So I came across this clip where an artist drew cartoon villains as good guys...
 

And that gave me an idea.

Suppose if we would let our imagination run wild and do the same.

Shredder
- Imagine him in that "Tales of the Yokai" situation but as he struck down Tang Shen and finds Yoshi barely alive. What if he came to his senses? What if he expressed remorse at what he had done and told Yoshi as the latter was dying in his arms. And Yoshi telling him about Tang Shen wanting to raise baby Miwa in New York city and urging Saki as an act of redemption he would fulfill that wish. Oroku Saki as the leader of a righteous Foot clan. - So what would he look like? I would probably depict him as an older version of Prince Zuko but not with a face mask, he should be wearing his scars proudly. I would also draw him using regal colors, Burgundy and Gold replacing the Purple and Silver.

I'll think of more later but don't be surprised if I draw that idea for real.

Wow that’d be so cool dude, if u do end up making it, will u post it here? Cause I wanna see that

Anybody thinking it's possible to make Ultimate Drako look heroic? I dare you to make this twisted abomination look the least bit heroic.

Honestly I think a heroic Drako is a tough sell.

Yeah, that's kinda the point.
