Official Ep Discussion: S3 Ep12-13: "Battle for New York"

It's clearly a visual gag to suggest he got funky with a creature, that's it. Period. She's about as much Mona Lisa as Jack Kurtzman is your OC...

Sorry, but I agree with Duckie on this one. Even if the lizard lady doesn't show up again, I do think it may be a nod to Mona Lisa just as Venus on the Party Wagon was a nod to Venus from Next Mutation.

MIGHTY MUTANIMALS!! TURTLE BLIMP!! SAVAGE MIKEY!!

Top tits stuff!

Don't have much more to say as most of y'all have already said it, but hot dog that was some good telly. There wasn't much about it I didn't like, and I'm excited to see where the show goes now that the Kraang our out of the picture for a bit.

People really thought that was a nod to Mona Lisa? Think it was more wishful thinking from the Mona fans.

*Powder* · 03-17-2015, 08:16 PM

At least 3 on this page alone.

While the crew def puts loads of awesome references in there for you to discover, people really reach with these kinda things.

Not so much wishful thinking, but wishful praying that it wasn't her.

Seems like even IGN thought it was. I don't think of them as experts by no means and honestly I think most Dromers are more adept at analyzing the show than they are. However, they have direct access to the staff to ask them plainly about stuff like this.

Duly noted. Thanks for the clarification then. It was a fun gag though.

Sure it was funny, but it doesn't make sense for an iguana lady to appear and then suddenly she "never existed".

*BubblyShell22* · 03-18-2015, 04:15 PM

But it does if what they were aiming for was just a gag, and that's what it was. I admit, I thought it was a Mona reference, too, but it's not as confirmed by Brandon Auman, so there you go. Just a gag for laughs.

*IndigoErth* · 03-18-2015, 05:05 PM

I'm still tossing in a few chips on a bet she shows up sooner or later, no matter who she is. That still looks potentially like a detailed character model rather than just an illustration... and if that's the case, why waste the time and money on a model for one quick image.

Nick can brush it aside all they want that it was only a quick gag - and sure, in this particular instance, in that episode, it is - and it's understandable to do so now or at any other time if they don't want to spoil future plans, but no, I ain't buying it until she really never does show up.

To only be lucky enough to be a member of that studio though... they must get some good laughs/amusement over some of the speculation, etc. lol

If they were going to introduce Mona at some point... well, here's their "in." If the iguana-lady here and Kurtzman had a fling and produced a daughter, I'd say it's possible their offspring could be around the age range for the Turtles. I'd even say it's possible Kurtzman could be unaware that he has a daughter--but given his track record, I find it unlikely.

Anyway, it's a thread they could be leaving dangling in case they want to do something with it later. It's better than trying to retcon ML into the story.

*BubblyShell22* · 03-19-2015, 04:45 PM

Well, it was confirmed that the lizard lady was just a gag and nothing more, so I recant my earlier statement of it being a reference since it clearly wasn't.
