Was there any official explanation why Nick added an extra "a" in "Kraang?" - Page 2

Irishmile · 01-22-2013, 06:06 PM

I bet they just thought it made them seem more B-Movie scifi horror with that spelling... There seems to be a lot of nods to those genres.. but who really knows?

jestermon · 01-22-2013, 06:25 PM

Man some people on here, it's a valid question to the poster obviously.

I would think just to make it unique or because something else used Krang for something else.

**Jester** · 01-22-2013, 06:33 PM

Yes, but the OP is Cybercubed, to whom ANYTHING seems like a valid question.

jestermon · 01-22-2013, 06:40 PM

Should someone make a thread to see if his questions are indeed valid?

It could be a stickied poll ha.

Because I can't see Utroms as villains, they were never portrayed as such. I appreciate Nick for switching the names.

Green Machine · 01-22-2013, 07:41 PM

I assumed it was a copyright issue and they couldn't legally use Krang. Obviously it's just a guess.

Im more interested in theories on the Blue shelled Kraang.

It seems like its just needed to fill out the skin of the "infiltrator" Kraang...

Spoiler:

But then why are they often seen just walking around with just the blue shell?

Spoiler:

you would think they would just get skinned right away if that is its purpose... unless its also some sort of armor as well.

maybe cause they either just got out of their human disguises, or are getting ready to put on the human disguises.

I think the blue-tinted androids is just for a bit more variety during the action shots, nothing important story wise though.

*Zulithe* · 01-23-2013, 02:47 AM

the blue stuff on the kraang is probably a biomaterial layer that goes over their robotic skeleton to give them more of a human shape. then the skin is applied on top of that. I don't think they are special in any way other than that.

Was there any official explanation why Fred Wolf Productions spelled "Krang" with only one "a"?

I always thought it was just to make it look more "alien".. I tend to pronounce it "Kray-ang" because of this spelling.

*Icebot* · 01-24-2013, 01:38 PM

When I first saw how Kraang was spelled, I thought the name was supposed to be pronounced "Kroung" (it rhymes with wrong). Then I heard the name Kraang (pronounced Krang) when I saw the show.

I swear, you make the most pointless threads.

But you've got to admit, this thread is entertaining

I like others think there will be a krang (kinda like the king Kraang)!

*zkarlette* · 01-24-2013, 10:42 PM

They already said that there will be a Kraang Prime so I guess that's probably it.
