What are Scumbag, Shredder and Mutant Mayhem in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles? HITC explores.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are four English words that will transport you back to the eighties or nineties for nostalgic kids. This franchise started with superhero comics before branching out to action figures, animated movies, and then live-action ones. Now, we’ve arrived at the seventh theatrical feature-length outing for the crime-fighting anthropomorphic reptiles. Jeff Rowe directed the film, which has been hailed by many critics as being the best TMNT ever produced. That’s no small feat, but are Scumbag and Shredder in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem to help elevate it?
Is Scumbag in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem?
Scumbag is a mutant enemy that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Mutant Mayhem has to face. The backstory of Scumbag is that of an exterminator who was exposed to mutagen.
The character has been featured throughout the entire franchise, either in toys or the cartoon from 1987, where he appeared as part of Night Of The Rogues.
The character in the latest film has been exaggerated compared to the previous depictions. In contrast to the other mutants such as Genghis Frog, Leatherhead and Leatherhead this time around Scumbag appears more animalistic.
Seth Rogen, Post Malone and other talents are all involved in the cast of mutants. Scumbag is only a wild sound maker who is said to be voicing his own character.
WARNING: MUTANT MAYHEM POST-CREDITS SPOILERS AHEAD
Shredder is a character in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem.
Shredder is a TMNT villain that appears in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem. But fans have to wait to the very end for him.
He appears during the film’s mid-credits scene when it’s established that the turtles are thriving at school, whether that’s Donatello joining the computer club or Michaelangelo embracing his knack for comedy.
We find them gathered together at prom, celebrating how far they’ve come and kicking back. The idyllic scene is ruined when Utrom puts them all under surveillance.
The plan is to eliminate the turtles forever, and this time they will enlist the assistance of Shredder. He can only be seen behind them, without any dialogue. Nevertheless, the antagonist makes an impactful albeit brief impression all the same, offering superfans the cameo they’ve been waiting for.
He will also be cast as a Supervillain for a second movie, confirmed.
TMNT’s director speaks about what is to come
The Mutant Mayhem filmmaker recently sat down to chat about the film with Gizmodo, and the interviewer noted Shredder’s absence in the main movie, as well as that of Krang and others. Jeff Explained The way it held back on some characters.
“There [was a] point where we were like, ‘This is coming together pretty good. We’re liking what we’re making. We’re not blowing it. We’re not whiffing it.’ So likely, based on the importance of this IP to Paramount, we will likely be making a sequel or have the opportunity to explore more things later.”
He added: “I think I think everybody wants to spend more time with these characters and I think there’s a lot of things in the lore that we haven’t been able to address yet.”
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem has now been released in theatres.
