Talk:Captain Britain

message: The character was relaunched, in a redesigned costume, in the Marvel Superheroes anthology title, starting with issue #377 (September 1981). The relaunch was initially written by Dave Thorpe and illustrated by Alan Davis, who redesigned the costume at editor-in-chief Paul Neary's behest. Neary's chief concern was the original costume's lion chest emblem; though the emblem is a heraldic symbol, it is better known in the UK as a sign to denote the quality and freshness of eggs
Amusing stuff. Who made this up? Surely they were yolking?
I have been eating eggs in the UK for 50 years without consciously noticing the lion symbol - I may be unusually unobservant but I’d scarcely say it was better known than the heraldic symbol (such lions are part of the royal coat of arms, for instance); but then as https://www.egginfo.co.uk/british-lion-eggs indicates it was only introduced in 1998 it can scarcely have influenced this art decision in 1981.

replies: text: Old topic I know, but seeing as I'll be adding it in when I'm happy with the rewriting but it had been used by the Egg Marketing Board between 1956 and 1971, stopping shortly before the start of OP's egg-eating career, and has been mentioned by Alan Davis in at least one cited interview. Given that it's not unequivocally, factually wrong as the logo had been used on eggs even if it was a few years before the strip and there's a source referring to it the eggnedote will be going back in unless there's some counter source where someone specifically calls Davis out for lying about it. Be a heck of a strange thing for the guy to make up, though. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 14:41, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Scrambled eggs 

message: According to this article here from The Hollywood Reporter at the bottom Henry Cavill expressed interest in portraying Captain Britain. Is that something worth noting in the film section? 0Detail-Attention215 (talk) 22:57, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Lots of actors say these kinds of things and lots of rumors are about these kinds of things, so this isn't notable. InfiniteNexus (talk) 04:30, 6 June 2022 (UTC)

replies: text: And that's perfectly fine. You asked a question, so I answered. Not sure what you mean by that comment. InfiniteNexus (talk) 22:55, 11 June 2022 (UTC)

Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion. 
The result of the move request was: not moved. There is a split proposal ongoing, which would be more beneficial than just moving.

replies: text: Captain Britain →  – "Captain Britain" title has been used by a variety of characters (as well as the Captain Britain Corps) and is no longer used by Brian Braddock, who is the subject of this article. This article should be moved to "Brian Braddock," while "Captain Britain" should be either a disambiguation page, or an article about the publication history of the moniker itself (ie: Robin, Captain Marvel, Batgirl, etc.) Pibbs (talk) 19:07, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Requested move 18 July 2022 

message: He's Captain Avalon now. He even admitted it himself. Betsy is Captain Britain, Kwannon is Psylocke. Gotta get with the times Wikipedia. Don't let the angry misogynistic chuds keep us in the past. Captain Britain is a woman and a mutant. 2607:FEA8:BFE0:D400:6D91:CCA0:AA40:22F7 (talk) 18:29, 7 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: You'll be happy to hear that the old Captain Britain article has been split into two: one article for the moniker (with subsections for each of the three primary characters to use the title in publication) and corps, and one article specifically for the Brian Braddock character. If you'd like to help our cleanup efforts, the section on the corps requires some substantial work. Pibbs (talk) 15:34, 26 August 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  That's not his title anymore 

message: The section on the Corps requires significant cleanup. The prior version was excessively long, and so I've streamlined it a bit, however statements lack proper citation. If anybody is particularly knowledgeable about older Captain Britain and Excalibur, any help updating this section would be greatly appreciated. Pibbs (talk) 20:57, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I think CB is next on my hitlist. The Corps list is especially on the hitlist, it needs to be merged into one collapsible table at most given how little actual information there is on 95% of them beyond "is an alternate version of Captain Britain". Strongly feel also that all but a brief overview of Brian, Betsy and Kelsey or whatever her name was should be on their own pages, with this one dealing more with the overarching history and non-fictional information. I think I've pulled together enough sources to map something out, might take a few days though. BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 23:17, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
thread_title:  Captain Britain Corps - Cleanup Effort 

message: I believe Trimpe is on the record as saying he didn't create the character's costume, and that who did is officially unknown (but speculated to be JR Sr). While Herb did obviously draw the character's debut, does that really make him co-creator? BoomboxTestarossa (talk) 13:58, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
