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)

(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.

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.
