What if Red Sky...
 

Was more like 2k3, and just as dark?

Then Karai would have been there instead of Dregg and Shredder probably would have returned in season 9 instead of 10.

I would say that Krang, Rocksteady, and Bebop would've traveled to Dimension X to retrieve the Technodrome. However, they would've somehow gotten stuck there never to be seen again. So Shredder would've had Karai show up with Foot Ninjas. Shredder would've started a crime wave to build his resources. There would've been a big fight in the season eight finale, it would've been like the fight from "The Shredder Strikes" in the 4Kids series. The turtles would've assumed Shredder died in the fight.

In the 9th season, it would've been revealed that the Shredder survived the fight at the end of the 8th season. The 9th season would've concluded with a fight similar to "The Shredder strikes back". Season ten would've began with the turtles retreating to the farm like in the 4Kids series. The series finale would've featured a fight like in "Return To New York". However, with it being the original cartoon, the finale probably would've featured the Shredder going to some huge prison for super villains, rather than being killed.

HAVOC would have mostly been mindless bug monsters.

Shredder and Krang would actually die in "The Power of Three"


Irma, Mondo, etc would get killed instead of just forgotten.

Dregg would be spelled Dr'egg.

what if red sky didn't suck?

all of these important existential questions!

Seasons 8 and 10 are two of the best seasons of the OT up there with 1, 2, 3, and 7.

Here's a few pointers of what could have made Red Sky much better:

- Give Mikey back his chucks

- Make the fights on par with Season 1

- Shredder and Krang remain the main baddies

- Human Foot Soldiers

If they were trying to make it as dark as Batman: TAS and Gargoyles, they should have done just that. A blood red sky is cool but you've got to make full use of the theme.

When I was 10 I never got into the Red Sky seasons, but since I've watched them on dvd I wish I would've. Red Sky was great. I don't like Dregg though.
