Crognard The Barbarian
 

1. Do we think the slug people are a foreshadow for Napoleon Bonafrog and his froggy crew? Where they seem friendly but the lead frog seems to have an ulterior motive in this picture. LINK

2. There seems to be too few lead characters in Crognard. Previously there has usually been a character for character ratio, so there were four ship crew members in Space Heroes, one for each turtle. Then in the Robomecha style series, there were five characters to represent the turtles and April.

In Crognard, there's only four when surely there should be at least six (turtles, April and Casey)?

So who do these four represent?

Crognard seems more like Casey than Leo.
April is most likely the princess/superwoman.
I think Raphael is the muscle.
Not sure if the ghoul is Donnie or Mikey.

I would've thought they (non-human mutant turtles) would've been turn off how they suddenly start beating on the slug people.

I friggen love the Thundarr/Thundercats references.
I'm assuming they'll meet something like the Herculoids and beef up their cast a bit.

I love the new show. Its possible more cast members will be introduced or that the new show won't reflect the turtles lives.

I love this new show but then again I loved the other two as well.

I also love this new show and can't wait to see more of it for sure.

I didn't get much foreshadowing with this new cartoon. I suppose it could be foreshadowing to the punk frogs. But to me the Slug people felt more like a play off the smurfs as the elder of the group did have a papa smurf-esk beard.

And while the sorceress character did say she sensed danger from the Slug People they were approaching. There wasn't any real danger presented so Crognard and his companions were simply beating them up for no reason other then the fact they were slug people.

Perhaps the Turtles are stepping away from the in series show being a parallel to whats going on.

I guess you guys will have to explain to me the in parrallel to the show with the cartoons they watch. I've never noticed. Possibly because I don't pay much attention to the little shows they watch. For the most part, I find them a waste of screen time.

I don't think any of the characters serve to represent the turtles. It's pretty clear they're nothing alike. This one, unlike the past two, is merely a cartoon.

Thank **** for that!

If the star trek wannabe show was Leo's favorite, this one is Mikey's favorite, and wasn't the Voltron one Donnie's. Then does that mean the next show will be Raph's favorite? If so what do you think the show will be?

:P

Maybe the A-team or Starsky and Hutch?:thyper:

But they never said that was Donnie's favorite show, they just indicated that Dr. Blip had an unrequited crush on the princess which was suggested to resemble Donnie's unrequited crush on April. And it was the other guys enjoying the show more then Donnie.

James Avery voiced the Junkyard Dog on there. I was watching it a few years ago since I never saw it as a kid and caught it. lol. OMG!!! A Piper imitation would be great! If they do make a show based on that, I hope there's a Piper like character with the villains. I loved his insanity in general and Wrestlemania VI is one if my favs because of him. Gotta love 80s WWF...

That would be perfect for Raph! Ciro make this happen!

Ha, I was thinking of the A-Team as well. Raphael is totally BA! Totally!

You know, I couldn't see these fully working, unless they do the Mr. T cartoon (loved it as a kid). Seems so far they are spoofing actual animated series. There isn't one for the A-Team or Starsky & Hutch, but there is an A-Team comic.

Well not everything has to be directly reference from animated television show.
Although that gives me a idea for them do G.I cartoon. OH MY GOD, I want to see this happen in TMNT!

True, but replicating the art styles of those shows is interesting.

That aside, if they did do GI Joe, I might watch this time around. lol. As a kid I didn't care for it much.

Some good ideas for an in-show spin off. Could see them doing something like those, or a mix of them, for something that isn't sci-fi.

Uh, season one, they were spoofing Star Trek, which was a live action show, not animated. So, I don't see what the problem is.

Star Trek had an animated series by filmation.

I've never gotten into Star Trek, Power Rangers or Conan the Barbarian, Thundercats - so those Space Heroes, that second season hero team and now Cogbzhow2spell the barbarain... they're pretty much a side chuckle for me.

They were spoofing Star Trek the animated series

Welcome back, dude!

Never heard of it, either way, the scene where they had the furries everywhere on the ship was directly related to an actual episode from Star Trek.

Trouble with Tribbles. I love that episode.

Thanks for noticing. High school really takes up all your time and energy.

Ha. Good luck!

Same here. Sadly, it's the only episode I remember from that show! And boy, was it cute. I'm not a big Star Trek fan, but I did like the Tribbles episode, and then the movie about the whales, and then the two J.J. Abrahms reboots. The rest, I just couldn't get into.

Yeh, same. I watched that episode recently at my birthday party, but I don't remember much, I didn't sleep at all that night.

Awe, what was so scary about them?:P

They're fuzzy. Fuzzy things are scary.

Spoiler that! 2spoopy4me

Makes me wonder if this is where the thought of the Gremlins started.

There was an animated series in the 70s.

And like i said the eps the turtles were watching were ripped from the live action show. We had a lengthy discussion about a few posts up.

But the animation style was exactly like the animated series. That's why I said seems they're spoofing things that had an animated version so that they can emulate the animation style. That's why I said a Mr. T show as opposed to the A-Team.

Out of the two spoofs we've had so far, I loved Space Heroes. Too funny. Loved the red shirt joke. They borrowed stuff from the live action series and the animated one, I suppose.

Edit: sorry about missing the discussion. It took me directly to your post quoting me.
