Ratchet & Clank - Classic Drek 2002 Vs Re-Imagining/Movie Drek 2016 [Comparison]

Let’s compare Chairman Drek from the classic 2002 game with the re-imagined Drek from 2016! Although both versions have the same goal, their personas are portrayed differently. Let’s have a look, shall we?

VTNVIVI this video made me think of ratchets decision at the end of the first game. Ratchet activated the deplanitizer not only killing drek but destroying the new planet. The planet held the remains of other planets so it being destroyed made the original planets destruction for nothing.

[@bobafett4265]

Yeah 2016 Drek could've used more screen time and making him a darker character like the original 2002 game would've been a nice balance to everything else, plus Dr Nefarious felt a little overused, sure keep him there as a character in the background like Thanos in Guardians of the galaxy set him up for big things, but of course rainmaker ruined that. 🤷‍♂️

if you think about it, it's a good thing that the remake was so different from the 2002 game because if it was just like the 2002 game, they would probably make a Going Commando remake. But, Insomniac is definitely working on a new Ratchet and Clank game (I think) and if they want to not get hate they're probably going to do a post-nexus game. (I think, and I hope) Seriously, they haven't really figured out the truth about the Lombaxes. I know the games hint to the Lombaxes went to a different dimension, but what if the portal Tachyon opened at the end of Tools of Destruction wasn't actually the Lombax dimension. Something completely different could have happened to the Lombaxes. And I don't know about anybody else, but I want to know what happened.

Later there was penguin walking round after hearing something at large wood he walk see baby raccoon, all dirty starving, he adopts the raccoon treating him like a son, getting baths getting him food, years later bob remembers the saber-toothed cats that killed his family penguin that adopted him says revenge is fools game it’ll make you nothing but worthless coward bob tells him I know but these saber-toothed cats killed my family, I need to avenge their death by killing saber-toothed cats, penguin understood tell him be safe you’re grown person take yourself. Bob was proud that he has person like him who take great cared of him, bob was gonna around see what to make weapon he use rock make it sharp thing and use sticks that he killed the saber-toothed cats. Later bob sees baby dinosaur that’s traps near saber-toothed cats he sees the guy with the scar. Bob charge said leave the kid alone the scar cat Recognize him said you’re kid who ran off their mother, we all been looking for you after we have great time killing your mom dad heart code, bob was angry he’s getting Surrounded by the cats, scar cat says what you gonna do kid is just five of us and just one fat weak raccoon!

Adopted penguin was proud he didn’t take the revenge that serious. Bob went travel to the ice land, starts stealing eggs from dinosaurs, the end.

[@heartless2147]

I definitely prefer Classic Drek, his motivation may be basic but the lengths he would go to get it were pretty dark. It earns that T rating, all the implied death of those billions of people and Drek didn't give a damn. Which makes it all the more satisfying that 2 random guys went on journey and ended up putting him in his place and killing him and his planet with his own weapon. Compare that to the cringe 2016 version and Nefarious taking that moment from us.

I prefer the 2002 version as he was more of a true villain and threat then the 2016 Drek who was too goofy to be considered one, but I like how that gave the writers the chance to make Dr. Nefarious the villain in the movie/game, even giving Qwark his villain to hero subplot.

[@Leviathan958]

Little not related to the topic but do you like the design of the Deplanetizer in the 2016 reboot.

[@qwarkhub2137]

