The Last Rites of Janet Pym and the dumping on Stark, again

[jazzypom.livejournal.com]

For those who came late: Pym is back, since his Skrull! Pym form is dead, and Carol (I'm assuming this is Carol because Mockingbird wouldn't know a Scooby what was going on either) fills Pym in on all the madness, and Tony gets dumped on. Again. All you Thor/Pym slashers, quiet in the back, plz. Click on smaller pictures for legibility goodness.

I am NOT posting pictures from IM 8, because art is FUG it is fug. But Tony is getting there.

What I would've done with this scene is had Hank blame, not Tony, but everyone. It would be so much more moving for me if he stood up there and said, "How could you?! You let this happen, all of you! You and your stupid, stupid war! You killed her!"

Motto. What with the squabbling, everyone dropped the ball, and weakened themselves to the invading horde. There's enough blame to go around - Thor leaving earth because he 'just wanted to be left alone', Carol going along with Tony's plans like a good little soldier instead of calling him out when she had her doubts (she did have some). The team mates not trusting each other and just not having some communication protocol.

There's enough blame to be going on with.


Y'know, I readily admit that Tony's made some choices and done some things that he may have thought at the time to be good or necessary, but that from our perspective are just wrong. And he should be required to face the consequences (because I approve of stories in which people face the unintended consequences of their actions, and I disapprove of stories where the writers flinch from following through).

Oh yeah, I do like Stark, although he can be a little shit at times. But you can't be the man he is in the business that he does without being a bit of a shark. If you want a woobie, cuddle with Steve or Peter.
