Is anyone else tired of the Kraang

[Mega Man]

Kraang invades Earth in the season 1 finale. Kraang invades Earth in the season 2 finale. I think I get the point.

They were cool villains in season 1, but give it a rest already.

I thought for sure that Kraang Prime was fried with all that electricity from the Turtle Mech, but no it didn't happen. Also, ruining Irma's character sucked a lot, I liked Irma, she was cool.

Yeah I'm getting quite tired of them myself.

[Warhorse]

Yeah, I say, let the Triceratons come and wipe them out, and let them be the invaders for a while!

[Mega Man]

I thought I was the only one tired of the Kraang. I'm glad I'm not.

I liked the Utroms in the 2k3 series. They made some of the stories more interesting and were good allies to the turtles. The Kraang have become irritating. Here's hoping Agent Bishop is in season 3, and uses some sort of super weapon to destroy the Kraang (except for one, I would like to keep one and for him to mutate into a character similar to the 1980's cartoon character).

[JTH]

Yes and no.

I'm annoyed with "goofy" Kraang.

Badass, serious, actually being able to take over the planet Kraang; I can't get enough of that.

[snake]

Sort of. I liked them better in Season 1.

[Gunpowder]

I used to like them, but only for the way they speak (which I thought was quite funny, actually). But having two season finales that both revolve around the them trying to invade the planet? Yeah. A bit much. I loved seeing Dimension X, but that was because there were more bizarre life-forms than Kraang droids. So Dimension X, I don't mind. I also like seeing their mutation experiments (i.e. Justin, Aprilderp) more than the Kraang themselves.

I think there might be one more story arc involving them (not immediately, but most likely in the middle of season 3); and then they'll be forgotten. Here's hoping.

[Warhorse]

I'm just wondering. THe Kraang coming in finally and really invading like this. Wasn't that how the comics were near the end, aliens invaded Earth and kind of became permanent immigrants, and then citizens, and were allowed to walk around in the open, and in essence, the Turtles could do the same. I wonder if the creators are trying to go for that, where the Turtles can now walk out in the open and be more sociable.

Ciro said something in the interview he had with Andre the Black Nerd that they would be beginning to wrap up the Kraang plot and focus more on Shredder.

The Kraang story being wrapped up, and a focus on Shredder and the Foot? All I can say is:

I agree with Warhorse, the Tricaeratons should be the new alien invader villains.

[IndigoErth]

Is anyone else tired of the Kraang
Not quite, but might not be long before I am. Nice to see the story with them move a leap forward so hopefully it will wrap up at some point.

[Konchadunga]

I'm extremely tired of them; yes. They're basically one-joke villains, especially given their near lack of individual personalities, their equally homogeneous color scheme is making fights look dull, and worse still, they've become Deus ex machina fuel. Need a new toy? Put in a plot about Kraang mutagen. Need to give the Foot or the Turtles some new techology? Have them get some from the Kraang. Need an alien-related origin story for weird things? Make it the Kraang, instead of creating other aliens. It ties back to what I said about the obnoxious trend of TMNT plots lately; universes look small when they do that.

[CyberCubed]

I fear that since mutagen/mutants are such a major part of the Nick series, we'll be stuck with the Kraang for the entire run of the show. I hope not, but its looking that way.

[Warhorse]

Eh, he could be lying. Won't be the first time, "*cough* about the Karai demanding to know if Splinter is her father storyboards,*cough*".

[ssjup81]

Nope, not yet. I still find them amusing and entertaining.

[Ashwolf]

so excited that bishop is guaranteed to show up but him ending end mutated would so blow it, got a lot of mutant characters already, need more human type characters in the show, not to mention, bishop is wicked as he is

[Luckyday]

I really think that there needs to be a revelation about the kraang or I don't know, something thats not the same thing over and over again. :tsweatdr:

Either introduce aliens factions or make them grey and morally complex but since I know from experience that ciro doesn't do grey and morally complex then give us the damn neutrinos already!:x

[Warhorse]

Well, we don't know for absolute sure that Bishop will be in this. They might make a likeness of him, or hell, maybe even make a female version of him to throw us speculators off. But, I know what you mean. I'm thinking, if there is a Bishop, maybe he's the source behind Kurtzman, and he's been trying to find April himself this whole time.

