Creed Fan Launches Petition to Change Rocky Film Title
One really devoted fan of the God-awful rock band Creed (see what we did there?) is really pissed off that MGM Studios’ 
forthcoming Rocky film is sharing the name of a band that hasn’t been relevant for what feels like an eternity.
As a result, this individual is taking his cause higher by launching an online petition on Change.org. His statement reads:
“The movie CREED about the son of Rocky Balboa’s deceased trainer’s son [Editor’s note: he’s actually the son of Balboa’s one-time opponent and eventual supporter.], 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.”
Wait, there’s a Creedmunity? Hmm. Maybe it’s time to shutdown the Internet and re-think it.
The petitioner is hoping to gather 100 signatures of support, which may be tricky, since there’s likely less than 75 actual Creed fans still in existence.
To his credit, he’s offered MGM some new movie title suggestions, including creative gems like Apollo Creed’s Son, Son of Creed and Rocky: The Next Generation.
We hope this is a joke.
