I literally just heard about this -finger on the pulse!
I've no huge fondness for the series but throwing out mutant surely reduces the hero by a large margin too, as I understand, the origin went something like;
They were thrown/flushed away, abandoned by their human owners.
Poisoned and mutated by Humans and their poor environmental stewardship.
Then, despite being abandoned, mutated and rejected still by humans they love and fight to protect them, seeking no reward.
That heroic little story has seemingly been replaced with;
Something
Aliens on Earth
Fighting because... Michael Bay film?
Hopefully he'll remake Rocky next:
Born into a rich and successful family the billionaire Rocky Balboa (Channing Tatum?) takes up boxing -using the latest and greatest in sports science- he's started his own boxing promotion and is about to defend the title he awarded himself...
The big fight would just be him pounding his opponent (played by Rick Moranis) to death in the ring as the crowd all cheer him.