[Shark_Blade]

Nope, love them alien Kraangs.

[blindturtle02]

I thought about it for a while, and no, I don't think I'm getting tired of these guys. If they stay around for the remainder of the show, cool with me. I like their tech, and I like their mutagen. Although I'd love to see more of a focus on Shredder. Can't wait for that.

[Konchadunga]

What about Karai? Or Slash? Or Neutralizer? (Pretty unpleasant guy, but he's more a rogue than part of the evil "side".)

[Wretched Reptile]

Ciro said something in the interview he had with Andre the Black Nerd that they would be beginning to wrap up the Kraang plot and focus more on Shredder.

This is certainly what NEEDS to happen, so here's hoping. Shredder is starting to feel like an afterthought in some of these overarching plots (and even in his own dedicated appearances), and that's not a good thing whatsoever.

I fear that since mutagen/mutants are such a major part of the Nick series, we'll be stuck with the Kraang for the entire run of the show. I hope not, but its looking that way.

Sadly, I fear you may be right about this. It really does feel like with the apparent overdependence on mutants and creatures that this iteration seems to have, we'll never get rid of the Kraang entirely. Still, I remain hopeful.

But yes, I'm honestly sick to death of them. They were fun at first, and even interesting in some ways, but all that good will dried up pretty fast after they increasingly wore out their welcome. It really hit me hard in the season finale this time. They're just grating and boring now IMO. Recycling their giant invasion from the first season finale was the definitive death knell I'd wager, along with completely soiling the bed concerning Irma's character when that unnecessary and undesired reveal took place. Quite frankly, the Kraang are worn out and have little else, if anything, to offer. Bring on the Triceratons, by all means.

Definitely glad to see I'm not alone in these feelings, either. :tlol:

[Luckyday]

Admittedly, I have forgotten Karai but she was the only that seems grey to me.:oops: The other two are just neutral or haven't receive a lot screen time yet.

[ObiWanFan4life]

To be honest, I feel like the Kraang have been overused this season, and I would like to see other villians in the show, but I'm not entirely sick of them just yet.

[Krang100]

Tired of the kraang is very harsh to said, but i prefer Krang over Kraang, the Utroms over Kraang. But the think it really annoyed is the way the show wasted the character Irma 2012's version. She was a good friend of the turtles (1987 version) and this version would have a great potential, the show could develop the character and make the most of her, but in the 2 last episodes they decided made Irma is in fact Kraang Subprime. It was a very bad, very very bad joke. I have nothing against Kraang Subprime, but to introduce this character, was needless to mess up Irma character, in other words, is almost impossible to bring Irma's 2012 counterpart a least the show would decide to explain about Irma in season 3. But if not, it was a shame.

I hope to see Krang's 2012 counterpart, the Triceratons's 2012 version, Bishop's 2012 version, the Utroms's 2012 version. I'd like the real Irma's 2012 version would be present in the show (if the show could bring her) and of course, i don't like anymore about this surprises such as Irma/Kraang Subprime with another character, because is a nasty way to mess up with a character.

A least i liked the appearance of Granitor 2012 version in the show who was working with the kraang, it was a great contribution. I hope to see TMNT 1987 again, along with Shredder, Krang and Baxter's 87 version even if they appearance is a mere cameo.

Did you see the way Kirby was looking out to everybody! That guy is not who he seems. He may not be a bad guy, but he's not normal either, be it before or after his mutations. He may not even be April's biological father, but just someone looking out for her, for her real parents.

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, I think there's something up with Kirby, too, though I can't quite put my finger on it. I'm not tired of the Kraang themselves, but I am tired of Kirby constantly being a victim of theirs. That guy can't catch a break.

