Zartan, Zarana and Zandar's articles on Wikipedia

DarkLordMordred · 08-05-2022, 06:11 AM

It also looks like some of the references are wrong. For instance on Zandar's page:

"Zandar speaks between himself and his sister privately with shared, poetical language, echoing each other's words and ideas.[8]", where [8] is G.I. Joe: vol. 2 #8 (September 2013)

However, upon researching vol. 2 #8, Zarana and Zandar don't even appear in the issue and there's no mention of the shared language, so any moderator checking on this for verification will likely side with the person making the edits.

Even more confusing, both the DDP series and the IDW non-Hama series are considered Volume 2. It's a huge clusterf***.

Did they ever actually speak like that in a book? I can't imagine how that would be written.

Remember the scene in Wedding Crashers where Christopher Walken's daughter uses a made up language with her imaginary friend? Maybe something like that.

It wasn't exactly a true idioglossia, but in Fred Van Lente's run, Zarana & Zandar speak almost in poetry between and to each other.

I click on these Zandar threads just out of morbid curiosity now. Like, get some incest therapy or something.

There's seriously some emboldening someone with some type of mania going on here.

@ Mordred - Ahah! It's GI Joe vol 2 #9.

@ Dark - Please stop being an armchair psychologist.

At least he's not being a stool psychologist.

It's like reading tea leaves, butt...
