Marvel Kills Captain America

Marvel will no longer call Captain America, Captain America.  At least not in Russia or South Korea.  These spineless poonannies will never see my kids paying $4.95 for a damn comic book again.
The film “Captain America: The First Avenger” will have its title truncated to, simply, “The First Avenger” in those three overseas markets, according to Marvel Studios insiders. The choice was made by Marvel, Paramount Pictures’ international team and distributors in those three countries based on market research results. Those involved in the decision are being careful to frame the move as a matter of brand management and consumer awareness and not as a decision tilted by cultural or political winds.


Bullcrap!  They're embarased by America.  No other reason.
