So Kurtzman actually had a sexual relationship with a female mutant alien (some even speculated that she’s Mona Lisa)….
Proof?
1) The fedora hat is obviously Kurtzman’s

2) The folded clothes that she holds with her tail looks like Kurtzman’s suit

3) That’s not a female underwear she’s wearing, more like a man’s boxer….even the shirt she’s wearing..you do the math.

4) Drinks for two?

You seem surprised about adult humour in a kids show.
It's been around since forever. And it wasn't always just jokes either.
Samurai Jack had a scene with women dancing suggestively in a club.

The "suit" isn't a suit, it's a blanket folded up on the arm of the couch.
Probably to go with the pillow at the other end. I'm assuming Kurtzman sleeps on the couch regularly.
The hat the alien is wearing isn't the same kind of hat.
It's more of a straw boater, rather than the fedora that kurtzman is wearing.
The boxers and men's button down shirt...those I'll give you.
Poor woman's lingerie, bless it.
I love Mike's expression though.

Has anyone thought that the woman might actually be Kurtzman himself? His human look could be a disguise/hologram or whatever and that lizard lady might be his true form.

Interesting but far fetched. If it were a holograph, people would have noticed had parts that he wasn't supposed to when Leatherhead was carrying him and Splinter said he needed to cauterize the wound i.e. Sear the wound closed.
While Kurtzman's humanity is still in question, we are more likely to see him revealed as the Fugatoid then we would see him being revealed as a female.

I don't know what it is, but there is something really odd about the art style on her face. I struggle to put my finger on it, but there is something quite different to the usual styles for the Nick characters done so far.
Longer, more accentuated chin than most human characters (or any character for that matter), very high cheek bones, and a more 'triangular' look to her face overall.
She reminds me a lot of the way the Neutrino's were drawn in the OT.

I do wonder why they used those two as opposed to showing everyone's reactions...and why did Raph gasp. Oh well... I guess that interpretation is no worse than the we're not that kind of sub joke that got past censors.
IndigoErth
03-15-2015, 10:50 AM
Alright... So anyhow. Maybe she's a girlfriend or friend he simply hasn't mentioned to protect her. Maybe she was with him and got hit with one of those canisters in season 2 and needed clothing post mutation, and thus he offered what she could manage to get on for the time being.
I don't think she's holding anything with her tail, it looks to me like her tail is simply over the arm of the sofa and a blanket or something is folded over the arm of it.
Doubtful it's Mona Lisa, who was more salamander, right? Amphibian rather than reptile. This lady definitely look like she got mixed with iguana. (Or...was...one?)
Has anyone thought that the woman might actually be Kurtzman himself? His human look could be a disguise/hologram or whatever and that lizard lady might be his true form.
Interesting theory, but in that case who took the photo? Or was it on a timer and this one of those "trying to look hot for Facebook" pictures?

You have great points there. There are a lot of clues in that one photo. I believe they put that in there as foreshadowing rather than a quick joke since we get a good look at her and it's in great detail. It sure does leave a lot of questions unanswered.
I get the idea that she has quite the personality to go with her hot looks. She's sassy and possibly a tough fighter, probably smart. She looks sexy as in she had just stayed the night. I don't get the impression that she was just newly mutated. Wouldn't she be a bit more upset or confused? I know I would be.
And Raph's reaction...I have many speculations on that. Was that a way of telling us he's not gay? I know I've read some speculation that he might be and perhaps they wanted to clarify that for us.
Could she be the mother of Raph's future love interest? Can you imagine a teenage version of her coming into the picture? I could totally see Raph liking her.
Also, maybe they only showed us the reactions of Mikey and Raph since it would be wrong for Donnie and Leo to look turned on since they are already in love with other women.
There are so many possibilities in that one photo. I wonder who thought of the idea of putting her in there in the first place?

