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

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.

Bruce: ...yes.
