Responding to Geoffrey Thorne's latest interview about X-Force

In a totally sane way.

Are you serious? Forge is getting proper character development?

Wait, are you saying that...the book is built around Forge?

We are talking about the same Forge, right? The dude with the tech and the shorts? Pervs over Storm every chance he gets? That Forge?

ARE YOU ACTUALLY TRYING TO KILL ME?

Also, can we talk about...

Is this a joke? Or did my therapist tell you I needed dopamine?

Give me a minute.

*breathes into a paper bag*

So 2 of my favourite characters ever are at the core of a book, getting long overdue development and working in tandem?

How can I send you flowers, Geoffrey Thorne? Or do you prefer chocolates? Taylor Swift tickets?

If you make them kiss I will pay off your student debt

In the book Dolda Gudar, which is altogether an excellent read about the translated and untranslated literature in Swedish cultural history, Nils Håkansson at one point describes contemporary criticism of translated drama and poetry in 17th c Sweden. A critic argues that the Swedish language is far too poor to portray the romance of foreign literature without making a mockery of it. Håkanssons response to this is essentially that it may very well have been true at the time, because the form and subject and expression was still rare in native Swedish literature, meaning that those translations were essential in bringing that nuance to the language. A good effort of translation (and translating from a range of sources) is in this argument essential in broadening the capacities of language.

the thing you need to realize about localization is that japanese and english are such vastly different languages that a straight translation is always going to be worse than the original script. nuance is going to be lost and, if you give a shit about your job, you should fill the gaps left with equivalent nuance in english. take ff6, my personal favorite localization of all time: in the original japanese cefca was memorable primarily for his manic, childish speaking style - but since english speaking styles arent nearly as expressive, woolsey adapted that by making the localized english kefka much more prone to making outright jokes. cefca/kefka is beloved in both regions as a result - hell, hes even more popular here

Buck CLINGS to people. He got scared Taylor would leave, he asked her to move in. He got scared Tommy would leave (like how Tommy left Abby, like how Abby left him), he asked him to move in.

At the well, Buck tried to bury himself with Eddie too. After the shooting, he despised himself for surviving without Eddie.

But after the well Eddie SAW how tightly Buck holds onto people and saw how he would probably rather die than be left behind.

AND HE PUT BUCK IN HIS FUCKING WILL AND HE ESSENTIALLY LEGALLY GRABBED HIM BY THE SHOULDERS AND SAID "YOU MATTER TO ME AND YOU ARE STAYING NO MATTER WHAT BECAUSE YOU CAN STAY BEYOND ME".

And when Buck was let go again (in 8x06), he KNEW to find Eddie and that there was a space where he could settle and be held without asking.

No explanations because Eddie has told Buck he can hold his hand gently and that he can trust that Eddie isn't letting go, he is meeting Buck where he's at always.

The tenderness in knowing that the door will be answered and having no expectations of the person on the other side other than to meet them exactly where they are at, because they are fully and completely enough as they are.

Cole also has a uselessness thread that season with all the nightmares about letting down the team

Lloyd feels useless when he loses his powers in season 9

Pixal feels useless coming out of the computer in season 8

You could say Jay feels useless towards the end of season 6

Zane went through his self worth usefulness arc back in season 4

There’s a lot of unuseful feelings emanating from the group...

Isn't it great how the Smith siblings both have a fear of being useless :D /j

I'm just watching the secrets of forbidden spinjitzu and in part one you have Kai dealing with his powerlessness being all like.

"Im useless without my powers."

And then Lloyd is just like "your not useless!"

And then in the ice chapter ITS THE SAME THING! But with Nya. And when Nya mentions she feels useless, Lloyd says it again.

"YOUR NOT USELESS!" But this time he sounds so pissed.

I swear, Lloyd is just so done with them at this point.

considering they were palm sized as babies, i like to think they stayed pretty small until about their tweens when the human hormones kicked in and they all suddenly shot up
