First, no it's not, it's a shit idea. No one really cares about Slinter, and they sure as fuck don't care when he was just a normal rat... what is the point of a story about mutant animals when they are not MUTANT!!!!‽???? The Origins of the Ninja Turtles was a Daredevil spoof joke, to try to do more to expand the backstory into something "epic" more is just idiotic.
I'm aware that the modern TMNT comic do have a larger backstory now for the turtles, they are now reincarnations of medieval japanese kids, sons of a japanese ninja who is also reincarnated as slinter... yes..
But I'm also aware that those TMNT comic sell like wet farts... so what?
But if you think the pitch is so great Robert, then write the script fatass. The most useless thing in the industry you so oh much want to break in are these crappy "pop thing A meets pop thing B" elevator pitches. Everybody fancies themselves as a idea man, but few have the stones to do the heavy lifiting.
Heck, David Mamet goes a step further, he said everyone can write a great first act, because that is just the set up, the meat and potatoes though? few can deliver.
But nah, keep twitting your frustrations away, it's the only way you ever hope to be trully entretaining.
