Badger of Basra posted:In those maps where they give direct translations from Chinese or Japanese names for countries (so supposedly the Japanese for United States translates to "shining country" or whatever it is), are they actually understood by Chinese or Japanese people in that way, or are they just picked to be phonetically close to the native name? Like no one is saying the English name for Brazil translates to "bra's ill." Japanese has also used purely phonetic rather than rebus full names for (non-Sinosphere) places since the war, with the pared-from-rebus abbreviations often not even matching the Japanese pronunciation. If the direct meaning or even the old orthography comes up outside of being needlessly Victorian (well, Meiji or Taisho) for style, it's in pop-history mnemonics -to remember the abbreviation-, mostly about Germany having no worthwhile alliances.

Koramei posted:I think looking at the reprehensible things some colonized people do still needs reflection on how those are often things that were enabled only because of their colonizers; way too often you see the argument that "well <colonized peoples> also participated in this atrocity, they're responsible just like <colonizers>." To imply that the periphery in aggregate was equally responsible is basically like saying the serfs of early modern Europe were just as responsible for serfdom as the royalty because the local nobility was in on it.

 And a zoom-in on NYC  I was actually looking for a map of origin stories, because I was remembering how so many origin stories ended up being in the "mystic east". Dr. Strange is probably the most well-known, but I think Dr. Doom got his mask from a bunch of monks in the Himalayas, Juggernaut got his powers from an ancient temple in Korea, Iron Man got his start when he was kidnapped in "Siancong" a pretty clear Vietnam stand-in, and he met his friend Rhodey to become WarMachine after he fought in real-Vietnam, and Mantis was a Vietnamese girl before she became a green space lady. It's not something you'll see a lot of official stuff about because it's dated in both a dated problematic understanding of other regions and in actual history since most marvel characters are like 50 years old, and it's the sort of thing Marvel wants people to think about. There's also characters who change their origin story over time, like I think Wolverine's first expansion (of many) onto his origin was when the X-Men went to Japan and it turned out that Wolverine had some kind of history there. And you'll see that Storm on that map is listed as coming from New York, because after her first origin of just being a lady in Africa (I think Kenya) acting as a god, they gave her an origin of growing up as a street urchin in Cairo, but then they went back even further and said that her parents had actually taken her on a business trip to Africa when they got killed by a collapsing building. Weird stuff. But if you want something more easy to comment on:  https://www.cbr.com/marvel-superheroes-worlds-most-popular/ Although there's probably something screwy going on with metrics here.

I just assumed that there were no heroes related to the Bronx. Or maybe that's outside of the range of areas that this New York City tourism company likes to promote. I know there's heroes associated with Jersey that the map is ignoring. A bit farther north is the X Mansion. What's a good website for checking out city and state borders? I never really know what to do when I just want a simple reference map from the internet. Google maps doesn't like showing borders because it's optimized to show roads instead.

The one marvel guy from France is Batroc the Leaper, and I guess I'm a little surprised that the Abomination was Yugoslavian originally.

So in California do the nuclear targets, high crime anarchy zones, and submersion all cancel each other out, or do you get atomic jetski gangs?

SlothfulCobra posted:Iron Man got his start when he was kidnapped in "Siancong" a pretty clear Vietnam stand-in. Originally, Iron Man's origin story was set in straight-up Vietnam. The change to Sian-Cong is a fairly recent retcon to try and make the comics timeline still make sense - if Iron Man or the Punisher are still young men, they can't be Vietnam War vets, so more recent comics have switched to using a fictional conflict instead. It's been a... controversial retcon; the 'sliding timescale' works better if you don't draw attention to it.

You should definitely take various fake flooding areas/nuclear targets as a “threat” but ignore how this shelter is in the middle of what was formerly (?) a target dense area and still in an area downwind of fallout.

Not to mention immediately downwind of the ash plume from Yellowstone, which for no adequately explained reason is apparently erupting in this scenario. I don't care how fancy your air filtration system is, it's not rated to handle a couple Pompeii's worth of ash just plopping down on top of you.

The idea that big cities would become anarchy zones instead of the center of whatever society that starts rebuilding after a catastrophe is already bad, but you can't have both that and predict nuclear strikes killing most of the population.

I don't think they're predicting all of the things happening at once, they're just showing a variety of potential hazard zones on one map.

It's always the easy way out to take a sea level map and put anything under X sea level as the submersion zone. It takes balls to label most of the largest peaks and the driest deserts in the 48 states as being part of the Submersion Zone, and just to be nice have only half of the Rockies be submerged.
