I honestly don't think Reed Richards and Tony Stark should be allowed to communicate with each other, since it always leads to terrible, terrible decision making, and look Tony Stark was at his most sympathetic when Reed Richards has disappeared from the universe (well at least until Stark got blown up). I can't even remember which horrible decision this was, I'm guessing towards the start of Hickman's Avengers, so probably the decision not to tell anyone else about incursions (including the literal dozens super geniuses running around) and build weapons of mass genocide instead?

On the other hand, I'd be pretty annoyed about it if I was a broody looking deaf, dumb or even just ASL fluent actor who'd auditioned for the role

I think that's the start of Civil War. Black Bolt is basically saying that there will be violence (fist) brought against them (you and you) before it is resolved.

Takezio posted:...Okay, what other actual options are there? The other criticisms, yeah, I get those, but....What's wrong with signing? Seriously? A lot of Black Bolt's power as a character is his ability to command you-seriously-don't-want-to-gently caress-with-this-guy-because-he-will-end-your-world level respect with only a look or the most basic hand gestures. Giving him more complex communication options makes Black Bolt less interesting. In my completely meaningless random internet guy opinion, it's a bad decision on the part of the production team. Of course, it also makes Black Bolt MUCH easier to write, which is clearly the hope. I don't imagine they have writers good enough to support a willfully mute main character for any length of time.

You're wrong though because the current Black Bolt book that has him talking is the best book I'm reading right now.

Every issue of Black Bolt has been very atmospheric to read through. It's a fantastic read. I'm not sure if that would really come through from random pages posted though, but I'm pretty eager to read it each month.

I have to say, 1960s Dutch publishers were pretty crappy at coming up with logos. It looks like the art was recolored as well. I guess Marvel just sent over copies of the original b&w pages.

Joop is what they're calling "Joe." So, just "Spider-Man: Versus Joop," or, as we learn further down the page, "very ordinary Joop" ("just a guy named Joe," of course, in the original).

I choose to believe Lobok anyway, as it implies that there are Average Spider-Men and leaves things vague about whether this Spider-Man is above or below average. He is merely Not Average.

I did see Joop the second time and didn't think my idea was in all seriousness actually that nutty because I thought that text box said something like "Just An Average Guy!" Otherwise I didn't get how the word could refer to that issue's story and somehow also be in the masthead describing Spider-Man. Didn't even think it was a proper noun because everything's capitalized.

Doc Hawkins posted:I didn't know JudgeEarth had off-world colonies. In what way are they even worse? There are also alien races who occasionally show up in Mega City 1, to such an extent that it's not unusual. Generally they are jerks. I also remember that there were frequent enough mention of the Mega Cities having off world armies involved in far flung wars (highly implied that they are out on foreign planets blowing up the natives and taking their stuff.) In fact after one of the last big events blew up most of the population of Mega City One, they had to call back a whole load of the troops to maintain law and order. The big takeaway was that soldiers are really good at military actions. But awful at policing because they don't have the training on how to interact with communities and prevent crimes. Apart from the "use gun on man" method.

If we're talking about bad localization, Spider-man was originally known in France as "L’Araignée" (The Spider). That's fine, really, "L'Homme-Araignée" is too many syllables to be catchy. The problem came in the 90s when the localized the Fox cartoon and decided to rechristen him "Speeder-man", which is Spider-man read phonetically in French. It was surreal and I have no idea why they went for that, especially since the 60s cartoon had already used "L’Araignée". I think Speeder-man is still his localized name to this day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZT924nUtVQ&t=18s

In Spider-Man versus Wolverine (was it "versus"?), where Peter Parker goes to Berlin without his costume, he winds up getting one from a costume shop that says "DIE SPINNE" on the back.

If I'm not mistaken, Dutch localization (post-Spinneman) removed the hyphen from Spider-man, for some reason.

To me the funniest Batman name will always be the Swedish one... It simly means "Bat", but to my German ears it sounds like "Leder" (leather) and "Lappen" (an old cloth used for cleaning).
