I don't get why this wasn't called 'John Carter of Mars' anyways, stupid disney.
After watching the movie, I understand. It wasn't about him being "of Mars", it was about him becoming it. The title screen at the beginning which mirrored the one at the end showed that. I actually appreciated it after that.

And apparently all of the marketing, including the name change, was done by the director, Andrew Stanton, not Disney.

I enjoyed the end title reveal, but I think it did far more damage than it was worth. The movie should have been called "John Carter and the Princess of Mars" and they still could have done the "John Carter...waitforit...of Mars" bit at the end.
