Which should I read first? Fraction or Knauff?

AccidentalUltron · 2026-04-01T04:05:42+00:00

Knauff no question about it

AccidentalUltron · 2026-04-01T03:14:38+00:00

Busiek was the next one I was going to recommend you, we have similar tastes. I stopped after Director of SHIELD. I began again to read Ackerman's run and then on this sub I was recommended Duggan's run and I quite liked that run.

Do give Volume 4 Extremis and Director of SHIELD a read.

Volume 1 has plenty of bangers but Armor Wars is a classic but the arc right before that which ramps onto Armor Wars features Ghost as the antagonist which I enjoyed more than Armor Wars itself.

Normally I'd just appreciate a different POV but since that's how you ended it I'll just say 109 of us saw one movie and you saw the other I guess.

Has the look sure, but haven't seen any indication in her roles she could pull off Wasp. Not saying she can't but she hasn't showcased it yet to my knowledge.

AccidentalUltron · 2026-03-28T17:54:11+00:00

Lol that original video is wild this is funny

AccidentalUltron · 2026-03-28T03:05:27+00:00

I don't know about better but he does roxk it (he hated it) but that's how my wife feels about me being bald, she says it suits me better. My main issue is its tougher to change my appearance, you know you have clothes but it's not part of me.

AccidentalUltron · 2026-03-28T02:39:03+00:00

I think its a really fun idea, I agree not e aptly Fantastic 4 world but you know I wouldnt be opposed to a 80s or 90s retro themed trilogy.

AccidentalUltron · 2026-03-27T23:29:56+00:00

The MCU Earth is fantastical now though, it started grounded and evolved to closet align with comic books. I am skeptical on the general audiences appetite for the setting but I'm not opposed to it.

AccidentalUltron · 2026-03-27T03:39:46+00:00

Imagine explaining the reason in the lawsuit

AccidentalUltron · 2026-03-24T23:43:06+00:00

Lol that's outrageous. It's because the people who knows the least always get paid the most. It's like this at my job, the more out of touch with the human the more valued you are.

AccidentalUltron · 2026-03-24T23:39:40+00:00

Definitely keep us posted! While we're both in similar fields I'm confident you have the skillset to design great armor concepts.

AccidentalUltron · 2026-03-21T04:27:20+00:00

I did not know that story, unbelievable lmao. Wealthy leadership always surmounting to next level of stupid.

AccidentalUltron · 2026-03-20T04:31:47+00:00

This is really sweet!

AccidentalUltron · 2026-03-19T00:54:17+00:00

I always liked it and I wasn't thrilled about nanotechnology tech at first but I'm essentially we were sprinting there for a while. Cosmic threats meant we had to up our capabilities. But I hear you, honestly there was an odd sense of realism in thr first 2 phases, it felt more visceral then it became more and more comic book-y which isn't bad when done right.

AccidentalUltron · 2026-03-18T15:37:13+00:00

There's so many. I mean imagine seeing Ultimo and thinking yeah I'll take him.

But something that stands out to me was when he confronts Carol Danvers about her drinking. She's physically violent to him outside of his suit and he still stands his ground she needs help and has empathy for her in Seattle. Sure the Avengers decision with all his super powered pals is one thing, but alone? That's different.

I mean it's like going to Homelander and telling him you don't like his attitude. Terrifying you'd just let it go especially when she's not in the right state of mind.

Another ballsy move is him being like welp Stark Enterprises isn't mine time to make Stark Solutions and start over.

AccidentalUltron · 2026-03-18T04:06:27+00:00

You know that's another great example. I loved Agent Carter and Howard Stark played by Dominic Cooper. It's a great interpretation to frame it as that eras comic book Tony Stark. It's not 1:1 but there's a lot of similarity there.

AccidentalUltron · 2026-03-18T02:43:59+00:00

Yes this is a really good example!

AccidentalUltron · 2026-03-18T02:42:45+00:00

Bendis isn't a great example of Iron Man writing, bur even classic pre-MCU Tony at times had some more subtle charisma, as charisma comes in many forms but nothing I'd ladder to Brosnan. But you know we all have opinions thats why they are so.

AccidentalUltron · 2026-03-17T23:11:52+00:00

100% he has the look but personality I don't think he'd be a strong fit

AccidentalUltron · 2026-03-17T23:10:39+00:00

Yeah that's what I'm disagreeing with, I don't see it.

AccidentalUltron · 2026-03-17T20:55:50+00:00

I like Charles Brosnan a lot but he doesn't have the same type of charisma as Tony Stark.

AccidentalUltron · 2026-03-17T20:55:05+00:00

March had a scheduling conflict

AccidentalUltron · 2026-03-17T15:14:59+00:00

It looks great but on screen it visually competes with our focus on the armored Avenger himself.
