It does bug me that while Wanda is a very Slavic name (of Polish origin), Pietro is a very Romance-language way to say "Peter" (irl you mostly see it as an Italian name) and his name should most likely be "Piotr"

I mean okay I don't expect Stan Lee in the 60s to have been a cultural encyclopedia And it's not that big a deal, there's a huge range of places they could theoretically be from, and according to Wikipedia "Petro" or "Piatro" wouldn't be out of place in Ukraine or Belarus

I guess you could say it's to differentiate him from Colossus in the X-Men, whose real name is Piotr Rasputin But then you look at how many different characters are all named "Peter"

It is kind of funny imagining the meeting where they decided they had to kill Pietro in Age of Ultron because for the next big team-up they couldn't have THREE guys all looking up whenever someone says "Pete"

Replying to @arthur_affect
I always assumed killing him was part of The Deal with Fox. The Wisdom of Solomon kind of thing, where YOU get Wanda and YOU get Pietro

Yeah hence the intensely meta joke of bringing him back but suddenly it's the Fox one now
