I'm a well read grad student who's bluntly honest about all things, although I try to be most honest about myself.
Yaaaaaay!
And this artist!
*swoon*
I'm still not sure if Ultron is completely in control, or if it's a merge of Ultron and Pym, like they claim. Some of what is said sounds like Pym, full of his insecurity and neuroticism, but it could be a convincing act on Ultron's part. Then again, I could easily see this merge of personalities destroying any restraint on Pym's part. It seems as if every resentment and hurt is coming out, and he's lashing out all at once with the full force of everything he's kept tucked away inside him for years and years. That seems as convincing as Ultron using Pym's likeness to trick everyone and then ruin the Avengers from within.
I can understand: he was stranded in space, with Ultron, encased in Ultron, which is pretty much his worst nightmare. They keep looking for people who are dead, or assumed dead, and yet did they look for Hank? No, they assumed he was dead and then moved on. (This feels a little forced, unless Pym is correct and they care more about others than him. At one point, he asks if they even asked 'that stupid raccoon' to look for him. Rocket shout out! And also, he has a really good point. He's always buried it, or lashed out, or tried to prove himself in ways that he doesn't think through completely so disaster and sometimes his point gets lost in this.)
Ultron's plans to turn everyone into him, or make them like him, is... weird for me. Because hot on one hand, and it's painful and horrible and I wouldn't want that done to anyone against their will.
So basically, not sure how I feel about that.
What I do know is that this issue brought sex appeal, some real nice work on Pym's character, and some nice work with everyone else to boot. Humor, action and pathos. And it promises Hulkbuster vs Ultron next. Aw, yeah!
