Information on new characters! (SPOILERS)

[LH]

Here is the story:

http://tv.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-teenage-mutant-ninja-turtles-guest-cast-includes-215300684.html

Well, it looks like we now know who those two Kraang were going to notify.. Roseanne Barr will be voicing Kraang Prime, who will appear in the season finale.

Kelly Hu will be voicing Karai, who is "As lethal as she is beautiful, Karai brings a whole new level of chaos and complication for the Turtles,"

Cassandra Peterson will be voicing a genome research scientist who "takes a particular interest in April O'Neil."

"Goonies" star Corey Feldman will also be joining the cast.

What do you guys think about these new additions to the cast?

[CyberCubed]

I still can't believe we have all these Kraang aliens but no Krang himself.

Just one area IDW has over the cartoon.

[Zulithe]

Hahahah Roseanne as Kraang Prime this is gonna be awesome :P

[TheSkeletonMan939]

"As lethal as she is beautiful..."

Well then Karai shouldn't be too much of a problem.

[Xav]

I still can't believe we have all these Kraang aliens but no Krang himself. I guessing that what "Kraang Prime" will be. But seriously? Roseanne Barr?
Well then Karai shouldn't be too much of a problem.:lol:

[Machias Banshee]

Well... this is interesting. Karai looks like she's got a unibrow, and the Kraang are going to be led by a cackling psycho that wants to bring back the guillotine... Perfect! :thumbsup: :P

I find it odd for so many middle-aged/older type people to be voice-acting on this show. I know there's a lot of them in the industry, but dang.. for a lil kid's show, the age median's in the upper 40s. And Elvira for a scientist that's got eyes on April? I have a wicked feeling our 'normal' April's going to be part alien or something genetically engineered... like the Sumdac girl from TFA.

[The Stryker]

ROSEANNE?!

That's the best news ever.

[ToTheNines]

Wish they woulda gave us Rat King's voice actor. Guess we'll find out if it actually is Blum next week.

[Mona_Lisa]

I can't wait for the new episodes to start!!!! I hope that isn't Karai in the picture?:teek:

[Donatello19]

Kraang Prime should be interesting, can't wait to see her/it.

[Mona_Lisa]

Kraang Prime should be interesting, can't wait to see her/it.

I am Hoping that pic. is of Kraang prime, but probably not:D

[NinjaMan]

That genome scientist sounds interesting.

[Sabacooza]

Please don't let that picture be Karai. She looks so retarded. She kind of reminds me of a character from Thundercats.

[Powder]

ROSEANNE?!

That's the best news ever.

Thiiiiissssss.

But Karai looks HORRIBLE. I've liked virtually everything so far and defended most creative choices the Nick team made, but the girl is like, troll ugly.

[MikeandRaph87]

Hahahah Roseanne as Kraang Prime this has gotta be a joke :P

There fixed it for you. First casting that Biggs guy to taint a turtle now her?

[ToTheNines]

There fixed it for you. First casting that Biggs guy to taint a turtle now her?

You're a pussy.

[MikeandRaph87]

You're a pussy.

I'm sooo offended. I am social conservative while you are a social liberal. So I don't see the point in your quoting me as we are of different sides of the fence. I don't like people like Biggs involved in a family friendly franchise I care deeply about. Its embarrsing IMHO. Barr I think is a nutcase and its laughable that she would do voice work on Ninja Turtles. I much perfer voice actors by trade than some b-list actor doing a voice.

[ToTheNines]

Dude, it's acting. Why would care about anyone's personal lives behind the characters? Rob Paulsen could secretly be a coke dealer and it doesn't make him any less qualified to do be an awesome Donatello. Barr, while totally loopy, has an spot on voice for Krang.

And I'm a registered republican, by the way.

Ha ha!

Back to Roseanne, she is a name. They are all names. Anything to bring in more mainstream viewers is a good thing in my books.

[Jester]

I've never liked Roseanne...as an actress or a person.
I mean when you've seen this:
8EUzeGe9hxA
you tend to wanna avoid her like the plague.

[Jephael]

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually going to have to disagree with Jester. That's one of the funniest videos I've ever seen! I can't wait to hear Rosanne as Kraang Prime!

[Ninjinister]

I'm sooo offended. I am social conservative while you are a social liberal.

This s**t has zero to do with politics other than the fact that what he said happened to be about a politician's wife. The sooner people stop pretending that one's affiliation dictates how they feel about stuff, the better this world is going to start being a tolerable place.

If you start whining about people trying to take your freedom, you're getting socked in the mouth.

[TheCanadiandrome]

Interesting casting choices

[Konchadunga]

Forgive me for not paying any attention to Third Parties that will never win an election, but what is the political issue with this "Rosanne?"

[TurtleMaster4]

Thiiiiissssss.

But Karai looks HORRIBLE. I've liked virtually everything so far and defended most creative choices the Nick team made, but the girl is like, troll ugly.

agreed. She needs a make over. Maybe she can get to gether with april sometime. :tcool:

[BubblyShell22]

Wow. Sounds awesome to me. Can't wait to see how this plays out. And I'm thrilled that a new episode will be featured on Feb. 2. Happy birthday to me!

[Raph's Girl]

Forgive me for not paying any attention to Third Parties that will never win an election, but what is the political issue with this "Rosanne?"

I could care less about her politics or her peanut farm in Hawaii (or whatever it is she grows). I just don't like her period. Never have. Didn't like her tv show much either. Her voicing Kraang Prime makes me wonder how annoying, loud mouthed and abnoxious the Kraang Queen will be. :P

[Vivi]

I like the Roseanne choice...interesting. She was great in She Devil. That cake scene, oy.

[hudemx]

I'm with Vivi on this one - Roseanne Barr is a really interesting Choice - granted I don't like her Style of Comedy, but she is a good actress after all...

[meta ray mek]

If the normal Kraang are any indication... I expect it to be amplified by four-fold.

[Yorae]

Aw, no Rat King VA? But otherwise, very exciting news!

I am very intrigued by that genome scientist character. Makes me have flashbacks of the "Is April Human?" thread...

[Ninjinister]

Wait, now someone's drug Roseanne's name into the political quagmire?

When will this madness stop?

[Coola Yagami]

Elvira, Kelly Hu and Roseanne. Can't friggin wait!!!

[LH]

Is it just me, or did The Rat King sorta sound like Dracula in that quick sound byte during today's epsiode? :tlol:

[NinjaMan]

Is it just me, or did The Rat King sorta sound like Dracula in that quick sound byte during today's epsiode? :tlol:

OOO I hope this goes online soon. I missed it.

[Coola Yagami]

He kinda reminds me of the Scarecrow from the last season of Batman Animated Series. That crossed with some sort of evil dark preacher.

[miru]

So now

Krang always sounded like an old lady.

[snake]

Well... this is interesting. Karai looks like she's got a unibrow, and the Kraang are going to be led by a cackling psycho that wants to bring back the guillotine... Perfect! :thumbsup: :P

I hope that's not the case, April should be human and that's it.
