The movie CREED about the son of Rocky Balboa's deceased trainer's son, is making it difficult, if not impossible, for the still-vital online Creed fanbase to exchange thoughts and discussion regarding band developments, song interpretation, rumors, non-erotic fanfiction, and deeper insights into the expanded Creed universe. MGM has completely disrespected the Creedmunity by using the name of the still-popular band for their non-Creed related movie and have been stifling conversation by flooding social media hashtags and searches with non-music Creed discussion. MGM should have consulted Creed experts and online leaders before titling this movie. The Creedmunity will not be silenced.

Alternative titles suggested

• Rocky's Creed

• Boxer Creed

• Son of Creed (although, this was the title of a rare 2002 leak of studio demos, the title was never officially used by the band, and thus is not considered canon)

• Apollo Creed's Son

• Rocky: Son of Creed (while this makes it look like it's a reveal that Rocky was Creed's son, this is just an idea and MGM's marketing department can make it work somehow)

• Rocky: The Next Generation

• Creed (not the band)

We're just spitballing here, but hereby grant MGM permission to use any or all of these titles in all territories.

We can make a difference. The online Creed fanbase and the discussion of this movie do not have to be enemies. We can be friends.

However I can guarantee that if MGM does NOT change the title that no self-respecting Creed fan will EVER see this movie, not even on bootleg!!!!!!!!!!
