    As time goes on it gets increasingly annoying that out of deference to tradition they keep saying Black Widow's real name is "Natasha Romanoff" and not Natalya Romanova (I mean in-universe I doubt she gives a shit, considering she doesn't remember her parents, but still)

        It's just so clearly a name that was made up by Americans in the '60s who, because it was the Cold War, didn't give a fuck about researching stuff set in Russia Even writing it as "Romanoff" and not "Romanov" feels absurdly old-fashioned today

        (Anyway for those not in the know "Natasha" is a diminutive nickname for "Natalya" -- in Russian the "-sha" is like "-y" or "-ie" in English -- and surnames are gendered)

        In the old days you could handwave this in-universe by saying that upon defecting she would've wanted to Americanize her name and seem "less foreign" But when you update the story from the 1960s to the 2010s this ends up coming off as really dated and silly

        It is kind of sad when you think about it that when Stan Lee was trying to think of names to give Russian characters he obviously just fell back on his high school history class's week they spent on the Russian Revolution

        I mean, there are people named Natasha outright in Russia, the same way people in the US are sometimes named Jenny or Billy.

        The gendered forms of Russian surnames seem to be a thing that completely passes by even comtemporary writers, which is... so bad, considering that research is one Google search away.
