Aunt May has cancer and Paramount is rebooting the TMNT

Thanks to a small slip of the tongue, the idea of a TMNT reboot was revealed to the public. I'm excited yet afraid.
Bay is still a Producer... Rise of the TMNT exists and could influence the movie. Personally, they need to go back to basics. And I mean truly back to basics, as in the earliest Eastman and Laird kind of basics. Like, sure, you can have 2 Purple Dragons wearing Bebop and Rocksteady outfits as a nod to fans (and potential sequels) but you keep the movie Mostly Mirage based. Even starting with the red bandanas until April teaches the boys some individuality.

What I'd do for this first movie is literally base it on the first two Mirage comics.
I'd start like in the 90s movie with the reports on crime striking New York, which would be what Splinter uses to test his students. The turtles have their skirmish with the Dragons and return home where Splinter is watching a morning show segment where the Mousers are shown.

We get Baxter's betrayal. He has been working with the Purple Dragons and a mysterious third party to commit multiple robberies. April tries to escspe via a storm drain and Stockman sends the Mousers. The turtles save her, we get the Origin of Splinter and the TMNT. Baxter makes his plans for destroying key buildings throughout the city.
(Bonus points if the voice distorter used gives him a fly-like voice)

The turtles stop Baxter's plot with April when personnel from Oroku Securities extract Stockman. The CEO of Oroku Securities is none other than Oroku Saki, the Shredder. The turtles challenge Saki to a duel for the honor of the Hamato family. They fight the Ashinin (Foot Ninja) when the Shredder appears:
"Kon'ya wa kamesūpu o tabemasu" are his first words before nearly beating up the Turtles.
The turtles, eventually beat Shredder and give him a chance to commjt seppuku, but the Shtedder was a body double who blows himself up in an attempt to kill the turtles.

The turtles barely escape and return home. At Oroku Securities, Saki chastises Stockman for his terrorist plot which ruined Shtedder's plans. Stockman is dismissed and Saki answers a call from a Mr. Krang from the Techno Global Research Institute.

You have a MOSTLY Mirage TMNT but with nods to the 1987 and 2003 cartoons with a set up for a sequel with Casey and Mutants.

The test results came back and Aunt May definitely has cancer. I used a reference from The Room! And this shocking revelation reeks of a cheap stunt... Last time they put May close to death, Peter went to the Devil for help.
The time before that she was replaced by an actress...
Marvel doesn't have the stones to teuly kill Aunt May.
