Mhm yeah. Here’s part two of this. More of it + some context under the cut!

PART ONE

PART TWO

So we don’t see Shelldon in the movie. I mean. We see his head but it’s not operational and I’m 90% sure that it gets destroyed again.

And honestly??? After everything with Shredder, I don’t think Donnie is in the right mental space to try to rebuild his kinda-son-it’s-complicated. He just lost his home, all of his equipment, was massively traumatized, is in the middle of a dynamic shift with his brothers, and on top of that There’s no guarantee that Shelldon will retain ANYTHING from his previous life. It might just be a scenario of bringing back a blank slate with none of the memories or experiences of the Shelldon that previously existed.

He just starts to get to the point where he’s in the right groove to take the risk and then Krang happens. Which. Yeah. I think he keeps at the project over the years, but only really gets up the nerve to FINALLY boot Shelldon up again when he’s about 19-21ish.

Of course everything works out and it’s like Shelly just took a long ass nap. Of course, this does cause some issues between them moving forward because. Sheldon’s 13, he doesn’t get why Donnie took nearly SIX YEAERS MINIMUM to bring him back. He feels really displaced and it’s just. Not a good feeling to have missed so much (Casey helps him through that and it’s great) but for the meantime it’s A happy reunion!

Thanks for reading, sorry for diving so far into headcannons I just think about them a lot.
