Why are the Kraang getting more focus than the Foot Clan?

*CyberCubed* · 10-06-2012, 10:31 AM

Does anyone feel as if the Kraang aliens are more important than the Foot in this series? We're 3 episodes in and the Foot have been little more than background noise as Kraang and the mutants take the spotlight.

*TurtleTitan97* · 10-06-2012, 10:33 AM

The people working on the show did say mutation was going to be playing a big role in this series, so it makes sense that the Kraang are getting a bit more spotlight. But at least next week will feature the debut of the Foot.

Like Titan said, mutation plays a big part in the show. Also, it may actually be a build up for the Foot clans unveiling! It makes them seem more threatening that way.

I think it is cool that we are learning more about the Kraang. I like the Kraang mutagen factory we saw today in episode 3.

I do like the Foot better though. Next week's episode 4 looks to be a Foot and Shredder episode, so that's good. Shredder's first meeting with the turtles might be considered even more important if they kind of delay it. I look forward to finding out about a connection between the Kraang and the Foot. I assume there is one.

I'll bet you posted this exact same topic several years back when the third 4Kids ep aired.

God, just wait. We'll get to the Foot Clan. Good storytelling means you don't throw everything at the reader/audience at once.

*BubblyShell22* · 10-06-2012, 11:32 AM

Give it time, Cubed. The Foot will show up. Actually, I'm glad the Foot aren't the main focus of the show right now. It gives the writers time to build up to them by having us focus on something else.

*Slade* · 10-06-2012, 11:46 AM

We'll probably end up seeing Kraang and the Foot fighting the turtles at the same time a lot. So, it's all good right now.

*plastroncafe* · 10-06-2012, 12:05 PM

Quite possibly because they haven't been introduced fully yet?

*DonatelloFan* · 10-06-2012, 12:20 PM

Because of what happened in the first episode. The Turtles don't know who the hell the Foot is. It's just two episodes in, and the preview shows that next week Shredder and the Foot show up. Be patient.

*Powder* · 10-06-2012, 12:27 PM

This is just to build up Shredder & the clan. They've always been rushed right in, this time we get peeks along the way leading up to a big epic reveal. You ought to know better, Cubed.

Genesis · 10-06-2012, 01:38 PM

Dude. It's called suspense. The Kraang are the initial enemy; the Shredder will surely be their most dangerous. If they were given full spotlight right from the start, it probably wouldn't do appropriate justice to the menace of the Clan. Time will tell, either way.

no they werent...actually their appearance in the 4kids show was done fairly well in my oppinion!...we got to see tiny scenes each episode about 'this' oroku saki and his operation and then in episode 11 or 15 or so we get a two parter entering the shredder..and then not far away we get another two parter..I thin that is solved so very well there it is still astounding to me when I rewatch it...

*Powder* · 10-06-2012, 03:08 PM

The foot were in the first episode of every series to date short of the new one. To lesser extents in some, but still.

alliance · 10-06-2012, 03:13 PM

There just building a story, more episodes later we'll have more direction..

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 10-06-2012, 07:10 PM

Other Mutants are getting worse.

*Mirage Comics originally didn't have so many mutants

*The 1987 show and Archie gaves us some more. We were given mostly cool characters, with own identity, soul and it acutally appealed to the kids (and sold action figures). Mondo Gecko, Punk Frogs are to be remembered.

*Criticism of that came with the 2003 show, "-Back to the Mirage Roots", but soon the show gave us genetic monsters. Nothing compared to the old show.

*2012 show starts good, but I can't stand characters like Snake and Vic. They remind more of video game bosses in Super Mario...

*Donatello19* · 10-06-2012, 07:58 PM

All the other TMNT incarnations start with the foot or mousers, so I think this is different, better, and more interesting. Besides, the foot will be here eventually.

TMNT_Guy · 10-06-2012, 09:36 PM

You...did watch the preview for the next episode that aired RIGHT at the end of "Turtle Temper", right? It showed that the Foot are in next week's episode...heck, the synopsis (that can easily be found online) for the next episode mentions the Foot. I don't mean to be rude, but you honestly caused me to do a real life facepalm.

I don't expect anyone to pull out an encyclopedia, but please do a quick one minute Google search before making a new topic. The Shredder is coming soon, don't worry.

*CyberCubed* · 10-06-2012, 09:52 PM

I didn't see the preview because I watched the ep on Nick's website, and that didn't include the preview.
