Captain America: The First Avenger v.s. The First Avenger

     It was announced earlier today that Captain America: The First Avenger will be the title for the movie globally except for three countries in which it will be titled simply The First Avenger -- Russia, Ukraine & South Korea.  I would like to give a round of applause for everyone except those three countries.  Now the question I have pertains to the dialogue.  They obviously took the route of taking out Captain America from the title so are we to believe they are going to also omit his name from each bit of dialogue addressing him as "The First Avenger" or "Avenger" or "Captain" or will they address him as "Captain America"?  Maybe the dialogue will go something like this "Hello, I'm Captain *******" or "Thank you for saving us Captain *******" or my favorite "Curse you Captain *******"  Why show a movie that is obviously American, only to change the name of the movie but still the title character is dressed basically in U.S.A colors?  Why even show the flick?  There is no sense in altering the title if said three countries hates our country only to have a character representation of our country pre-dominantly throughout the movie.  If you don't like our country then why even show the film at all?  We're not forcing you to take the movie, yet you decide to shorten the name of the film to exclude the main character's name.  Would you rather we call it Comrade Russian?  Captain Ukrainian?  Captain Korea?  I know I have been ranting on and on but honestly if you don't want Captain America in the title of the film then why would you want to watch a movie about Captain America?  That's all I have for you today my little gamma radiated freaks but until next time this is Bobby telling you to Shield Up!
