Are you happy with how much focus the Kraang's have been getting?

Two finals focused on Kraang

Ehh.. in between, it's ok. As a major foe I suppose it's better for a continuing storyline than stagnating on just Shredder as a single main villain or going overboard on too many short lived minor bad guys. If the finale is mostly Krang again (I haven't looked at any trailers or anything for it), it would be nice if it focused on Shredder and his gang instead. Kind of helps that the next season seems to be starting immediately after it though, so no waiting around if they throw in any cliffhangers at all and can just move on with it.

I don't see the issue with a finale involving the two main villains...

The krang episodes are generally not exciting to me and feel like filler. I'm not crazy about the krang speech pattern I mean Nolan north voices them he's a phenomenal voice actor and he's being wasted. I would have loved him back as raphael.

I'm cool with it, the Kraang are still mildly entertaining to me at the moment. I'd love to see some different villains get the spotlight though.

I find the Foot more interesting, honestly. I think my lack of interest in the Kraang story has to do with it being used way too much.

I agree. I'm not a big fan of Sean Astin voicing Raph, and think there are other better voice actors for Raph, especially Nolan North.

As for the question. I was never a fan of Krang at all, the utrons, none of it. I would rather they get scrapped now and the Triceratons come in. I find them more exciting.

No, I want them to be gone for good.
They're like those jokes which ones were never good, not even at the beginning, and yet they got repeated again and again.
Their story is just boring, I don't care about Krang Prime, alien April and his father, and hell not care about April derp.
Nick has a pretty good Shredder, better then Goofball Shreadhead and "I'm evil cuz I'm evil" Ch'rell. So instead of doing the boring Kraang storyline, why not focusing on him?

As much as I think there are a bit too many episodes focused on them, I'd rather them than just focusing on the Shredder again.

I'm not broken up about it, I just prefer Shredder episodes more. Probably just a matter of personal preference; I like the more "individual" type threats as opposed to global domination. *shrugs*

I kind of like how season 2 focused a lot more on the Foot rather than the Kraang, and when you saw the Kraang it wasn't too dreadful.

I find the Foot WAY more interesting, especially Shredder. He's a bit underdeveloped in my opinion, and needs more episodes like VIM or Kuro Kabuto.

Same. They just use the global domination too much. Personally, I wanna see more of Shredder himself fighting the Turtles.

It just sounds very like astins normal voice I mean North is a fantastic V A I would have loved to see him have another shot at Raph.

The triceratons would be interesting, the krang have been around for 2 seasons and kind of done nothing of note, I do like however that the mutant count is rising.

That could actually save the dead boring Kraang storyline. I mean a Kraang / Triceraton war. That would be epic, instead of listening to them speaking in hive-language for whole episodes.

I voted 'no', only because I think the Kraang / mutagen thing is getting a bit repetitive and it feels like some big story opportunities are being missed. There are so many options available to the writers and they seem to be stuck on one element which in my opinion has now bled all interest dry. As I've said before, I loved the Kraang for, like, one episode and that was for the connection to the utrom and OT Krang. After that it was pretty 'meh' for me.

I think the fact that the threat the Kraang pose is a global one feels a bit too big for the turtles to keep on being the only ones involved. Surely high-level government agencies would have cottoned on by now??? I just don't really believe in the plot. Somehow local threats - NYC based - feel more palatable for the TMNT premise.

I would love to see a story arc which pushes the turtles to their very limits and tests them all physically and mentally. They are such strong characters I would love to see how they respond. The City at War arc achieved a really good balance of the foot, the street thugs and the mob as well as an internal fracture of the turtles' relationships. I would be much more interested in seeing how Nick would tackle such a situation than in seeing yet another mutant created by the Kraang and more global threats.
