* BrokenBase: Janet dating [[ComicBook/IronMan Tony Stark]], starting in the 2019 relaunch of Tony's book, a lot of which seems to just come from Tony's status as a BaseBreakingCharacter after ComicBook/CivilWar. For some, Tony and Janet have always been really close friends who happen to be BirdsOfAFeather (being NonIdleRich superheroes who manage billion-dollar businesses), so them graduating to a romantic relationship makes some degree of sense, find their interactions adorable, and love the BattleCouple dynamic the two have together. For others, Tony is a terrible human being who doesn't deserve her, and think she's been reduced her to a ShallowLoveInterest and lost all her character development.

** The ''Earth's Mightiest Heroes'' version of Janet van Dyne got this: some viewers felt that her enthusiasm and determination made her the best character on the team, while others felt that her power level was too low to justify a spot on the team and found her annoying and shallow.

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: It's very easy to read The Wasp's early stories and interactions with future husband Hank Pym as being that of a manipulative opportunist who ruined her partner's confidence by leading him on then switching her affections to another team mate, taking advantage of a recently widowed man by playing up her resemblance to his deceased wife, and making light of his insecurities.

* AngstWhatAngst: After Janet returns from being trapped in the Microverse, she spends very little time angsting over the time she lost or the traumatic experiences she had while there. Later, after ''Axis'' is resolved, Janet (or more likely, the writers) pretty much forgot that she was kidnapped by her ex-boyfriend and had lost their daughter thanks to time-travel messes, and when she pops back up, she's pretty over it. Averted at least in that around this time, ''Rage of Ultron'' and Hank Pym's death/merge with Ultron happened, and so Janet instead got to angst about not being able to save him.
* AudienceAlienatingEra: Janet's mutated form during the 1990s is considered one of the most obvious examples of the insipid writing on the Avengers from that decade.
* BaseBreakingCharacter:
** The ''Earth's Mightiest Heroes'' version of Janet van Dyne got this: some viewers felt that her enthusiasm and determination made her the best character on the team, while others felt that her power level was too low to justify a spot on the team and found her annoying and shallow.
** Hope van Dyne, Janet's daughter in the [[ComicBook/MarvelComics2 MC2]] line and the MCU, who is set to become the MCU's Wasp rather than her mother, has been a massively divisive character. In the film she's either an entertaining and strong female character or a weak and poorly written token love interest. [[Film/AntManAndTheWasp When she actually becomes the Wasp, though]], she seems to have been RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap due to having more opportunity to have fun with her role and her better handled romantic chemistry with Scott Lang, though there are still those who are upset that Janet hasn't been given focus as the Wasp in the movies.
** Nadia van Dyne, the new Wasp in the comics, seems to get one of three reactions. Either you're a fan of Janet and you [[ReplacementScrappy hate Nadia for stealing Janet's focus and getting the push Janet hasn't gotten]], or you're a fan of Janet who ''loves'' Nadia for being adorable and endearing, and despite being the one focused on, gives Janet new ground to explore by being Nadia's mentor and surrogate mother. Thirdly, you're a fan of Janet who tolerates Nadia, but don't like how she upstages Jan and obviously exists mainly as an MCU tie-in, which comic fans have grown incredibly sick of in recent years. There's a minor fourth camp of fans who love Nadia and hate Janet, and are glad that she's taking the spotlight from her, but that's a pretty rare stance in the grand scheme of things.

* CantUnHearIt: Wasp's fan favorite portrayal in ''WesternAnimation/TheAvengersEarthsMightiestHeroes'' was also very popular to her comic book fans (mainly for Jan being portrayed as a {{Moe}} and a BadassAdorable as well as undergoing AdaptationalBadass). As a result, Fans tend to hear the voice of Creator/ColleenOShaughnessey as the Wasp whenever they are reading her lines from just about anywhere.
* TheWoobie:
** Janet has the usual DeathByOriginStory parents (her father's death directly motivating her into superheroics), but she also spent much of her early career being severely outmatched by most serious threats and stuck in a complicated, mutually-destructive relationship with Hank Pym that caused them both misery. Despite her bubbly exterior, she's often plagued by being reminded of her 'weak' powers and failings, and is often shown having had a deep amount of self-loathing and blamed herself for what happened with Hank. However, she easily crosses into IronWoobie territory, as despite this, she's not the kind of character to wear her angst on her sleeve and maintains a highly upbeat exterior.
** Nadia van Dyne seems to follow Janet in the IronWoobie standard, being an almost PerpetualSmiler despite her mother dying days after her birth, being subjected to the Red Room, then escaping after discovering how to use her father's technology only to find out he had also died.
