What happened to the Kraang blending in with the population?
 
So the vast majority of the series presented the Kraang donning the same disguise, mostly for the comedic value of "Haha, these idiots subvert the point of disguises!". The season 2 finale however depicted some greater diversity in their disguises, most infamously including Irma in that.

Here's the question though, if the Kraang were able to do this all along, why were we only only shown their useless disguises up until that point? Considering that it was probably the last time we would see them make use of disguises to fool humans, seeing how it seems the staff has other plans for them, it came across as pointless to reveal that concept so late.

Was it some idea from Ciro's pitch the writers scrapped in favor of comedy, so he decided to squeeze it in where he could find a blank spot?

I think the punch line is that only KSP is integrated into human society, by speaking with a normal speaking pattern and a very well made disguise.

I'm wondering if he'll eventually become this show's version of the "real" Krang. Maybe he gets left behind after the others are all routed for good? I can see him siding with Shredder, if for no other reason than their mutual hatred for the turtles, LOL! And suddenly, I really want to hear those two bickering in the show....

Candy Kappa 08-26-2015 01:52 PM

He might. He's the competent one, while Kraang Prime really haven't done much herself. He might achieve more alone then what the shoe Kraang species have done the past 5000 years :lol:

Kraang Prime is the real Krang. And why do people keep calling it a female when Ciro confirmed its male?

MsMarvelDuckie 08-26-2015 01:59 PM

Because it's voiced by Roseanne? Just a guess. And I was referring to THE Krang- from the OT. Sorry, but KSP is a much better fit. Prime is just too dang big to fit the role of "real" Krang. But Sub-prime is perfect! And he's got the right tone, too.

I think of KSP as a young version of Krang, more sassy as the OT Krang and maybe even more intelligent and sly. Seeing as he is the only one who really is able to blend in perfectly what human speech and appearances belongs.

What does Kraang Prime being voiced by a female VA have to do with anything? Its a male character, Ciro confirmed it. There is no "Queen Kraang" or whatever people keep saying.

MsMarvelDuckie 08-26-2015 03:32 PM

What difference does that make? No one is saying the character of Kraang Prime isn't "male" if it's been confirmed that "he" is- but the VA is most DEFINITELY a gal! Last I checked Roseanne was still a female, even if the character she voiced isn't. Hence why so many people probably THINK it is. Her voice is very obviously her, and most people don't associate a female VA with a male character- unless it's Bart Simpson. But he gets a pass for being a kid.

The real Krang will never happen again people must understand that. It was only in the OT. If there is another krang he will still be a different character. Just look at IDW and OT Krang. They are not the same. They have the same name and aperance but they are not the same character. Krang in the OT was in almost evry episode now inI IDW we barely see him. While in the OT he wanted to conguer Earth in IDW he wants to tranforms it's atmmoshere to make it suitable for utroms to live. See? So if he ever a krang appears in the show expect him to have nothing in common with the other two Krangs.

Also, not everyone knows that it's male. I didn't until a while back. Didn't know that Ciro confirmed it. Some people only watch the show and don't keep up with the "behind the scenes stuff".

It's a shame that The Kraang aren't used any more. They are, or more like were, my favorite thing about the show.

xenopokemon 08-27-2015 10:41 AM

I don't miss the Kraang at all. Shredder is pretty good at mutating things on his own :lol:.

I think you missed the point. I wasn't saying that a new "Krang" would be exactly the same as the original one. But if Nick WERE to do something like that and have just ONE "Krang", Sub-prime would be the most likely choice. He's the closest in personality, intelligence, and his feelings regarding the turtles. He's also already got a body that is very different from all the other Kraang, which further singles him out as "unique". If Nick ever decides to go that route and have a character become "THE" Krang, it would be him. And I'm well aware that IDW's version of him is different- but he's also a lot like what Krang WOULD have been like if the show had gone a darker route like in 2K3 (which also had its own Krang!) He's conniving, vicious, underhanded, genocidal, and has no qualms about betraying anyone if he feels it furthers his goals. OT Krang was really just a watered-down version of the same traits- made tamer for kids. (And we see hints of this in the episodes revolving around Dimension X, especially whenever the Neutrinos appear.)
