      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

          Ugh. Every Spanish-sounding name in US media just flashed in front of my eyes. It's really annoying. Especially today, when you can just google people and see a whole array of real names and surnames. No reason to put random sounds/words together as a wild guess.

          You know a comic-booky one that's too far gone and yet it sounds like nails on a chalkboard every time? Not a person, a place. DC has a fake LatAm country called "Corto Maltese" and I can't get over it.

          Replying to @arthur_affect

          I feel like they should reveal she’s, like, not even Russian I mean, her birthdate is in 1984, so at what point before the age of 9 did she murder all those people specifically for Soviet Russia as she states she did in Avengers

          She turns out to be from an unproduced Borat project.
