Captain America Gets Title Change Due to World Sensitivities
These are challenging time for America.
And challenging times call for heroes. Like Captain America.
But because these are also sensitive times, even heroes need to change their names.
Thus, Marvel Studios’ Captain America: The First Avenger is undergoing a title change when it rolls out in Russia, Ukraine and South Korea this summer, where it will be called simply The First Avenger.

Wow! Talk about stupid!
Retarded.
Betcha it doesn't matter spit to audiences anywhere. They just want a good action flick with shit getting blowed up real good. Hollywood librul wimps, FEH! What a joke.
But it won't matter at all if the movie kicks ass, which it still seems on target to do just that.
Wonder how many people will think he's John Steed's predecessor.
Ooooh, approximately: nobody.
"The First Avenger" is a meaningless title. Americans might know
The Avengers, but Russians? Ukrainians? Oh please, they're not that familiar with the intricacies of American pop culture.
I used to read that comic assiduously, but I know very well that it's not exactly like
Star Wars in the familiarity stakes.
The title will neither hurt nor help. If the movie kicks butt, word of mouth will keep it going.
"Captain America" gets your attention. Is that good or bad? What does the buzz say? If the buzz is good, you go.
"The First Avenger" means nothing. Definitely bad - the first job of a title is to get noticed. But if the buzz says good, you go.
