Which series did Shredder the most Justice?

[Leofan26]

Out of any of the series which one would you say did Shredder the right amount of Justice?

If it weren't for how little we see of Shredder in the 2012 series, I mean each couple of episodes he's in he's pretty awesome but too little. I know I sound like a 2003 series fan all the time braging about it LOL But I relly do feel he was a threat and had a good dose of screen time.

What do you guy's think?

I like human shredder. So out goes 2k3. And while 80s was cool, 2012s shredder is just awesome. His voice is terrifying, his design is sweet, and his rivalry with splinter develops him as a character, rather than just being a dick.

And I know he hasn't shown up all that much, but we hear from him in almost every foot based episode, mentioned in most others, and still feels like a major part of the show. Plus since we don't see him do too much, the 3 fights we've seen of him have been epic.

Too bad there's not an "other" option, or I'd take that. So far, the version I think that has done him best is IDW, although I really DO like the 2003 one (but in his human persona, not as Ch'rell).

None but the 2012 has come the closest to bad he doesen't do anything...
2k3 loses becase **** ch'rel...

[Nameless]

early 80's shredder and Dregg era shredder... rest of the time he is too whiny... personally i think movie shredder is the best for sheer badass-ness...

[electric_sheep]

This scene cements IDW Shredder as the king of all Shredders...

[Coola Yagami]

Easily the 2012 one. Shredder was never an Utrom, so out foes 2K3. And as much as I love the 80's version... he was a joke, but this was a comedy show where even the bad guys are throwing out one-liners and bad puns, so while we can't blame him for being cheesy, he's still not a good Shredder. 2012 is the best one we got so far.

[Technogeek29]

Either 1st movie or IDW. Nick doesn't show up enough for me to really care. I do like his voice on the other hand.

[CyberCubed]

I agree the IDW version is shaping up to be the best incarnation of Shredder.

As much as I love Mirage and Movie 1 Shredder, they were too short-lived to be much of a threat.

[Shark_Blade]

IDW is very mystical and mysterious.

Since it's not an option, I go with 2k12. I never liked 2k3 Shredder ever since it's revealed he was a slimy alien blob.

Season 3 Shredder was still amazing even with that knowledge.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

That's one thing we can agree on. Imagine that!

Doesen't that ruin that Shredder for you? I can't separate it...
besides they gave him red glowing eyes and made him sound like a demon, he was just to much evil even before the alien slug, for me at least...

[Candy Kappa]

Only the cartoon versions of Shredder?

Easy, Nick Shredder.

[blindturtle02]

As far as the cartoons go, I think I'm going with 2012. I love the voice. That was the first thing that stood out to me. Kevin Richardson just knocks it out of the park. Hearing great things about the IDW Shredder, so I'll have to start reading that one with my brother or my better half once Summer is in full swing.

The 2k3 shredder was cunning and had actually things to do other then spending all time and energy on revenge. The 2k3 shredder acted more like a kingpin while this one feels like saturday morning villain.

[Whatswiththeheadbands?]

2k3 Shredder all the way. He had everything a good villian should.

He had an evil voice, he had a very good theme, he had great lines, and plus he doesn't just want revenge all the time like 2k12 Shredder does.

I never realized how much hate there was for Utrom Shredder. I prefer a human Oroku Saki as well, but it was an interesting twist at the time (it sort of "combined" Shredder and Krang, in a way) and I could get past that to see him portrayed as truly dangerous, cunning, and ambitious. It also helped that he was tied into the Turtles' origins in a sense, being that his actions marooned the Utroms on Earth, which actually added something to the arch-villain dynamic.

That said, the Nick version is a close second. His back-story and rivalry with Hamato Yoshi is probably the best version yet - considering this is a cartoon show intended for kids, his actions (re: Karai) are surprisingly twisted and manipulative. I just feel like the character and that story hasn't reached its peak yet.

The '80s version is great in his own right (James Avery's voice acting was excellent), but he was primarily a comedy character, especially as the show went on, so I don't really think he qualifies like the others do.

2012 is more like how Shredder supposed to be then 2k3, but the 2k3 was more complex even with his generic evil storyline... Which has a lot to do with 2012 Shredder being so rare in his show. I'd much rather see 2012 Shredhead fighting with the Turtles, then goofy villains like pizzaface, derpril or that sparrow ad&d dude...
Tho 2k3 definitely did justice to the foot clan most by having Foot Elites, Foot Mystics and Karai for the first time on a show. The also adopted a good chunk of Mirage Shredder releated storylines.

Overall, Movie 1 Shredder was definitely a best one after IDW Shredder. Even with all the PG-13-ism that Nick forces on them, IDW has the best villains out of all TMNT incernations so far.
Archie Shredder was also notable with his Captain Coldish way, of having a 'code of honor'.

I voted for 2k3 Shredder, but 2013 can easily be a better one, if they give him more role.

This thread is for series, not comics. Otherwise we would have to go with Mirage since that's where he began.
