Emotional line by Mikey in TMNT2 Out Of The Shadows (spoiler alert)

evan2000 · 06-03-2016, 09:06 AM

When the turtles were first exposed at the police headquarters, a terrified police asked "what are they?!" and someone yelled "they're MONSTERS!!"

Mikey, with his hands in the air (or on his head? I forgot) and heartbroken, quietly mumbled "we're not monsters..."

And later on when they escaped back to the lair, Mikey told Splinter that the humans who saw them are not only shocked, but more like... HATED them at first sight

Are these lines by Mikey indirectly referencing how the TMNT1 production team felt when there was a huge backlash from the fans and public in general, regarding the turtles looking ugly and all, two years ago? This thought hit me immediately while I was watching TMNT2 till that part. Anyone else felt the same?
