go to x 0 y 0
go to Sprite2
set variable1 to direction
point towards mouse pointer
set variable2 to direction

Best if you share the project - it makes it much easier to understand the problem.

new code

when flag clicked
point in direction (90)
go to x (0) y (0)
forever
go to [Sprite2]
set [variable1] to (direction)
point towards [mouse pointer]
set [variable2] to (direction)
point in direction ((((variable1) * (9)) + (variable2)) / (10))
move (40) steps
end

The sprite is now the other way around so it can be a joint thingy

So what you're saying is you want to point towards the mouse but always move the sprite in the most efficient direction so it always turns 180 degrees or less. The calculations in this project https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/55006278 may help.
