More Avengers EMH in the gym! But before I start, I just want to thankyou everybody who has been entertaining me going crazy over Bucky and over EMH. I love Beijing, but I would be lying if I say I don't get lonely here sometimes, and I feel especially alone this week, so I'm very grateful for all of you!
Avengers EMH S01E22 and S01E23: ULTRON. Also known as: CRYING FOR HANK PYM FOREVER. Train of thought behind the cut as usual.
( ULTROOONNNN )
I'm still not sure if EMH would show Hank's depression (they definitely won't show that infamous slap... would they?), but if they are, this is definitely the start of that slide. I love that the show focuses a lot on how Hank was originally a scientist who was forced into this crazy world of superheroics for REVENGE when his wife (Maria Pym) was kidnapped in front of him and KILLED. He's just a sensitive, kind hearted dude who just wants to make things right in his own terms. So when everything he does goes against him (Ultron--WHICH IS NOT HIS FAULT--people looking down on him as a superhero, etc), his spiral into depression makes sense. I hate the fact that The Slap is such a defining trait of his character, but it's true--I'd just say, it's one of the many defining traits of his character, and I hate it even more when people forget the rest and just focuses on him. Everyone has his ups and downs in life, and The Slap happens to be one of Hank's. It's a horrible thing, but it also marks his path to redemption, and that in itself is a defining trait of his.
Wow okay sorry, I still Have A Lot of Feelings that just flood out of me hahaha oops. ;tl-dr, I love Hank and I love that this show isn't reinforcing many writers' (cheap and lazy) takes on him (not mentioning names
bendis oops).
Might as well as just say it again: I love this show and everybody in it!
