The news regarding the upcoming tmnt movie reboot are still pouring in, but unlike the previous news focusing on Bay’s “alien” announcement, this tidbit is about the movie’s title.According to bleedingcool, the work title for the movie, previously thought to be teenage mutant ninja turtles, dropped both the words “teenage” and “mutant”, thus becoming “ninja turtles”.
Bleedingcool’s sources also give the reason behind the title’s change “seems to be driven by marketing. Think of John Carter and how Disney wouldn’t allow for a title with either “Princess” or “Mars”.
Seems like a fair decision. Hopefully, dropping the word mutant does not mean that the turtles are not anything other than mutant(if you see what I mean)
