Stockman disagrees

[@metanightmare4454]

What he didn't go into is Stockman's fate after Shredder was banished. He ended up creating a new flesh-and-blood body for himself, but he rushed it, and it started rapidly rotting and decaying and taking his mind with it, slowly turning him into a delirious zombie before he finally died. That SHOULD have been the end of his suffering, but his new boss, Bishop, wasn't done with him, so he revived him. Stockman made it clear that he would've preferred to stay dead.

Unfortunately, Season 4 was not only when they REALLY got dark, but they pushed the envelope a bit too far, which led to Season 5 being skipped, and Fast Forward being made. Now, I like Fast Forward and I still wished we got another season of it with the TriShreddertron and more Dark Turtles, but you can't deny that there was a reason that season had a lighter tone.

I was absolutely waiting to see if you'd cover this. The 2003 Shredder was the best the franchise has had thus far, and this explains why. Oh, and this wasn't even the only Shredder in that series. There was also the Demon Shredder that Ch'rell took the mythological name from, and a digital version of Ch'rell that was made and released due to time travel. Ch'rell did more intergalactically, but the trial didn't include stuff his digital remnant did.

@@mixofreak You're not wrong, but I feel like her taking up the mantle is more of a compounding effect that makes the Shredder experience more terrifying and impactful on a few levels. His ideology got a legacy in his victim of a daughter we're rooting to break the cycle, narratively it psyches out the audience luring us into a false sense of security that we'll never deal with the REAL Shredder again only to do it repeatedly again.

[@mixofreak]

@@JakeSmith-mq5dc while true, and I liked her arc with that, it somewhat ended with her working for the good of the world, whereas the digital copy of Ch'rell contined after he was destroyed, which was only lacking because the last bit of the series faltered from writing, not from the voice acting or characters involved.

@@mixofreak Yeah, I wonder if the next CJ video will tough on her and Tengu Shredder. At the end of the day, Nux might here the lore, but it's a whole other thing to actually experience it first hand. One video isn't enough to give the TMNT Shredder justice.

[@majinsole8554]

The original TMNT comic from Eastman and Laird was actually meant to be very dark and a nod to Frank Miller’s Daredevil. The ‘87 show changed a lot to make them more kid friendly, but also did add a lot of the things people familiarize the turtles with, such as their different colored bandannas and love for pizza. One of the original creators recently stepped back into TMNT with the graphic novel The Last Ronin, which has garnered so much acclaim that it has been green-lit for a film adaptation. ~_~

[@filipvadas7602]

1. Its kind of hillarious how 1987 Shredder was just a goober and then 4Kids of all things counterbalanced him by creating an iteration that is a genocidal egomaniac and *easily* one of the biggest haters in all of fiction. And the thing is that basically every version of TMNT afterwards has take *some* level of inspiration from this show. Its THAT iconic. 2. If CJ is willing to dedicate this much effort to a legend of saturday-morning-cartoon fame like Shredder, then the OG himself *Megatron* has to get his due eventually. Fun fact: The Sword of Tengu has an image of Ch'rell on its pommel. The foreshadowing for the twist was lowkey really well done.

[@Alone-SF]

Couple of things not outright said, but I think could be interpeted to make Shredder even more despicable; I think Shredder's crimes are possibly a lot more numerous - in the space trial, all crimes he was found guilty of, were only those they could find undisputed evidence and testimonies to, but they didn't mention anything of the stuff he did on earth for example, which leads me to the conclusion that those confirmed civillian casualities (just civs, not counting the people he sent to slaughter on his side or the enemy troops) are probably just the surface, he could've terrorized multiple planets from the shadows with probably millions, if not even billions of unconfirmed victims, without anyone being any wiser. Another point for this, not mentioned in the video, but around the time when they were on the ship, right before dino dude fought Shredder, you can see his robots, some purely just killer bots, but couple others were a lot more human: Shredder had a plan to create androids and replace some major world leaders, so that civil war type stuff could've happened on earth if that boat didn't sink - I'll say, the dude was about to start World War III (there's a reason we never got to see what he was doing in the first half of 1900s...)

[@JakeSmith-mq5dc]

Nux, if anything, CJ underplayed how much of a menace Shredder was in TMNT 2003 because the video was getting too long. He just had to focus on the highlights, but there is so much implied history like his participation in the interdimensional Battle Nexus Tournament for instance. There is literally a 3 way Shredder War. There is a dark timeline where Shredder rules. This Shredder has a successor, AND a digital backup copy that manifested itself into a Shredder clone that escaped the internet. And to top it all off, this man was a fraud.

[@Crazyredemu]

It left out the best part, Bebop and Rocksteady plugged the death beam back in, they killed the unkillable Shredder

[@justicesplanet5958]

20:47 YES BOSS, NUXPENTIOUS!

[@MoostachedSaiyanPrince]

Utrom Shredder is the most terrifying force in fiction: a villain with plot armor.

