well at least we aren't stupid aliens....

Lmao.

Just finishing up re watching the season one finale and I had forgotten about that line till mikey shouted it. Surely I can't be alone in thinking he and the writers were referring to the 2014 movie.

Russ Carney on Twitter wrote this in reference to that line...

So yes... It was an intentional nod.

At the time the episode was made it wasn't known whether they were or not. The rumor was that they were going to be aliens and not mutants. Or at least that aliens were going to play a part in the mythology.

Not exactly.

They actually were going to be aliens, Michael Bay acknowledged so in his first video interview regarding the movie way back. The concept was eventually scrapped due to massive fan revolt which resulted in the release being pushed back and a "brand new script" being made. Although it's common knowledge that a vast majority of Bay's original concept is still in the movie and since none of that was revealed at the time, they could stick with that. The only thing in a nutshell that was changed was the clarification that the turtles were aliens in the movie.

We need to have a talk...
You see, August 2013 is a different time than June 2014. Some things change since then.

Yep, I got the reference as soon as Mikey said it. That was awesome. There's also a reference in "New Friend Old Enemy" when Mikey is looking at the computer towards the end. There are two tabs open on the computer and one of them says, "Not really news. Ninja aliens????"

I love that line. It was basically sticking the finger up to Bay.

Yeah and when Mikey said it, I yelled out, "Up yours, Michael Bay!"
