I don't care for Kraang Prime and wish he was more like the OT.

Is the world ready for another Krang?

"OT" means "Original Turtles", right?

*drgon78* · 07-20-2014, 04:09 PM

No, I have no problems with the Krang.

Kraang plots are becoming repetitive, they need to mix it up a bit. Also I find it odd they're focused on invading solely the one area of New York the turtles are living in. I'm guessing it's just a limitation of them using CGI because a global Kraang invasion and the turtles working around the world with international mutants would be awesome. We never even got to see a glimpse of Shredder's trip to Japan which was disappointing to me.

This is probably the case. Because Ciro had said they only had the budget for 1 background set a day. And something like the Shellraiser cost about 8 background sets at least.

Still I agree with the Kraang attacking or basing themselves in that one section of New York. It's like villains in anime attacking Tokyo when there are plenty of other cities they could start off with.

This always bugged me as a kid with cartoons. And the fact that it's usually because the show's budget isn't big enough totally ruins the illusion, reminding me that it's just a TV show.

cgi tv is pretty much a puppet show...

I think the Kraang are hilarious, but I do agree that there's not much to them right now. I'd love to see more development with them and wonder how that will play out in the final episodes of season 2 since there is going to be something with Dimension X there from what I recall. I do agree that Kurtzman is not who he seems to be, and I could see him being a former Kraang who turned good or maybe a former prisoner of the Kraang. I hope we learn more about him soon. Same goes with April's mom and what really happened to her.

I find Kurtzman really suspicious in general. I like the idea of him being a former Kraang or something crazy. I like the idea of him being from Dimension X. He knows way too much. Also some of the photos that Kurtzman had of April (well one I noticed), should've been impossible to get unless he had been standing right in front of her. The one where she first met Casey at her school. How in the world did he get that baby photo of April? How did he obtain a photo of a baby April with her parents. The whole thing is still strange to me.

I hope that they do expand on his character at some point and how he managed to get all of that information as well as how he managed to steal a TCRI keycard, etc.

Personally, my theory is that the Kraang will be developed more once the Turtles are on their turf...which makes me wonder how they'll survive in Dimension X if they probably can't breathe the air.

It's also possible Kurtzman could be the Fugatoid.

I suppose, I'm not going to call it that though, since it is a spin-off to a comic book and therefore not an "original". It's the first Turtles cartoon but it's not the original piece of work, so I just call it the fisrt Turtles cartoon, seems more accurate to describe it as such.

shredder orokusaki · 07-25-2014, 03:31 PM

I am not happy anymore. They need to focus more on me and my foot ninajs . Most episodoes of both season 1 and 2 so far has been about the kraang. Anyone else noticed that? I am the main vilian not them.

I'm sure it means Original Toon.

I enjoyed the Kraang for all of ten minutes. In the first episode of season 1, I was excited by the way they reference the Mirage comics / 4Kids and the Fred Wolf series at the same time, but since then they have become a repetitive villain. I get it already - they have lots of mutagen and no human is safe from it (in fact, I'm surprised there are any humans left in New York City at this rate). This series has so much potential and so many engaging / intriguing options for villains. The Kraang are boring and lack any real substance. Move on.
