Why are the Kraang getting more focus than the Foot Clan? - Page 2

*CyberCubed* · 10-06-2012, 11:28 PM

I really hope we see the Foot take center stage. From the sounds of the first 11 episode titles, there are more Kraang episodes than Foot Clan episodes.

The Metalhead episode, the one where the Kraang try to set off a mutagen bomb in NYC, etc.

I like how the Shredder plot is built up for some early episodes. I also hope Kraang. Shredder/Foot, Baxter Stockman, Rat King (if he appears) and Purple Dragons all will be different sides.

I mentioned this before in a similar thread. I think it'd be cool if instead of having one Kraang dominate all the others they should be lead by General Traag. It'd be like a total reversal of what they did in the OT!

And should General Traag be a Stone Warrior?

*AT-Man* · 10-07-2012, 02:27 PM

The Kraang should NOT have a leader or anyone even slightly different than the rest. I love The Kraang the way it is now. And I hope the actual aliens won't be speaking in human language, but only through their robot bodies. I'd like to see a confrontation between the Kraang and the Foot sometime, more than them teaming up.

If/when they introduce Casey Jones and if he also falls for April, that's a great opportunity to re-enact the Donatello/Casey insult battle from the first movie.

I saw concept art of Traag on the Facebook page from Comic Con. He's 20 feet tall!

He'd basically be the only Stone Warrior in this universe, same as Krang was the only alien brain in the original cartoon.

How do we know that? They didn't mention anything about Rock Soldiers one way or the other.

This same question has been answered with IDW. I find it more interesting to give the franchises "B supervillain" a chance to build their focus for the "A supervillain", Shredder and the Foot. Also, the arrival of Dogpound and Fishface should bring more focus to Shredder/Foot, since they are going to be his hench mutants like Bebop/Rocksteady and Tokka/Rahzar were. I also find Kraang more inductive of causing mutations since they are based with TCRI.

Because it's a new story with a new beginning. Brace for character and story development, it's what good programming does.

*CyberCubed* · 10-28-2012, 07:29 PM

The Foot Clan have a very rare presence in this show so far.

Kids watching this version of TMNT for the first time might assume the Kraang are the main villains instead of Shredder/Foot.

Kevin G · 10-28-2012, 07:35 PM

Just out of curiosity, how come it says Tweenage Alien Ninja Turtles in the drawing of Traag ?

Hmmm, maybe because the turtles act more like tweens in the new show and because of the whole Michael Bay thing?

Oh okay. I was just wondering if whoever drew Traag was joking around.

well, statistically speaking, so far, they are the main villains. in 6 episodes we've had only 1 dealing with the foot. this is a new show and they're handling things a bit differently than in the past, going in a slightly different direction. obviously, it hasn't sucked yet, so just go with the flow. plus, after next ep,

Spoiler:

almost EVERY OTHER incarnation of this franchise has shoved the rivalry between the turtles and the foot down our throats. that's def not a bad thing, but this is a nice change of pace. let it breathe, homie. the foot'll be back eventually.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-29-2012, 07:27 AM

I think the Foot will show up again in "Never Say Xever" and definitely in "Enter Shredder." Just be patient. I love the build-up myself.