So... I told this many times and I write it one more (and not last) time. 1. IMO R&C movie is "in-universe" movie, like Secret Agent Clank Holo-movies. Is about origin of 2 most iconic heroes in 3 galaxies - so heroes must be more "family friendly", because people of Solana, Bogon and Polaris go to cinema with childrens ect. 2. 2016 game is origin story of our favorite heroes BUT this is story told by Qwark and that's why Ratchet is more childish and stupid than in 2002 game. Qwark always see Ratchet as dumb boy, he don't care about Ratchet (and Clank) [that's why Ratchet in 2002 is 15 y and in 2016 is 17 y, because Qwark didn't care]. And that's why Qwark is more heroic and intelligent - he exaggerated his qualities, because he is storyteller. That's why in game we didn't see many planets - Qwark just don't know that our duo ever be there. And finally, that is why 2016 Drek is more polite: Qwark team up with Drek (2002), so in Qwark's story Drek must be more polite, that Qwark could justify his behavior. 3. In both - movie and game, we see many differences from original. We see Fongoids and Tharpods in Solana, weapons from Grummel-Net solding in Gadgetron Vendors, old Al ect - because the story is told by Qwark (and we know that he care only about himself ;p ), also script was written by Qwark (we can deduce this from a certain graphic promoting the film and from first movie trailer). Film was recorded in Solana with actors from Polaris (bla bla fan theories xd), props are from what was at hand at moment, and Al is old, because he is old haha. 4. Nefarious. He look different, than what we see in Qwark Vid-Comic, because he's an actor. Also we know that originally Nefarious could team up with Drek, because, thanks to second Vid-Comic, we know that behind Ameboids attack on Rilgar was Nefarious. And in 2002 game Ameboid attack is fact - so Nefarious (in his humanoid version) is out there. Nefarious turned into robot middle R&C 2002 and Up your arsenal. In UYA Darla Grath tell us that Dr. Nefarious is known supervillain (he's in his robotic version at this moment), and you know why he is "known"? Because he's behind Ameboid attack. [Offtopic: "What about ameboid attack on Rilgar" hehe - star wars reference]. *5. And if we are near Vid-Comics - all Vid-comics take place before UYA and after R&C Rilgar visit, excluding first vid-comic - it is before 2002 game ;) (but that's my observations)

This is less to do with Drek but something that stood out in the 1st game is for a while clank was really the only trying to do anything good, everyone else you meet is too greedy and oblivious to what's going on. Yeah ratchet does do something but it's mostly just him repaying clank for getting his ship working, he helps clank get to qwark and then he's done. At least until later where he becomes more personally invested. All of this is missing from the 2016 movie and the game

Same thing with the Reimagined, but different aspect, I didn't mind doctor nefarious being there, but there should have been a better dynamic between the 2 villains or he should have been saved for a sequel.

I got to see the the 2016 Ratchet & Clank game was incredibly disappointing I really would like to see them do a remake of Ratchet & Clank going Commando but I hope they do it right if they decide to do it cuz basically they took out all the Kick-Ass weapons from Ratchet & Clank 1 and replace them with a whole bunch of pointless weapons and no one gave a damn about plus they made it incredibly hand-holding to where it was really insulting the intelligence of the players even little children could figure out half this crap without being constantly pandered to

[@VtnVivi]

If we do get a GC re-imagining, it should be better than 2016 and why? Because there's no movie tie-in therefore more creative freedom!

My dad introduced me to ratchet and clank and I Was always able beat to that giant furbie thing and dr nefarious when I was younger but Could never beat drek, and now never will because our PlayStation 2 broke so I’m hoping there gonna remake the first 3 games so then I could replay the games and finish the first one

I never beat drek but I got a pc with a emulator I’m currently playing the original bring it on drek I’m not a kid no more 😂

[@isatherebel1520]

Bro original villian and the whole story for sure, bro that first game had a really well constructed story and character development and wasn't afraid of edgy humour I think I said this before how they should a let the series writer do his version of the script for that movie bro

[@igknightlord63]

Honestly VTNVIVI , they should have left nefarious alone or gave him a smaller role because the first game was about drek and the duo's origin story stopping drek while getting over their own issues. Nefarious should have made an escape in the end to set up a cliffhanger(while drek was still a blarg) and have drek fight on veldin like the first game. Sure the reimagining was susposed to be different but they threw in too many big bads of the series(probably for fanservice) and had dreks whole plot be squashed down to a stepping stone for nefarious. Nefarious should have stayed in the shadows, collected data, and escaped to return another day while drek and ratchet were fighting. Thats what i think let me know what you think.

