The word "the" is among the most common of all the words in all of the English language, the result of which is often the placement of "the" in the title of a work or in the name of a group regardless of the wishes of the people or the person who made it. (This also happens with definite articles in other languages: "le" in French or "der" in German, for instance.) The "The" Title Confusion is when nobody seems to be quite sure whether or not a "the" is required in a title. As a result, merchandise or advertising can sometimes make it seem as if the title is constantly changing, or if there might even be multiple works/groups with the same title. Often Word of God is required to make a final decision on the matter. Further confusion surrounds the question of whether something which doesn't include a "the" in the title officially should be supplied with one when grammatically appropriate. The "United States of America" doesn't have a "the" in the title, but you'd never use it in a sentence without one; by contrast, several bands which don't include articles get very upset when one is used. There are times when a "the" would clash with another article, in which case it's generally accepted that you drop the one in the name; it's "a Strokes song", not "a The Strokes song". In terms of alphabetical ordering, "the" and "a/an" are often ignored, and as such The Godfather should be categorized under "Godfather", not "The". Furthermore, some languages (such as Japanese) don't use articles at all. As such, when translated, the translator will usually add a "the", as just calling, say, a Kaiju movie "Giant Monster Attacks" would be ungrammatical in English (unless of course it's meant to be "attacks, plural, which are perpetrated by giant monsters" as opposed to "a singular giant monster is presently attacking"). In many cases, an author will go ahead and drop the "the" from a title ahead of time, aware that many people would do so anyway just for the sake of brevity. Compare Spell My Name with a "The", when the use of a "the" is insisted upon. |

The World Ends with You is abbreviated in the DS version's manual and the name of a handful of fourth-wall-breaking postgame threads as "WEWY". Most fans ignored this and referred to it as "TWEWY"; the Solo Remix and Final Remix Updated Re-releases ascended this by renaming the threads in question (they didn't have manuals). | |

The Naked City is an interesting case. The movie's title isn't actually shown onscreen, but rather spoken (with the definite article) in producer Mark Hellinger's opening narration. The original poster art omits the article, as does the later TV series adaptation. | |

Many wrestlers from the National Wrestling Alliance and the World Wrestling Federation had a hard time breaking the habit of using "the" when they were in WCW. Bret Hart in particular was notorious for this. Likewise when the World Wrestling Federation changed their name to World Wrestling Entertainment, many wrestlers continued to refer to it as "the WWE," as do many instances on this site. It's still slightly absurd, though: "The... Entertainment" seems redundant, because, it being a collective, abstract noun, there can technically be only one entertainment. 2 Cold Scorpio, having been temporarily Put on a Bus down to ECW in 1998 after a year-and-a-half of primarily Jobbing in WWE as Flash Funk, once referred to the promotion, where had been a regular from 1994-1996, as "the ECW." UltraMantis Black used to do this in his home promotion, referring to it as "The CHIKARA." |

The King of Fighters: When referring to the series, the "The" tends to be dropped by many (i.e. King of Fighters), although the eponymous tournament is usually missing the article as well or just goes by KOF for short. The Massive Multiplayer Crossover Beat 'em Up Spin-Off released between XIV and XV is officially titled The King of Fighters All Star, with All Star sometimes depicted as a single word in all caps ("ALLSTAR"). For convenience, many fans opt to call the game KOF All Star, as did This Very Wiki before renaming the page to the full title. (And that's before you get to the occasional "KOF All Stars" typo, something that TV Tropes also briefly ran afoul of.) |

Basically the same applies to the original German fairy tale: it has no articles whatsoever in German (Nußknacker und Mausekönig), but in the English translation it is usually The Nutcracker and the Mouse King. Made more egregious by the fact that German language, unlike Russian, does have articles, so their omission must have been a deliberate decision on part of the author. | |

For alphabetization purposes, Fanfiction Dot Net omits any "the" at the beginning of a fandom's name, leading to such categories as "Movies -> Lion King" and "Games -> World Ends With You". | |

The Haunted Mansion: The ride's official logo, and the sign on its entrance, includes a "The," but the actual trademark is for Haunted Mansion with no article. Both styles have been used for the film adaptations: the 2003 movie is The Haunted Mansion, and the 2023 movie is Haunted Mansion. | |

(The) Melvins. They played with this on the artwork for A Senile Animal, which actually does put a parenthetical "the" in front of the band name, and similarly renders the album title as "(A) Senile Animal". Their collaborative works with Jello Biafra are officially billed as Jello Biafra And The Melvins, probably just because that flows better as a name. The artwork to Tres Cabrones credits them as Los Melvins, just to add to the Gratuitous Spanish motif. | |

