Do You Miss The Kraang?

I know we'e just gotten to see them in our most recent episode, but barring that, how do you feel?

Over time, I'd seen more & more people say they were tired of The Kraang, given they had so many appearances & were often times directly responsible for episodes they didn't take part in, too. I was starting to feel that way myself, but after this stretch of Kraang-free content leading up to their resurgence, I gotta say, I missed 'em.

The action never suffers for the sake of censors, we get to see them stabbed, blown up, torn apart, completely brutalized, & that makes for their fight scenes to be a highlight of the series, I think. Not to mention the humor that goes along with it, be it how the species behaves or the turtles' reaction to them. & of course, Kraang Sub-Prime is a real gas, to top it all off. Thoroughly entertaining. I'm eager to see what comes next for them.

I'm indifferent overall, the show overused them in the first two seasons so I prefer the spaced out appearances they have now. Then again they're never really gone for long because every couple of episodes they're brought back.

I like where I think they're going...if that's where we end up, then cool.

Some of the best Kraang episodes usually don't happen in a row and are often spread out. I didn't mind them last week but hopefully we don't see them again until they return to earth.

I like the Kraang. I like Sub-prime. But I can't help but get the feeling that the humour of the regular Kraang has suffered since Sub-Prime started dominating every Kraang appearance. It almost feels like the writers realised they had written themselves into a hole with their mannerisms and singular personality and created Sub-Prime so that they could give those episodes a less unique but easier to write way of making them funny.

The Kraang (along with the Kraang humor) are my favorite part of the Nick series. I like when when the show goes more with comedy than with drama/seriousness, I think they just do comedy better. Plus, I've already got the 4Kids series if I want to watch a serious TMNT series.

I miss Kraang though I never missed Timothy (ha!).

Imagine if Kraang has silly banters with Shredder like in OT but with all seriousness of 2k12 setting.

I feel like the Kraang have kinda hit the end of the road in a way. We saw them wiped out in less than half an episode by a larger threat. A threat stops feeling like a threat when they've been wiped out by a larger threat. It's like how Bradford and Xever stopped feeling like threats because we met Tigerclaw, Zeck, Steranko, etc. I've lost interest in them, I don't feel like there's much more to do with them unless maybe they call in an army of Dracodroids or something for their next invasion, then they'd feel like a threat again. But it'd probably feel like cheap escalation. Considering how quickly this show wraps up some of its' plots, the Dracodroids would be wiped out very quickly, I'm sure.

No, we have had 3 seasons in which the Kraang had major roles, I'm tired of them.

After 3 whole seasons of them being the large threat, they kinda need to retire. Now that we know their origin and the turtles are in space, I'm kinda finished with them.

Eh, not yet. I don't dislike the Kraang stuff, but I look forward to seeing more of a different angle in terms of more of the opposing side and/or backstory on them and the Utroms.
