Hi Delence, long time no see!

Yeah, this is probably a "Seu Crayson's" translation, and regarding the "A batalha Final" it means The Final Battle, as said above, I wander why "Final" though.

Our American friends probably won't understand the "Seu Crayson" part, well it is not important anyway... it is a comedy character from a TV show.

Good to hear from you again!
 
Well, it is the INITIAL battle for Blair, so it makes even less sense. But the sub-titles are always dumb here. JFK became JFK: The question that won't shut up.
 
Oh, some sources said the Kilrathi wanted to destroy the universe. They are that evil.

Hey Guilherme, how's things.
 
Well, Wing Commander: Prophecy was marketed as "The Ultimate Space Combat Simulator" or some such...except for, you know, the one that came after it...
 
Hehe, I think it was even more awkward than that -- 'The Ultimate Sci Fi Combat Simulation'.

(Don't tell the Halo guys.)

They even featured an in-game in-universe simulator game.
 
"In Portuguese speaking countries, the movie got an official subtitle: A Batalha Final."

Not in all Portuguese speaking countries. In Portugal the title was "Wing Commander - Comandante de Esquadrilha", that means, well, Wing Commander (or squadron leader). :)
 
It's common to have redunctant subtitles, like "O Pequeno Stuart Little", which means The Little Stuart Little.
 
Yeah, Comandante de Esquadrilha is the best translation for "Wing Commander" in portuguese... considering how we don't have a perfect match for "wing" in this particular context.

There's that old joke about how the movie "Psycho" became "The son who was the mother" in portugal. I don't know how true is that, though.
