Why wasnt Krang in the Movie? - Page 2

*Tetsu Deinonychus* · 07-31-2004, 12:07 AM

Maybe, but no Utroms were in the first movie, and April's reporter job from the cartoon was used because otherwise they'd have to work Baxter and the Mousers into the movie.

When i first saw the 1st Turtle's movie, i was dissapointed that there was no Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady, and i could'nt understand why as i didn't know about the comics.

I thought rather avidly and excitedly, that if a second movie came along, Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady would be the bad guys. Ithought that Shredder getting squashed in the crusher was suppoesed to make way for the other 3 in the second way.

Then, at one point, i thought, yeah, maybe it's one major villain at a time, so they can make more movies, that would create more money at the cinema's. So i thought it was gonna be Bebop and Rocksteady in the second one ( as they're inseparable) and Krang and the Technodrome in the third one.

But no, instead of Bebop and Rocksteady, they invent 2 new mutants Tokka and Rahzar which struck me as strange.

The 1st was referring back to the comics as it was only Shredder and the Foot who were allies, and that's why the movie was much more darker than the cartoon.

The third movie was so under-whelming though, that they should've broke with the comics thing and brought in Krang and the Technodrome which would've been an explosive sequel.

On the other hand, can you imagine how big the budget would have to be, for Krang and the giant Technodrome, trying to conquer the whole world?

He should have been in the movie. It would have been interesting to see him either way either as a detailed animatronic puppet or completely computer generated.

I thought it would have been better to include Krang in the third movie. In another thread I stated that TMNT 3 could've been great if Krang was in it. Instead of the Feudal Japan timeslip, Krang could have invaded Earth, resurrected Shredder from the pier, and created two new mutant animals: Bebop and Rocksteady. Prof. Perry would be revealed to be an Utrom and help the turtles capture Krang, who would be revealed as a renegade Utrom.
And Casey would come back too, to make up for his unnecessary absence in TMNT 2.

Anyway, that's just my opinion.

I really hate TMNT 3, I was really expecting to see Krang or Bebop and Rocksteady. Back then the Turtles were pouplar cause of the Toon,we can't deny that, so whay not make a third movie based more on the toon than in the comic?!

I also wanted to see Shredder coming back in the third movie which I didn't see.

I don't think Krang would have been a difficult thing to animate back then,maybe Bebop or Rocksteady but not Krang he is a small pink brain thing.LOL Not too over the budget IMO.

I agree. Krang is so small compared to the other characters, the animatronics/puppetry would have been a breeze compared to the turtles and the other mutant characters.

To this day I'll never understand why they did it the way they did. It would have been much more fun if it had Krang, Bebop and Rocksteady. That's the audience they were going for first, is it not? The ones brought up on the old Toon?

I wanted to see the Technodrome, maybe an underground module, and I totally wanted to see Shredder more the way he was in the toon, which would only be possible with Krang in the picture.

Hmph.

*KROW* · 08-03-2004, 05:52 PM

Really. Oy gavalt.

And BTW, that avatar of yours is friggin' creepy.

*Spitfire* · 08-03-2004, 06:26 PM

Blah the 3rd movie was awful. the only person who could pull off Krang would be Jim henson.....

Mike Bock · 08-04-2004, 02:01 AM

The third movie was awful indeed,it needed some mutants and Shredder !!

I was sooo dissapointed when I saw this movie back then.

Bug-Eyed Earl · 08-04-2004, 11:43 PM

The whole reason that Krang and the rest aren't used in th enew series is because of rights issues; I wonder if the mvie only had the rights to adapt a comic. Now, April being a reporter, the colored masks, the love for pizza, etc- those came from the cartoon. but those are concepts, not actual characters. They were probably put there to give the kids who watched some familiarity.

So it's simply possible they only had the rights to the Mirage comics. Notice that April's boss was different than the boss in the cartoon? That might be one sign.

Mike Bock · 08-04-2004, 11:56 PM

Who has the rights for the classic characters from the toon this days?

It does'nt matter if it's because of rights or not, what the original cartoon series fascists can't seem to comprehend is that Laird DOES...NOT...GIVE...ONE...FLIPPING...TOSS ABOUT KRANG, ROCKSTEADY, BEBOP, THE TECHNODROME etc

They were never part of HIS story arc, the movie was created to follow the MIRAGE comics specifically, that's why it remains Pete's favourate film, that's why it stuck two fingers up at the audience that knew nothing about the comics.

The movie was for the fans of the comic, nothing more, nothing less, the new cartoon is a new re-telling of the comics for not only fans of the comics, but new fans as well, it will never feature any original series concepts outside of in-joke references.
