3. The KRAANG

It’s obvious from the trailer that NYC is under attack by an out-of-this-world threat, the Kraang! Not one, but two villains in Out of the Shadows! If my inner fan boy serves me right, The Kraang hail from Dimension X and will stop at nothing to takeover Earth. The Kraang are led by Kraang Prime who I am assuming resides in this here droid featured above rocking the classic 1980’s cartoon look. If you’re keeping track, we have Shredder, who has acquired a mysterious OOZE, and we also have a inter-dimensional threat. Hmmm, is it possible that Shredder got the OOZE from the Kraang? I think so, maybe trust me on this one and get a little excited! The Turtles are up against some of their gnarliest foes, wouldn’t it be totally rad if they had some help?

2. Casey Jones

My head exploded when this casting was announced! Forget everything else, this is something to get amped up about! Stephen Amell will portray Casey Jones. That’s right, our favorite CW superhero will be playing one of the most badass vigilantes of them all, Casey Jones. With Shredder, the foot clan, Bebop and Rocksteady, and The Kraang, the villains are adding up! NYC is in for a show and the Turtles are going to need as much help as they can get. Casey Jones, a self-proclaimed vigilante, sports a beat up hockey mask and wields a hockey stick. He may not have any power, but he’s got the moves and will play a key role in backing up our half-shelled heroes. We can also add him to the list of “Guy’s Michelangelo is jealous of,” cause Miss O’Neil seems to be smitten.

1. Pizza!

I don’t think anyone loves pizza as much as these guys do! Why get excited for pizza? Easy, the pizza is iconic to TMNT history. It makes them who they are, whether it’s in the movies, cartoons, video games, or comics, there is always pizza! It brings the brothers together and when the brothers are together it makes for some hilarious moments, especially in Michelangelo’s case. This dude loves pizza so much that it appears he is eating 3-4 slices at once in the trailer!

Remember, “Wise man say, forgiveness is divine, but never pay full price for late pizza.”
