>Hank Pym was a skrull the whole time from Avengers #212 through to Infinity Countdown #5
Would any Pymfags be upset by this? Are there REALLY any iconic Pym stories worth saving during this time? This seems like the cleanest way to save Pym, the slap would have never even happened.
Hank Pym was a skrull the whole time from Avengers #212 through to Infinity Countdown #5
They'll still find a way to keep bringing it up even fit hey make than canon. It's too big a part of Hank's perception to ignore, even Normies know about it from reading clickbait articles. Maybe it would have worked back during Secret Invasion, but it's too late now.
If they'd done it immediately it would have worked, but doing it now, you'd be losing the entire "Dr Pym" era in West Coast Avengers, 90s Giant Man, 2000s Yellowjacket, and the whole Mighty Avengers/Avengers Academy years. is probably right that no matter how hard anyone tries to retcon it, someone else would bring it back, just like in the 90s when they tried to absolve Hank by blaming it on Kang making a failed attempt to mind control Hank that had caused his breakdowns, and it was undone a few years later.
Why didn't Peter ever get shit for doing the same?
Wanda is a hero, a good loyal wife.
Marywookek is a hated bitch who needs discipline
People actually care about Spider-Man enough to overlook one shitty thing he did one time.
Pym hitting his wife is the most notable thing about him to a majority of people who're aware of his existence.
Trying to use Skrulls as an excuse like Quicksilver now? What a pathetic asshole
Brevoort won't allow it because it would invalidate too much Avengers lore. Dan Slott, at the height of his power at Marvel, pitched the idea when the decision to make Hank a skrull in Secret Invasion and Brevoort vetoed it.
I don't know much about Pym, but did he do anything that was completely inexcusable? If not, a reasonable answer is that he used to be an asshole, but not he's not.
>Pym hitting his wife is the most notable thing about him to a majority of people who're aware of his existence
>not Ultron
Too be fair who the fuck is that guy because he sure doesn't look Peter parker. If you told me it was someone else I'd believe you. Also I never heard of this so it must have been a terrible run.
No one gives a shit where ultron came from user. How are you not aware of this.
Pym's last big arc before this had Ultron alter Pym's memories and made him believe the Avengers were his enemies. At the end of the arc he was dragged off screaming revenge on them and how Janet betrayed him. One off hand comment about how they'd try to study Ultron's machines to fix Hank, and he would show up seemingly normal a few issues later. It was later added that Stark applied electro-shock therapy as part of it. It's pretty easy to have Ultron show up and mock them for their failure to undo the damage and their failure to help him after. Ultron shoulders the "responsibility" of it. Hank, Jan, and the Avengers still keep their personal failure at ignoring the problem until Hank went so far off the deep end to build a giant robot to attack the Avengers.
You could even have Ultron show up with a Salvation-Prime robot to attack the avengers for a big punch up, and have Ultron declare Salvation as his creation that he merely implanted in Hank during the mind alteration as a contingency.
The perfect excuse already exists, he was mentally ill and was off his meds at the time
>Why didn't Peter ever get shit for doing the same?
Because he's popular.
Pym isn't very popular, so he'll never, ever be forgiven for doing the same thing.
Janet was an emotionally and verbally abusive manipulative narcissistic cunt who took advantage of a broken mentally unstable man who was still mourning his wife so she could become a heroine for the cloud.
Want to know what she did instead of getting help. She manipulated one of his pseudo persona into marrying her then guilt ed him into accepting this betrayal.
No one took her to task foe her clearly abusive attitude in their relationship and how fucked up the situation was. But she soun her tale of being backhanded once into a take of years of violent abuse and near murder. Ostracized him and feeding her narcissistic lust for attention.
When is the Ant-Man mini coming out?
Because that’s one comic page in the hundreds of thousands pete has, the slap is one in the hundreds of panels pym has appeared in
Same reason why people excuse popular people for doing really shitty things but will dog some nobody for the same thing until the day they die, the former is popular and given a pass since it would be a super uncool thing for anyone to point out their failings, or you'll be the one shunned by everybody else, while the latter is an easy target because nobody will go to bat for them, so they get dogpiled on all day.
Would you stop using Slott pages to justify your shit?
Then why does he remember doing it?
Millar didn't make it a big deal to the point that every other writer used it as well. Also, MJ's pregnancy is something Marvel wants to never bring up.
