Crognard The Barbarian

kelligrafie · 10-04-2014, 09:55 AM

1. Do we think the slug people are a foreshadow for Napoleon Bonafrog and his froggy crew? Where they seem friendly but the lead frog seems to have an ulterior motive in this picture. LINK

2. There seems to be too few lead characters in Crognard. Previously there has usually been a character for character ratio, so there were four ship crew members in Space Heroes, one for each turtle. Then in the Robomecha style series, there were five characters to represent the turtles and April.

In Crognard, there's only four when surely there should be at least six (turtles, April and Casey)?

So who do these four represent?

Crognard seems more like Casey than Leo.
April is most likely the princess/superwoman.
I think Raphael is the muscle.
Not sure if the ghoul is Donnie or Mikey.

I would've thought they (non-human mutant turtles) would've been turn off how they suddenly start beating on the slug people.

I friggen love the Thundarr/Thundercats references.
I'm assuming they'll meet something like the Herculoids and beef up their cast a bit.

*snake* · 10-04-2014, 12:36 PM

I love the new show. Its possible more cast members will be introduced or that the new show won't reflect the turtles lives.

*drgon78* · 10-04-2014, 01:09 PM

I love this new show but then again I loved the other two as well.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-04-2014, 04:49 PM

I also love this new show and can't wait to see more of it for sure.

*victory_angel* · 10-04-2014, 05:04 PM

I didn't get much foreshadowing with this new cartoon. I suppose it could be foreshadowing to the punk frogs. But to me the Slug people felt more like a play off the smurfs as the elder of the group did have a papa smurf-esk beard.

And while the sorceress character did say she sensed danger from the Slug People they were approaching. There wasn't any real danger presented so Crognard and his companions were simply beating them up for no reason other then the fact they were slug people.

Perhaps the Turtles are stepping away from the in series show being a parallel to whats going on.

I guess you guys will have to explain to me the in parrallel to the show with the cartoons they watch. I've never noticed. Possibly because I don't pay much attention to the little shows they watch. For the most part, I find them a waste of screen time.

*Powder* · 10-04-2014, 05:49 PM

I don't think any of the characters serve to represent the turtles. It's pretty clear they're nothing alike. This one, unlike the past two, is merely a cartoon.

Thank **** for that!

*drgon78* · 10-05-2014, 06:36 PM

If the star trek wannabe show was Leo's favorite, this one is Mikey's favorite, and wasn't the Voltron one Donnie's. Then does that mean the next show will be Raph's favorite? If so what do you think the show will be?

It featured animated adventures of popular WWF stars from the time, including its title character Hulk Hogan and his group of wrestlers fighting against a group of rogue wrestlers led by Roddy Piper.[2] The show followed cartoon archetypes concerning good characters triumphing over evil-doers in wacky situations, typical of children's cartoons in the 1980s.

Maybe the A-team or Starsky and Hutch?

But they never said that was Donnie's favorite show, they just indicated that Dr. Blip had an unrequited crush on the princess which was suggested to resemble Donnie's unrequited crush on April. And it was the other guys enjoying the show more then Donnie.

James Avery voiced the Junkyard Dog on there. I was watching it a few years ago since I never saw it as a kid and caught it. lol. OMG!!! A Piper imitation would be great! If they do make a show based on that, I hope there's a Piper like character with the villains. I loved his insanity in general and Wrestlemania VI is one if my favs because of him. Gotta love 80s WWF...

That would be perfect for Raph! Ciro make this happen!

You know, I couldn't see these fully working, unless they do the Mr. T cartoon (loved it as a kid). Seems so far they are spoofing actual animated series. There isn't one for the A-Team or Starsky & Hutch, but there is an A-Team comic.

*Luckyday* · 10-05-2014, 07:47 PM

Well not everything has to be directly reference from animated television show.
Although that gives me a idea for them do G.I cartoon. OH MY GOD, I want to see this happen in TMNT!

True, but replicating the art styles of those shows is interesting.

That aside, if they did do GI Joe, I might watch this time around. lol. As a kid I didn't care for it much.

*IndigoErth* · 10-05-2014, 08:15 PM

Some good ideas for an in-show spin off. Could see them doing something like those, or a mix of them, for something that isn't sci-fi.
