Lobotomies and Brain Deletions

[hohaiyee.livejournal.com]

So I started reading Cable and Deadpool, and by the 10th issue, Cable had himself lobotomized...like, parts of his brain, and he looked like he was just gone with the drooling and the ignoring of Sadpool.

...and then he was of course, Okay!

Tony is a smart guy, like, this brain deletion thing, he's really only deleting the parts of his brain that stored the database eh? The database must be huge, so he like, must have used Extremis to keep it separate eh?

So we are going to get a fake brain death, Steve angst, and then Tony will be Okay.

I will laugh at the abuse of the Reset Button, but I still welcome it. Steve will come back, the Avengers will reunite and kick skrull ass, and they will walk into the sunset after saving a whale.

That mental image, Tony staring at something he wrote and not being able to understand gave me the creeps, it's seriously bad, and sad...and It's making me feel bad.

Isn't it just? The idea of Tony remembering that he was smart, that he used to be a genius, the go-to guy for all kinds of tech (because Reed may be smarter, but Reed does not share), but not being able to understand what he did, much less duplicate it...*hides under furniture*

I agree; the idea of losing parts of yourself, bit by bit, reminds me a little too much of things like Alzheimer's and dementia and schizophrenia and all those things that take us away from who we are or were...I don't want to read about it or think about it more than I have to, because it's really disturbing.
...is there any extra space under the furniture? I want in.
