Ubisoft is the Shredder of game companies. Evil, but ultimately their plans would fall apart even without the Turtles intervening because they are just awful.

Shredder never even has defined plans. Now granted, I was a kid in the 80s. If the new series is different, I don't know. I didn't even see the micheal bay movies. I saw the original cartoon, the first 3 movies, and the "coming out of our shell" tour.

Shredder always just kind of showed up, and maybe robbed a jewelry store. Or kidnapped April and that skinny news reporter guy.

There never seemed to be a plan. It was always just vague "do crime and evil shit...."

Then they introduced the mafia, who for some reason just liked tickling everybodies feet.

In the original comics the Shredder is killed in the first issue.

Also shredder was kinda cool, even if evil.

I only know the OG cartoon and movies, myself. Shredder wasn't even the true villain in the OG cartoon after a certain point; he became Krang's bumbling henchman in like the second or 3rd season. Krang, being the literal brains of the operstion had plans and Shredder, well... Shredded them.

So I ended up reading up on the original comics because I knew they were a bit darker than the cartoons. It seems shredder is only in volume 1 of 4. In it he's basically a New York Yakuza boss that kills splinters master. So splinter trains the turtles to kill shredder. After that he does get resurrected once, but after that he stays dead.

Volume 2 cover a full on battle with DARPA (for experimenting on aliens and turtles), Volume 3 has a possible daughter of shredder trying to get revenge, but volume 4 retcons volume 3 and focuses on a future where aliens come to earth and the turtles can roam the streets as "aliens" (which isn't that weird for the series as aliens first appear in volume 1).

So, yeah, it gets kinda weird.

they even attempted some propaganda by using a show, mythic quest in the pandemic.
