Shredder Fan Thread
 

Alright guy's this may have already been done but I did not see it anywhere and plus we got a Raph fan page so I thought why not, let's do ole tin face cause I absolutely love Shredder. So... let's just talk about him in general in example, why you like him? What you don't like about him? How does he stand up against other comic book and cartoon and movie villains? Etc etc.:D

I don't like how he's such a wimp in the classic series. I think Shredder should be a force to be reckoned with (like in the movie or the 2003 series) not someone who runs away as soon as the turtles show up. He should be able to take on the four turtles by himself, and if he can't, at least be able to easily beat them with the help of Bebop and Rocksteady. He would use those pods or a portal and just leave. I like how they handled him in the 2003 series. He's not out stealing things all the time, he has minions for that. He's above being a common thief, but he's not afraid to come out and get his hands dirty either. He's less of a joke and far more intimidating.

Yeah i agree with you. I liked how him and Krang put the comedy into the OT but that's about it. But in the 1st movie that's when i really came to like Shredder, that's how i always seen him being.

Lmao! That's funny! Iv never seen that video. Thanks for posting that.:lol:

More of these threads oh well got to do somthing while we waiting for turtles in 2012. Shredder is my second fav villain Bishop is my first lol.:D

I guess one of the biggest things i like about Shredder is his costume. I mean that's just so different compared to other things. I mean not in my wildest dreams could i come up with a costume like that for a character. :tgrin:

His costume is one thing I actually do like about OT Shredder.

Well I agree, but I was just meaning in general. They did an awesome job in Movie 1 with his costume. And in Movie II a even better job on the Super Shredder costume.

I know what you meant, I was just saying that was my favourite part about OT Shredder. The other costumes were cool, but the other incarnations of Shredder had more going for them than their costume.

Oh yeah I agree 100% with ya man!

I love OT Shredder, though I can definitely see why people wouldn't like him as a villain. He really is pretty ineffective...heck, he had Team Rocket syndrome before Team Rocket was even created. XD

^ That's a good comparison. Both villains work for comic relief but are utter failures as actual villains xD

I like the Shredder concept at first comic...he is really a bad-one with a great story at back!

About OT Shredder, he was very funny for me!! I remember the episode where Shredder get the Michelangelo personality coming to the lair with some pizzas and I almost roll for the ground laughing!!...Im agree with Gyt Kaliba about Team Rocket syndrome!!! :lol: :lol:
... Im not really a big fan from bad characters.... I like them as The nemesis of the good -guys!....

^^ I agree although to be fair Team Rocket and Shredder were real threats in their first handful of appearances. Anyway I liked all of Shredder's incarnations for different reasons.
My favorite thus far would have to be the first Movie incarnation. Although the movie had some questionable changes made from the comics and cartoon, one thing that I think they got right was their treatment of the Shredder. He was behind everything that the Foot did and no one really knew what he was capable of, as the movie progressed we got to see how vicious he was to Splinter and how he became the Shredder. Plus he wasn't afraid of the "freaks" and probably would have killed Leo if Splinter hadn't gotten there.

Pillowy mounds of mashed potatoes:lol:

Hi!!! I need a traslate for that sentence!!! :toops: :toops: I dont get it!!

True, both sets of villains there were just over-used over time and became gag gimmicks. Though, who doesn't love a good gag-villain from time to time?

Yeah, he was definitely a good villain there. I liked that for that movie they didn't go with a goofy Shredder...actually, for any live-action version, the OT Shredder would just be...ugh-able to me. Maybe that's another reason I didn't like Next Mutation much, their take on Shredder (what little he was used) was...wow.

It's a line from James Avery when he played Uncle Phil in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, put to Shredder footage.:lol:

lol! comic gold :tlol:

I agree 100% That's what really got me into Shredder, it def was not the OT cause he was just to dam funny, lol! I am hoping that in the new movie he is just as dark as he was in the first 1990 movie! Maybe even darker.:tgrin:
