Talkback: Laird's 2k3 development notes!

ChromeDome · 07-23-2012, 09:32 AM

From what I can remember Krang only refers to Shredder as Saki in the first season of the 1987 series, afterwards he calls him Shredder. Although I maybe mistaken.

I know that in Turtle Tracks, Krang asks for Shredder to come and see him and calls him Saki, but Shredder insists that Krang call him Shredder.

Why do they keep calling the Fred Wolf show and the characters from it 88, when the show premiered in 87?

TMNT4Kids that used to post here did give a reason though for the life of me I can't remember what it was.

88' just rolls off the tongue easier I guess.

It premiered in like, December, so it might as well have been 1988, I guess. Plus, the point of the cartoon was to market the toys, which didn't appear until '88, so it makes sense, either way.

Laird's now posting emails from early on in the deployment. I guess this pretty much proves that Utrom Shredder was planed early on.

So PL called Krang a, "bastardization of the old Utrom concept."

Its amazing how the guy didn't like how much Fred Wolf changed the characters from the comics, yet he goes ahead and gives the approval to turn Shredder into an Utrom right away.

It really doesn't make any sense. Its like if he doesn't have a direct hand in the changes, he seems to dislike them.
