Did you know that the ghosts in Pacman were originally monsters but had to be retconed as ghosts because the sprites flickered (due to graphical processing limitations) when the game was ported to the Atari 2600?
It's not the same. Pac man had been a relatively new and could easily be retconned at that point.
TMNT has 30 years of history saying they're mutants caused by the ooze. True, over the years the source of that ooze has changed with each reboot, but they knew to keep them mutants because it's in the freaking title.
Oh, and apparently he's also going to remove Teenage from the title as well. For serious.