Yeah, the background being the guy's former(?) home - given his bulletin board that the Turtles and April got a look at when they first ran into him - makes me think she'll probably show up at some point and isn't just a pic put in the show just because.
Besides, that's a rather detailed model to make with no intention of using her, rather than, say, just illustrate an image instead.
Agree she probably wasn't just mutated, but even still, if she was stuck at his place for a while I could see her still wearing his stuff. I mean in real life it's hard enough to simply find a pair of well fitting jeans, imagine sending this guy to shop for you. :lol: Esp when you haven't a clue what would even fit now. With the tail the boxers are probably just easier.
Personally, people might also just be reading too much into Raph and Mikey. I mean, maybe they were turned on by it, but in the course of the actual show they only see a quick image, it may only be shock as anyone might express if you suddenly saw a really unexpected image among someone's slides. Although I look forward to the Turtles questioning him about who she is. Surely they must...

Raph painted and admired a green girl earlier. Now he's shown reacting to this. Maybe they're just hints that Mona Lisa will show up later. After all, if they're giving 3 turtles love interests, why not go for the fourth?
I actually wouldn't mind if she showed up in season 4 or whatever, as long as the crush isn't written like what we've had so far: love at first sight, not reciprocated, etc.

Of course this could easily be true as well. It would be nice to see at least something come of the picture and not be written off as a gag completely. She looks pretty cool.

Is Renet actually a confirmed love interest for Mikey? I always would assumed it would be an infatuation kind of thing, like him doing that goggly eyed thing.
That was assuming Renet wouldn't be in very many episodes tho.
BubblyShell22
03-15-2015, 04:38 PM
I think it was confirmed that Mikey will have a crush on Renet, and she's voiced by Ashley Johnson who has voiced other love interests opposite Greg Cipes.
As for that woman, I definitely think she'll show up again or will be mentioned again. They didn't just do a quick thing either and let the slide stay there for a few minutes before Jack switched it.

In the other thread, I joked about her being Mona Lisa. It was the first lizard lady I could think of in the Turtleverse. Personally, before stepping into this thread, I viewed Raph and Mikey's reactions as genuine surprise, which is why I posed the question over why they didn't show everyone's reactions. I was including the Mutanimals as well.
I only joked about it being Mona Lisa because Raph gasped. He was enamored. lol. I also thought about the painting he did of the lizard lady. It would be an interesting twist if they were doing that to show that maybe Raph, compared to his brothers, is attracted to actual anthropomorphic reptilians as opposed to humans or mammals.
I was kind of hoping, although it coukd be a possibility still, for Raph not to fall for anyone so that he could remain the one to make those comments regarding the others, but atthe same time, I could see it actually happening and Raph going out of his way to deny it to others and himself. The comedic potential would be high imo. lol

I do like the point made of how Raph painted the green girl on the Van and then POOF here's a green lizard girl and Raph gawking at her. I do have to admit I did also think Mona Lisa immediately. Also Kurtzman being a Fugatoid is definitely a possibility.

I should clarify, I personally never felt he was gay. I just keep reading other people saying that and I was curious as to why. I do feel that he keeps his mind off of the idea of romance since he never believed they had a chance at love. Now that he's gotten a look at a hot mutated lizard woman he probably has changed his mind.
CaliperCat
03-16-2015, 12:53 PM
I think it'd be easier for Raph to believe that he might be more accepted for who and what he is by someone who's not completely human than by someone who is. Donnie and Leo have a certain amount of optimism, but unless it involves his ability to kick a bad-guy's butt, Raph is definitely the pessimist of the team.
Confronting him with a flesh-and-blood female he finds himself liking would probably evoke a similar reaction to that of our good friend, the Grinch.

I can definitely see the wife/girlfriend-turned-into-a-mutant angle, but I can also see Kurtzman falling for her as she was. She could've been a spy who agreed to acquire information for him- he has to have obtained that knowledge from some outside source- and over the course of their work relationship, they ended up becoming romantically involved. Stranger things have happened.

I see what your saying. I feel like the show just hasn't given a love interest to Raph yet. Donnie's into April, Leo's into Karai, Mikey doesn't care about chicks yet, and Raph I think (as you said) hasn't had the chance yet. I think we know his type ;P granted the whole painting the sexy green chick on the van. If the show introduces Mona Lisa then boom. Green reptile chick and Raph will be a done deal! I hope they bring her in! That'll be so fun!
EDIT: I'm not that far in the IDW series but I think Alopex and Raph have something going on. That would be interesting if the show put her in. But...personally, I think Mona Lisa is a better choice.

