The Best of Venger

Venger's best moments (in my opinion, anyway). Yet another video I put together during my 4-month+ internet blackout.

[@TandaSandaBanda]

This is apparently what Shattered Glass Optimus Prime would sound like.

[@lryuzaki1895]

yes this is also what Im here for

[@Hex_Spectre]

The authors of the original Shattered Glass comic have already confirmed that this voice is canon.

[@TandaSandaBanda]

@@Hex_Spectre Yeah

[@crimsondynamo615]

I can certainly believe it

[@PlanetZoidstar]

Funny that Venger's Eldritch Blasts make the same sound as Megatron's Fusion Blaster.

Before Skeletor... Before Megatron... Before Mumm-Ra... Before MonStar... There was VENGER!

[@Yumichan-mn5yk]

Dungeon and Dragons was from 1983 and Venger looked like Overlord from Blackstar

[@Shriektree22]

that voice, frankly, is terrifying. Now I know what Shattered Glass Optimus sounds like.

[@aqua8785]

It definitely has the evil prime sound to it. Am I the only one who still wants a shattered glass series? We have so many standard series at least give us one shattered glass reference the the rumored animated s4 ep.

Damn the way venger looked was so cool . One of the coolest looking cartoon villains along with mumra .

[@willyjakkz]

From his wardrobe, to his wings, to his horn, the color palette, his steed (Nightmare), capped off by his voice (Peter Cullen), and then the name Venger, they absolutely had the perfect combination to create the GREATEST MOST BADASS CARTOON VILLAIN OF ALL TIME!!!

[@Me-tq7tm]

This was great! Venger was definitely one of the all time best villains. Really miss this show..

[@CIorox_BIeach]

[@metalserfo]

The best "animerican" cartoon i have seen. One moment you're is missing when some warrors fight against Venger and all end in an atomic explosion and you can see a giant ghost of Venger going up in the sky with the ghosts of the warriors flying with him. It was epic.

In Transformer Shattered Glass, fiction writers Trent Troop and Greg Sepelak have said that evil Optimus sounds like Venger, the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon villain voiced by Peter Cullen.

[@watermunteconomie3938]

Peter Cullen again.. he's a boss indeed :)

[@KiCreativeStudioJP]

3:15 "...they are witches. And they will destroy you if you don't destroy them first." Looks like Venger has been studying American politics of the 21st century.

[@Nunya_Bidness_53]

The only childhood villain that still scares me as an adult. A masterful characterization and portrayal of Evil with a capital "E".

[@joustjoust1735]

“Some guy in a dress” 😂

[@newman8180]

That scene from Prison Without Walls where Venger slaps away Lukions attack was the best I've seen. Venger was known for deflecting attacks in this series. If you look he's done it many times. But that was one of the best ones in my opinion.

[@gedshepherd3106]

0:40 - Venger can fly faster than Mach 1. Which is 1234.8km/h That means in the air Venger's Movement Speed (in D&D terms) is *7000* at least.

[@Thewolverine0865]

There is no best death scene. Multiple times he appears to have met his doom, only to comeback with a vengeance...bc he's Venger😁. That scene is one one of my favorites in the series, however, with him looming threatening over the kids as if he could reach out and extinguish them, but must retreat to recuperate "I will rise again." Best disguise is when he played the halfling guide, second would be when he pretended to be Merlin. Still gave the video a 👍 bc Venger is one of my favorite cartoon villains. Thank you for the video.

[@Vigriff]

Ah yes, Venger. The Maleficent of the Hasbro'verse. Honestly, I hope there will be a Dungeons and Dragons cartoon made by today's technology.

[@modelermark172]

This "Best Of . . ." collection was fun to watch. In addition, it will prove a useful resource for "D&D-C" fan fiction writers. While it is easy for me to draw comparisons between Venger and Voldemort from "Harry Potter," the final scene ("Best Behavior," from 5:31 onward,) shows most how the two evil wizards are most different. Unlike Lord Voldemort, Venger seems to have a code of honor, of sorts. And that makes all the difference. Thanks for posting this, Rana. And welcome back!

[@EmperorOfTheScrubs]

So, THAT'S what SG prime sounds like!

[@silphco.corporation8827]

He's the best villian of all in my opinion.

[@BYERE]

Something that occurs to me... Venger has obviously visited the Underworld before, due to his minions being there, thus he can visit there again some other time. Thanks to the excursion in that episode, he also now knows the way to the Heart of Dawn. So, why doesn’t he go there again after that episode when DM and co aren’t around and drink from the pool then? Surely it would give him a powerful boost even though his magic had already been restored...

Venger 'died' many times. But I agree with this video - his 'death' in Day of the Dungeon Master was certainly the best. The way his 'spirit' lifts into the air and then he goes to grab the kids. I remember watching this on TV when I was a kid very well. Venger is the best. And I'm pleased to say, he's just as good to watch as an adult!
