I hate that. Its Captain America. No need to censor the name. I understand they want to make as much money as they want and some countries might not want a movie with a America title but sometimes patriotism should trump money . So says a proud Amrican with family who fought in some of the wars for the freedoms we have. ( Sure we all have family members in the military proteting this great country).

So in the countries where they drop "Captain America" from the title, will they also dub out his name with something like "Hey, you!"?

They have CGI ready to cover the shield with whatever the flag is in the country where that particular print is showing.

 

"Way to go Captain Luxembourg!!!"

I heard about this a month back and thought it was ridiculous.

"COMING SOON TO A THEATRE NEAR YOU!!!!!

 

JULY 4th

Why are people getting their panties in a bunch over this?

 

US movie titles have a long history of not being literally translated when shown on foreign screens - and the same is true for foreign films being shown in the US.

 

"The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", for instance, only carries that title in English-speaking countries - pretty much everywhere else in the world it's known as "Men Who Hate Women" (which is also the title of the original Swedish book). The US publisher thought the original title would be too harsh for American audiences and had it changed.

"Captain America" is......."Captain America."

"The girl with the dragon tattoo," can be "The girl with a tramp stamp," "The girl made a mistake," "Men who love women," what have you. The girl can be from anywhere where, Captain America is from America and has a shield with our colors. And those colors don't run!!

 

I'm just blabbing I don't have true rebuttal, but I do feel it is different and not the best comparison and it's just not right. All these other countries can get their own First Avenger and Captain.

Technically isn't Captain America the captain of the entire continent of America ? hm

Or even South America.

 

And what will they do with Puerto Rico? While not really a state, it is sort of part of America. And yet the Star on his shield and PR's flag are all Red White and Blue.

 

Quite a Conundrum.

Really? That's a terrible title.

Not really, Puerto Rico can fend for itself and find it's own Superhero.

 

And Oldguy......WELL SAID!!

I think it's much more apt when you consider what actually happens in the books :shrug:

It's appropriate for the content of the book.
