Martin Kratt - Tumblr Posts

Throwback Thursday to last year’s "Under Frozen Pond"! Love this episode! Can’t wait to see the new winter themed episode "A Creature Christmas" tomorrow! Happy holidays everyone! :D

Happy Birthday to one half of the creature-adventuring brothers, Martin Kratt!!!

Just a little something I doodled at lunch today ;) Martin x Aviva forever! <3

Did Zach’s Disrupto-Bots cause permanent damage to Aviva’s creature power suit technology?

I watched the episode “The Erminator” for the first time today and I had a strange realization.

In the episode, we learn that Aviva now programs new creature power discs of similar animals by taking the foundation of a disc she’s already created and adding to it from there. Furthermore, Aviva makes sure to remove the original information from the disc coding so that the new disc won’t malfunction and cycle through ghost programs of past activations… Where have we heard that before?

In “Creature Power Challenge”, Zach uses his Disrupto-Bots to hack into the creature power suits and reactivate ghost programs of past activations at random. This is exactly what happens when Martin decides to try his hand at making a creature power disc in “The Erminator”, as he forgets to get rid of the old programming before creating the new disc.

This makes me think that Aviva didn’t fully clean the creature power suits of Zach’s hacking. Zach’s disruption code is still somewhere within the brothers’ power suits, and could even still be within the Tortuga as he planted a Disrupto-Bot there as well.

The fact that Aviva and the others don’t seem alarmed by this makes me think that they don’t know it’s happening because of Zach’s past hacking. Aviva seems to think it’s just a flaw in her coding that the ghost activations will happen if she doesn’t program the discs properly. While I’m sure that helps, ghost activations were never an issue until Zach’s interference in “Creature Power Challenge”, which makes me think that he has a hidden advantage here that both he and the crew have no idea about. Unless of course he does realize it and it’s being saved up for some big plot, perhaps for the Wild Kratts movie!

Anyways, just my thoughts about Zach’s hidden advantage. Let me know what you guys think about it!

Wild Kratts Theory: Zach’s Invisibility Cloak

I recently watched the episode “The Vanishing Stingray” for the first time and I found that the episode’s villain plot was very open ended, perhaps for a very specific reason.

In the episode, we learn that Zach’s invisibility cloak, which he has deemed his most genius invention, has an unfortunate glitch. The cloak works perfectly unless it gets wet, which causes the invisibility element to glitch and shut off, allowing you to be able to see the wearer.

Zach tries to remedy this problem by attempting to steal Aviva’s new stingray creature power discs, as he believes the discs house the secret to fixing the glitch due to the fact that stingrays can make themselves invisible under water. His attempt to take the discs fails and Zach is actually not seen in person by any of the crew as his plot in the episode ends, only via a hologram projection. Now here’s where it gets interesting.

After the brief hologram interaction with Zach, Martin questions why Zach went after them, saying “Hey, so what did Zach want anyway?”. I think this is the first time I’ve seen none of the crew figure out a villain plot, which definitely gives Zach an advantage. Only he knows that his invisibility cloak doesn’t work when wet and he believes Aviva’s technology is the secret to fixing the problem.

Now, we know that Zach’s invisibility cloak is his most clever invention, seeing as it was revealed in “Back In Creature Time” alongside Aviva’s very important time trampoline. Unlike most of his other inventions, the cloak allows Zach to get away with his evil plans each time he uses it, like how he used it in “Back In Creature Time” to capture Koki and Jimmy and cut off their communication with the others, as well as in “Creepy Creatures” when he was able to successfully steal the miniaturizer while wearing it. We can see the prominence of this invention well over his others, so the fact that they left this plot in “The Vanishing Stingray” very open ended was quite odd to me… Or so I thought.

After some thinking, I came to the idea that this was done deliberately as a prelude to a larger plot, namely for the Wild Kratts movie. The movie would most likely revolve around some big plot about Aviva’s inventions, such as the time trampoline or maybe even a new one, so it would make sense that Zach would be using his invisibility cloak opposite her creation.

In my opinion, I believe there’s going to be a larger plot to further Zach’s quest to fix his invisibility cloak by using Aviva’s technology. I also think that within that continued plot, the crew will eventually find out about the cloak’s weakness and use that to their advantage. I can just picture Koki casually using a spray bottle around the Tortuga to check if Zach is around! Haha!

Anyways, just some thoughts from me! I haven’t seen all of season 6 yet, so I’m not sure if they’ve done anything else around Zach’s invisibility cloak, but I really hope they use this open ended plot in some way! Let me know what you guys think!

Still haven’t seen this episode, but this compared to the zebra power suits:

Zebras are also wild horses and their suit design is much better. I can’t imagine why they would decide to drastically change the suit for wild ponies.

I THOUGHT YALL WERE EXAGGERATING ABOUT THE WILD PONY SUIT BECAUSE I HAVEN'T SEEN IT UNTIL NOW.

WHAT IS THISSSSSSSSS????????? IM CRYING REAL TEARS

Wild Kratts Live Question

For any of you who have attended Wild Kratts Live, do you know if the Kratt brothers meet people outside the venue for free after the show?

I really wanna meet them when they come to my city this fall, but I can’t afford the meet and greet package.

If anyone has any tips or info on meeting them I’d really appreciate it!

Thank you!

Happy 10th Anniversary Back In Creature Time!

