For me, each Shredder/Saki has a major flaw that bugs me to death. Old toon Shredder is funny, but often crossed the "Oh. you've gotta be KIDDING me" line with stupidity. I know the show was supposed to be funny and I can work with that... but I like villains I can take seriously. Though I rediscovered Cowabunga Shredhead last night (the only episode I have clear childhood memories of) and he was being pretty flippin' hilarious as "Michaelangelo."
Which is why I think I prefer the new toon Shredder, but only by a little bit. If only he were human... I originally hated the Utrom Shredder idea, but they worked that concept into the NT storyline so well I can accept it as part of that continuity. But then again, if I'd been making the show I'd probably want more Earth battles and less sci-fi in addition to a human Shredder. It makes the concept feel a little more realistic (as it were) and a little less "woo scifi!"
