I want to see a TMNT series where while Shredder is a criminal mastermind, a master strategist, and one of the greatest and most powerful fighters in the world, he is not immune to the weirdness around him, and tends to have fairly normal and reasonable reactions of "what. the. @$%&." to it all.
And he comes to absolutely hate the turtles, because he can never fully account for their absurdity. Because how? How to you effectively plan for four mutant turtle ninja teenagers and their rat master?
You set a trap for them, and they never show up. You think they cleverly saw through your bait, but unbeknownst to you, they're fighting an insane homeless guy who lives in the sewers and has a thing for rats.
You set another trap for them, and this one is perfect. You've taken into account everything you know about them. Will they split up? Will they bring the rat? Will they bring that hockey clown? You've thought of it all. You're even prepared if they bring a robot or maybe even an alligator.
What you didn't anticipate though is you're now suddenly getting thoroughly stomped by the giant-ass orange alien dinosaur man they found on the way over. Because how? How do you plan for that?
He can deal with Interpol, the CIA, the police, covert strike teams, and just about anything the various governments throw at him, but his global criminal empire is crumbling because of the buffoonery of four teenage mutant ninja turtles.
I absolutely hate it and I'm tired of staring at it and trying to make it good. So just take it as it is.
Raph got that deep scar over his shoulder and chest from the first battle with the Shredder. Turns out the mother fucker is a tad bit mutated and a tad bit sharp with or without his steel claws. No bueno! Leo got there in time to help but the damage had already been done. Progression sketches under the cut
Well…it appears as though finding these creatures will be easier than I thought. Capturing them, on the other hand, might prove difficult.
There is one option.
Yes. I know. Bring me… the Shredder.
For this assignment I wanted to animate some of my fav human characters rather than the turtles since I animated Leo for my last one (it's unfinished but I'll post it when I get something comprehensive done) and theses two are so fun to animate! It helped that this audio still makes me laugh even after listening to it about 500 times now.
I fully intend to exploit this shows characters to motivate me to complete all of my assignments, so I'll make sure to post them when I do.

A 14 second animation synced to the Youtuber haiyoe's Mountain Chicken skit. The two characters are April in Foot Soldier disguise and Cassandra.
Transcript:
"MOTHER F******!" (Crashing sound) "YOU!"
(Terrified) "hm?"
"Have you ever heard of a mountain chicken!?" (*The Shredder)
"Please don't hurt me"
(Calmer) "Have you ever heard of a mountain. chicken?" (*The Shredder)
(Whispered) "No"
"What do you think they look like? "
"Like a really big chicken?" (*Like a really terrifying antagonist?) (Side text reads 'panic button' repeatedly)
"THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT BUT NO! IT'S THIS MOTHER FU-"
Putting the finishing touches on Shredder’s origin story for my Mutant Mayhem fic!
I know you guys came the turtle angst, but hope you stay for an abridged history of the Japanese postwar economic miracle and subsequent domination of the global consumer electronics market leading to a staggering amount of corporate Japanese investment in American real estate during the 1980s including "trophy" properties in New York City
