Is anyone else tired of the Kraang

Kraang invades Earth in the season 1 finale. Kraang invades Earth in the season 2 finale. I think I get the point.

They were cool villains in season 1, but give it a rest already.

I thought for sure that
Spoiler:
Kraang Prime was fried with all that electricity from the Turtle Mech, but no it didn't happen. Also, ruining Irma's character sucked a lot, I liked Irma, she was cool.

Yeah I'm getting quite tired of them myself.

Yeah, I say, let the Triceratons come and wipe them out, and let them be the invaders for a while!

I thought I was the only one tired of the Kraang. I'm glad I'm not.

I liked the Utroms in the 2k3 series. They made some of the stories more interesting and were good allies to the turtles. The Kraang have become irritating. Here's hoping Agent Bishop is in season 3, and uses some sort of super weapon to destroy the Kraang (except for one, I would like to keep one and for him to mutate into a character similar to the 1980's cartoon character).

Yes and no.

I'm annoyed with "goofy" Kraang.

Badass, serious, actually being able to take over the planet Kraang; I can't get enough of that.

I used to like them, but only for the way they speak (which I thought was quite funny, actually). But having two season finales that both revolve around the them trying to invade the planet? Yeah. A bit much. I loved seeing Dimension X, but that was because there were more bizarre life-forms than Kraang droids. So Dimension X, I don't mind. I also like seeing their mutation experiments (i.e. Justin, Aprilderp) more than the Kraang themselves.

I think there might be one more story arc involving them (not immediately, but most likely in the middle of season 3); and then they'll be forgotten. Here's hoping.

I'm just wondering. THe Kraang coming in finally and really invading like this. Wasn't that how the comics were near the end, aliens invaded Earth and kind of became permanent immigrants, and then citizens, and were allowed to walk around in the open, and in essence, the Turtles could do the same. I wonder if the creators are trying to go for that, where the Turtles can now walk out in the open and be more sociable.

Ciro said something in the interview he had with Andre the Black Nerd that they would be beginning to wrap up the Kraang plot and focus more on Shredder.

The Kraang story being wrapped up, and a focus on Shredder and the Foot? All I can say is:

I agree with Warhorse, the Tricaeratons should be the new alien invader villains.

Not quite, but might not be long before I am. Nice to see the story with them move a leap forward so hopefully it will wrap up at some point.

I'm extremely tired of them; yes. They're basically one-joke villains, especially given their near lack of individual personalities, their equally homogeneous color scheme is making fights look dull, and worse still, they've become Deus ex machina fuel. Need a new toy? Put in a plot about Kraang mutagen. Need to give the Foot or the Turtles some new techology? Have them get some from the Kraang. Need an alien-related origin story for weird things? Make it the Kraang, instead of creating other aliens. It ties back to what I said about the obnoxious trend of TMNT plots lately; universes look small when they do that.

I fear that since mutagen/mutants are such a major part of the Nick series, we'll be stuck with the Kraang for the entire run of the show. I hope not, but its looking that way.

Eh, he could be lying. Won't be the first time, "*cough* about the Karai demanding to know if Splinter is her father storyboards,*cough*".

so excited that bishop is guaranteed to show up but him ending end mutated would so blow it, got a lot of mutant characters already, need more human type characters in the show, not to mention, bishop is wicked as he is

I really think that there needs to be a revelation about the kraang or I don't know, something thats not the same thing over and over again.

Either introduce aliens factions or make them grey and morally complex but since I know from experience that ciro doesn't do grey and morally complex then give us the damn neutrinos already!

Well, we don't know for absolute sure that Bishop will be in this. They might make a likeness of him, or hell, maybe even make a female version of him to throw us speculators off. But, I know what you mean. I'm thinking, if there is a Bishop, maybe he's the source behind Kurtzman, and he's been trying to find April himself this whole time.

I thought about it for a while, and no, I don't think I'm getting tired of these guys. If they stay around for the remainder of the show, cool with me. I like their tech, and I like their mutagen. Although I'd love to see more of a focus on Shredder. Can't wait for that.
