Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem heavily changes a lot of what fans know about the Ninja Turtles. From how the teenage turtles act to the world around them, things are quite different from the franchise’s other continuities. This can be seen in how the movie’s secondary antagonist references a classic species from previous shows and comic books.Cynthia Utrom attempts to use the turtles to harness the power of the mutagenic ooze. Interestingly, her last name is the same as an alien group from the original comics and the franchise’s 2003 cartoon. The suggestion is that these extraterrestrials now have a much more earthbound origin. While this might be the biggest change among many in Mutant Mayhem, it’s mostly for the better. Like the TMNT themselves, the Utrom aliens were created by franchise fathers Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird. These were small, pink extraterrestrials that crawled about on their tentacles, though they used android exosuits to pass as humans after crash landing on Earth years before. Their species had created the mutagenic “ooze” that mutated Splinter and the turtles, with the capsule containing it bearing the title of their front company: TCRI. Despite the masquerade, the Utroms were actually peaceful creatures who came to help the Ninja Turtles and their master Splinter. This take on the characters would be utilized in the 2003 Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles cartoon and the 2012 animated series, though the latter used elements of a similar but unrelated character.RELATED: Ice Cube Wants Jackie Chan to Get an Oscar for Splinter Role in TMNT: Mutant Mayhem
