TMNT cartoon for adults
Recently, I was in a conversation and we somehow brought up TMNT. I also heard about there possibly being a TMNT movie for adults coming out. I thought to myself, it would be awesome if they made a TMNT cartoon for adults.
Is there anyone else out there (besides me) who would like to see a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon that was meant for adult audiences?
This is what I think the show (at least the first season) should be like.... The turtles and Splinter live in their original sewer lair (at least for the first 2-4 seasons). The turtles should act just like the way they did in the newer cartoon (or at least close). I really don't care if the turtles have pupils or not (some think the TMNT look better with pupils, while others think they look better without them). But, I don't think this show (if it was ever made) should be as twisted as the adult Ren & Stimpy cartoon was. The characters in this cartoon should definetely swear and drink alcohol. This cartoon should be based on (but no 100% like) the old comic books and should be dark cartoon with a lot of action and (maybe) a little comedy in it.
If a show like this was to be made, it should air on any of these networks: Fox, TBS, TNT, USA, Cartoon Network (Adult Swim), FX or Spike TV
Here's what the characters should be like
*Leonardo: The leader (as he always was)
-mask color: Blue
-weapons: Twin Katanas
*Michelangelo: Basically the party dude and the goofy dumb ass of the group
-mask color: Orange
-weapons: Twin Nunchucks
*Donatello: Still the techno geek
-mask color: Purple
-weapon: Bo Staff
*Raphael: Still the angry short-tempered turtle of the group
-mask color: Red
-weapons: Sais
*Splinter: The wise sensei rat (as we all know was Hamato Yoshi's pet)
-robe color: either grey or tan
-weapon: Walking Stick
*April O'Neil: She could either be an assistant to Dr. Stockman (like in the newer cartoon) or she could be a news reporter (like in the classic cartoon and the live action movies). Either way, she owns and operates the 2nd Time Around antique store which could eventually get burned down by the foot
*Casey Jones: A vigilante who is hell bent on thwarting crime in New York City. Before he meets the turtles, he could just be beating the [beep] out of street punks (robbers, muggers and street gangs)
-weapons: Hockey Stick, 2 Baseball Bats and either a Golf Club or a Lacrosse Stick
*Oroku Saki/Shredder: In this one, Oroku Saki/Shredder should be human (not like in the newer cartoon where it turned out he was a little alien in a robotic body ) and still the leader of the foot clan.
-armor color: Dark red (like in the 90 movie) for the first season (and maybe a little of season 2) and then silver (like in the newer cartoon) for later on
-weapons: The blades on his armor and either a sword or spear
*Shredder's right hand man (name undecided): He could be like Hun (from the newer cartoon) who started out as a street gang member until he joined the foot, or he could be like Tatsu (from the 1990 TMNT movie and TMNTII) who was a ninja warrior.
*Dr. Stockman: He should be just like he was in the newer cartoon (of course with a few differences). (as before) He would build Mouser Robots for the Shredder or any other big villain. He himself could be a big villain (in some cases) and just be an ally to Shredder.
*Foot Ninjas: They should look similar to the ones in the 90 TMNT movie and TMNTII (of course make a few changes). They should be teenagers and maybe some could be young adults (like people in their early 20s)
weapons: Foot Ninjas could come armed with either 1 or two ninja swords, a bo staff, a battle axe, a bow and arrow or they could just come unarmed. Each individual Foot Ninja decides.
