Talk:Sunspot (Marvel Comics)

message: Your comments about the nomenclatures are wrong. In Spanish Da Costa wouldn't be one word either. For example De la Torre, Del Valle, Lavalle (this one became a single word, we never put capitals in the middle of a word), Del Puerto, De la Rocha, Del Toro or "Mier y Terán". In Italian it's also the same: Da Vinci, Da Angelo, etc. Now that i think about it in French they ise contractions like D'Argeaens, L'Something and is probbably only in English that last names goes MacSomethings or McThat or O'Somebodies, but nope, you will never see 2 capital letters in the sameword in Spanish.

replies: text: Just a sidenote to an otherwise correct mini-dissertation on nomenclature - only names with origins from say, Irish or Scottish, have capitals in the middle, either, in English (MacDonald, for instance, which IRRC means "from the clan of Donald"). It's true that members of those countries also speak English (though they also speak other languages, too), but real "English" names, even when they come from two seperate words, like "Shakespeare", do NOT have random capitals in the middle of a word either, at least not any I've ever seen that have actually come from England/Britain and had Anglo-Saxon origins. Also, I wouldn't count the French names as being smooshed the way "MacDonald" is, as French does that all the time with regular words and phrases anyway; it's not a change in grammar for the sake of nomenclature, it's nomenclature that follows the same rules of grammar as the rest of the language (de la Rosa, for instance, is similarly proper grammar in Spanish regardless of whether you are using it as a name or in a sentence - with each word being seperated). French names are still seperated into seperate words in the way the grammar of the language dictates; "Le'Blanc" means "The White" regardless of whether it's a surname or in a sentence in the title of a book.

message: This article is bad.  Like, really bad.  The whole thing is fixated on whether his name and activities are consistent between writers, and less on Sunspot as a character.  It comes off as extremely defensive and trying to rationalise these inconsistencies.  If I had more time and more working knowledge of the character in question I would clean it up.

message: I don't regularly make changes on this website and I assume that if I just changed the main picture, somebody with a more vested interest in this page who edits it regularly would be annoyed and just change it back, but I think it's worth noting that the current picture is a notably whitewashed rendering of Roberto a black mixed race character. This is enough of an issue that several articles have been written on the subject of Sunspot's whitewashing specifically, at least one addresses this artist specifically.https://medium.com/@LatinxGeeks/the-whitewashing-of-sunspot-ce5c86cc7641https://comicsalliance.com/sunspot-new-avengers-whitewashing/ Like I said, I don't really know what I'm doing here so I'd appreciate if someone could just change it.65.175.159.120 (talk) 06:11, 18 January 2020 (UTC)
