YMMV / The Trial of Yellowjacket

Go To

  • Harsher in Hindsight: Hank's breakdown. In later years, thanks to advances in psychological medicine and studies, we now know that Hank was suffering from a manic episode. However, the story plays up Hank as a man who is trying to be useful to the team, failing miserably, and his teammates kicking him to the curb. It's highly possible that, had this happened today, it would have been treated a little more seriously, similarly to how it was handled with Hank's daughter Nadia over in The Unstoppable Wasp.
  • Never Live It Down: Hank. Slapping. Janet. This one moment colored Hank Pym's entire character. This was his one My Greatest Failure moment that overshadowed even the construction of Ultron. It's become such a beaten dead horse that, when a holographic Tony brings it up in Secret Empire, Hank-Ultron flips his shit over it being brought up over despite Tony doing so much worse. This got dragged over into The Ultimates where Hank goes completely and utterly overboard, nearly murdering Janet.
  • Signature Scene: Again, Hank slapping Janet. It's also the storyline that has the iconic cover with Hawkeye aiming an arrow that the Scott Lang Ant-Man is riding on.
