So I'm making time while waiting and I'm reading this (Mighty Avengers) and I'm having a honestly to heart fun time. I was told Hank Pym was a boring character, but here he's really fun to read. So easily baited, and kind of makes me smile when he goes all offended and depressive, and pedantic. And half the times I don't know if he's a jerk without realizing himself or he's just a very bad case of black humour. In any case, he's no way boring.
Are there any other series in which he's this fun to read? I mean, it's not that I like him, but here is definitively fun.Also, I'm guessing the pop culture stuff in his dialogue in Uncanny Avengers #9 was a character trait in the end. Is it?

Hank Pym, as has been discussed many times here, is a mad scientist who somehow ended up as a superhero instead of a supervillain. He's an absolute train wreck of a human being who none the less gets out of bed every day to try and save the world, often from disasters he created himself. He's the guy who gibbered that the people who mocked him would rue the day, and then he spent a week stuck inside an anthill judo flipping ants that kept trying to eat him until he could grow back. That's his origin story. Then he built a helmet to make those ants his bitch and went out fighting crime with the doppleganger of his dead wife (who went on to become his second dead wife) because she thought it might be fun.
>>83490759
He's one of the few heroes who always has to pay for his mistakes.
He's an ambitious genius with a heart of gold but he has a history of serious mental issues which has led to him hurting the people he cares about the most (mainly Janet).
He's one of my favorite characters along with Cyclops and Catwoman
Also I don't have the updated list, but you should definitely read Rage of Ultron as well.
>>83490981
That makes sense with what I'm reading, him being a mad scientist who wants to do good. It's even cute how he puts himself hight, but doesn't allow himself to put on top. Serious self esteem shit going on there. But what I don't get is how people says he's boring, seeing him in this. And he's far hated by what I've catch until now, but he's not worse than Reed or Stark, or at least, not than them since the last, I don't know, ten years or so. Again, by this book.
What I'm kind of asking is if this is actually true to the whole character or just the characterization of this writer. I'm sorry if I'm not being clear enough. Is late here and I'm not fresh enough.
What's the most depressing cartoon you can think of?

Are you stupid or you just don't want to understand?
>>83490667
Whos the weird looking dude?
Who are either actually?
I don't get it.
>>83490285
Because you're stupid.
They're saying that Mulan would have to be/would be read as a queer character if it was made now.
tbqh mulan is clearly a transman, we never see him being comfortable in a female identity. he is only comfortable in a male identity
he can still be attracted to the handsome guard captain and be a man
mulan IS ping

What's the greatest animated feature film ever made?
My vote goes to Iron Giant.
>>83490012
Good pick.
It's pretty hard for me, but i cant decide between Fantasia, Persepolis (i just love the animation), Titan A.E. (i dont know why i love this movie so much, i know most people think its shit), and WALL-E. Shit taste I know.
>>83490692
All good picks, familiar. Fantasia especially.
>>83490692
Good taste

This was the best in-continuity/canonical run on a solo superhero out of the entire industry in the 90s. Waid has produced more mediocre to poor work than anything of even remote quality, but this will always be a masterpiece.
ITT: Bullies/Jerks with the potential to become good guys.
Like Dash from Danny Phantom or to a lesser extent Bonnie from Kim Possible.
>>83489771
I was waiting for him to become Danny's version of venom
Don't they all have the potential to be good guys?

Ultimate Marvel Storytime
>What's being storytimed?
Ultimate Marvel, later known as Ultimate Comics, was an imprint of comic books published by Marvel Comics, featuring re-imagined and updated versions of the company's superhero characters from the Ultimate Universe. The imprint was launched in 2000 with the publication of the series Ultimate Spider-Man and Ultimate X-Men, providing new original stories for the characters. The Marvel Multiverse, which comprises an infinite number of galaxies and alternate universes, calls this universe Earth-1610.
>Why are you doing this?
Because there's a lot of good stuff that people ignored that deserves recognition and even the bad stuff can be fun.
>Why this order?
I originally planned on doing USM to Death of Spider-Man, but I want to do the rest now. I've separated things into groups for convenience.

It's the beach episode
If there was a Pantheon of Comic Creator Gods who would be on it?
Obviously Alan Moore, Neil Gaiman and Grant Morrison, and Jack Kirby. Love them or hate them they are too influential to not be there.
>>83489619
Will Eisner, Charles M. Schulz, Osamu Tezuka, Robert Crumb and Moebius.
Harry Donenfield, Jack Liebowitz, Malcolm Wheeler and Max Gaines
Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster too
>>83489619
>Grant Morrison
Why tho?
>I HAVE IT ALL PLANNED THIS TIME GUYS, I SWEAR
He's not wrong, it is a serial story.
A "professional" god damn writer and he can't even capitalize his words.
>>83489197
That's the same he said about all the things he set up for his new volumen of Guardians of the Galaxy. He's a fucking liar.
Now that IvyXHarley is canon we can finally say she's over the joker for good.
>>83489116
In that particular universe yeah, main universe I don't think so.
Palmotti and Conner have said it's canon too
>>83489538
So we should ignore it. Okay.
What are the chances of seeing him in Ragnarok?
>>83488715
Never because marvel hates hulk
fuck you I want my sequel
>>83488782
me too, senpai.
>Gammaworld styled movie never
>>83488715
He's still in a secure prison even after the shit HYDRA pulled.
I've seen every live action movie adapted from Marvel and DC comics. Ask me anything.
>>83488705
Do you have good taste?
>>83488728
The fact that I've seen EVERY movie including the shit ones and paid money to see Batman V Superman clearly shows that I do not.
Why would you ever sit through Catwoman, Steel, and Elektra?
