I know it's been years since I've posted anything here but...
Those who determine sharpteeth as villains(not just antagonists, but call them villains) - I hate you...
Seriously guys, what's wrong with you? Don't you know how nature works? Then that makes domestic cats villains too, cause they eat mice(and those mice could also be characters we could like), would that automaticly make a cat a villain? NO! it only does what it does because it's insticts tell it to, not because of some hidden vicious intentions. I know Sharpteeth from LBT movies are easier to equalize to villains because they seem so scary and attack the main characters. But being truly evil-heck no! that's not what they are about. They are supposed to be antagonists for the movies plots, not evil, cunning and vicious bad guys.
Why do I care about this so much? I'm a big fan of reptiles, you see(the biggest reason why I love LBT so much) but one of the main reasons why they are almost always shown evil in fiction is because real reptiles(most of them) are predators. This automaticly classfies them as bad guys in the writers of fiction minds, and they think it's a good idea to make reptiles bad guys(ESPECIALLY snakes, my favorite animals, who are really peaceful in real life, but suffer stupid and completely unfair stereotypes being marked by humans). That said, I will NEVER change my opinion as I'm completely sure that a real and only villain on Earth is HUMAN. And they weren't around at the times of dinosaurs, as far as I know.
As for Strut - I still wouldn't classify him as much of a villain. His whole life he was pushed around by the only family he had-his evil brother. Sure, he wanted to push the kids from the wall, but I'm pretty sure he just wanted to pay them back for all those terrible scratches, NOT kill them. He was a really nice-hearted and looked innocent, sure he wasn't completely innocent(I wouldn't include him in my list otherwise) but he sure never seemed too bad to me, and DEFINITELY not worse than Rinkus and Sierra. I mean come on, he would probably be one of the niciest LBT guys if he never lived with his brother. All he would do is eat plants and wouldn't bother anyone
As for Topsy, I kinda agree with you there that he couldn't be classified as a villain, but he sure is one of the meaniest LBT characters. the fact that he is misguied(his racism and his opinion about other specoes of dinosaurs) doesn't make him innocent. He, unlike Cera, had a whole life to study other dinosaurs and if not equalize himself to them at least not hate them so much and avoid them like they are retarded and can only be a bad influence on his daughter. Again, he's not a villain but he is much of a bad guy sometimes.
P.S. I'm modifying my original post and removing Cera from my list
