The Avengers The Avengers promotion in Hong Kong

[docdoc]

Not sure if I should post it somewhere else, here it is anyway

I'm having holiday in Hong Kong and the promotion have already started. I can see the posters everywhere, so excited!!

The release date in HK is April 26, that's April 25 in U.S time!! Too bad I won't be here by then!!!!! damn it!! I live in New Zealand and I have to wait til May 19 WTF!!?


(I didn't take the Loki/Nick Fury one, coz the first time I saw it I felt a little awkward to take its photo in public, then I was like fxxk it wth)

LOL, it's funny how they translate Dr. Banner/Hulk name in Hong Kong, calling him "transforming heroic doctor".

Btw, they have a Facebook page for Hong Kong: Facebook

I know they were going for a dynamic shot, but I don't really like how half of Cap's face is covered by his arm.

That sounds like a character subtitle for a He-Man figure.

BANN-ORR: Heroic transforming doctor

Finally got the last one, it's really easy to find it coz it's like EVERYWHERE!!

This was the first one I saw and I was like OMFG!! In HK, promotions usually won't get start til 3~4 weeks before the release date, now it's still got 2.5 months away and the avengers are everywhere!

If you realize how small this city is, the ratio's pretty much seeing one poster pre street in New York, which is just crazy

close look for the thor/cap

Are they all next to the exact same ad?

nah it's alrite~ it's just not completely true, but I also thought that was true until recently.

Dumb names are just for the pirate copies, officially the chinese titles are the same as in english, in China, The Avengers is "The Avengers", same.

On the other hand, Hong Kong has a completey different culture than China mainland (coz HK was ruled by england, suppose everybody knows), and they always makes some other different titles up just to make it sounds cool in chinese...business purpose. In Hong Kong, it is "Team Avengers".

It's like.....The Dark Knight's HK title = Batman: God of Night, in China it's just "Batman: The Dark Knight"
