So does "The Kraang" prevent the "real" Krang from showing up? - Page 3

*Cowabunga Carl* · 09-29-2011, 09:27 AM

Maybe I'm wrong for thinking this but I don't want to see the same thing over and over. If I'm in the mood for one version that is what I read/watch. I enjoy that each version is so different but at the same time keeps true to the characters. I really don't want the Nick version of Krang to be a little alien brain that was taken out of his body and exiled. This hive mind thing sounds kind of cool.

Now that the show has come out, I honestly think "Krang" will show up sometime later on, as one of the leaders of "The Kraang."

My guess is Krang is still in Dimension X at the moment which is why we don't see him yet. He'll of course talk normally unlike the Kraang.

God I hope I am right and Krang shows up.

- No confirmation of Bebop/Rocksteady
- Baxter is confirmed black, and he seems similar to Mirage/4kids Baxter

About the only old toon element they kept is Splinter actually is Hamato Yoshi again.

what about Splinter BEING Yoshi? and Saki's nemesis?

I don't think it's so much as 'prevent the real Krang from being in the show' so much as they just didn't wanna use him. Although the Kraang are basically just evil Utroms... and it sounds so weird having evil Utroms running around calling themselves the Kraang. Sure, Krang was based on the Utroms but he was still a talking brain with his own name. He wasn't called Utrom-o or whatever.

Kinda weird now that you think about it. The Utroms were good, but we got a characters based on them being evil named Krang. Now in this show we have evil Utroms calling themselves The Kraang. I guess Utroms are just cooler when they're evil.

*CyberCubed* · 10-07-2012, 12:06 AM

That's because other than Ch'rell, the Utroms are always shown as being good and are practically saints.

*miru* · 10-07-2012, 05:08 PM

Maybe we'll get Ch'rell instead of Krang?

That brings up a good point. Does the new show lend itself to having an appearance by the Utroms? The 2k3 design is a bit different than the Kraang design. So it is possible to have two similar alien races in the show.

Bringing in an identical looking species that does the exact same things but has a different name would be so goddamn stupid.

It could actually work if the Utroms are shown as a counter to the Kraang...or if the Kraang themselves are mutated Utroms.

I've thought about the possibility of the Utroms showing up myself as the, "good guys," and the Turtles mistaking them for Kraang and attacking them.

*The Stryker* · 10-07-2012, 10:50 PM

I think people need to come to the realization that Krang and The Utroms have been merged into one thing.

It could go either way. Just like "The" Krang himself showing up, as in the actual character, is a possibility.

*The Stryker* · 10-07-2012, 10:56 PM

Anything is a damn possibility with that criteria.

Maybe Raph will explode into 10 smaller turtles all voiced by Don Cheadle! It could happen! It would be completely stupid but......hey!

I literally laughed out loud at this

The only possible outcome I see is this is general krang's "Army". see what I did there? I borrowed from another universe, one parallel rather than over two decades old. This still opens up even more possibilities. To speculate where they're taking this story only three episodes in leaves far too many options to even list

Azrael Macool · 10-08-2012, 04:42 AM

To be fair, they could probably bring in a different faction of the Kraang, possibly called Utroms, who are good guys. I would not be adverse to that, but then again, we're 3 episodes in. Who knows where they're going with this.

**Jester** · 10-08-2012, 04:52 AM

I could see a Romulan/Vulcan explanation working for thew Kraang/Utroms...but it seems unnecessary.
