Old show rip-off on The Simpsons.

~~Jarrah White~~ · 11-27-2003, 06:55 PM

I was watching Treehouse of Horrors earlier and I just realised something, Kang (You know Kang and Kodos) must be a rip-off of Krang, their both aliens and their names are only one letter different from each other. Kang and Kodos first appeared shortly after the original TMNT series began so it's possibly. What do you think?

I'm starting to think you have far too much time on your hands. And you think even more than I do.

totally agreed, i was actually beginning to think you calmed down a bit, but i guess we have to deal with this frustration ALL over again...

No offense, JW, but i think you make a little too much topics.

Is everything a rip off of something else to you?

Splinter · 11-27-2003, 08:55 PM

Kang and Kodos are actually homages to classic 50's Sci-fi movies. By the way, just cause something is similar it doesn't make it a rip-off.

Speaking of homages, Fly Baxter from 80s toon has to be a homage to The Fly, right?

PS am I the only one who thinks Jarrah starts way too many new threads?

Dude, I swear, you're the biggest conspiracy theorist I ever met... and that's not a compliment...

*The Stryker* · 11-28-2003, 02:55 AM

Kang and Kodos' design is actually a homage to old horror comics

and the names are original as well

i listen to commentaries too much....

*Bowser_Koopa* · 11-28-2003, 09:42 AM

i'm starting to think of jarrah as a topic factory

, and it seems to me that you always ignore it when someone tell you that

**Nturtle** · 11-28-2003, 10:17 AM

Seriously dude, thats a stretch.

I always thought they were an homage to Orson Welles' "War of the Worlds" since the aliens there are described exactly like Kang and Kodos look like!

Not entirely:

In the original Star Trek series episode "Day of the Dove", there's a Klingon named Kang...sorry to burst your bubble.

I don't think Kang is a rip-off of Krang, but I DO notice the resemblance

I'll agree with that, and you do post a lot of topics.
