I'd rather not have fly Baxter back. After being exposed to the original Stockman, I'd much prefer him.
As for the Shredder, there's still so many other things that can be done. A Battle Nexus movie would be amazing beyond belief. But unfortunately that's way too outside for the mainstream. I still want to see someone like Usagi pop up in the film, fat chance though. I mean they could even expand the time scepter's abililites to being able to transport them to other universes or something.
The changing of Shredder from human to alien was no more insulting than making Hamato Yoshi and Splinter one and the same. Or taking away Baxter's menace, as they did in the 87 series. Don't get me wrong, I grew up with and loved the 87 series same as you. I just feel that the movies, barring the 3rd, the 03 series, and the original comics are a cut above. And I really hope they stick with the fact that the continuity is carried over from the original films.
One thing though, April lost years off her age and also gained a degree in Latin American anthropology? That's the one plot hole I can't get over.