Something is definitely going on with Alopex and Raph... be it not much at the moment but a bit of harmless flirting really, but they certainly seem to have chemistry.
I'd be pretty happy if she turned out to be Mona Lisa, but if she is I hope they give her a bit of a more interesting back story then in the 80's cartoon. I could certainly see a sort of Kurtzman spy thing going on seeing he has to be getting much of his intel on the Kraang from somewhere after all. The photo does seem to portray her as a bit of a "catwoman" in a sense she looks mischievous as if she would play both sides in as semi antagonistic depending on what perhaps benefited her situation or entertained her the most. I tend to think Raph would be sort of into a bad girl... A bad girl that's not Karai anyway... if that makes sense.

Well, technically, Mona Lisa is the ONLY "green lizard lady". (And why do some fans take her as a salamander?? Salamanders are not usually green, and she clearly had a more reptilian build. She just had webbed hands and feet, which some aquatic lizards do.)
Also, the girl on the van was just WEARING green. Her face was clearly human in the close-up. Just a minor note there, but it keeps coming up as if she IS green. She's not.

Right. I see that too. But I hope they do something different. We've already seen the scenarios that play out with the "bad girl" type due to Karai. I kinda hope Mona Lisa is a bit like the 80s cartoon. She was flirty and she seemed to like Raph from the start. Wouldn't it be cool if a female love interest was finally, for a change, really into one of the turtles? xD It would make for some good comedy but I feel like that's probably gonna be Mikey and Renet's thing. Anyway, I just want to see a different type of gal, ya know? New scenarios. That sort of thing.

If there must be love interests and female characters have to be made out to be one that's what I wish to kinda see...let the girl have the interest first. And, I dunno, let Raph be oblivious, resistant or whatnot to her affections, at least for a while, it might be an entertaining reversal for a change.
Really think iguana lady is someone different though. If they've decided it's their version of Mona Lisa I'll be a little disappointed that's the direction they went. Unless the photo is not supposed to be a typical representation of the character in it, I suppose.

If it does happen, this is the type of thing I'd want it to turn out like. Or you could also possibly have them initially be totally indifferent to each other, or go the cliched way of having them actually dislike each other, then slowly grow to like each other. As long as it's not a repeat of what we've been having so far in terms of love interests. The more I think about it, the more I'd want their relationship to actually work out.

Yeah, I personally doubt she's Mona Lisa, seems way too old, but more of a nod to Mona Lisa. I do like the reason some people have given, that she's the one who's given Kurtzman a lot of info on Kraang and worked with him.

Right?! Well, that hasn't happened yet so we can't assume. But as I said before I would love the next girl to be the one that's really into one of the turtles. And yes, I can see if it was Raph that he'd be oblivious for a long time. That would be cute, actually.
I didn't think iguana lady was Mona Lisa at all. Yes, she was older for sure and clearly Kurtzman's fling.

I see Raph as the type who cares a lot, but doesn't want it to be known he cares and denies it, but ends up being crazy overprotective or snaps into super bad ass mode in a situation where his crush/beloved/whatever would be in danger... something like that.
Yeah. Raph's complex like that. :P

He thought to break off someone's arm and use it as a lock xP It's a little twisted, but I understand it's not that jarring to some people since it's clearly an alien robot thingy. But I get the joke.

I thought it was twisted and a bit wicked as he was doing it, before his brothers said he was twisted. Typical Raph.

I never took it as he was twisted for ripping off a robot arm as much as thinking to barricade the door with it. *shrugs* I still like it, one of my favorite Raph moments. It was pretty early on in the series, I think it was just the second episode so they probably weren't quite as use to improvising in combat as they are now. Still testing the waters for that target "children's" audience.
I remember the scene personally as that "Yup... Raph's gonna probably be my favorite in this version of the series."

Huh, I could've sworn it was just a green bodysuit with a leotard over it. She still looks human, though. Raph's got some odd fantasies, apparently.... (Maybe he's into body paint?)
Brandon Auman confirmed on his Facebook page that the lizard lady was not the new Mona Lisa.
Could still be her mother, though, if that wasn't just a one-off joke.

