AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW WHAT?! THOSE WERE THE BEST ONES! Combining animation, comedy, music, and dare I say-DRAMA!

Okay let's not go THAT far, Twilight love is two million times WAY more wrong than Renet and Mikey. Renet x Mikey is just simple puppy love, Twilight was...NOPE-don't want to explain how...utterly disgusting the romance in that series got...*SHUTTERS*!

And sure...but equating Baxter Stockman to the level of Satan is a TAD odd. Also(and this is a legit criticism I've had on the comic since volume one) WHY is he like how he is? While the 2K12 version is a joke, we KNOW why he's as nuts as he is, Mirage Stockman is never given that option for back-story. He is JUST nuts, and honestly that's weak.

Let's take a GOOD crazy villain, Mojo Jojo from Powerpuff Girls. He's evil, because when he was a normal Chimpanzee he would destroy everything the professor worked on because it was BASIC animal instinct to do so, and the addition of super intelligence merely amplified that to the surface. One could even theorize it was a primal need to out-wit his human master.

Mirage Stockman? NOPE-just crazy evil,  no reason. Evil without reason lacks all SORTS of depth, almost every Shredder including the 87 version was motivated by either ambition or vengeance, both motives based in humanity and logic, I can BELIEVE that. Honestly in my opinion, 2K12 Stockman is more fleshed out as a villain than his original counterpart, because despite his mutant fly appearance he feels more human than his predecessors.
