After escaping from prison and making an alliance with Krang, Shredder helped him build the giant teleportation device, willing to sell out all Earth and humanity in exchange for power. As the Turtles managed to stop the mechanism from releasing the toxin, Shredder tries to throw the toxins in the streets manually, on the heads of hundreds of people below the tower. When the Turtles started meddling with his schemes, Shredder ordered Karai to take the entire subway tunnel worth of people as hostages and put bombs in it, solely to draw the Turtles out of the shadows. Having killed at least 32 people, Shredder, along with his adopted son/subordinate Eric Sacks, comes up with a scheme of developing a mutagen, which is capable of curing all toxins, solely so Shredder could infect the whole New York City with a flesh-eating toxin and kill countless people, while Eric Sacks would cure New York for a price. Oroku Saki, aka the Shredder, is a powerful leader of the mysterious organization called the Foot Clan, who terrorized the streets of New York City for many years.Character Rerailment: Vernon's portrayal which sees him as friends with April who helps her and Raph rescue the others arguably has him closer to how he originally was portrayed in the first season of the '87 cartoon before he Took a Level in Jerkass and became April's cowardly rival.Regardless, some think it's too contrived, while others like that Splinter and the turtles now have a more intimate connection to April, with them viewing her as a savior. This is similar to the IDW comics where April was an intern, but without the reincarnation aspect that still retained Hamato Yoshi's feud with the Shredder (who is immortal in that universe). The Turtles and Splinter are revealed to have been lab animals who were April's "pets" back when her father studied the mutagen with Sacks, before the lab was destroyed and they were exposed to the mutagen by accident.Either they're cool and appropriate or way too cluttered.

The individual designs of the Turtles.Some think they look strange and bizarre, whilst others think they look perfectly suitable for the Turtles. The faces of the Turtles, with a mix of human and reptilian features.Was the use of performance capture and CGI over animatronics, like the earlier live-action films, a good thing or not?.On their way up to continue the fight, they beatbox out of nowhere. Big-Lipped Alligator Moment: The turtles get into an elevator after fighting for a while.
