    Yup. Likewise. Maybe the article I read wasn't allowing for regional variation; American as well as British? So, those statements can't be all-inclusive and definitive.
  2. Ken Aldred
    I always thought it was the latter, until I read that the American pronunciation tends to be Kay-Zar.
  3. Ken Aldred
    And, I've only had to wait 40 years !

    It's possibly a very snobbish pronunciation here, whereas I'm from an area where a lot of hard, sudden glottal stops are used in the accent. Maybe down south somewhere, or Cheshire, maybe? Strangely, it sounds more American to me. I've always said it with a 'noss' rather than 'nose' ending. Occasionally 'nozz'.

    Another classic example is Cat Yronwode, whose surname is apparently pronounced 'Ironwood'.
  6. Ken Aldred
    Same here.

    Thanos being alive at the end of Infinity War, and his inclusion in the later Eternals film, would help a lot. I'm more easily pleased; at this stage I wouldn't mind seeing a few more Celestials.

    These days it would be @TheRealFantasticFour or @ItsClobberinTime
  9. Ken Aldred
    The most popular Eternal, via retcon, is Thanos.

    Yup. I’ll be hitting the comic shops tomorrow to see if I can find some underpriced copies in the bargain bins before the word gets around.

    Makkari was retconned as the Golden Age Hurricane from Captain America Comics 1

    In a sense, you’re not wrong, as it does sound like god complex and needing a session with a psychiatrist.

    I fondly remember a story in which Bizarro Superman kept calling him Greg. Don't blame him.
  14. Ken Aldred
    Just like in 'Dark Side of the Force'. Coincidentally.
  15. Ken Aldred
    One very similar to this. I always thought Magneto's alter ego, Erik Lehnsherr, was pronounced Germanically as 'lanes-her', whereas in the X-Men films it's more like 'len-share'.
  16. Ken Aldred
    I always pronounced T'Challa in a different way to that used in the Black Panther movie. Ch sound as in, for example, chord, rather than Ch as in chat.
  17. Ken Aldred
    Yup. I first learned how to pronounce Magneto while watching that Wings concert on BBC TV in the mid-70s. Not a terribly good song, though.
  18. Ken Aldred
    Just an alien race with the same name.
  19. Ken Aldred
    No. Not related to the Kirby series.

    The thing is, that’s no longer the most inappropriate photo cover I’ve ever seen, now that I’ve been alerted to the existence of an especially-disturbing clown cover.

    One method of compensating for a disturbing clown photo cover is with a bit of on-topic Dave Stevens... j i I hope that makes up for any possible clown-related psychological trauma suffered by boardies. You're welcome.
  24. Ken Aldred
    +1 I thought the Rifleman cover was bad enough, but, introduce a clown into the argument, and it gets much worse.

    I enjoyed it, as it expanded on Kirby's original work, as opposed to Chuck Austen's story a few years before, which read like a poor man's Heavy Metal magazine interpretation.
