Here is the news item about "Captain America" being retitled. In Russia, South Korea, and Ukraine, the movie will be titled "The First Avenger".
Sort of like the retitling of "Puss in Boots" in Israel as "The Cat from Shrek" to take advantage of the popularity of "Shrek 2". Or as "The Cat in Boots" in the United Arab Emirates because, you know, the word "puss" is naughty ...
Or the retitling in Britain of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" as the "Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles" because ninjas are criminals and it's wrong to glorify them. Never mind that it makes the TMNT nickname meaningless.
