Talk:The Toxic Avenger (2023 film)

Switch title to (upcoming film) instead of (2022 film)? Possible merge?
I feel like the page was published with the false release year just because the actual title was already turned into a redirect. Can we merge this article to The Toxic Avenger (upcoming film) for the time being? Iamnoahflores (talk) 20:11, 27 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't think it's a good idea to readd the db-move tag to the redirect after someone removed it. Although I do think that the tagging was legit since there was no opposition after several weeks. Jo-Jo Eumerus (talk) 12:00, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but am I supposed to just wait again to see if anybody opposes? Where were they when I posted on this talk page. Even after reverting, they didn't say anything back, leading me to assume that they ended up agreeing with me. Iamnoahflores (talk) 15:39, 18 March 2022 (UTC)

The Toxic Avenger (2022 film) → The Toxic Avenger (upcoming film) – The film does not have a known release date, not even a release year. Having the title say it's a 2022 film is essentially a lie, and will blatantly misinform readers.

 * Move to The Toxic Avenger (reboot film). Then we don't need to worry about whether it is upcoming, or when. BD2412  T 04:45, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * That doesn't match with the other titles on Wiki; the text to put before "film" has to be the year it comes out, or if it doesn't have one yet (like this situation) it has to say "upcoming". Iamnoahflores (talk) 22:49, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Strictly speaking, though, we don't really know if a release is "upcoming". Sometimes movies are made and for whatever reason are never released. All we can say about this one is that it has been shot. BD2412  T 18:02, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Really tho all future releases that were filmed completely or partially are upcoming, until stated that it's cancelled or something (examples include THE COLL3CTED, and Rust) Iamnoahflores (talk) 18:56, 6 April 2022 (UTC)
 * While technically true, it is exceedingly rare for a film that has already completed production (especially one from Legendary Pictures, who I can't recall ever having shelved an already-produced film) to never, ever be released. "Upcoming" is a very safe bet. Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 19:11, 10 April 2022 (UTC)

 * Support per nom and Wikipedia convention. I do not think this is controversial. 114.125.120.104 (talk) 13:04, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Why is there no requested move notice in the article for the past 9 days? 114.125.120.104 (talk) 13:42, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
 * The RM was improperly closed, the bot removed the notice, and when the close was reverted the bot wasn't. Primefac (talk) 13:44, 9 April 2022 (UTC)
 * Support more general naming with "upcoming" over "2022" due to no release date being verified at this time. No problem with moving it back if a 2022 release date is announced, or to "2023" if the film will be released that late. Erik (talk &#124; contrib) (ping me) 17:08, 9 April 2022 (UTC)

The Toxic Avenger (upcoming film) → The Toxic Avenger (2022 film) – Finally found a source confirming year release. Iamnoahflores (talk) 22:59, 12 May 2022 (UTC)


 * Oppose Something should only be disambiguated by year when it actually comes out. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball and cannot predict if it will actually release on schedule. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 05:51, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
 * It's literally common practice. It's not crystal balling, it's staying up to date and giving the most accurate title. We can always change it if there are delays or other situations. Iamnoahflores (talk) 15:44, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

What do you'll think? Pinging Iamnoahflores (talk) 22:48, 16 May 2022 (UTC)


 * I can see where Noah is coming from. Films that have a scheduled release year get delayed every now and then so it’s too early to tell. SlySabre (talk) 23:06, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I'd say wait for a better source than Bloody Flicks before making the move. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 23:06, 16 May 2022 (UTC)
 * There's also Empire from 2021 which said the film was coming the following year, and Blair's Twitter where he puts the film with "('22)" on his bio. Iamnoahflores (talk) 00:28, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Yeah but that was a brief mention. Blair's Twitter might be enough but there's really no rush. Some Dude From North Carolina (talk) 00:35, 17 May 2022 (UTC)
