Shouldn't she have had a Russian accent in The Avengers ? And to think, Kid, she was wandering around Glasgow and you didn't know - doh !!
ReplyDeleteWho says I didn't know, Col? I was the first person she called. ('Though I won't tell you what she called me.)
ReplyDeleteAt first, I thought she should have had a Russian accent in The Avengers, but then I realized it was a sort of catch-22. I thought her American accent seemed incongruous. But, if she had talked like a stereotypical Eastern European spy ("Look, dahlink! Iss moose and squirrel!"), then I probably would have complained, "Surely the KGB would train its agents to speak English without a trace of a Russian accent."

Good thinking, TC. However, in the comics, her name of Madame Natasha would probably have given the game away anyway. When the Iron Man stories were reprinted in a British comic called Fantastic back in the '60s, her name was changed to Natasia - which, I believe, is actually pronounced Natasha.
