If there was another Ninja Turtles series what would you like to see?

I semi-agree, but that type of structure can be easily abused into
"Have basic hints of story throughout the season but nothing really significant, then jam all the plot into the last 2-3 episodes" syndrome.

I'd rather have one that flows from episode to episode rather than a "loose and then compressed" season. Avatar did this best in the second season, making each episode both stand alone and contribute something significant to the overall narrative. Beast Wars is another show that did this excellently.
 
Like I said before, something slightly darker and with a slight edge, but nothing that would prevent it from getting air time on CN or something. I also would wait a few years before doing a complete rebrand.........
 
The only thing I really have to add is, please, no CGI or live action. The latter I can't really see happening again after the failure of Next Mutation, but the former could be a distinct possibility, especially since it already nearly happened once before (if I can't remember correctly), and because the last movie used that style. I really am not a fan of the designs from the 2007 movie at all, and I just can't imagine villians like Krang, Bebop, and Rocksteady translating any better in CGI.



That villians cast could make for the best Ninja Turtles Cartoon ever, as long as they make story a central element and have at least some villians pose a threat to the turtles. :p
 
I imagine that a Usagi Yojimbo animated series would be sort of like Samurai Jack in a rabbit suit. My main complaint with Usagi is that he has no sense of humor, so I'm not sure if I'd want to follow him for an entire series.
 
I would want a mixture of the two. I think the best way to do this would be to be put the Turtles in serious, threatening situations but have the Turtles react and solve these situations in comical ways.
 
Since every new TMNT cartoon has made less eps than the previous, I doubt a new TMNT cartoon would go beyond 52 episodes.

The original series made 193 episodes and the 2k3 series made 155 episodes. Both of them had very good runs.

But I bet a new series would go on for about 52 eps and be canceled, which is just a fraction of how long the original two lasted. Given the CW is dead for it...the only opportunity is a CN TMNT series...but Cartoon Network does not like TMNT.
 
Count me as someone who'd like to see something closer to the Archie comics. The Archie version of the Turtles has a large amount of characters and stories to adapt to animation. Since the 2k3 series pretty much adapted everything they could from the Mirage comics (minus Shadow, Savanti Juliet, Complete Carnage and Radical, some of whom I wouldn't mind seeing in this upcoming series), and I can't think of many characters and stories from the Fred Wolf series that I'd really want to see reused in another series (just the crew at Channel 6, Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady and the Punk Frogs), I'd say adapting the Archie comics is the way to go.
 
Back in the day I read tmnt comics that to this day is the most visually etched in my mind. If they can recapture the level of horror that image gave me, they've done their job. I mean, the it was just a monster, a true monster mutant freak, not some cleanly drawn hard edges crap. The thing had smooth but reptilian skin texture. I think it was an overgrown raphael, but yeah that and give ratking a serious take on his character and my life is complete.
 
What makes you think that? Sure, they might have played up the more serious side of his personality for the cartoon, but the character itself is far from humorless.
 
I think maybe they should shoot for a specific ammount of episodes and tell a dark, chilling and enjoyable story within those given ammount of episodes, kind of like anime does. Producers could decide on 26 episodes and tell their story within those ammount of alloted eps, only problem is that network execs would probably not like the idea of a shortened series like that because if it succeeds they will want to order more episodes for future airings.
 
Oh crud, how did I miss this? Great, now I'm a bit worried for this series, at least when it comes to the art direction. :shrug:
 
I thik its still to early, i don't think we really need another tmnt series for another 3-5 years or so, nothing wrong with giving the turtles a break.

I'd Rather See A Usagi Yojimbo Series myself.:sweat:
 
A break would be fine I suppose but come on now it's the 25th Anniversary and a new movie is only a few years away. They're not going to be playing the reruns for that long (well actually they might, 4kids tends to do that with series that have completed their run but still get some ratings).

I don't mind if another TMNT doesn't make it to 100 but I think it could if it connected with the audience.

When you say each series got less than the previous cartoon you're right but that's only 2 series to judge that on. Where as if you factor in all television series of Ninja Turtles then clearly 2003 lasted a heck of a lot longer than The Next Mutation (ah yes but that doesn't really exist does it... well I have a VHS tape as proof! So ha! XD)

Most American cartoons don't seem to last more than 52 episodes however and if a future TMNT only accomplished that... that'd be fine as long as it was good. I'd certainly like to see more but I wouldn't hope for it. Infact I wouldn't expect more than 26 episodes (two 13 episode seasons) but I'd at least hope for 52 since that's standard for cable cartoons at least.
 
That is a very good list, save Karai, Elite, Hun, Armaggon, and Bisop, I am sure they have potential, but they are not the ones I mostly grew up with watching the show and playing the games, but add Metalhead, Groundhog, Dirtbag, and Lieutenant Granitor the Stone Warrior (the other rock soldier). Would Pizzaface, Muckman, Scumbug, Wyrm, Chrome Dome, and Hothead also be good choices?

I know this is just your opinion, but you're refusing a number of good, developed familiar characters from the recent version in favor of obscure characters from your childhood. Isn't that practically alienating TMNT's main audience?

TMNT Nick is only about 2-3 years away, so wouldn't it make sense to incorporate some of the 2k3 regulars to keep the interest of the former audience who grew up with this version as well?
 
I think every TMNT cartoon should probably last at least 150 episodes, there's always enough story potential to cover the franchise when you have 150 stories.

A 52 ep series wouldn't be very good for TMNT, you just can't accomplish much with so few episodes.
 
If you make good use of the material you can. Cut the filler episodes out of 4kids run and you'd have more than 52 episodes but if you paced those stories even better so at most you'd have 2 parters rather than drawn out 3-4 parters then you could accomplish plenty in 52 episodes.

I'm all for more but be reasonable.

And afterall this series is over but it will always be there and that's plenty good on it own. I'd be content without another Ninja Turtles series but to keep the brand relevant there will have to be another some day or it will fade into obscurity and I'd hate to see that happen.
