of splinters and even 10-12 caged rats. Don tells Casey he needs his father back and how he is going to break into the university’s lab to do the cloning. This scares Casey so he tells Leo and explains that don is going to get into trouble. Word of this leaks out to the remaining foot clan that is scattered through out New York. Still upset that the turtles destroyed Shredder they plot to kill Don as a way to avenge their master. Long story short the night comes and all the turtles reunite at this Lab to stop Don and then the foot clan attacks! A huge battle ensues and during this the experiment goes wrong and during the fight something happens and a huge explosion happens killing all the foot clan and all the turtles except for leo. Leo crawls from the crumbled smoldering ruble to find his dead brothers and then stumbles upon four baby Rats……

Let's do this. I will help. me likey, mikey.

I need help because I think I could sell this story but I have no Idea how to get it to people that can make this happen!

Best we could do is a novelization set in the universe. Let's brainstorm soon and make an outline

I don't, I was being sarcastic

[urvile]

^that would have gave me a major boner. Then I would have proceed to geek out and scare the girl away but um.... yeah... so, how 'bout them turtles?

oh... whatever. CGI always ruins things, so I didn't see it. Sequel eh...?

[urvile]

I thought the movie looked okay, and the Leonardo/Raphael rivalry was an interesting idea but overall the plot was meh

[mig50]

i've said it numerous times before and i'll continue saying it til my dying day - the first TMNT film is a legitimately good piece of cinema. even without being a big fan of the turtles (which i obviously was when i first saw it) there are still a lot of really great things about the movie - cinematography, soundtrack, overall feel, blah blah blah.

its such a goddamn shame that the second and third movies were total jokes compared to the first one.

Since there were only 3 of us and Michelangelo was douchey, we just pretended like he didn't exist.

Hey! Michelangelo was always my favorite!

Like everything awesome when I was a child, my cousin had all of the action figures, VHS tapes, and even a TMNT lamp. I did not. My mom gave me my first knife at 8 but thought TMNT was too violent. I love my mom....
I watched it anyway.

[jeremx]

tmnt were just after my time. i was more thundercats, he-man, gi joe. never got into'em.

sorry!

i actually mis-spoke in my first post in this thread. i was talking to my sister about TMNT and said that i had made a shizz thread and that she used to always play Raphael and she was like "No, i was always Michelangelo. Raphael was boring and had the shittiest weapons"

so, though i never cared for Michelangelo's california-dude/chillaxed attitude, my sister did. And to be fair, nunchucks are pretty awesome
