So now that there are two versions of the turtles...


It feels a bit awkward bringing this point up, but now that there are two versions of the turtles (the future ones back on earth and the past ones who went into space) will then April will end up with Donnie in one version while in the other version she will hook up with Casey? I can see the writers doing something like that so they can appease the shipping fans.

It's possible but not very likely. The space turtles convinced their other selves, the original group, to go into space with Fugitoid in order to keep the timeline going strait. They have now also saved Earth and Splinter so the original group have gone back in time six months to make sure that the events of that night happen exactly the way we saw them. The turtles we are going with now are the space turtles who are now continuing their adventures following those events. Basically the timeline has now forked off in two directions with the Earth's destruction being Timeline A and this new one being Timeline B, so it's the same group of young heroes and we are simply following Timeline B, in which case which of the boys April will end up with is still yet to be determined.

Wouldn't it be three timelines?

1. The original one where Earth is destroyed.
2. Earth is saved, timeline 1 turtles take place of timeline 2 turtles.
3. Timeline 2 turtles go back in time, but considering the drastically different circumstances there is likely to be a massive butterfly effect.

Then, when the TL3 turtles return to Earth, they'll have to send yet another group back in time, wash, rinse, repeat. Probably would have been better just to kill the TL2 turtles, April, and Casey, instead of just screwing with timelines and the multiverse. Since Earth was saved, there was no real need to send them back in time, other than that two groups of the same six people needed to be dealt with.

Thit and thpin!
