He's the Leaper, not the Leaner. He's actually landing in the foreground of that shot but the jeep's in a confusing place.

I wish that comics would hire people who actually spoke non-English languages...

For one, in panel 3, Batroc calls the dude my little cauliflower (never mind that he uses "ma" instead of "mon"). "Mon petit choux" would be a better insult and fit better for a guy supposedly from Marseille, France.

And I get that "Mon Capitan" is basically what people think it should sound like but it's "Mon Capitaine"

Proper use of non-English languages is badass :colbert:

I agree with you and it pisses me off every time, but in that issue Batroc specifically mentions that he does his bad French accent on purpose because he thinks it's funny and is annoyed that the new Captain America actually speaks French.

Is it Bucky or Sam?

Also, would have figured Steve at least knew some basic French.

Going by the movies, he understands it but is not a great speaker.

Also, Batroc is apparently from Quebec in that movie, going by the accent :v: (Yes, I know GSP is a Quebecer)

He's practicing for his next job where he infiltrates a group of Quebecois separatists.

Real answer is he probably didn't have a voice coach, he's got so few lines I'd forgotten that he had any.

That's his point though, all of those people fought him but he's never been beaten, because even when he was killed he still got back up.

It's Bucky, the entire issue is really about Batroc and his inner life, but their interactions are still great. One of the the all-time great comics focusing on a villain. And unlike that overrated Taskmaster mini it didn't feel the need to retcon his entire goddamn history.

Yeah they knew 99.9% of the audience would not notice, and the people most likely to notice were going to be watched a dubbed release of the film. Guy could still have tried to do a Parisian accent, even Bart Simpson could do it.

Why would he try a Parisian accent if, in the film, he's Algerian?

An Algerian sounding kind of Parisian is an acceptable level of incorrect, like an African character sounding kind of English. If your African character sounded Texan it would be a lot worse.

Didn’t he just say “gently caress it” against Iron Man, in one of the most bullshit endings to a comics event ever? Assuming you’re talking about Civil War, at least.

I think you are over estimating not only how much anglophones care about French accents, but how much anglophones care about English accents.

And again, it's for a character with like 2 lines.

Makes it harder, I'm sure. Instead of attaching armor plates to other armor plates you got all sorts of straps going everywhere to hold it together.
