Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

It's not idiotic, it's absurd. Which the cartoon was meant to be.

How is this not a problem with every version of TMNT ever?

>How is this not a problem with every version of TMNT ever?

Let's see here:

In the Mirage Studios comics and the first Live-action movie, the Shredder does NOT have the resources to conquer the world, nor does he want to. He's just some mob boss, once Hamato Yoshi was dead, all he wanted was money. That's it.

In the 2003 cartoon, Shredder could in theory take over the world before the Turtles ever showed up. However, doing so might alert his homeworld to what he's up to and might never get a chance to conquer it due to the inferior weapons on earth. Better to make it back home first, conquer that planet and then rule earth.

In the IDW comics, Shredder was in stasis until only a few months or so before his enemies reincarnated as Turtles and a Rat. Destiny is the basic explaination there, and he had other rivals to take care of first before his conquest.

In the 2012 cartoon he's just some bitter asshole who wasn't interested in much outside of getting revenge. The only reason he did anything between his fight with Yoshi and the start of the series is that he suspected Yoshi might have been raising an army against him.

In the 2014 movie he did have a plan to take over the world, it just required the turtles to work. Without them, there was nothing he could do.

>80's Cartoon Shredder conquering the world.
Come on OP, this guy couldn't conquer a playground.

>>No money
>Goes straight to the sewer

We don't know that he went straight there, but he was in a foreign land, with no friends or family to turn to, and no money, so you can piece together how it happened.

>His enemy tries to poison him
>Uses a monster creating formula instead of poison

Clearly, he didn't want to just kill him, he wanted to ruin his life in every aspect. He hated him that much.

>Starts training the turtles
>Somehow his enemy doesn't take over the world in the time that would take, despite clearly having the resources

He got the mutagen because he had allied himself with Krang, who was alone on Earth with limited resources. They had Bebop and Rocksteady's gang working for them, stealing the equipment they needed to build the Technodrome. The implication is that they've only just finished work on it by the time they first encounter the Turtles, so were in no position to take over the world before then.

Well that depends, is the playground empty?

I just want the Usagi episode to finally air.
I can't wait to see what voice they give him this time.

Might be, but I guess we will find out.

>>93146051
Why does this fucker have Alopex's purple facepaint?

>>93145607
Even then he'd still give up. He was SUCH a jobber.