[drgon78]

That would be interesting if Kirby wasn't April's real father.

[Cowabunga Carl]

The Kraang were an interesting concept at first. The first season it was interesting to see the development of them, and their plot to invade was interesting. However as the series has progressed they seem to be being used for almost every episode. We need to see an expanded Rouges gallery so characters don't become grating like the Kraang have.

[Luckyday]

That would be interesting if Kirby wasn't April's real father.

You know, last time someone theorized anything, he/she said something that April is half kraang and that turn out to be a sort of true so if I remember correctly, someone also said that Kirby could be Dr. Honeycutt or maybe a human Dr. Honeycutt.

My personal theory for now is that the Kirby we have seen recently is a clone and the real one is with the Kraang still.

[Shark_Blade]

That would be interesting if Kirby wasn't April's real father.
I'm pretty sure April was a by product of Kraang's semen and April's mom ovum. Kirby is just a third wheel.

[Luckyday]

Doesn't April have the same hair and eye color as Kirby?

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, but her mom had red hair and blue eyes, too.

[Luckyday]

Yeah, but her mom had red hair and blue eyes, too.

You're thinking of the IDW series. The mom in this universe is a blond.

[BubblyShell22]

Really? I never noticed that. Haven't read the IDW series, so I know nothing about it.

[THGhost]

I wish they'd move on from the Kraang and give other races a chance.

This reminds me of another thread (http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=48162). :P

[BubblyShell22]

Well, I'm sure they will, but we'll see how things go. For now, they're going to be focusing on the guys in the country, so that's going to be all kinds of fun.

[Luckyday]

Do you think that they're going to reference Sons of the Silent Age or base an entire episode on Mikey's fantasy story that set in Japan?

[ernesth100]

The Kraang are the only way the Turtles can use their weapons to the fullest extent. When their fighting humans they have to hold back.

Also though its off topic anyone remeber when Kraang Prime had April trapped and then the robot tentacles came out of no where? I died laughing when that happened.

Um, no they're not. What about the Foot bots? Last time I checked the guys go all out of them as well. Plus, they pretty much have to go all out when fighting Shredder.

[ssjup81]

Well yeah but the Kraang are the ones who made the footbots...or was that Stockman? I think it was the Kraang.

[ssjup81]

[IndigoErth]

Kind of in-between now after the finale. They finally did something big again so ok, that was exciting. But at the same time it's like ok.. you had your chance to try to destroy half the city, you can go away now. lol

[snake]

I'm pretty hyped about seeing Krang Prime rule over NYC. It'll be a desolate wasteland probably secured off by the EPF, which will lead in the turtles encounter with Bishop. The turtles defeat Bishop and make their way into the city, fiding themselves in a City At War™ between shredder and the kraang.

[Megchan]

I know the Kraang made the Foot bots. What I meant was that when the guys fight the Foot bots, they're only fighting against a normal, not-being-piloted-by-a-Kraang, robot.

[BubblyShell22]

I have no idea. I never liked "Sons of the Silent Age" when 4Kids did it, but if Nick did it, that would be interesting. Again, it depends on what they want to do.

I really don't want them to do a Sons of the Silent Age episode. I just want a easter egg.

I would rather that they do Mikey's story with a reveal at the end it was just a story written by Mikey.

[chrisdude]

I'm not tired of them. I've actually been looking forward to seeing Dimension X or a full-scale invasion for a long time. Each episode that moved us closer to that got me more excited. So I guess you could say I've always wanted more Kraang. But now that we're here, I would like to see a satisfying conclusion, with the turtles saving the world.

The turtles never actually defeated the Kraang, They just barely escaped against Kraang Prime whom I'm almost positive is not yet dead.

Yes, I know, and assume the city is going to be an interesting mess when they return... o.O

[shredder orokusaki]

Most of the humans has been mutated into Kraangs and now i control half of the city! The other half is controlled by Kraang. The turtles can not defeat us as we have millions of kraang soldiers ready to attack them at any time!!! MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAA!!!!
