--Previous Message-- : Maybe saying "kill yourself" and So : &%$# you" is a little harsh, but : besides everything Dermie already mentioned, : I think it's realistic for her to think : that. : Haven't we all thought stuff similar to : that, even in situations that we don't : LITERALLY want people to kill themselves? : With co-workers for examples, and for less : than slapping a woman that is our friend? : : I am actually loving the thought balloons. : : It's just funny to see how fanboys clamored : for "classic" Avengers and for a : "classic" vibe, and now that we : got it, you hear a lot of internet whining : (not here)about how annoying the thought : balloons are, how bad this book is, now all : of a sudden all those people who hated NA : are saying that NA is the better of the : Avengers book. : ( I think the only really bad Avengers book : currently is Avengers:The Initiative) : : I find them balloons perfectly fine... : Sometimes funny, sometimes amusing, always : illuminating... : : --Previous Message-- : I love the use of thought balloons in this : work. Carol's thoughts on Pym are very : enlightening and amusing at the same time. : Is that how she REALLY feels?? : : This isn't the first time Bendis has shown : us that Carol doesn't like Hank very : much....although that particular thought : bubble was unusually nasty about it. : : At first I was a bit surprised when Bendis : started writing her as having a grudge : against Pym, but then when I thought about : it, it makes sense. Just as there are : members of the readership who hate Pym for : what he did, it only makes sense that there : will be characters in the MU who feel the : same way. : : Also, unlike most of the other Avengers who : are still friends with Hank (like Tony, Cap, : Clint, etc), Carol did not have a prior : friendship with him before the incident : where he slapped Jan. Hank was not an : active Avenger during Carol's original : membership stint, so she never had a lot of : contact with him to become friends. Carol : did, however, serve with Jan, so she is : closer to her than she is to Hank, and : therefore more likely to side with Jan. : Plus with Carol's particularily strong : feminist attitudes, it is not surprising : she'd be particularily unforgiving of : domestic violence. : : What really surprised me is that when I look : back, there was already prior precedent for : Carol not getting along well with Hank. In : one issue of her original series, there is a : thought bubble of Carol getting pissed off : at a somewhat sexist comment Hank makes, : about wanting to shove the words down his : throat. And during Busiek's run, there is a : scene where Carol snaps at Pym for being too : busy congratulating himself on his work and : not focusing enough on helping the innocent : people. : : So I do think it is in-character for Carol : to have a bit of a grudge against Hank, as : long as she doesn't let it interefere with : their professional relationship--Carol is : too much of a pro for that. : : :
