So it looked like the title was "Ninja Turtles"... what would you think?
 

Are you happy with that title? We've known they're still mutants for a long time now (though to me it's a big "Who cares?" if they're aliens or not, given the rest of the... material we know about), but they might not even be teenagers in this. Do you think just "Ninja Turtles" sets it apart from the other films and universes?

Me, I'd always thought "Ninja Turtles" was a perfectly sound title for when the Turtles cease being teenagers. Never really happened anywhere, not even in the comics. It happened in "Ninja Turtles: The Next Mutation," but they were still 17 in that.

*Edit: So it looks like they've re-added the "Teenage Mutant" to the title, as of today.

Actually it's not. From today:

I've called them Ninja Turtles for years...

I gotta go with "TINO". From the information so far it seems to have very little to do with TMNT.

You bring up a good point by dropping teenage and just keeping ninja turtles to indicate that they might not even be teenagers. That would work if that's the kind of approach they take. However, I'm under the impression that it was still Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Personally I like the full title, it just sounds so crazy and wacky.

Where is the "I don't give a damn" option????
Truthfully the one thing I wishing and hoping for is that this movie puts TMNT onto the map and keeps it on the mainstream media

Ninja Turtles should really only ever be shorthand for when you're taking about them out loud.

Every part of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles should always be present in various media.

Exactly. I've always called them Ninja Turtles when talking to people about them but that doesn't mean the name of the entire new film should be changed to that.

i see no issue with just saying Ninja Turtles....i do it all the time..and less we forget next mutation did have the teenage mutant turtle title either

Well we know why "mutant" had to be omitted from the title.

I see people are overlooking my post. The title is TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES not just NINJA TURTLES.

Oh. Well that settles that, then.

I read somewhere today it was confirmed the full tmnt title not just NT. once I find the link ill post it. It was from the toy fair this past weekend.

When I read TINO all I could think of is Teenage Latino Mutant Turtles. :tlol::lol:

Ehh, it sounds bland and tacky. I'm glad they decided to include the full title.

I feel the same way.

I personally think that's more to do with Superman not actually becoming Superman until the end of the events in the movie... though the reality of it seems that it was a title just carried over from when it was still going to be Singer's Superman Returns 2.

That's because Man of Steel is a crap film, but anyway on topic.

I think the title will be only Ninja Turtles. The toys seems to be titled that way.

It's just a shorten form of the title, so I'm not fussed.

woops, nope it's changed to TMNT again according to Lego: http://forums.thetechnodrome.com/showthread.php?t=46280

They had these printed ahead of time
 

Teenage mutant ninja turtles has been the name of the movie for quite some time now.

Idk. I hold the original, full title close to me, so I feel I couldn't just drop part of it. But it's not the biggest deal. As long as they have a good solid script in place.

We know, now, that the title is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, but Ninja Turtles is fine by me. After Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 1990, and TMNT in 2007, I feel like this movie should have a different title. Just because it's ABOUT the teenage mutant ninja turtles, doesn't mean they couldn't come up with a new title, like Man of Steel, The Dark Knight, or The Amazing Spider-Man. I don't know what it should be, but something that suits this particular movie.

I couldn't give two ***** either way whether any version of the franchise is just called "Ninja Turtles" or "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles."

Hah, yes, imagine if they tried to come up with a title without using "Ninja Turtles" in it.

I guess "The Fearsome Foursome" would work... though that could easily be misconstrued as some kind of hardcore sex video.

I dunno... there's always "Heroes in a Half Shell." :D

they could of gone Man of Steel and Dark Knight route and called it Heroes In a Half Shell

Except they're not in half shells, and never have been... they have both plastron and carapaces -- they're in full shells.

Oh, Superman was never made of steel. It's just a name. Maybe they could come up with something that fits this particular story. Or a subtitle. Something. There's more to a movie that the name of the characters, is what I'm saying. They could think of something.

Kinda like first blood
 

Given it was Rambo: first blood part 2 after that. There was still First blood, Rambo first blood part 2, Rambo 3, and finally "Rambo"

Confirmed final title or not, "Ninja Turtles" would be a fine choice for this movie. Not only it would avoid the confusion set by other movies as described above, but when most people talk about the franchise in public, "Ninja Turtles" seems to be the most common way to name the brand. SOTO provided a subtitle to the first, and additional subtitles will work fine with any future films. But even if it was called "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", I still wouldn't care since I could spend an entire day naming the literally hundreds and hundreds of films that have the same name but are treated separately. King Kong, Transformers, Titanic, Cinderella, The Wizard of Oz, Star Trek, and so much more, yet they tend to be release long enough apart so that a certain generation can claim it to be "their" film.

A swing and a miss.

Make it Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Heroes In A Halfshell, & Turtle Power. :tsmile:

O_o i see what you did there. Lol

At least someone did. :trazz: Though it was obvious, personally.

I like it. Turtle Power will be a great title for that "rediscovering the hero you are" sequel.

Hopefully they have a good script. My expectations are low.

As much apathy as I have for the movie, I do as well, for a couple of different reasons. It really seems like they were set on it being "Ninja Turtles" they kowtowed to what the reaction they were seeing from all the overwhelming number of sound-minded, reasonable TMNT fans there are on the internet...

*crickets chirping*

Y'know, that always bugged me, too. I've always found that specific nickname/reference to be pretty bad. I've personally never referred to the TMNT as "Heroes In A Half-Shell" and always kind of cringe when others do. I never quite got the joke.

me too, even as a kid I called them that. Would never be upset if the title was simply Ninja Turtles.

Ninja Turtles is fine.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is fine.

I can't find it in myself to get worked up about this point in anyway, sorry.

Me and my siblings went a step lazier and just called them "The Turtles" anyone in my family instantly knows who your talking about.