[@JesseNightingale]

36:05 yes that version of the shredder is an alien.. I dont get the confusion though cause its obvious each version of the TMNT shows is its own universe including the movies lol

[@WolfTalkings]

20:40 Yes Master Nux. My king of lore. My dad from another timeline. The best of the best. *glazing too much overload*

[@just_an_internet_explorer8038]

Fake glazer. I’ll show you how it’s done MY GLORIOUS KING NUX. I want to be the air that you breathe, the chair when you sit. You are the reason I get up in the morning and continue to live. If not mentally prepared, I may faint before clicking on your video due to your aura. All praise and glory for you, MY GLORIOUS KING! 🙇‍♀️ ~ Your number one meat rider

[@anonluxor470]

2003 TMNT: have mutilation 4Kids: nothing wrong hear Yu-Gi-Oh: has guns and death 4Kids THATS ILLEGAL CANCEL THEM IMMEDIATELY!!!! (obviously they didn't cancel it)

[@FubukiTheIcyKing]

Don't forget they also decided in Yu-Gi-Oh that they can't say people were killed, but instead sent to a place of eternal torment aka the Shadow Realm. Which is a fate worse than death!

[@Wheeljack214]

Don't forget the Squirtle Squad episode of Pokémon when Ash was literally held at gun point!!!

[@filipvadas7602]

Fun fact: Everything up until when the Turtles raid Shredder's tower is a pretty direct, albeit censored, adaptation of the 1984 comic. They just replaced Utrom Shredder being a colony of sentient worms that took Oroku Saki's form after consuming his corpse & were granted sentience by Foot Mystics after the real Shredder's death (don't ask but the show references and uses both), with him secretly being an alien in an exosuit. Hell, Utrom Shredder literally dies in the world of the same issue of TMNT where the original 1984 Shredder died as well. Literally bringing things full circle.

[@russellhallett]

Respect destroying all of reality and yourself just to kill your enemy

[@masterofvoreth8636]

Between Shredder and the turtles, he is the one that is cold blooded.

[@donovan802]

Turtles Forever 2, PLEASE!!! 1987, 2003, 2012, Rise, and Mutant Mayhem crossover!! Make it happen!

[@LoserFaceUltra]

15:39 Mr. Beast got his employment tactics from the foot clan and shredder

[@isaacblau_]

saw this comment in the preview had to find it

[@nytecrow6452]

Man, when Shredder picked up his head for the first time...I knew he was a Demon. And that Lore was my favorite iteration of him. Can't wait for CJ to go over Oroku Saki who sold his soul.

[@michaelrondan9481]

This was one of my favorite shows to watch growing up.

[@Swaggernaut_X]

Shredder has not only fought Batman but he's also fought the Power Rangers and stole the Green Ranger powers for himself.

[@wewden6887]

Let's go! I was waiting for this one! Almost as hyped as for adventure time!

[@lordwarryl5712]

30 years ago, I was 1st exposed to Shredder as my very 1st glimpse of conciusen. Then come my craving for top tier villains in media till this day

[@chrisrosales6362]

2003 TMNT will always be the best iteration for some of the shit they do. From Hun to Bishop to Usagi Yojimbo, it’s just THE GOAT.

[@MoteofLobross]

It's especially funny that The Foot is a parody of The Hand ninja clan from Marvel. Also, the vintage Mirage and current IDW comics are best toitle lore.

[@sarahtelles1931]

36:10 and that is why he's called Ultrom Shredder

[@CatsLilaSalem]

Shredder trying to use a better Shredder but that destroying Shredder is really funny to me 🤣

[@EASasayaki]

To make things even funnier... Utrom Shredder isn't even the only Shredder in his own universe.

[@Wheeljack214]

Oh God...the Tengu Shredder was 100x worse!!!

[@tananatana4011]

It's honestly such a cool idea to mix two main villains from the 80's show (Shredder and Krang) and turn them into a nightmarish evil lord antagonist

[@kingmagikarp97]

I was born in 97 but I was able to watch the live-action 90's movie I wasn't able to watch the 87 turtles cartoon but I was able to watch the 2003 and onward cartoons/shows and 87 shredder might be a goober but I still love him even if he's not as menacing as the others like 2003 shredder.

[@brandonvortex995]

Ch"rell just took the name shredder after he hearing the legends of tengu shredder story from a book or some fella telling a bedtime story to his/her kids. Making him an unofficially Successor to tengu shredder. And what tengu shredder couldn't achive while the utrom shredder can is that tengu shredder only wanted to conquer the world into his image, while the utrom shredder however have done more than just earth, his terror spreads through other galaxies as he commited a galactic warcrime, and once he manage to conquer the utrom homeworld he return back to earth and conquer it as seen in same as never was episode.

[@Ganymedia9]

Fun fact: In at least one timeline, the chemical spill that gave the TMNT's their powers was the same chemical spill that gave Matt Murdock (AKA Daredevil) his powers.

