Line 8: If such a title has a subtitle, more often than not it will be simply an expansion of the initialism in question. Note that ''acronyms'' written as one normally capitalized word, such as "Scuba" or "Gestapo", do not count as example of this trope. Titles that simply ''include'' an initialism (''[[Mrs. Frisby and ~~The~~the Rats of NIMH]]'', ''[[The Man ~~From~~from ~~UNCLE~~U.N.C.L.E.]]'') don't fit in here either. Often overlaps with [[Team Title]] or [[Vehicle Title]]. Sometimes also with [[Fun ~~With~~with Acronyms]], though usually it's because the initialism in the title is already the name of something within the work itself. This is so common for names of companies, organizations, software and industry products that there's no point in listing them, apart from when they're repurposed as names of works. {{examples}}▼ ▲{{examples}} == Anime and Manga == * ''[[FLCL]]'' Line 22: * [[DC Comics]] titles ''L.E.G.I.O.N.'' and its successor, ''R.E.B.E.L.S.'' * ''[[Disney Comics\|W.H.A.D.A.L.O.T.T.A.J.A.R.G.O.N.]]'', a story by [[Don Rosa]] * ''[[~~WITCH (Comic Book)~~W.I.T.C.H.\|WITCH]]'', and its [[~~WITCH (Comic Book)~~W.I.T.C.H.\|Animated]] [[Animated Adaptation\|Adaptation]]. == Film - Animated == Line 29: == Film - Live Action == * ''B.A.P.S.'' * ''[[~~CHUD~~C.H.U.D.]]'' * ''[[~~DARYL (Film)~~D.A.R.Y.L.\|DARYL]]'' * ''[[~~FIST~~F.I.S.T.]]'' * ''R.O.T.O.R.'', a really bad 1989 knockoff of both ''[[The Terminator]]'' and ''[[~~Robo Cop~~RoboCop]]''. * ''S.W.A.L.K.''
