History WMG / TurtlesForever

In this movie, 87 Shredder and Krang tried to find a 2003 version of Krang but failed to, which makes little sense considering there ''was'' an Utrom in this series by that name, even if he was a minor three-seconds MythologyGag character. The only possible explanation is that 2003 Krang died off-screen somehow to justify the Technodrome not being able to find a Krang in the 2003-verse. So for a 2003 version of Krang to be non-existent by the time of ''Turtles Forever'', he was KilledOffscreen without the audience getting to know about it.

The hatred in Ch'Rell's heart formed a [[KingdomHearts Heartless]] Shredder, like how Scar's hatred formed Ghost Scar.

In the first couple of seasons they did have distinct personalities, take things seriously, and were less goofy, while Shredder and Krang were at least mildly threatening. But if you keep watching into seasons 3 and 4 up until before the Red Sky seasons, they approach the goofiness in ''TurtlesForever''. The ones we see in ''Turtles Forever'' must be from a hypothetical season 22 (given that the special came out in 2009), in which the series has long since JumpedTheShark and everyone's been {{Flanderized}}.

However, the "blue sky" universe--the 1987 dimension seen in ''Turtles Forever''--still continued on separately. The last episode of the original show's eighth season (the last "blue sky" episode) establishes that the Technodrome gets sucked back into Dimension X, stranding Shredder, Krang, et al. on Earth. At some point, Shredder and Krang somehow retrieve the Technodrome and wreak havoc upon New York once again, and the Turtles intervene, thus leading to the events that get them stuck in the 2003 universe. The only forseeable problem is, Shredder and Krang return from that adventure with a [[TookALevelInBadass drastically upgraded Technodrome]], care of Ch'rell's modifications.

[[WMG:The supposed exaggerated cowardice of the 1987 Turtles is actually FridgeBrilliance.]]

Given their awareness of the fourth wall- they, on various occasions, knew they were in "episodes", and even mentioned that they were the show's title. The '87 Turtles were never afraid where ''they'' came from because they were the main characters of the show, they ''knew'' they would live. Now in ''Turtles Forever'', they were outside of their show and comfort zone- and indeed could really be killed, due to S&P changes and etc.
* Also, the exaggerated cartoonyness of the '87 world and characters. The original series was always cartoony, but the first seasons were actually fairly serious, only to [[{{Flanderization}} Flanderize]] and become sillier and sillier as they show went on (Though not to the level they were here): But even after the show stopped airing, the universe ''continued to get zanier'', til' they reached the level they were at in the movie.
** Actually, the original show had at least a few episodes that were more zany than what happened in the movie. The only real notable thing that seemed out-of-character was [[spoiler: the old toon turtles besides Don breaking down after nearly being killed by Utrom Shredder.]]
*** Refer to the first part.
**** Also, Old Toon Don was more or less Deus Ex Machina-Man.
***** He pretty much filled that role in the original cartoon though, so it kind of works out.
** It was a bit out of character for them not to take anything seriously too, at least with Leonardo and Donatello.

No one made mention to the fact they were in the future or past. So either the 2003 one is SchizoTech or the older one just lacks technology in exchange for goofy retroness. I support the latter. It seems more in-series for the 80s one to just be so goofy that it has an 80s charm (which is pretty goofy) and lacks modern day technology.