I'm not quite yet throwing away suspicions.
It would be very easy to truthfully say with all honesty that yes, something was just a gag in the episode in question...while simply failing to reveal future information. I'd be doing exactly that were it me and there was more to it... We shall see. Maybe I'm wrong, but I can't put away feeling like I slightly smell a rat, Nick. And it ain't Splinter. :trazz:

With you on that one, Indigo. The way Powder worded his question, there's a lot left open. Is it Mona Lisa, or a tribute to her somehow? No. Could she be Mona's mother? The possibility still stands.
As I said in the episode thread, it leaves the show an opening and some backstory if they did decide to bring Mona Lisa into things without having to retcon later. Kurtzman might not even be aware he had a daughter, but given his investigative nature, I doubt that.
Lizard woman was a conscientious choice. If it had been a mermaid, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

You know why? Because he's a green mutant reptile. Of course he'd be attracted to some species similar to his. And Raph's reaction looked more like a WTF face than anything else.

Maybe because in certain areas the Nick show leaves a lot to be desired. ;)
The character isn't Mona or even a nod to her, and that's all the confirmation we got. If people want to play around with the wiggle room we got with the answer, does it really matter? Let them enjoy themselves. Disagree if you want, but there's no need to come down on people who're just having fun speculating. It's part of what we're here for, after all.
Personally I'm not expecting anything to come from it like I was before. Just a gag, but if something does happen than I guess I can be pleasantly surprised.

I agree that it's fun to speculate, and sometimes the writers aren't going to give anything away. Remember when Ciro said those storyboards that were leaked were fake and they turned out to be real? Yeah, that could be the case here, too. You just never know. It could start out as a gag, but maybe later down the road, they may want to do something with that lizard lady and bring her back.

Yes, this is so true. I just think she's too well designed and they paused long enough for us to get a good look at her for her to be a gag. We can't fully trust anything they tell us, however, if they decided we enjoyed her enough they could bring her into the show at some point. That's a writer's prerogative.
I also saw a picture of a fish creature called Carnage that is from the mirage comics that looks like her, only male.

Not interrogating or trying to make anyone defensive, just asking. You showed us that reply you received (which was awesome, thanks) telling you it was just a gag. Have you gotten other details you haven't shared that make you certain they did not withhold anything and that speculation is out?

03-25-2015, 06:27 PM
I understand people like to speculate. It's fun. It makes things interesting...But perhaps make a new thread for that since Mona Lisa has nothing to do with 'The sexual pursuit of Jack Kurtzman'? I mean, the writer already told us it was merely a joke--nothing to do with Mona. To speculate is one thing, but now that you have proof, your conjectures are just fantasies now.
IndigoErth
03-25-2015, 06:38 PM
I don't know about others, but my own curiosity has nothing to do with Mona.
Whether iguana lady turns up elsewhere in the show at some other point or not, she exists in their world somewhere, so darn you Nick, this is like landing an UFO on the front lawn of the White House for three seconds and allowing only a few people to witness it. lol
Either that or Jack simply made himself a disturbingly well done cardboard cut out because reasons.

Yes, actually, you are. I'm applying actual logic to your post to point out the room left for interpretation, and you're rolling your eyes instead of even considering that you didn't get as straight an answer as you think. I'd say that's the pinnacle of being unreasonable. You don't even know what tone of voice to take that comment in--everyone on the Internet has an excellent poker-face, and can pull some excellent sleight of hand on you. Not saying it's a bold-faced lie, but it may not be a whole truth. (Note, I'm not saying it's false in any sense either... but it also stands that it could be.)
Comes down to the evil genie/Child of Oberon twisting your words thing. ("Did you say 'that human', or 'that human'? Never mind, I'll figure it out...")
And that also doesn't preclude the fact that while it may be nothing but a gag now doesn't mean the writers might pick it up and use it for something later, and then it won't have been just a gag, it will have been set-up.

If the writers decide to use that character design to flesh out a new character. that's an entirely different discussion. It's still just a picture for the "important slide-show's comedic moment" gag.
Of course, musing about who she is is just harmless fun. It is a interesting character design and she seems to easily fill the now lost Bad Girl/Catwoman trope character Karai had before she mutated and got slighly loopy.
If they do decide down the line to make a character out fo her, I hope she is an original creation and not a re-use of Mona or that other reptilian lady mutant who's name escapes me.
