Talk:The Death of the Incredible Hulk

message: Spoiler warning:
Ever since I watched this film on its NBC premiere, there's been a question in my mind about it. I've asked this on a message board at the "Comics Should Be Good" site, to no avail, and thought I'd ask here, since if it is correct, it should be in the article. Now the two immediate predecessors to this movie included adaptations of other Marvel Comics heroes, Thor and Daredevil respectively, and this one was initially announced as featuring She-Hulk (not a follow-up to this one that never happened, which is what the article claims--I'll change that after this is done). That, obviously, didn't happen, but what we do have, specifically Elizabeth Gracen's character Jasmin, reeks of being developed from their character the Black Widow, aka Natasha Romanoff. It has long been my understanding that the Widow was forced to work for Soviet intelligence by having her husband's life held over her, eventually learning that her costumed superior IS he, a revelation that gave her the freedom to defect (I admit that her Wiki article doesn't quite jibe with this, but it's not that far off, and I've found some articles here that were so; note my rewrite of the origin of DC's the Creeper). In this film, Jasmin discovers that her superior whom she has never seen and knows only by a code name is the sister who has been threatened to make her carry out her assignments. Add in the black bodysuit she wears in several scenes (compare it to BW's 70s costume), and she is at least as close to Marvel's Widow as the Thor seen in the first of this trilogy was to his comics basis, other than the names being the same in the earlier instance. Was She-Hulk replaced with Natasha, then that property was dropped or withdrawn or something too late for the character to be completely excised, only just enough time for a superficial rewrite to thinly (very thinly) disguise her (the titular event—the Hulk's death—comes out of left field, further supporting the eleventh-hour re-write theory)? Anybody know one way or the other (not that there's much room for doubt on the basic point, i.e., Jasmin = Natasha)? Ted Watson 19:48, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Wægmunding

message: Factual accuracy dispute on section On the ethnic identity of the Wægmundings:
Doesn't sound a reasonable assumption. First, we cannot refer to the Swedish people of today, since such a nationality didn't exist until, say 1400ths (Engelbrecht rebellion, Charles IV Bonde), in embryonic form, not until say the 1100ths... So we may assume:
* geats, either east geats, or west geats, since the competing clans were the Wulfings occupying the east geatish position, west geats remains,
* sviar used to be referred to as Swedes in English, ...
Between sviar and west geats we cannot reasonably choose, since that would be erecting speculation to facts! We should instead choose unknown as the proper choice, not any pseudofact. Said: Rursus ☻ 10:04, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Palnatoke

message: I accidentally bumped the enter key before finishing the comment on a recent edit.
The link to "Asatru" in the paragraph on Optrin af Kæmpelivets Undergang i Nord was misleading. That article is about the modern neopagan religion which used that word for its formal name, not the historical Norse religion. (It may not have been intended as a proper noun in the source, as it is not capitalized there.) I shifted the link to Norse pagan worship, which seems to be the most complete article on the subject. 192.91.172.42 (talk) 23:51, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

message: The conversion table for looking up exchange rates of old Swedish money is very helpful, as is the link to the article about the öre, with its information about the singular öret and plural ören.  This, in addition to the given plural penningar, makes it easier for the reader to subsequently discuss the material accurately.  A helpful addition would be details of the same sort concerning the örtug.  Is there a separate plural form for this word?  If not, it should be spelled out that there is not.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.38.145.150 (talk) 06:29, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk:List of Italian actors

message: Firstly this cannot be a complete list of Italian actors: no such thing is feasible—it would have to include every spear-carrier who trod the boards of the Teatro Olimpico and every forgotten player of the Commedia dell'Arte who appeared at far more rustic venues.
Secondly the description of sources is now thoroughly out of date. No doubt the following statement is true:
:The origin of this list is in collation of actor-stubs that contain reference to the actor or actress being an "Italian actor" or other indicative phrase. It also includes all actors in Category:Italian actors.
But the current list is largely of redlinks.
I am therefore going to remove the ‘complete’ and add . —Ian Spackman 10:59, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

message: Many examples of dialogue from the plays of Harold Pinter could be cited that recall the style of stychomythia. Even more pertinent, I think, is so-called Mametspeak, the way Mamet's characters in scenes of two-way dialogue frequently pick up and repeat words spoken by the other, are interrupted, speak in half-sentences, engage in rapid argument or alternate insults. But perhaps these are more matters of coincidence than examples of an ancient dramatic technique consciously preserved or revived.Prohairesius (talk) 22:36, 26 August 2012 (UTC)

message: This is a comment regarding: "The Westrogothic law reminded the Geats that they had to accept this election: Sveær egho konung at taka ok sva vrækæ meaning Swedes have the right of choosing and deposing the king."
It is difficult to know if the word "Svear" refers to Swedes (including Geats) or only to people from Svealand (now a part of Sweden). According to the Swedish version of this page, recent research shows that the word "Svear", at the time when the Vestrogothic law was written, refered to all people living in Sweden who identified themselves as beeing Swedish citizens, and to the original meaning of the word "sve" = us, our, we ...thereby including also Geats living in south Sweden.

Talk:Ripple marks

message: After exploring the ripple marks entry, I would very much like to see the title and terminology changed from "ripple mark" to "ripple" to conform to modern usage. Although the two words are considered synonyms by some, the formal definition of the word (Jackson, 1997) indicates that tha the word "ripple" refers to the actual bedform and "ripple mark" for a surface that has a texture attributed to ripples. Using the word for the bedform would be preferable, because the terminology could then be parallel for all bedform entries: ripples, dunes, upper plane beds, antidunes, chutes and pools, etc. For example, there are dunes (bedform) and cross-beds (sedimentary structure), but no such thing as "dune marks."
The suggested change would bring the entry in line with the terminology used in:
* Jackson, J.A., 1997, Glossary of Geology (4th ed), American Geological Institute, Alexandria, VA, 769 p.
* Prothero, D.R., and Schwab, F., 2004, Sedimentary Geology (2nd Ed.), Freeman, New York, 557 p.