There's often confusion about the subtitles of the other films in the saga as well, since it's somewhat inconsistent whether they include an article or not: it's Return of the Jedi, Attack of the Clones, and Revenge of the Sith, but the rest of the films, including the entire sequel trilogy, begin with a "the". A New Hope is the only one to feature an article other than "the". | |

Likewise when the World Wrestling Federation changed their name to World Wrestling Entertainment, many wrestlers continued to refer to it as "the WWE," as do many instances on this site. It's still slightly absurd, though: "The... Entertainment" seems redundant, because, it being a collective, abstract noun, there can technically be only one entertainment. | |

(The) Legend of Zelda: This sometimes pops up in abbreviations as well: Is it just LoZ or is it TLoZ? The confusion starts here with the Japanese version of the original game, which wrote out the title in English as "LEGEND OF ZELDA." The same goes for a few of the games' subtitles, namely (A) Link to the Past, (The) Wind Waker, (The) Minish Cap, and (A) Link Between Worlds. note Possibly (The) Adventure of Link as well, but it's usually known as simply Zelda II. |

The Lord of the Rings: Despite commonly being abbreviated "LotR", J. R. R. Tolkien's fantasy epic is called The Lord of the Rings. Also happens in-story: when Radagast talks about a land he's heard of called Shire, Gandalf tells him it's The Shire. Nonetheless, this same mistake has been made out-of-story too: the first line of Leonard Nimoy's novelty song "The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins," the opening line is "In the middle of the earth, in the land of Shire," when it should have been "In Middle-earth, in the land of the Shire." |

Batman: Whether anyone refers to Batman as "The Batman" depends on the era of comic books, with the "the" especially ignored during the Lighter and Softer era of the 1960s. It's more stringently enforced for the villains. The Joker and The Penguin are never referred to as anything else in the comics, unless they're being directly addressed. For some reason, though, this convention rarely seems to apply to (The) Catwoman. |

Italian horror-movie soundtrack composers Goblin were inexplicably credited as "The Goblins" on at least three films: Suspiria (1977), Dawn of the Dead (1978), and Beyond the Darkness. | |

Episode IV (A New Hope) had the working title The Star Wars for the first drafts, including the May 1973 story synopsis, May 1974 rough draft, and July 1974 revised first draft. The January 28, 1975 second draft was titled The Adventures of the Starkiller (episode one) "The Star Wars", or, Adventures of the Starkiller (episode one) "The Star Wars", or, The Star Wars - Episode One - "The Star Wars". The August 1, 1975 third draft is The Star Wars – From the Adventures of Luke Starkiller. The January 1, 1976 fourth draft, Star Wars: The Adventures of Luke Starkiller as taken from the "Journal of the Whills" (Saga I) Star Wars was no longer titled The Star Wars, nor was the January 15, 1976 revised fourth draft, which was titled Star Wars, Episode IV: A New Hope, from the Journal of the Whills. | |

The The: Deliberately invoked by the band, which leads to the following joke: A guy in a record store is asked to file all the albums in alphabetical order. He starts by filing them all under 'T': 'The Beatles', 'The Rolling Stones', etc. "No," says his boss. "Ignore the 'the'." Then he gets to 'The The'. Similarly, online music services tend to need to special-case The The. 'The' is usually marked as a 'stop word', a word to be ignored in search queries. If the service is lucky, somebody on the team is aware of The The and they special-case them before roll-out. |

X Minus One's "The C-Chute": The original story is called "C-Chute", but the show's announcer presents the episode as "The C-Chute". The namesake is singular for the room the protagonists are in, but is plural within the ship they're in, so not much is gained by emphasizing the singular. | |

Touhou Project: The first game is titled The Highly Responsive to Prayers, while the third is The Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream, as shown on both games' title screens. Despite this, virtually no one ever includes a "the" when mentioning those games. Even their work pages here in TV Tropes omit it. The second game is even more confusing, because the English half of its title doesn't actually appear anywhere within the game itself. No one is certain whether it should be Story of Eastern Wonderland or The Story of Eastern Wonderland. In this case, its work page does include a "the". The first game in the Windows series is titled "the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil." note Or more accurately "Touhou Land of the Scarlet Devil ~ the Embodiment of Scarlet Devil", with the italicised portion originally in Japanese. Fans typically refer to the games by the part in their native language. Seeing anyone include a "the" when discussing the game is rare, and seeing it with the original capitalisation is rarer still. The series itself can't seem to decide whether it's called "Touhou", "Touhou Project" or "The Touhou Project." TV Tropes itself originally went with the first, then switched to "Touhou Project." |

