Zangief was never a bad guy but American directors and cartoonists made it that because he was Russian he just *had* to be evil, which was a bunch of BS.
@reivenlocke Keep in mind that the character of Zangief was created when the Soviet Union was around, and since we were political enemies (me being an American), of course they "had" to create a bad guy out of him. You do not have to agree with it, but that's what happened.
Yes, but the USSR of 89 - 91 was not the USSR from before that time as Glasnost was the face of the new Soviet Union when Gorbachev came into office and he became a positively lauded politician in the U.S. and the west. They definitely weren't thought of as the big bads they were in the past by the time '91 rolled around.
@reivenlocke It's true that they lost their "bogeyman" status after 1989, but it was still looked upon with suspicion. We may never know what they could've been since 1991.
I can't believe that Zangief is the most eccentric character of all. He has the same clothes in every story. Also, he makes a fool of himself in front everybody showing not much brains.
Я не могу поверить в Зангиев является наиболее эксцентричный характер для всех. Он имеет такую же одежду на каждый рассказ. Кроме того, он делает себя дураком перед всем показ не много мозгов.
Yeah, it is just like how they expect us to buy a Japanese man to be speaking English perfectly. Dude, it is just the laws of entertainment at work. Just live with it.

The game was made in 1991.

私は、ザンギエフすべての中で最も風変わりな性格だと考えている ことはできません。彼はすべての物語の中で同じ服をしている。ま た、彼は前に誰もが自分をばかにするのではなく、多くの頭脳を示 す] 。
