Analysts at the National Research Group have indicated that the forthcoming merger between Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery presents the most promising opportunity for a reboot of Sex and the City… featuring the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Merger's Unexpected Potential

Despite concerns surrounding the consolidation of major studios, the report highlights unexpected creative benefits. Industry analyst Aaron Lewiston explained that the merger unlocks possibilities previously unattainable, particularly if Netflix had acquired Warner Bros. Discovery.

A Turtle-Themed Manhattan

“Fans have long clamored to find out whether Leonardo, Donatello, Raphael, or Michelangelo is the Carrie of the group, and when this deal goes through, we’ll have a real chance of finding out,” Lewiston stated. He envisions a TV series centered around the turtles navigating the complexities of dating within the Manhattan sewer system, complete with cosmopolitan cocktails.

The analysis further details potential storylines, including Michelangelo’s romantic life and the fashion choices of Donatello and Raphael. Lewiston also pondered Leonardo’s reflections on the challenges of maintaining friendships with former partners.

Beyond the Turtles

The report suggests the merger isn’t limited to just this unique crossover. Lewiston pointed out that no other potential buyer could have facilitated exploring scenarios like Dora the Explorer’s stay at the White Lotus.

The National Research Group’s assessment emphasizes the potential for novel storytelling that this specific studio combination provides, despite artistic community apprehension about the broader implications of the merger.
