Anyway. The reason why the only thing in the new cartoon I like is Season I (plus SOME parts of Season II) is that they killed the cartoon for me with all this Shredder overdosing. AND Baxter Stockman overdosing. Baxter had so many reincarnations, that it started to become ridiculous. Baxter as some mechanical spider, Baxter as a... brain, and whatnot...
So yeah. I personally do not want any kind of Shredder reappearance bar a flashback in future sequels.
Anyway. About future sequels. All further statements are my opinions, speculations, and whatnot. Anyway. I think that the Rat King is anyone but an evil mastermind. I think some will agree with me. This guy doesn't go for world domination, or something, and the main thing is: he CARES about his followers. I.e. rats. He cares about rats. Including mutated form of rats, heh.
The thing is, the Rat King and the Turtles... well, they, basically, don't like each other for some reason. Maybe the Rat King gathers so many rats that they actually start bringing harm to people (like the Rat King cares anyway....). But, the thing is, Splinter may be the bonding point between the RK and the TMNT. I mean, RK maybe could save/try to save Splinter at some point, and then learns that he and TMNT ARE connected.
And Baxter Stockman... well, I don't know how much Max Winters is an evil mastermind, but... we could change the evil mastermind part of Baxter Stockman. Maybe this Baxter just wants to help the city. I mean, the pesky rat concentration becomes so strong that it is dangerous. So he just wants to help the world or something by creating Mousers. Maybe he has troubles with funds to proceed with his, uhm... Rat Crusade! And he just notices the opportunity to use the Mousers as robbers of banks to continue his... "quest" or something...
Well, anyway, what I'm trying to say is that it would be cool if there would be no main villian or something. Several groups with different points of views on things, and basically, from different points of view they're all right. That would be cool, IMO.
