Talk:Danny the Street

We need to be clearer about "speak"

The article says "Danny cannot speak..." but then "He speaks English, heavily flavored with Polari". I think the intention of the latter phrase is that Danny's visual/written communications are in English+Polari. If that's the intention, I'd suggest the latter sentence instead read "In these messages, Danny communicates in English, heavily flavored with Polari...". I'd change it myself, but it's been a very long time since I read the comic. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 22:37, 6 January 2018 (UTC)

Gendered nouns in the comic and TV series

In the comic (vol 2, issue 36, page 6 and onwards) Danny is identified as a "he", with multiple references made about Danny being a transvestite by dressing traditionally masculine shops in caricatures of feminine shops. As far as I am aware his male identity has never been changed in the comic. In the TV Series Danny is explicitly introduced as being gender-queer.

As such, at this time. I propose that the correct gender nouns are "He" & "They" for references to the comic version and "They" for references to TV version.

Locations

In Doom_Patrol_(TV_series), Danny_the_Street is constructed from fragments of real locations. I am pretty certain I see parts of the 3400 block of Sunset_Boulevard in Silver_Lake,_Los_Angeles, and there is a symbol-only "No U-Turn" sign on Danny - These signs were used in combination with various "No Cruising" signs in the 1990's to make it easier for the police to issue a citation for cruising (Specifically on Griffith_Park_Boulevard, for example). I am sure that there are other parts of Danny that are real locations from other places - I see things that look like West_Hollywood, for example. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:6AE5:2510:0:0:0:43 (talk) 04:58, 20 October 2021 (UTC)
