Wonder if there will be a Mona Lisa? - Page 2

**Jester** · 03-29-2015, 09:38 PM

I wonder why with just 1 episode and an action figure this character has such a huge following....

You know...I've actually been pondering a loooong post in general discussion on this very topic. I may get to it eventually.

Short story: I'm in favor of Mona Lisa, or characters very much like her, in either the Nick or IDW comic worlds.

I kinda don't care either way, but I'll admit, she caught my attention in the OT and she was memorable for whatever reason. To me, it's like, if they're going to do more mutant characters - and they will - there's no harm in a few of them being chicks. And double for bringing back someone who people remember, regardless of reason.

I kinda don't care much about this show either way anymore, but if they're bringing back this or that character from other TMNT stuff, they could do worse.

Well part of it was Mona Lisa actually had a good character and good episode in the original toon. I doubt anyone would have cared for her otherwise.

Besides that Mona Lisa appeals to:

- Shippers (obviously)

- Feminists (she's a rare female mutant)

- Furries/Scalies (the people who like to sexualize and draw fanart of humanoid animal characters. Avoid deviantart and rule 34 at all costs)

If social media existed in the 80's/90's you would see Mona Lisa shrines and character posts all over tumblr, twitter and facebook.

It'd be worth it just to read chicks gush about wanting to bang ALF.

Spoken like someone who NEVER made any of that himself, ROFLMAO!!! I'm callin' you OUT, Mister!! Cubed, you just lost all credibility with that statement. Some of us KNOW your "dirty little secret"..... *cough, Pokemon, cough*

Also, I happen to think Mona Lisa and Raph make a really cute couple in OR out of canon. She kind of balances him out, if you think about it. Would make for some interesting character dynamics with that kind of pairing- and it COULD actually add something to his character to show that "softer side". Y'know, like having her show that he's kind of a Teddy bear on the inside. Or that he's not JUST gruff and sarcastic, but he could be sweet and caring, too. And trading some snarky banter with her. Or- oh, I dunno, lots of things that could make him (and her) interesting and fun.

^The only way that can get my attention or say "It's officially a comeback everybody!" would be if they actually revisit something that was pretty significant but for some reason was drop in the past. Even during the beginning return of New York episodes, I was apprehensive because I knew the good times wouldn't last and that they wouldn't stick the landing. We had more episodes then I thought we would have of them trying to retake the city and that was good but the resolution still felt rush. I just wish it wasn't done with Mikey accidentally creating the super retromutagen.

This whole thing of revisting on what happened to April's mom if she out there somewhere and it turns out that she became Mona Lisa, probably mutating herself on purpose with Newtrailzer's race dna to breath in the atmosphere of dimension x, and that they're actaully going do something with that would really make my day. It so exciting and for once I be wound so exciting to see April and her reaction on seeing her. Just show me the fireworks! I just want to see the fireworks.

Oh yeah, Cubed wrote Pokemon fics, didn't he? Weren't some of them porn? That's awesome. I don't even know what Pokemon is but I think that's terrific.

Whatchu talking about... the public TMNT crushing would have just started much sooner. lol

~~Leo656~~ · 03-29-2015, 11:03 PM

Oh come on, the ALF fanfiction would be through the roof if there had been such a thing at a time when ALF was popular and banging ALF would actually mean something.

"Y'know, Willy... if there's ONE thing I can't get enough of, it's eating pussy... CATS! HAH!" It writes itself.

Yes. Yes, he did, and they WERE. And you're friggin' hilarious, Leo.

~~Leo656~~ · 03-29-2015, 11:04 PM

I actually do know what Pokemon is.

I just pretend I don't so girls will talk to me.

I completely read that in ALF's voice too.

I mean, I couldn't care about it one way or the other, but I would say--and I don't consider myself a feminist at all--that it would be really cool to see a female mutant that wasn't working against the turtles. Not saying she should be a love interest. I'd just like to see some female mutants (maybe a cool older one?). Or go younger like Alopex. I think I remember she said she was 14 or something. But Alopex's allegiance is questionable (I'm on issue 37 I think), so I don't think she counts for being on the turtles' side. Maybe add a chick to the Mighty Mutanimals. That would be neato!

I propose that Adult Swim launches the "All-New ALF and Max Headroom Hour". Or even a half-hour. I'd watch it.

*MsMarvelDuckie* · 03-29-2015, 11:50 PM

LOL! So would I.

My opinion about Mona Lisa's popularity:

This playful antagonism of "Raphael Meeting His Match" seemed to open the possibilities of Raphael finally being on the receiving end of cutting remarks, jokes, puns, etc. and with Mona Lisa being female, it hinted at subtle flirtation as well.

...Because what's more hilarious than a notable sarcastic, know-it-all FINALLY getting all of that same aggravation right back on himself?

*Candy Kappa* · 03-30-2015, 12:51 AM

I'm more interested to see Koya or Alopex then Mona Lisa.

It doesn't matter which character they would choose, cause her personality would be fitted into the available token box. Now that Karai have left the Bad Girl box and are now the Lost Sister, someone have to fill the badass chick/Femme Fatale role in the show.

*neatoman* · 03-30-2015, 02:28 AM

No, no Mona Lisa. How about Angel instead?
