Do we think The Shredder's demise is near?
 

I've watched all of S2 (from what's been released) so far and you can really feel the rivalry between Splinter and the Turtles hotting up against The Shredder & The Foot clan. The last episode with all of them facing off against each other had me a little excited for some sort of war between the two camps. But I'd hate it if it were just a minor defeat again for The Shredder, I actually want to see him defeated properly this time and maybe we won't hear from him in a while.

I may be asking a lot cause I can't see it happening, but I'd love like a huge final confrontation between Splinter and The Shredder and maybe Splinter being defeated in some way, which leads the Turtles to get together and take him down. I also would love The Foot to learn of the TUrtles lair sooner or later, it would be amazing to see The Shredder enter the lair and attack in some way :D

Possibly, but I don't see the Shredder dying this season. It is more likely the Shredder may gain the upper hand, and the Turtles would be forced to take those they consider family and flee the city if they want to survive.

I would wager in the Turtles absence the Shredder would obsessively feel that his enemies are still alive and would start amassing an army of mutants as he has his followers search the city for the Turtles and their allies. Maybe capture Karai so she can be restored to human, or brainwashed in to believing it was the Turtles and Splinter who made her into what she is. And gain a stronger hold upon the city.

In the mean time the Turtles themselves are recovering from their defeat, becoming stronger warriors, and becoming a more cohesive team. One of the things Shredder really underestimates with the Turtles is the strength they have together as a family. And that is an error that will certainly cost the Shredder by the end of season three.

Shredder's death probably won't happen till the final season of this show.

No can't see Shredder dying any time soon.

I do think at the end of season 3 the turtles and Shredder will fight, the turtles will defeat him and they think he's dead but he will be back sometime in season 4 more stronger.

I don't about dying but I doubt he'll remain human though. Seriously, he's litaralily the only human member of the Foot Clan left, I even think he's the only human villain left.

Maybe he'll become like a shark or a dragon or a cyborg or something.

Or Super Shredder.

I can't see them getting rid of him till the end of Season 3 at the earliest.

Yeah, they won't get rid of him till the series is almost done.

I could see them doing a big defeat for Shredder at the end of season 3 but then bringing him back stronger and even more lethal than ever mid/late season 4.

I certainly don't think he's going down this season. Opposite in fact, I think he's gonna decimate the guys and that's why they're gonna retreat out of the city (like in many previous versions of the franchise).

I definitely don't want to see the Shredder killed off.

just from what weve seen/heard, i think shredders gonna be winning this fight.

but i get what youre saying. something is bound to happen soon. hes had so many faceoffs with the turtles and splinter after this season, its getting to a point where i dont think he can stand it.

so again, dont think itll happen just yet. i like the idea of him forming an army of the rogue mutants. but his "splinter and the turtles are still out there, and now were going to end them" is getting redundant. something needs to happen.

theres always ways to "kill him off" without actually killing him off. have them believe hes dead, super shredder, etc

Maybe he will be "gone" for a while.

Doing What and why?

That actually sounds like a really cool idea for a plot for season 3!

Perhaps he will be sent into Dimension X

Hope not - this is an excellent portrayal of Shredder and the Shredder centric episodes are my favourite, generally speaking.

That'd be cool if he was offed during the Return To New York.

But who would take his place as leader?

Maybe TigerClaw could do it?

Got an idea, kinda flawed, but I could see them doing it.

after the turtles get out of the city, shredder is pissed and decides to go after them. He leaves his henchman in New York telling them to be on alert if the turtles come back.

Now here's where bebop and rocksteady could come in. Shredder could either go to steranko to get equipment or weapons to hunt the turtles, and sternanko and bebop (forget his name) try to steal the helmet while he's there, leading to mutating. Or they could just go after him with the same result
