loved the Russian mobs


Big, brutish, unsecure, dumb ... and so ... far from reality, like everything in a superhero movie.

But still hilarious ...

They are not all Russian - a bunch of Slavic languages was spoken.

reply

So, Russian adjacent? For most people that is the same thing.

reply

Not quite. Russian is kind of different from other Slavic languages. Most Ukrainians would easily understand Poles or Slovakians. A Russian could but you have to really concentrate and there would be a lot of guessing.

reply

What I meant was that most people (Like Americans and such) think Russians and Ukrainians are not all that different.

reply

You might be right but how many people do you think will be able to tell Slavic languages apart?

Specially the ones like Russian, Ukrainian, Belarus, etc.

Anyway, that was not the point.

Are you concerned about accurate Russian mob representation?

reply

Nope, why would I be? They are one of the comic relief instances. And that’s one thing I like about the show, it’s very close to a comedy …
