TMNT appreciation thread (I thought we needed a thread for all things turtle related)

Every episode Shredder takes his scumbaggery to a new level idk who's worse this Shredder or the 2003 Utron Shredder both of them are certified Pos

I used to say 03 shredder but after this episode today it's gotta be this one. Then again maybe not. The move he made was just selfish and shortsighted as hell. And stupid lol. But it's the same move shredder made in turtles forever

That's why I say it's a toss up right now. This Shredder is a terrible combination of a selfish, delusional, and evil. Only reason he even helped was for Karai's possibility of being alive, but ended up I rather kill Yoshi and kill everything else in the process. 03 Shredder was evil for the sake of it

Well that's because he was just pure evil. There was no reasoning with him. 03 shredder is mike Myers. This shredder is Freddy: you understand why one of them is so angry and vengeful. You don't agree with it or tolerate it but you get it. The other is just pure evil and cannot be bargained with or reasoned with. He just wants to kill and be empowered

After watching this ep again I might have to say this Shredder is the worst of all. Like he was really proud of himself that he destroyed the world just to kill Splinter while his back was turned. He's literally done all of the things all the previous or other current Shredder's have. The current comic Shredder captured and brainwashed Leo and turned him on the turtles, also during the Kraang invasion betrayed Donnie and had Bebop and Rocksteady try to kill him. This Shredder helps the Kraang invasion, brainwashed Raph and turned him against his brothers, kills Splinter while he's about to prevent the destruction of the Earth. 03 Spredder caught bodies, this one caught bodies 03 tried to destroy the multiverse just to kill the turtles. This Shredder actually succeeded in getting his world destroyed.

also
why are Splinter and Shredder s much more powerful than everyone in the universe. Both of them were taking out Triceratons easily they both can easily take out Leatherhead,Slash, Tigerclaw, Rocksteady, and all the other heavy hitter that have appeared on the show. I think after this Tigerclaw is going to turn on Shredder when the turtles fix everything. He was questioning Shredder's motive and Karai when they were trying to kill Casey and when they torture Mr. Morigami to find out the turtle's where-abouts season 2, plus he and Karai questioned Shredder's honor when he tried take Splinter when he was poisoned, and he wasn't down for helping the Kraang invasion. I think this might be the last straw that he cares more about revenge than his subordinates' lives and his kidnapped daughter.

Shredder in the comics was justified for having Rocksteady and Bebop murk Donnie. Donnie and Leo set Shredder up, used joining forces against the krang as a ruse, then let the krang know shredder was coming.

Shredder left R&B behind and warned Donnie, if it's a double-cross, they're gonna kill u. Still fukked up. But I don't think u can compare comic shredder to the POS in the show. Dude is a monster, through and through.

Personally I like the look of these turtles over the mid 2000's ones but this show is taking a lot of stuff from that show that I didn't know about until one day watching older show on Nick one day.

They're both borrowing heavily from the comics, with their own flourishes. This show isn't really borrowing from the 2000s show at all.

For me it is not for you nikkas that read the comics.

Yeah I noticed that too but I think that's how they always make dudes like them where only they can beat each other for the most part. When does season 4 start anybody know?

which is why i'm sharing the info with u breh. both deserve props for sticking to the source material.

You give them the props then. I'm giving props to where I saw it at first that's all. I know that first sentence sounds bad but don't it take it snarky or anything. I'm just saying I was speaking for myself on where I saw it at. Also I don't mind you telling me where they got it from but it still don't change where I saw it first at so that's where I'm giving the props to.

Last year the season premiere came on the week after the Invasion season finale. I checked next week is a rerun so I'm guessing sometime late October or 1st week of November

This Shredder has no redeeming qualities at all I agree. Even in his backstory in that turtles in time episode last month you see just how delusional he is, I think Karai will end up killing Shredder at the end of this series. He messed up her entire life and raised her to be as vengeful as himself either she or Leo is going to off the Shredder.

Even in the convo with splinter before they teamed up, this nikka was in candy land, demanding to know what splinter did to karai. Like shredder didn't: a) kidnap her as a child b) mutate her c) feed her brain worms d) send her to murk her real father. His delusion has stripped him of any possible hope for redemption.

I give the writers props tho. The only reason that death twist works is because they constantly showed shredder gives zero fukks about anything other than his own goal. That was the ultimate payoff for 3 seasons worth of character building.

One things for sure this show is very dark you wouldn't think so by the animation but they've shown Shredder actually killing characters this season Tang Shin and Splinter. Shredder is not redeemable he thinks he was justified in taking Karai and threatening to kill her every time she failed to kill the turtles or tried aligning herself with the Kraang without his permission. He's a true scumbag, he hates everything and doesn't realize Splinter's pop was forced in the same cycle as they are going through and never wanted to kill Saki's pop. That's the reason he kept Shredder to begin with, dude is just full of irrational hate. This is the 1st Shredder that I actually hate but my son love him, this is great writing
