2K12 Shredder, insane or not?

[Candy Kappa]

Nick Shredder isn't insane, just obssessed and one track minded about getting his revenge.

We'll see more of Shredder and the Foot when the Kraang is dealt with. The Kraang is much more important to stop sicne they want to terraform the world and take over it, while the Foot is after just the turtles.

[BabyTurtles]

well let's see....

1) he wants to kill his old rival....
2) he wants to kill ninja turtles...
3) he told karai that splinter killed his wife XD.....
4) he'd rather get his revenge than save the world from aliens
5)....he doesn't even ASK how Bradford and Xever got mutated......and he seems even less interested in how the turtles are ninjas!

XD.......he might be a litttle..crazy.

but I thought all villains were.

I don't think he's straight up insane, but I do think he's too obsessed with revenge on Yoshi and the Turtles. We'll have to wait and see what they have him do in season 2 to see if he's really insane.

Also, I agree that 2K3 Karai lost it when she became Shredder.

Shredder have shown to let reason give him something to think about, like kidnapping that Kraang and not pursuing the plan of blowing up the whole sewer system of New York.

Insanely boring, yes. He has a good VA though.

Indeed. I hope they make him DO more in future episodes.

I don't really see how this Shredder is buffoonish though, I mean the Turtles haven't even beaten him in a fight. The first time he was distracted by Bradford and Xever, and the second time he was hit by a Kraang ship.

The insane Shredder bit goes to 2K3 Karai.

And her father.

Didn't work either, so then he decided to fight them himself (something Ch'rell did the very first time he had the chance, after he found out he couldn't get them to join him, something the 2012 Shredder never even considered, he could've used them to find Splinter). Well, both Shredders beat the Turtles, but both teams got away.

2012 Shredder's next step was to destroy the Turtles' home with chlorosurfonic acid, it doesn't work, the Turtles beat The Foot again, and AGAIN Shredder does nothing. At all. He just tells Karai to ''destroy them when you have the chance'' and he himself just sits on his ass.

Ch'rell on the other hand sends his ninja into the sewers, causing the Turtles to flee, but he finds them and beats the crap out of them (even WITH Splinter present there this time!). He practically killed them if it wasn't for that secret door in the closet in April's store. What does 2012 Shredder do? Let Baxter Stockman do his dirty work without even knowing anything about his plan or what he's gonna do (the Maze).

This new Shredder is an incompetent idiot.

Not only is the Shredder is an incompetent idiot and he also boring too.

[Karai Samurai]

All villains have to be a wee bit insane to be, well, villainous, but Shredder is not completely off the deep end. He definitely has some sociopathic tendencies, but again, that's just a villain thing.

Totally agree. The Foot (especially the Karai-centric) episodes feel more special to me. It seems like most of the Kraang plot will wrap up this season so I hope we'll get a more Foot focused season two.

It's still too soon to judge, the Pilot was all about The Kraang, the first season should center more around that.

I wouldn't say this Shredder is "insane", he does have a madness, but every villain should that.
