Marvel Comics General

I've never been nice a day in my life and I'm not going to start now

I was talking about this. And we don't need to go back to the Ultimates, things are looking grim for the Wasp right now.

That clearly isn't Hank, though, it's Ultron. The last of Hank's soul was eaten by Devondra.

Is Ultron looking like Metallo done on purpose?

Ultron and the wife beater come in the same package since some time. This isn't new.

Is the AI piloting Tony’s armor the same as the AI Tony from when he was in that coma after Civil War II?

1. Please stop calling Hank Pym "the wife beater." It's insensitive.
2. No, Ultron is merely wearing Hank's skin, it's not actually Hank. Like I've already stated, the last of Hank's soul was eaten by Devondra during Infinity Countdown.

You are a terrible person with an awful sense of humor to keep calling him that.

It’s Grigor, what do you expect?

Specifically Ultron freed himself from Hank when Hank's soul was eaten by a spider monster while he hallucinated all his friends liked him, and I typed that out because it never stops being hilarious.

Y'all, Rodimus said it best:

One of the biggest problems women who experience Domestic Abuse have is that media frames abusers as "wife-beaters" or Evil All Along because it gives the lie that normal average men aren't capable of doing it, intelligent people, even those of good background and otherwise good people and so on, can't do it and so forth. The point of Hank's downfall in Avengers #211-230 is to show yeah, Hank's a superhero, he also abused Janet, no him beating a bad guy doesn't make up or redeem what he did in his personal life.

Ultimate Hank Pym gives no reason as to why Ultimate Janet would ever have fallen for that guy in the first place. It makes Hank in later issues so erratic and so dysfunctional that its amazing that he got a degree to start with. You can't be a bag of messes all the time as a character.

So yeah, it's cheapening stuff and reductive, and not at all cool to do that.

Ooh, in November, Captain Marvel is going dark. I like the design of Evil Captain Marvel.

It’s better than the boring gray SHIELD variant she had in Time Runs Out

I’m worried about Evil Captain Marvel because Civil War Minority Report wasn’t so long ago. Maybe she can have a solid stretch of time without going evil or fucking everything up

So is she Russian now?

Btw, did CW 2 had any lasting consequences that are felt to this day?

The original had a huge impact in the universe as a whole, and it's impact was felt for years afterwards. But 2? I can't really think of anything that is holding up until now. Maybe the current status quo of Hulk, but that is it's own story.

If it was just Ultron with no Pym, why would he care about Jan being with Tony?

Ultron has an Oedipus Complex.

Not to my recollection no. I think everyone in-universe has forgotten CW 2.

I think there was a gram of Tony/Carol side-eye in like, one panel near the start of Aaron’s Avengers run, but that’s it.

I like the outfit red and black works well

Carol shoved Tony through a wall

Yeah, but it's Tony. There are probably at least six reasons for someone to do that at any given moment.

He decided that the second after they agreed to be cordial and professional so they could both work on the avengers together was the appropriate time to ask her if they should bang

Tony’s brain: “Well, it’s not like she’s dating my best friend anymore, sooo...”

Civil War II is like the first time my friend tried alcohol: a bunch of Meaningless Meaningful Words were said, someone passed out, and onlookers were baffled. By the end of it all, none of it mattered.
