The correct pronunciation of Mjolnir.

Does that count?

Nidavellir is about 10 times more difficult.  
He doesn’t even get close.

It took me a while to realize McFarlane hid Felix the cat in lots of his work...which is funny because for the longest time I wondered why he was on the cover of ASM 320....

In my head it's M (uh) (reen) er

Without the 'r' at the end the word is pronounced muh-reen. With the 'r' it becomes mare-in-er.

Another way to look at it; Navy personnel are assigned to submarines, not sub-marines. The hyphen is the difference.

In the 90s it took me a couple of years to recognize Liefeld was a hack.

The Punisher would have been deaf since the 1970s.

I’m pretty sure I remember reading that Bill Everett said it was to be pronounced like Sub-M(are)(in)er.

Whenever I’ve watched a World War 2 documentary about the war at sea and German U-Boats and their  submariner sailors were mentioned, the name was always pronounced this way.

Exactly the same time period during which Everett created Namor.

In the 1970s it took me the time spent looking at a couple of pages of Frank Robbins art during his Marvel phase to realise he was hacking it.

Spider-Man reveals his secret identity in public the very first time he's shown.

I love this cover...first appearance of Medusa, the color scheme, however I've always wondered how the Trapster (aka Paste Pot Pete) could be encircling Ben's wrists with his marvelous adhesive. From my perspective, Ben is standing inside the room, yet his arms are outside of the window of the FF's skyscraper headquarters. The window pane is shown (like the other window) by the slanted lines indicating the glass.

I took issue with it too, but just above Benn's shoulders is "wood" like the window is raised. Why we don't see the same wood paneling in the adjacent window for contrast I do not know. Was it normal back then for "all" windows to be able to be raised? One would assume.

T.V. and such would have us believe that from the time period, so now I "take issue" with the window the sandman is opening or removing without the window working that way

It took me a few years to realize that if you want to have any comics worth selling, make sure they are CGC slabbed.

 

I know this is funny but it's true.

 

Read comics, enjoy comics, collect comics... get signed comics. But if you want to SELL comics, make sure they are CGC cased.

Acceptable if it’s an actual Chinese pronunciation.  As a Brit, Shong sounds more like an Americanism.

It's the Chinese pronunciation.

I’ve only just noticed Medusa’s hair.

Is it attached to something out of shot, a helicopter, perhaps?

I imagine a flag pole, the 3 stooges were always hanging from them

Kay-Zar. Again, I think that came from a mention on a 90's cartoon (but not an appearance, sadly) so I couldn't say where or when, but I think I recall it being pronounced in that manner. 

C'mahn, trust me, I got Sub-Mariner right!
