Captain America Movie

"The First Avenger" tag is done for nothing more than to concretely link this movie with The Avengers, nothing more or less. Studio Execs like to assume the general public are morons, so they offer unnecessary crutches such as that overly long title to ensure they get your movie dollars.

to be perfectly honest though, the general public is pretty stupid.

Gonna have to agree with this.

Complacent too. They go hand in hand.

comic book fans are a huge part of this problem...look at loeb's work which has been terrible recently but top selling. i can't really blame hollywood for underestimaing intelligence and slapping on "the first avenger" into the title. is it clunky? yes. but does it spell out exactly what they want? yes.

Same goes for calling it "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" when it should have just been called "Wolverine".

I still stand by my "movie title legalities" comment earlier. I recall hearing that Fox HAD to include "X-men" in the title or else they could loose the franchise. After a period of some many years without an X-men movie active production the rights revert back to Marvel. If they had simply called it "Wolverine" Marvel could claim it wasn't an X-men movie and take it back. So I think that the production company still has copyright the movie title "Captain America" and without adding something they could sue marvel over it. Just like how Marvel had to name the one film The Incredible Hulk instead of just Hulk. Because thinking the audience might be too "confused" just sounds like a juvenile idea.

To be fair the Incredible Hulk was the perfect title for it.

Yeah, it fits, but Cap does have something like "The Amazing Spider-man" or a tag line. I would prefer something like "The Living Legend" over First Avenger

No his is just "Captain America", and since this movie takes place in WWII he can't be a legend yet.

Bah, technicality. Though the movie is about how he becomes a legend. But it should be something along those lines. A phrase that is mixed with his personal mythology.

Actually, the "First Avenger" tag was probably for the audience outside of the US.

They need to get rid of the "First Avenger" thing. Cap wasn't even a founding member of the Avengers.

Actually, Cap was given the status of "Founding Member". It's why he's treated as one.

No it isn't. If so, in America it'd merely be "Captain America", and in foreign markets it'd be "Captain America: The First Avenger", as opposed to just being the latter all over. Movie titles are different all the time between the US and other countries...the fact that so far its the same means the studio execs think we're all equally retarded, no matter what country we come from.
