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

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.

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.

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

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.

Tired of the kraang is very harsh to said, but i prefer Krang over Kraang, the Utroms over Kraang.
Spoiler:
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.
Spoiler:
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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I'm pretty sure April was a by product of Kraang's semen and April's mom ovum. Kirby is just a third wheel.

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

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

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

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

This reminds me of another thread.

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.

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?

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.