Couldn't have said it better myself!

[@kaylatarapaskoski2390]

The game (2016) as a whole lacks so much depth

[@Clankin]

I’m probably the only one that actually liked the ratchet and clank movie lol, the one I prefer the most is definitely classic drek without the pupils makes drek look intimidating and his plot to make a perfect planet by taking out parts of planets thus, destroying the planets is actually kinda scary if you think about it

[@VtnVivi]

The movie bad.

[@Clankin]

VTNVIVI movie drek:garbage Old drek:god tier

[@briancornejo1292]

I like the 2002 version because that’s what I grew up with. The other reason why drek was more menacing and had a deeper voice haha. But for the 2016 movie Drek was more like a kids villain story than a heartless brute and well the movie was meant for kids and not really for adults like sure when I went to watch it in theaters, there were some really cool Easter eggs from the past games and Daxter lol. But I thought it was going to be dark and have that old hidden humor like the old games. But nah not even one bit except the ryno rip ya a new one. That’s the only funny thing out of the movie but over and all it should of gone with the old drek just what vivi said.

In the reimagining instead of fighting qwark it could be with drek and then nefarius would come out and kill the drek and the rest the same

[@dandycrow2821]

No, actually Drek admired and trusted a lot Nefarious until the betrayal, it's Nefarious who simply manipulated Drek and the Blarg to pursue his hidden agenda and betrayed Drek in order to pursue it. Plus, Nefarious in the 2016 film and game is not remotely as comedic as his original counterpart, nor has any redeeming qualities, he's pure evil. Plus, if you heard Drek's voice in the background alerting the troops and belittling Ratchet on board of the Deplanetizer the first time, you can hear Drek's plan to create new planets for his profit agenda and create a Blarg empire in Solana, also revealing that he cares very little of the goodness and life of the inhabitants because "sacrifices must be made".

I don't see a competition. Classic Drek was intimidating, threatening and only cared about himself whereas reboot Drek is just a generic bad guy who cracks a joke each time he is on screen.

[@BlueStripedRenulian]

Love this video! Points out everything that was done wrong with Drek in the reboot. While the graphics were beautiful and nostalgic, the story and characters were just not the same. It was one big hot mess because Kevin Munroe just had to throw a bit of everything into one universe. Everything felt watered down, ''kid friendly'', predictable and somewhat insulting to the original storyline. Drek was a pretty dark and diabolical villain, maybe even more evil than Nefarious. The reboot just made Drek take a back seat and become merely a puppet and don't get me started on his voice replacement. Now, Paul Giamatti isn't a bad voice actor but there was just no reason to replace Kevin Michael Richardson when he had that bad guy voice downpat. I wish we could have seen the original script for the movie by T.J. Fixman. It felt so disheartening knowing his work was dismissed for the crap we got. While he may not have been the original writer for the first game, I believe he would have done Drek justice.

Thank you for making these videos. I never played the original game but I own the sequel so um yeah watching this I can tell which is better 😅

[@VtnVivi]

No problem thanks for always watching!

[@TANKtheRipper]

I actually love R&C 2016 but Drek was propably the biggest change that upset me especially his eyes and skin. He went from somewhat menacing looking to looking like a joke (which makes sense in hindsight).

[@VtnVivi]

Thanks for sharing!

[@mistermann4163]

I do question how they can make a sequel given how much of that reboot has mashed up all of the games stuff (particularly the fact that the robot factory is designed from Megacorps HQ). They kind of have to now make up some new things for any possible sequel to the reboot giving them more work than needed.

[@VtnVivi]

The way I see it, the 2016 game is a product of the movie. They can just forget that and move on to post ITN.

[@rueagonvyceratops2879]

I still have to say Ratchets 2002 form and shape i love the best . because he was less human in appearance and more anthro animal species. I wish i can see that form again here in 2020. or beyond 2020. So hes more acuity to a furry , than a HUMAN!!
