BRD - @Krimuk2.0 - yes, MOS:TMSTYLE calls out that stylization may include simple styling, like capitalization changes - Netflix specifically uses the stylization not just in logo, but also in text - refer to KAOS - Netflix and many RS reporting on the show with the same stylization ([1], [2], [3] just to pull up a few), not as just "Kaos", so per our guidelines.
So while all caps is not elaborate, it was done so very intentionally clearly and should thusly be mentioned. Raladic (talk) 06:31, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
"Capitalisation changes" doesn't refer to "all caps". Many films and series have their title cards in all bolds or all caps, such as Joker, which I mentioned in my edit-summary. Doesn't mean we should spoon-feed that to our readers. Krimuk2.0 (talk) 06:35, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nope - since you mentioned Joker - actually that one might be a case where it was just a logo use as TMSTYLE calls out (and so, not a stylization), as the official text use, such as in the Official Trailer by the Studio in the text description below uses “Joker” and “Joker: Folie À Deux”, so that's a case where it was not a stylization. Raladic (talk) 06:37, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The above post is correct per TMSTYLE, and the styling extends past just the title card, as suggested, but is supported by a variety of secondary sources. -- Alex_21TALK06:39, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
That does not mean that it is not stylized; Kaos is the traditional title, KAOS is the stylized title, and both are used. TMSTYLE refers to stylization as the use of alternating capitalization; this conforms with that, and is supported elsewhere. -- Alex_21TALK06:45, 5 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Whichever interview seems official enough, worth noting the creator's own plan was to glide things away from a straight cliffhanger in case things weren't renewed but that ideally his setup was for a three season arc. — LlywelynII12:14, 7 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I wouldn't worry. Someone will renew this for another 2 seasons. It's amazingly clever. (sorry if this comment is out of scope for a wikipedia talk page. I'm not sure what the rules are on talk pages are nowadays. If so, please delete this and then my appologies. Maybe the wikimedia people could to add a "talk" page that is separate from the wikipedia?). Jeff Carr (talk) 04:39, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
