Why do the turtles have a poster of Shredder in their lair?

Anyone notice the shredder poster in some episodes? Why would you have a poster of your hated enemy on your wall lol.

Obviously it's to throw darts at or draw silly mustaches on.

Ha. I have seen that. Maybe they use it for target practice.

Exactly what I was thinking! Although I do wonder if they bought it from a store or one of the turtles just drew it up.

Donnie probably had a camera phone or something before camera phones were actually a thing. OT Donnie could pretty much create anything. He snaps a photo of Shredder during a battle ( Bonus points if he manages to catch an image of Shredder looking stupid right after taking a punch or something ) they take the resulting photograph to a professional and have it made into a poster. Just like that they have a nice new dart board.

As a reminder that your hated enemy is still around to cause trouble.

I never really noticed that, but I assume they did it as a practice thing.

Remember in the recent Amazing Spider-Man that Peter took a Wanted Poster for the hood that killed Ben and penned it on his mirror? Also, how Rocky posted a newspaper clipping of Ivan Drago's image? Both cases are the remind the hero of thier mission and drive them to beat their opponent when the moment comes. The Ninja Turtles proably keep an image of Shredder to remind them of what they do and to drive them totrain harder.

Interesting comparison. But...

Nah, the OT turtles would TOTALLY just keep it around to deface it and throw stuff at it.

Leonardo: Target-practice...

Haha, I was thinking of that scene and how Leonardo would have much rather had a Shredder poster than a Toaster poster.

Seriously, though, why did April have a picture of a toaster hanging in her apartment. I think getting that building destroyed was a mercy killing!

You know how April was considered a narcissist in the show? Well, you can't get much more pretentious than thinking a portrait of a toaster is 'fine art'.

*Xav* · 09-10-2012, 08:20 PM

Does anyone have an image?

You ever heard of Andy Warhol, of the Campbell's Soup cans fame?

HA! wasn't he throwing lipstick at it?

I believe I saw a Shredder poster in the laird with ninja stars stuck in it during some of the OT series.

the same reason Rocky had a pic of Ivan Drago on his mirror

*Jephael* · 09-11-2012, 08:52 AM

The Turtles have used all sorts of images of Shredder to help in their training. They've used a Shredder pinate, a Shredder dummie and even a cardboard cut out.

Yup. April is a lipstick hoarder.

I noticed the Shredder poster wasn't up in season 9, the season he wasn't in.

*TheSkeletonMan939* · 09-11-2012, 03:17 PM

And why did the lair have a traffic sign in it?

Maybe because teenagers steal stuff like that.
