Ultimates (2024) #1
OHMYGODDD Ultimates #1 was fantastic! I have so many thoughts that I had to turn it into a post lol.
Poor Steve 😂 I'm very interested to see Steve's journey, though, because he's now the captain of a country that doesn't exist. How is he going to navigate that? I'm also looking forward to Steve and Tony's dynamic in this universe because Tony's a kid, which changes things a lot. He's a kid with the burden of the world on his shoulders, trying to undo everything that the Maker did, and Steve knows that as well. Plus, if they know about all the events on Earth-616, they also know about Civil War. I hope it's brought into the conversation soon.
NOOO IS CAROL DEAD?? MY GIRL
This is brutal as a Captain Marvel and Hawkeye fan. Spider-Man is thriving for now (surprising, I know), but Carol is probably dead, and Clint has given up being Hawkeye. But even Spider-Man was near rejection as Peter was thinking about giving up until his daughter convinced him to be Spider-Man. The Maker really fucked up this universe, huh. I'd love for a certain archer to find the uniform and take up the Hawkeye mantle and then Clint to get inspired by Kate in this universe. I think it'd be a fun twist, especially since Tony also mentioned that they can find near-perfect substitutes. He eventually realized his mistake later on the issue, but I really do think Kate could have a big role to play.
Hehe, a fun little wink to Tony eventually becoming Kang the Conquerer.
This version of Tony is so interesting to me because he’s a kid, and making him the center of all this works very well because of it, especially his relationships with Reed and Steve. Reed is more pragmatic and cold, while Steve is idealistic, and seeing both of them influence Tony is fantastic. Tony himself is more idealistic than his 616 version because he’s much younger. Steve grounds the two and makes Tony and Reed understand that whatever they're doing isn't an experiment but a revolution.
While I love all the other characters, the standout in this issue for me was Hank Pym, which I didn't expect. He knows what kind of person he turned to be on Earth-616 and he doesn't want to turn out that way. I think that's a very compelling story arc.
Ahh, I love this. What Steve says is right; Hank can choose to be different. It's also interesting if we compare Peter and Hank because, in Ultimate Spider-Man, we're told that Peter always felt that something was missing from his life, and then he learned the truth about what the Maker did and became Spider-Man, which fulfilled his life. On the other hand, Hank was happy running an extermination business with his wife. (How Janet went from rich heiress to this is also something I'm wondering). Hank was happy, but now he's being told he was supposed to become Ant-Man, create Ultron, and hit his wife, whom he loves more than anything. I felt bad for him, honestly.
616 Tony should say this to his father, too lol. But this part is probably my favorite part of the issue because of the insight it gives us into Tony's mind, who is the center of the new Ultimate universe. As I've mentioned many times, Tony is a teenager in a world run by fascists, a world that his father was complicit in making. He's angry at Howard, but he also loves him. I think an argument could be made about Tony representing today's generation that's also dealing with the effects of (poor) decisions made by our parents and grandparents, and feeling the anger from it.
"It's quite a mess you made, Dad. And now we have to clean it up. What choice do we have?"
"If there's any hope of fixing things...it won't be enough to be as good as the heroes of that simpler world. We'll have to be better. I don't know what that looks like yet. But we're going to figure it out."
"You were the smartest man in the world. You should've known better. And that is failure.”

can you elaborate on bigender hank please?
Sorry for taking so long, I was doing other stuff and it took me longer then I wanted. So also have as compensation these doodles with Bigender Hank and Transfem Tony + their friendship
Anyway, my reason for hc Hank Pym as bigender/agender is simple, BECAUSE I CAN!!!!! But also, because it feels very like in his character. He is a very close individual preferring to stay in his comfort zone than try something that he would theme ¨dangerous¨ ¨not so importing¨ ¨is not my thing¨. That's why Janet is such a good match for him, someone who will make Hank do more stuff outside his comfort zone but still respect his boundaries.
And it would be so cute if the reason why Hank discovers that he identifies as a woman too is because of Janet and Janet would still love her!!
If you wanna know why I hc Tony as transfem I'll just say that it happened in the comics like two times and in one she was happier.
@blueishyellowish I'm not much of a writer so have this art because of that cool fic!! @shapeshiftingcloud I think that you will like this 😏

To the characters we make that are women:
I love you. You deserve to be wrong and right and face the consequences of being either one.
be ugly or pretty, without it being ensconced with another character's development, i hope you hate and love things, and there's not a moral superiority there within the conflict.
I hope the things you care about are specific and personal, with genuine reasons that arent what's simply expected of your role in a character.
I hope your attractiveness in body and mind isn't just a character trait that just happens to make people gravitate to you. I hope you initiate attractiveness, be aware of it and take advantage of it when you decide to.
I hope you are written with your own intentions and selfishness, even if those intentions are selfless.
I hope you make mistakes and struggle in how to fix them, whether it be bc of the inward self or the feelings of others.
