Title

Latest comment: 5 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion

For the US DVD release, the title is specifically Mike Allred's G-Men from Hell. It's presented that way on the front cover and the spine, and on the back cover in quotes, so it's clearly that the possessive is part of the title. Allred talks about the name being made into that here. At the very least, this is an alternative title and should be listed in the lead... but it seems more likely that this should just be considered it's title, and the page moved to that. Even the source we're using on the German release includes the possessive, and while the streaming release is listed under the "G-Men from Hell" title, the title card in the film includes the possessive. Is there any objection to my moving the article? --Nat Gertler (talk) 21:26, 4 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Variety calls it G-Men From Hell: link, and this is the title on the poster (which someone else uploaded – don't know where it comes from). That was probably the title on release. I would just list the possessive as an alternate title, personally. Or stick it somewhere less obtrusive, like the release section, so it won't clutter the lead with trivia, like the DVD release title. This comes up every so often at films like I Come in Peace, where a subset of fans have never even heard of the theatrical title. If you're dead set on renaming the article, I guess you might as well just do it because I don't want to argue about this for a week. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 02:47, 5 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

Yes, but other people might want to have some input, and if I was "dead set" on moving it, I woulda just moved it, rather than opening discussion. I'm not real sure what those posters were used for; the film didn't have a US theatrical release, and despite signing a german distributor, I've not found signs that it was even released there. While it had a comic-con preview and showed at at least one festival, the DVD seems to be the "real" release. --Nat Gertler (talk) 03:20, 5 July 2019 (UTC)Reply

For the nonce, I've added the DVD title to the lede and created a redirect at Michael Allred's G-Men from Hell. In the longer term, I think the move would be appropriate... but also, I suspect few care. --Nat Gertler (talk) 15:10, 12 July 2019 (UTC)Reply