[@JakeSmith-mq5dc]

Nux fun fact, Ninja Turtles originally were the pets of Marvel's Daredevil because they started out as parodies of Daredevil comics. You literally see a blind boy implied to be Matt Murdock who drops the Turtles down the sewers with the ooze. BUT to this day, they have NEVER crossedover or officially met each other.

[@nicodemusmaxwell1624]

36:13 in this incarnation, he is an alien

[@renashcroft8794]

As a Brit, I am eternally grateful to Nux for the New York lore drop~♡

[@KenanLaudat-tp3bp]

20:46 oh lord nux! The handsomest youtuber ! Our master!!!

[@restionSerpentine]

The Radioactive Ooze that created the turtles might or might not have been the same ooze that splashed Matt Murdock giving him the ability to become daredevil when he grew up. Also the 80s Shredder is voiced by Uncle Phil

[@theninjakid88]

Waiting semi-patiently for that new digital circus reaction

[@trailguidealex5010]

This is the tip of turtle lore. Theres the comic lore which is insane then each tv show has their own lore thats based on the comics but has their own spin that also more lore.

[@NuT1nAJaR]

Finally dayum a video to take a break from all the controversy vidoes

[@devenlemend4599]

i will stand by this statement. when shredder went to erase the og turtles it should have been Baxtor trying to erase shredder form the multiverse but coming to accept that he's better than that. would that have been as cool as the 2 foot tall genocidal squid trying to kill himself in the most complicated manor, no but would i have paid more money to see Baxtor get a win, yes.

[@JakeSmith-mq5dc]

Well Baxter got a win in Fastforward. Yes, he's still alive.

[@Dbzmaster159]

13:40 Yes they did Nux. and that was the nicest thing done to that version of Stockman. I mean in the 2012 version he only gets mutated into a fly man, but what they did to the handsomer 2003 version was brutal. 13:51 addition... Nux, Shredder had reduced Stockman to a living Brain in a jar with just one eye. Then later on when Stockman tried to recreate a new body it began to rot and decay on him slowly and warped his mind.

[@donovanblackwelder4301]

4Kids! everybody.

[@kingmagikarp97]

Nux since its October I really hope that you continue finishing Spooky Month lore and and for you to check out the lore of Mr pickles.

[@kingmagikarp97]

20:47 Lord Nuxalore our glorious lore consuming king we are honored to revel in chaos with you.

[@justsomejerseydevilwithint4606]

9:38 Nux's fight or flight instincts kick in:

[@Richiedoesmc]

4K!DS: We can’t have an anime from Japan showing kids cigarettes or blood. But the American show let them see the corpses especially if it involves torture.

[@FubukiTheIcyKing]

Blame the mom groups at the time and wee bit of xenophobia

[@WarHoundLACN]

After his first defeat, Shredder had Leonardo escape and return to April's home. Having Leonardo leading the Foot Clan there, since they did not know where the Turtles and Splinter were hiding.

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

Shredder's plan had a serious flaw. He was going back to the Utrom homeworld and take over out of revenge. Except they had 1000 years to advance their tech while Shredder has been stuck on Earth with Earth's tech progression. He won't have anywhere near the needed equipment.

[@jeb791]

With shredder sheer force of will and hatred I think he could manage

[@koatam]

13:30 not only was it a Kid's show. It was a 4Kid's show. That's right, the guys that localized One Piece. turned guns into super soakers, Beer into juice and cigarettes into suckers. Also made a show where a guy is chopped to pieces.

[@artiesykes]

@53:19 soup in a half shell nux, half shell! lmao

[@X.xx.emi.xx.X]

I NEED you to watch the Alex Bale SpongeBob Theory Compilation!!!!!!!

[@mickyflint]

ultrom shredder and 87 shredder is basically the doofenshmertz and Evil doofenshmirtz plot done first.

[@Jcartist_10]

36:08 in the 2003 version yes, but in most other’s he’s an actual human, and in the 2k18 versions he’s a mythical dark spirit

[@azurephantom100]

little extra lore the utrom shredder didnt make the name shredder up. he took the name from a mythical demon with that name.

[@Tigerkaya]

Seems fitting Bebop and Rocksteady saved the multiverse!

[@amarcekovic4237]

I remember Shredder was even trap in the internet and got out while made himself a new body. He was something else

[@nemesisundead83]

TMNT Lore goes super hard

[@theblacksage6029]

Can’t wait for Cj to talk about 2012 Shredder The pettiness is insane with him

[@c.m.cameraman7918]

To answer your question on the Shredders being individual alternates & being the same guy. Yes & no basically, they are the same guy. But alternate universe & tineline wise, sometimes they're not always the same person. If that makes sense in a way. Try to understand, alternate realities throughout the multiverse can be a confusing thing. My advice is best try not to overthink, but know these Oroku Saki's are the same guy, they're just different versions.
