Did you like Krang's retcon?

That is a tricky part (and I kind of wish they reused the 80s Krang model for more background Kraang after the fact), but there are worse explanations, esp. since "Trans-Dimensional Turtles" does state that '80s Krang (or a counterpart of '80s Krang) is a Nick Utrom.

Who's to say that the 80s Dimension X and Nick Dimension X aren't different parts of the same universe. There could be two different versions of Tragg and Granitor, just like many of us in real life share the same names.

I do agree that there some inconsistencies, but that is part and parcel with the 80s show, and the show in question already retconned the "Krang is a disembodied brain" idea. (Also, the brain explanation never made much sense; Krang's "brain" and eyes, a mouth, arm appendages, and could survive outside a body. If he were a real brain, he wouldn't have those things.)

Honestly, he seemed pretty well in character, from what I've seen of the '80s show.

He never regarded the Turtles as major enemies, just beings that annoyed him. This is something the Shredder would do, but even that would be stretching it. The only Shredder I know that would do that is Chrell, as he actually attempted to do that.

Hmm.