Match Game is the game show from The '70s that had orange shag carpet, host Gene Rayburn, recurring panelists Charles Nelson Reilly and Brett Somers, and funny questions about Dumb Dora and boobs. The Match Game is its somewhat more staid predecessor from The '60s, with tamer fill-in-the-blank questions, but still hosted by Gene Rayburn. Similarly, the two-short lived revivals in 1990-91 and 1998-99 did not use "The" in the title. | |

Peanuts: It's just Peanuts, not The Peanuts. In the years since Schulz's death, many people in the public and even media outlets have started to call the characters "the Peanuts", even though they were never called that when he was alive ("the Peanuts gang" or "the Peanuts kids" usually being the collective term). Even more confusing, some people have even been known to call the characters "The Peanut Gallery", which is way, way off. | |

TV Tropes has run into this a few times; "The" is usually omitted from a name unless it is a character type (The Dragon, The Pollyanna) or part of a set phrase (The Blind Leading the Blind). Back when character names were accepted as trope titles, "The" was used to distinguish, say, The Ralph Wiggum (a humorously stupid person) from Ralph Wiggum (the Simpsons character). Pages' search-engine descriptions take such forms as "The The Starscream trope as used in popular culture, with a list of examples from all media." Or better yet, for this page, "The The The Title Confusion trope as used in popular culture, with a list of examples from all media." | |

Prince of Persia: With the exception of the second main entry (Warrior Within) and a Turn-Based Strategy spin-off set between the first and second games (Battles of Prince of Persia), the subtitles of the The Sands of Time sub-series all begin with "The": The Sands of Time, The Two Thrones, and The Forgotten Sands. That said, it's quite rare to see the second game referred to as "The Warrior Within". Joueur du Grenier isn't too sure whether the subtitle for Prince of Persia 2 is "The Shadow and Flame The" or "The The Shadow and Flame" because of its weird title positioning. (It's actually "The Shadow and the Flame".) |

Doctor Who: There are numerous examples from across This Very Wiki of episodes that don't start with "The", and episodes that do, being subjected to this trope. Frequent victims include: "Horror of Fang Rock" is frequently prefixed with "The". "Last of the Time Lords" only has one "the" in its title. The list of sources to get this wrong include the back of the DVD box set. "Empress of Mars" was first announced as "The Empress of Mars" when the Series 10 episode titles were released. Only when it aired did the title card make it clear that there is no "the" in the title. |

With the exception of the second main entry (Warrior Within) and a Turn-Based Strategy spin-off set between the first and second games (Battles of Prince of Persia), the subtitles of the The Sands of Time sub-series all begin with "The": The Sands of Time, The Two Thrones, and The Forgotten Sands.

Henry Cow spin-off Art Bears only had a "The" on one limited-edition single at the end of their career, and even that was probably just a mistake by whoever stamped up the labels. The name is meant to be parsed as Art (noun) Bears (verb), which theoretically could still take a "The", but doesn't. | |

The Nutcracker is the popular ballet's traditional English title, but its original Russian title, Shchelkunchik, just translates as Nutcracker since Russian language has no articles. The first ballet company ever to stage it in America, the San Francisco Ballet, has always called it by the latter name, with no "The." Basically the same applies to the original German fairy tale: it has no articles whatsoever in German (Nußknacker und Mausekönig), but in the English translation it is usually The Nutcracker and the Mouse King. Made more egregious by the fact that German language, unlike Russian, does have articles, so their omission must have been a deliberate decision on part of the author. |

The Batman makes a point of keeping the "the" when talking about him. This is to differentiate it from the then-recent DCAU and the Burton-Schumacher movies, which preferred simply "Batman" to the extent that it became a meme ("I am Batman!/I'm Batman.") Conversely, many of Batman's Rogues Gallery are referred to without the article, such as (the) Joker. | |

All sequels of The Omen (1976) drop the article (Damien: Omen II and Omen III: The Final Conflict — which at times drops the "Omen" part as well). | |

The Transformers or just Transformers? Post-movies it seems to have stuck without the "the". The 1986 movie itself however was titled The Transformers: The Movie. | |

Dark Parables: The seventh game of the series is Ballad of Rapunzel and the ninth game is The Queen of Sands. However, people often mix them up, putting a The on Rapunzel and/or removing it from Sands. Also, the first game in the series is Curse of Briar Rose. For some reason, when it first debuted, it was shown in a few places as Curse of the Briar Rose. |

On Wikipedia, battles have sometimes raged over whether to use the "the" in an article title. The Avengers (1960s) (the TV series) has it but The Avengers (the comic book) doesn't. The official Manual of Style says: | |

The first game is titled The Highly Responsive to Prayers, while the third is The Phantasmagoria of Dim. Dream, as shown on both games' title screens. Despite this, virtually no one ever includes a "the" when mentioning those games. Even their work pages here in TV Tropes omit it. | |
