No...no joke characters fit well with a series that was original a parody comic. You can pretend it was the pure serious thing it was, but it was always based in sillyness. Need I remind you of the car-chase ripped RIGHT out of Blues Brothers? Also check that out. And the foot clan are LITERALLY a parody of the Hand. And yes Shredder BECAME harmless, because he was obsessed with revenger, similar to his predecessor. Maybe less violent, but he still had the same motives as his predecessor. And finally-THERMITE GRENADE! Just...what? WHY WOULD HE HAVE THAT?! Just silly. Also the Shredder was named after a cheese grater, he is a bad-ass with a silly silly name.

And honestly...I think 87 Baxter is a better version than his predecessor. I actuall KNEW why he became how he was, he had reason to hate the world as fate conspired against him. Mirage Stockman on the other hand was comissioned by NYC to use his robotics knowledge to stop the city rat problem and could've made millions WITHOUT being a terrorist. He is JUST greedy, no revenge, no nothing, he was probably only given ANY development as a villain because he became so popular in the show and video games.

And good, that means your THINKING!
