This is exactly it. If you ask anyone a short quiz about the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" if all you tell them is the name of the franchise it should be simple enough to not get basic things wrong.
Are they adults?
No the name says they are teenagers.
Are they military soldiers?
No they are Ninjas.
Are they frogs?
No in the title it says they are turtles.
Are they aliens?
No they are mutants.
People have the right to complain about this because this is a HUGE mistake stated on stage by someone involved with making this movie. We have every right to be scared. Its a very hard mistake to make to call them aliens in the first statement made about the movie.
To be fair maybe this wasn't supposed to be public information ...
