Line 222:
** Subsequent versions of the series and the live action movies tend to make him far more dangerous. In the 2003 series, he has an almost supernatural knack for being seemingly unkillability, allowing him to show himself just as badass in defeat as in victory. The 2012 version was more lighthearted than the 1987 version (but not as much as in 2003) and the Shredder here tended to be a [[Knight of Cerebus]] type for episodes that forget it’s a lighthearted version.
** April O'Neil has usually been a [[Damsel in Distress]] in the older cartoons, only showing "badass" qualities on the sidelines. In the 2012 version, however, she's taken actual training as a Kunoichi, and most recently, was able to defeat Raphael in a sparing match. (Raph keeps insisting she's "almost fully trained", although that really only means she hasn't completed the course.) The same goes for her ''Rise'' incarnation. While she's still untrained, she is able to fight alongside the Turtles from the get-go, and being just as capable of defeating villains on her own, {{spoiler| even landing the finishing blow on a Shredder-armor-empowered Baron Draxum.}}
* In ''[[Looney Tunes]]'', the Tasmanian Devil is a "vicious, evil-tempered brute with jaws like a steel trap" and certainly lives up to that description. [https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Tasmanian_devil A real Tasmanian devil, however?] Actually sort of cute, and while clearly a dangerous predator if provoked, not nearly as much as the one in the cartoon.
