I've only seen the 'bonus' episodes...somehow I missed seeing him on TV so I don't know much about him. He doesn't seem that bad though--just the whole 'mutate out of control Leo' 5 million times was getting annoying.

*Anarchistguy* · 07-12-2004, 06:41 AM

That's because The Shredder was in the old show for WAAAYYY too long. So when he left the show, the fans got so used to him that they couldn't accept Dregg. I liked the guy, I didn't mind him. I REALLY hope it doesn't turn out the same way in TMNT 2003 . People just don't give people a chance. They watch like 2-3 episodes, he automatically sucks!! This is LAME!!!

*J Legault* · 07-12-2004, 06:59 AM

I agree that the 2 episodes with Leo becoming a Mutated monster was annoying.

Course I haven't seen all the episodes from the Red Sky series yet.

I just know Shredder is trapped in Dimension X I think, then this other villian Lorg Dregg just steps in and becomes the new villian. only he does the same thing Shredder would do try to take over the world.

Not sure which episode had the TMNT met Dregg. But he's not the best villian I'd choose for TMNT. As long as he won't make an appearance or camoe in the new show.

*Kazari* · 07-12-2004, 07:02 AM

Actually I did kind of like Dregg. He just seemed spooky. I hate Mon or whatever his name was. HE was annoying. I liked Hi Tech. But I couldn't stand Carter

*J Legault* · 07-12-2004, 12:10 PM

You mean Mog?

*cqb101* · 07-12-2004, 12:20 PM

I like him....I still don't see why he got so much ****.

*Kazari* · 07-12-2004, 12:26 PM

Yeah it's probably Mog. Sorry! LOL Yeah I liked Dregg! I even liked Chronus and Titanus! LOL I love Red Sky much more than I did the old show.

*Anarchistguy* · 07-12-2004, 01:03 PM

Actually, his name is MUNG.

I too think fans hated dregg because they were too used to shredder and he replaced Shredder. Shredder was the turtles long time eneomy, like Dr. Claw with inspecter gadget and skeletor with he-man. I enjoyed shredder more because he had krang bebop and rocksteady. Dregg was just a darker villian. I only saw the unaired eps of dregg and he was more serious than shredder and krang and I thought his henchmen were more boring. I did not have as much taste in dregg as I did with shredder.

*Deathknight* · 07-12-2004, 01:41 PM

I didn't like Dregg because I didn't consider him to be a good villian not because he replaced Shredder. He was trying to conquer the Earth yet he didn't even participate in any of the assaults against it. Shredder didn't always fight against the turtles but he was always there trying to accomplish his goal. Dregg was too much of a watcher from the safety of the Dreggnaught. He also relied on mistrust from the people of Earth in season 9 rather than really being a villian. I found that to be just stupid.

*Kazari* · 07-12-2004, 02:57 PM

Yeah well at first I hated the mutations of Red Sky but there are a lot of eps that I really like for instance: Wrath of the Rat King, Cyber Turtles and Turtle Trek! Those were really good not to mention Get Shredder, Divide and Conquer, Cry HAVOC and HAVOC In the Streets, Mobster from Dimension X. I mean I did find some aspects that I hate with the old show. I always though Leonardo was very annoying since he was always whining about what "Splinter says." also Raphael was a wise cracker but he didn't have the anger problem. Honestly I like old show Don especially Red Sky Don better than new show Donatello. New Show don is too quiet. Old show and Red Sky Don got angry easier.

Aaron · 07-12-2004, 03:20 PM

I personaly preferred Krang and SHredder.

*R-iZZy* · 07-12-2004, 04:11 PM

Lord Dregg was cool, in my book.

*Kazari* · 07-12-2004, 04:13 PM

Yeah I got tired seeing Shredder. it was ALWAYS shredder. Sometimes I liked seeing someone new .

*That Matt Guy* · 07-12-2004, 04:18 PM

Basically he came in to the series when it was already losing fans, so it just made it worse in my opinion.

*KROW* · 07-12-2004, 04:56 PM

I thought Dregg was alright. Didn't really take to him, though. I preferred Shredder but I didn't mind Dregg. I just didn't like the fact that he stuck around so long. I was waiting for him to leave, die, or something so that Shredder and/or Krang could come back.

I did like his voice, though.

*Kazari* · 07-12-2004, 05:36 PM

I did like his plans though! I mean with the microbots and all! But the weird thing is that he seemed to die twice in the show! So it was very confusing! I remember one ep to where shredder and Dregg did work together. But Shredder seemed to change in Red Sky too! I mean it was a different voice actor and he didn't have that whole sarcastic to him as well! Plus Bebop and Rocksteady actually ACTED smart! LOL Dregg was cool but they needed more Shredder every once and awhile and get rid of Carter!!

No Mutating either!

*Coola Yagami* · 07-12-2004, 07:19 PM

the thing is, after so many eps, they kinda fell into a trap. We were tired of shredder all the time, but then they put in some stupid scientist, it was like..'bring back the shredder!'. the other bad guys were also minor, Rat King wasn't really a 'take over the world' type and Leatherhead just wanted to beat people up and Baxter was more of a guest star than anything else.

maybe what they shoulda done is have Dregg as a new villian, but not THE villian kicking Shredder out. You know, make up other villians too so it wouldn't be Shredder all the time, but not Dregg all the time too. Kinda like Batman/Spiderman, where the TMNT would have a rogue's gallery, and they'd sometimes face Shredder, or Dregg, or Slash, or Rat King or HAVOK, etc, and not Shredder/Dregg all the time.
