Because of course, calling Krang an Utrom would have made any difference?

Who cares.

Have you even seen what a brain looks like?

The writers who created Krang (based on the utrom design) made him a brain because of pure ignorance. They didn't read the comic books, and they probably never looked in an anatomy book. So they just assumed "Hmm... little round fella with beady eyes, toothy mouth, tentacle arms and stubby little feet-like things. It must be a brain, because that's what brains look like, right?".
This is what happens when gradeschool drop-outs become writers.
This is the funniest thing I've read all morning.

You got something to say, smartass?
I say one f***ing comment about Krang's design, and everyone decides to piss on me for it. What a stupid fandom this is one someone isn't allowed to critisize anything.

Stop proving your immaturity. Resorting to name calling shows you have run out of ideas. I'm all for constructive critisicm but if you decide to go that route, you should argue facts and not speculation.

And grade-school dropouts... really?... Really? cmon

Immaturity? Hardly. I'm just upset. And with good reason too. So back off.

Obviously the alien race that Krang was from had a different brain than us measly humans. It could talk and grow tentacles and everything.

It wasn't his brain per say but actually his head.

It was admittedly his brain which acted as his head. In "INVASION OF THE KRANGAZOIDS", his clones just grew bodies with exoskeletons, suggesting their race is evolved from insects. But, yeah. His 'brain' obviously involves jaws, eye-sockets and muscle, like a skinless octopus.

I was gonna say something snarky about this thread, but then I realized it's a refreshing change from all the "WAH TMNT OVER" threads.

ALSO calling the writers of the original series drop outs just because you didn't like Krang's design is indeed immature.

I don't understand why the 2012 tmnt show decided to make Bishop into an utrom.

It does kind of make me wonder. Was it always planned for Bishop to be an utrom in the Nick series? Or did someone midway through the series run realize that the Kraang robots bore a strong resemblance to Bishop in the 4Kids series, so they just rolled with it.
