one of the fun things about 2003 stockman is that his character arc is a constant game of going "oh wow he's really reached a new low point here huh" and then he pulls out a shovel and proceeds to start digging

#bambi's rambling #tmnt 2003 #2003 baxter stockman #pretty sure the only thing that he learns over the course of the show is 'if i lie to my boss i wont get in trouble (ie get maimed)'#and to be fair he's not in a good situation in the foot clan. but that's an objectively bad coping mechanism that makes things worse #beyond that he keeps failing in new and spectacular ways because he never quite wraps his head around the idea that he might not succeed #and/or he doesnt view failure as like. a thing that could affect him? its a setback. its always a minor setback too not even a major one.#and yeah he does get progressively more scared of being punished (because the foot clan is Super Bad to be in)#but even after IITM he still has utter confidence in his own methods/creations #even when other people explicitly doubt them and right before those methods/creations dont work out #anyway he's a weird little guy and i like him lol
