Would You Consider Kraang Prime Female? - Page 2

evan2000 · 10-08-2014, 01:55 PM

I wouldn't consider anything as "confirmed" unless it is specifically mentioned in the show itself. Not even if Ciro said it. I mean, he did say that the leaked storyboards were NOT TRUE, no?

As for the question if Kraang Prime is male or female, it could be neither (or both, like snails) - ie. genderless. The same could also be true for Krang in the OT, as I don't recall any episodes ever mentioning Krang's gender.

*Candy Kappa* · 10-08-2014, 01:58 PM

For all we know the Kraang could be sexless, more then two sex or hermaphrodites. They might not even have a concept of gender until they where exposed to human society.

Life in it's entirety is baffling, isn't it...

Since when is any aspect of the franchise not open for discussion. And why would it be so preposterous that anyone who's unsure might ask and lean toward assuming it's female because it in fact sounds like Roseanne Barr, who sounds like a woman, rough as her voice may be.

More baffling Turtles discussions have certainly been had. (Like nostrils... but that's for another forum.)

I think you've pin-pointed the question we should really be asking: Is Roseanne Barr actually female?

Do we have any brave volunteers to find out the answer to that question?

Ciro refered to Kraang Prime as a, "he" when the kids were asking him about it before the Season 1 finale aired.

Since Kraang Prime is essentially Krang from the OT reimagined, it would make sense he was male.

As I said, even Krang's gender in the OT is questionable, as it was never mentioned in the show itself (not that I remember). It could well be genderless as well.

Referring someone with unknown gender as a "he" is very common too. Even within this forum itself, many times we referred each other as "he" although the forum member could be either gender. So take it with a grain of salt, I don't think Ciro really "confirm" anything.

Plus kraang prime is not it krang reimagined. It's an all new character. We've been through this already.

Krang was male in the OT. Krang's refered to as "he" and "him" several times by other characters.

I know you're saying this just because I'm in this thread, but you know good and well Kraang Prime is intended to be Krang. That's why its the leader and that's why it has an android body that resembles the original, lived in the Technodrome, has stone warriors in Dimension X, and was making deals with Shredder.

He's a little different because EVERY old character who has returned was changed in Nick. Just like Bebop and Rocksteady aren't street punks anymore, Traag can't talk, Rat King was Falco, and Rahzar is now Dogpound.

Metalhead 2.0 · 10-08-2014, 04:26 PM

Are we REALLY questioning whether or not a cartoon alien brain with tentacles has a penis?
Is it relevant to the story in any way or are some of you just trying to justify the thoughts you've been having?

*THGhost* · 10-08-2014, 04:49 PM

KP sounds female to me cos, y'know, they're voiced by Roseanne Barr.

As for KP being a re-imagined Krang, I really can't see it.

*IndigoErth* · 10-08-2014, 05:32 PM

Unisex species with multipurpose tentacles. That is all.

He's probably saying it because a former writer on the show said Kraang Prime isn't the Nick version of Krang.

He'd say that about any character though, because all the characters are so different than the past they're basically the same in name-only.

If Rahzar was named, "Wolf-man" I doubt anyone would have made the connection.

*Coola Yagami* · 10-08-2014, 06:00 PM

I'm just not seeing it. The character is just too different. Plus krang never led an army of his own race in other versions. And krang never had a second in command sub prime either.

*IndigoErth* · 10-08-2014, 06:04 PM

Kraang, we need more Kraang to further invasion of Kraang. Kraang is instructed to make sweet Kraang to Kraang to take over Earth for Kraang.

I'll... uh, just see myself out..

FWIW, I'm of the opinion that you can be male without having a penis. They're aliens, I don't really imagine that they have a strict gender binary like most of the humanoids on Earth.

Best response ever.
Since I don't watch the Nick TMNT religiously, I have no real theory concerning Kraang Prime. However, I did read a few decent theories in this thread.

*blindturtle02* · 10-08-2014, 09:42 PM

I can't stop thinking of KP as female but that's because Rosanne is voicing the character. Does anyone know if they've addressed this in the show? I do remember Leo in the season one finale saying,"I can't hold it back any longer!" So Idk. Choose one or both, I guess.