Thank you to both @kaythefloppa and @jokerislandgirl32 for bringing to my attention that the pivotal Wild Kratts episode Back In Creature Time is 10 years old today!

I remember watching this special with my brother for the first time like it was yesterday! The fact that they had made a two part episode and added the time travel element to the show blew our minds back then! I remember every feeling I had when I first watched this episode, from the awe of the reveal of Aviva’s time trampoline and Zach’s invisibility cloak to the absolute chills I felt when that Zachbot almost incinerated the return pad. And the Kratt brothers were really able to get their message about animal extinction across in a deep and powerful way that has stuck with me since.

I could fan girl so much more about how much I love this episode, but I think I’ll leave it off here! Thank you to the amazing episode Back In Creature Time for giving us such a fun adventure and adding so much more to the plot for us to geek about! Both me and my brother eagerly await the return of the time trampoline in all its glory in a future episode! I for one would love to see them travel back in time once more in another Back In Creature Time!

Wild Kratts Theory: Ancestors In Adapto The Coyote

So I was watching the Wild Kratts episode “Adapto The Coyote” today and I paid a little extra attention to this scene where Chris and Martin are explaining how European settlers drove off wildlife when they first arrived in North America. Now, let’s take a closer look at these settlers, shall we?

From the looks of their silhouettes, I think the animators used existing character models for this scene, specifically Aviva, Zach, and Dabio.

Now, this could simply be to save them from designing new characters for background silhouettes, but of course I like to add some depth to what I see.

What if these settlers are ancestors of Aviva, Zach, and Dabio!

We already know from “Back In Creature Time” that the villains had ancestors who looked quite a bit like them (the Dabio looking silhouette even has a hat like Shabio), so it stands to reason that the ancestors of the other characters would also be look-alikes.

It would certainly be interesting if this was true because that would mean that one of Aviva’s ancestors was considered a villain in their time.

Anyways, those are just my thoughts on this part of the episode! Let me know what you guys think!

Love these! I just had to make the rest of the crew!

the Kratt brothers!!

Made some for the villains too!

the Kratt brothers!!

Wild Kratts Mood Boards!

I was inspired by @lift-blog to make my own mood boards for the Wild Kratts characters! I hope you guys like them!

nostalgia slapped me upside the head a little while ago so i had to draw my favorite dudes ft. the gecko effect

May I add in that fever dream of a crossover between Wild Kratts and Frozen?

What was a, "you had to be there" moment, or moments for WK? (Whether show, fandom, or other). I'll go first (this one's a fucking DOOZY)

The existence of the flash content on the WK website, as well as the games' takedown (additionally, the existence of Habitat Rescue, that shit slapped, you had to be there)

That one scene from the hummingbird episode

The whole of the pilot episode.

The Back in Creature Time special + when the Time Trampoline became an arc (which, as of a month ago, has been dragged on for 8 years)

Aviva and Koki activating creature powers in the first half of the show and getting their own creature power suits.

The Jimmy CPS tease in Sea Otter Swim.

When Lemur Legs premiered and everyone expected Zooboomafoo to make a guest-star appearance.

When the Kratts appeared on Odd Squad.

Toodles (it took me too long to learn about Salutations but Toodles registered in my mind for sooo long)

Back in the early days of the show when people were shipping the Kratt Brothers with MLP:FiM characters (firstly, WHY, secondly, I solely believe the only reason that died out was because the brony fandom sky-rocketed and left the WK fandom in the dust because PBS wasn't generally a popular network)

When Paisley Paver met the villains (only to be screwed over by the show's refusal to give her any more post-S5 appearances outside of cameos/group-appearances with the other villains)

Several fanfics released during the show's 2nd & 3rd season which hit a cult following (do fanworks have cult followings?). To name a few: The Power of Nature by Taismo's-89: The Elemental Charge fanfic (which was based off of Power of Nature) ShorinRyuKarateKobudo's take on S3, including Brandon Tran, A.K.A. Agent Ninja.

The false episode articles on the Wild Kratts wiki, including the Back in Creature Time sequel titled, Jurassic Kratts, & the infamous Caviva wedding episode.

The Wild Pony Power Suit's existence

Tardigrade Xtreme (mainly it was because it was the closest the show ever did to killing off the Kratts, but also, there was a brief discourse on the wiki about whether or not it was the series finale).

The announcement of The Movie.

When the show returned after a 9 month hiatus for the S6 finale.

Aviva's rollerblades in Cats & Dogs.

When the show went on hiatus again for what will be another year... after we just got out of a 9 month hiatus with only 1-2 episodes.

I'm only 16, yet I have this many memories about the show + fandom that make me feel like a boomer.

I love this style so much Akdjaksk

It’s so simple it’s amazing

Man…

Martin forgot to name baby animals. His worst nightmare came true 😭

LOOK AT THEM

LOOK AT THEM RIGHT NOW

THATS MY WHOLE CHILDHOOD RIGHT THERE THOSE ARE MY BABIES

I saw a comment saying that Martin and Chris are the original ADHD and autism duo and that simple comment escalated to this

Loved the Wild Kratts as a kid! This brings back so many memories! 💙💚

enjoy this compilation I made of Chris succumbing to the instincts of the creature power suit

Change my mind.

Laios was Martin Kratt before Martin Kratt was born. Falin was Chris Kratt before Chris Kratt was born.

YOU KNOW WHO THIS MF LOOK LIKE LOWKEY?!

LOOK!!!
