I would translate 明日、世界が終わるだなんて法螺話にそうだったらいいなと逆に願ってる希死念慮の時代 as "a suicidal age where they hope that the tall story that the world will end tomorrow is true". "Bizarre" captures the feeling and tone, but the meaning is inaccurate. However, "suicidal ideation" while perhaps literally correct doesn't really fit stylistically--it's too scientific.

お山の大将 (I had to look it up) means "king of the hill". Four flusher (I had to look that up too) means "bluffer" or "braggart". So while that specific word is inaccurate, at least they're both perjoratives about claiming to be someone. But I can't see how they got the translation of the whole sentence. Your translation seems mostly OK but "threatening bluffs" doesn't quite. AFAIK odosu only applies to an animate object. Possibly it means "threatening the bluffers"?

I agree with your renderings of バラックの集落で被害者面して馬鹿騒ぎしようぜ and  何千回何万回　馬鹿の一つ覚えのように　後悔をすんのが. The official translations are incorrect and pretty meaningless IMHO.

I don't know what to do. Deleting the "official" translation altogether would be one option. After all, we've deleted other translations that have correct bits but also contain mistakes of this magnitude. It would be better overall, though, if we could find and correct the mistakes. Maybe if you come up with a better version and put it in a blog post or sandbox or something, I can review it and when we're happy with it we can replace this one.
