I loved Krang, but a talking brain puppet probably would have looked more than a little silly -- or possibly very frightening. Either way, that would have been counter productive.

I don't remember any kids having any of the darker turtles comics, they all had the ones based on the cartoon. All my friends watched the cartoon and the cartoon was the thing that sold the toys and got all the kids watching it which become popular enough to be made in a movie. Another franchise that suffers from this is Transformers. Instead of just doing an awesome live action version of the cartoons they tried to make it a big mixture of all the transformers generations. Now they have to write really awful stories that remind me more of National Treasure or Angels & Demons rather than a straight up awesome robots that change into cars freak out. Basically I want to see the movie of the thing that made me a fan. Hollywood seems to try to make stuff that pleases everyone and that sucks.

That was the whole cartoon Shredder and Krang coming up with crazy over the top schemes to take over the world and yet for some reason always getting Beebop and Rocksteady to carry out the plan. After episode after episode of those two screwing things up, you'd think S&K would get one of the foot clan soldiers to look after things. My gripe with the turtles movies is they never had krang.
