Sometimes I find the English language doesn’t do a good enough job of conveying or emoting. A case in point is demonstrated below. 4 comic book titles translated for other territories. All are well known, iconic characters. All are better represented by their translated titles – check them out;
first up, the Spanish language translation of ‘Daredevil’.
This is a literal Dutch translation of ‘The Avengers’,
and the Dutch strike again, with ‘Spinneman’ aka Spiderman.
Finally, my favourite – the Swedish version of ‘The Incredible Hulk’, simply titled ‘Koloss’, defined by Websters as ‘colossus, jumbo, leviathan’.
Great comic book titles, all very evocative, more so than the English versions in my opinion.
