Should Beserko have been the main villain in the Red Sky season?

I doubt. He was written off. However, that cop/army dude from State of Shock and Krakus from the HAVOC arc probably would have returned later if the season had been longer.

I feel if he was fleshed out a little more he could have been really interesting. I don't even know why people dislike Dregg that much anyway since he was much more competent and dangerous than Krang and Shredder.

The thing is, they obviously wanted to get rid of Krang and Shredder to give the show a new direction. So adding a villain with connections to them would still remind people of Shredder and Krang, which would make Berserko feel like a watered down version of them. A guy who simply designed the technodrome would never be taken seriously as a long-term threat.

And yes, Dregg was good, especially in the last season. But then again, he came in a time where the show was more action oriented. Shredder could be badass and competent to when the writers wanted to write him that way as well. Like in season 1, 8 and occasional episodes of other seasons.
