Any kid who's watched cartoons at some point during the last twenty-or-so years knows who Shredder is. He's the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles' arch-nemesis, and one of the most iconic villains in all of pop culture.
If something's wrong on the streets of New York City, it's probably because of Shredder and his gang of robotic foot-based ninjas. Sure, there are plenty of other great villains out there, but for many a childhood, Shredder is the villain.
That said, there's got to be a gentler side to Shredder, right? Somewhere – buried deep beneath the armor, the blades and the unreasonable hatred of turtles – there has to be an actual person.
Despite the fact that all fans ever get to see is the evil, maniacal Shredder, it doesn't make sense that someone would just be evil for the sport of it — there must be a reason for all of that pent-up anger and hatred.
Well, according to the folks over at Animation Domination High-Def, Shredder's just a little lonely...
So, after all the threats of destroying New York and/or turning our heroes into turtle soup, the only thing Shredder really wants — is a friend.
Well, a friend who isn't an evil disembodied alien brain hanging out in the stomach cavity of a hugely powerful android, to be precise. Who wants a three-foot-tall roommate who does nothing but scream and yell all day long?
Don't worry, Shredder — there's someone out there for you. All you have to do is look.
