Hollywood? Her character was named and introduced in Tales of Suspense in 1964. TaskmasterJack Send a noteboard - 08/05/2010 02:18:49 AM
All they did was keep the character true to the source material so that Marvel Comics fanboys wouldn't be pissed about an unnecessary name change. (There is actually a newer Black Widow named Yelena Belova.)

Not that the above paragraph absolves Hollywood of your complaints in a general sense. But they can't be faulted too much for faithfully adapting the secondary characters that Iron Man interacts with.

Perpetuates Hollywood's complete idiocy with respect to anything Russian. Tom - 07/05/2010 06:28:12 PM 466 Views
Who cares? It's Russian. *NM* Kotagg - 07/05/2010 06:45:42 PM 191 Views
I don't imagine I need to tell you they do the same with most other cultures. *NM* Legolas - 08/05/2010 01:03:22 AM 182 Views
I know. On the other hand, as movies become more global they should improve on that. Tom - 08/05/2010 04:32:09 AM 395 Views
Why don't they just do like Team America and Durka Durka their way through the language. *NM* MightyYT - 09/05/2010 05:56:14 PM 181 Views
I could respect that more. Tom - 10/05/2010 03:35:36 AM 359 Views

Yeah, because Hollywood invented Vanko, Natasha, and Chekhov. *NM* Dreaded Anomaly - 08/05/2010 04:39:37 AM 230 Views

You bring up good points about Hollywood's idiocy generally. I don't disagree. Tom - 08/05/2010 02:12:10 PM 430 Views

I didn't really mind Vanko wanting Stark dead, although it was pretty silly. Ghavrel - 09/05/2010 05:29:32 PM 384 Views
