    I was fascinated by Krang when I was a little kid. He was my favorite character form the show. I have a Krang hoodie, and everyone always thinks it's Meatwad. Still, I love it.

    My idea based on the retcon in 2012 was that krang was a cousin to kraang sub-prime who, following his banishment, decided to conquer the cartoon universe for his own and to prove his worth, he gave berserko the designs for the technodrome and his reptilian form was a result of a test with the mutagen

    I haven't seen all of 2012, but I like the idea of Krang being like Ch'rell personally. I really like the 2003 take on the Utroms as generally more neutral or good I always found that more interesting but I like Shredder/Krang dynamic. All of them being "evil" I think takes away from Krang the character being a unique being for me.

    Krang's been treated so disrespectful by the 2012 series. When he first appeared in the classic -87, he was a formidable adversary to love. After that, the screen writer's have just botched it more and more.

    The retcon of Krang being cousin to Subprime and exiled by him on Earth while removing his android body (not a reptilian one like in the original series) is probably valid only for the Krang that we see in the 2012 series...which is probably just an alternate version of the 1987 one and not the same one. Because in the 1987 series, Krang calls himself "supreme leader of Dimension X", and "supreme" means he was the only ruler of the whole Dimension X and there was no room for other rulers like Kraang Prime and Subprime. Also even as a brain, he's actually physically different from Subprime, so he can't be of the same race of a Kraang. Subprime probably said "cousin" not in the sense of family, but in the sense of a different race with some similarities, sort of like us humans in real life can call a monkey our "cousin", even if the monkey is a completely different race actually despite our similarities.

  • @srstriker6420
    @srstriker6420 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    Wow I didn’t know about that old black and white movie that he was based because we thought he was influenced by the Utroms, so it’s just like the original Thundercats cartoon where the mutants were in the first episode and while Mumm-Ra appears in the second episode.
    So as the Armageddon game is finished I guess we can talk about the IDW Rat king as well as the 1987 version, remember that theory that I suggested?

    • @TheTurtleNexus
      @TheTurtleNexus  ปีที่แล้ว

      I'll talk about the cartoon Rat King, and I will need to update the Mirage Rat King as well. So far, your theory is not proving possible, especially with how the 87 universe is being extended.
      So if you have a fact that you can provide, then I'll be happy to investigate it.

    • @srstriker6420
      @srstriker6420 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@TheTurtleNexus well the theory is that the man who would become the Rat king was maybe a flute player in college until the draft came which ether he tried to avoid it or maybe went willingly to the army which maybe is where he learned to fight very well on his own against 4 ninjas and is able to use fire arms pretty well, he is also able to drive a truck which is very hard to drive and you need a different class license, so during his time in Vietnam he had ptsd which made him think he was a rat which could explain the tape around his face from an explosion and when he came home like all the veterans people spat at them and calling baby murders and rapists which maybe the man’s family disowned because of that and that’s why he starts living in the sewers and doesn’t remember who he was and starts calling himself the Rat king and also since his hair is Orange while in the original comics his hair was black could be a symbolism of Agent Orange as a call back to the Vietnam war.

    Krang in the Archie comics was portrayed as a lot more ruthless than his animated counterpart, even going as far as to wipe out a "rather heavily populated sector of Dimension X" while talking to Shredder!!
    In the 2012 series, Kraang Prime referred to Krang as a screw-up which is why Krang was stripped of his body and exiled to Earth in the first place.

    For me its all simple: everything that exists outside of OG cartoon is non-canon. Which means both Turtles Forever and 2k12 have no bearing on story elements from OG series.

      Different how? He was based on the 1987 Krang with elements of IDW General Krang. He had the Technodrome. That was Krang my guy. You covered all other versions (including the alien species the Kraang) but the one specifically based on 1987 Krang.

  • @MegaMan87
    @MegaMan87 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Turtle Theory: To Rectify and Remedy the Continuity of Krang being from the TMNT 2012 Verse: Maybe Krang was not from TMNT 2012 Verse at all. Krang Subprime mistaken Krang as his own Cousin from his own verse as they Both Resembled from each others verses.
    The Krang from 2012 TMNT Verse formed the Kraang based on his name before Kraang Prime Succeeded him and Escaped into the TMNT 1987 Verse and was lost in Dimension X of TMNT 1987 verse and '87 verse Krang Strongly Resembled Subprime's Cousin and took his Place as his Cousin to Invade with him without knowing who he was based on his other verses's History with Subprime.

    • @s.nifrum4580

      I just went with the idea that they were dimensional “cousins”
      Traveling dimensions isn’t new for either version. Maybe they met up, formed a cousin like bond but then that bond broke apart when 87 Krang kept fuckin up
      I like to think that Krang got banished twice. The first time he was kicked out of his own dimension X then he was kicked out of a different dimension X
