Do you agree with a TMNT movie without Shredder as Villain?

[Hulkzilla]

No Shredder
been there done that

 

[Lex Luthor]

Here I thought they were pulling a "Batman Begins" and it turns out there doing a "Superman Returns"

LOL

Oh, and pretty cool Sig.

The amusing thing about Shredder is that he actually died in the first TMNT comic back in 1984. While he had a heavy influence in the Turtles' origin, it wasn't until he was the primary villain in the cartoon that he truly became a recurring foe for them. Then they briefly resurrected him in clone form in the comics. So it's not as if Shredder's presence is absolutely necessary.

Heck, TMNT III didn't have Shredder at all and it wasn't a problem. While that wasn't the best-received TMNT movie (though I thought it was decent anyway), it still managed to get along just fine without Shredder.

And in this upcoming movie, the Foot Clan will still be there, as will Karai, Shredder's successor. I think it's a great idea because it shows that the Foot Clan is still a threat without Shredder at the helm. As other posters have pointed out, Shredder will still have a cameo, setting up a larger role in a possible sequel, but I like the idea of the Turtles having more than one adversary, even in the Foot. After all, the Turtles are capable of making plenty of enemies.

I too want Shredder as a villian.

 

[batman7289]

every single tmnt had shredder as a villian.
its about time they picked somone new

 

[Spidey-Fan700]

It'd be different to see a new main villain. Having not read the comics, where I think the Shredder is dead, it would bring more in line with them (the comics). I wonder who the new villain would be?


Take care... from your friendly, neighborhood Spidey-Fan.

I think The Shredder was finally killed off for good in like issue #20, or #21 in the Mirage comic book series. So yeah, TMNT can go on with another villain besides Shredder.

Although The Shredder will always be known as THE villain in any TMNT franchise.

Doesn't bother me much that we won't see him as a villain in this film. It would be nice to see some other villains like Nolan did with Batman begins.

 

[The Shredder]

Personally, I wouldnt mind The Shredder returning in this flick, but since thats not going to happen, I can't say that I'm the least bit upset about it. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles have several other villains that can be established in the TMNT film universe. So it's all good. A few references of Shredder in this upcoming movie would be nice. And I wouldnt rule out a cameo either.

Hope theres a sequel. Cause good things come to those who wait.

I didnt like Shredder being turned into supershredder in TMNT2. If they avoid that idea and go with another villain that would do just fine. Although i woudnt rule out a tiny cameo by ol shredhead.
