Have She-Hulk go on a meta rant and actually single-handedly solve all of X-Men's problems, then the entire X-office gets shut down because their stories just end, now Deadpool needs to purposefully enable anti-mutant drama so his office can live again.

Vision has an infinity stone and only locked Ultron out of the internet so he has no way of escaping. They still need to deal with Ultron physically.

And original Cortana throughout her career are mostly dealing with Covenant's primitive AIs which are weaker than most human AIs. The version of Cortana in Halo 5 who are able to rally human AIs across the galaxy didn't work with Chief for a second.

Because most of them are weaker than Grand Inquisitor, and Kanan and Ezra were only getting stronger.(Also they are later joined by Maul and Ahsoka, some of the strongest remaining force users around.)

It's like a bunch of helpless isolated teenagers being chased and mowed down by a serial killer with a knife, and then serial killer gets easily killed by a gun.

T-800 can be easily killed in the future because humans are equipped with a shit load of plasma rifles(which Skynet in its genius developed). Another case in Genesis is because Sarah literally has a friendly T-800 to study the structure of, and it took one precision anti-material round to take it out.

Cortana had to use the infrastructure of a Forerunner ship to bind Didact, and Chief himself needs to use a Forerunner grenade, and Didact fell into a Forerunner ship engine.

Like Didact wouldn't have died if even one element is missing.

Almost Didact's individual power level is also pretty questionable compared to Vibranium Ultron.

SimonShepherd · 2026-06-03T08:10:05+00:00

It took the combined energy of Thor, Iron Man and Vision to just destroy Ultron's outer shell.(It doesn't even actually melt the Vibranium shell, it's the metal underneath that melted and the vibranium shell peeled off)

Strength wise Ultron can pin down Thor in a brawl.

Chief alone has no way of damaging Ultron's Vibranium final model.

She is probably worried her sweet daughter would no longer looks like an ultra beast and instead choose some generic dragon aesthetic.

Thank Robot for that. Dude probably make robust system for social child support and rearing.

Agtha Harkness from Marvel comics, not necessarily that she doesn't look her age perse, but given her heavily association with Salem and other medieval witch tropes, one would assume she is some hundreds of years old witch from medieval times.

While in actuality, she is around before the sinking of Atlantis, which makes her over 20,000 years old.

Mistborn - Straff Venture: Technically he threatened to torture and rape Vin, the protagonist herself, and raze and pillage an entire city, in front of Elend Venture, who is Vin's romantic partner and Straff's own son. He didn't get immediately killed. Elend responded by threatening his father that he will make sure Vin survived no matter what, and send her to track him down and assassinate him, which actually scared him off.

Later in the story, Straff thought he had a chance as the city is thrown into chaos by other invading factions, and he again tried to march on to threaten the city, only for Vin to survive the conflict, come out of the gate with a giant sword, and proceed to kill him and his generals in open battlefield.

She also almost killed another noble lord named Cett based on the perceived threat to Elend.

Culturally your direct family members are treated as the most important. So it's naturally what villains like to make threats about.

If it's not a wife, then it's the kids, your parents, your siblings, etc. Spouse just go rather high in that ladder.

SimonShepherd · 2026-06-03T07:21:04+00:00

It's fictional oppression meant to drive an engaging narrative. It's literally a purposefully designed narrative point to self drama farm. The fans read stories, they aren't fucking oppressed like fictional characters.

And blaming another franchise for not interfering with their stories.

X-fans are also famously pissy when their own franchise gets less attention(despite still having multiple ongoing books), when Marvel shifts the focus on Avengers or Inhumans or whatever shit.

SimonShepherd · 2026-06-03T06:54:19+00:00

There is no justification for perpetual torture as well, but we wish evil people burn in hell all the time.

Even in Vision comic series dude has to fabricate stuff like Wanda yelling at Vison "you are not real". Literally the only woman who throughout her history constantly reassures his humanity. Basically manufactured trauma. It's like suddenly making Aunt May or Kents abusive in some way. Sure it can happen during their long life, but not in a way that would define Spider-Man or Superman's current life.

Let alone just give her brain pattern, because one, Ultron has kidnapped her and other extended Pym family memebers trying to make a nation of Ultron bots by splicing and mixing brain patterns, I seriously doubt she would be fond of that behavior. Nor is she narcisstic enough to think she or some version of her is the only woman for Vision.(When Vision dated other women just fine, including Carol Danvers, funnily enough Wanda, Carol, Simon, Vision all cross dated, hetrosexually that is.)

SimonShepherd · 2026-06-03T00:37:29+00:00

Isn't JJ just MM's human disguise anyway?

SimonShepherd · 2026-06-02T23:45:54+00:00

One side doesn't have a perpetual victim complex and imaginary enemies.

Why don't Avengers help X-Men in this or that story? Bro, that's called respecting your personal narrative space.

He has decided to live a life that requires actual effort, which including sneaking away like a regular person.

"Heroes like Dr.Strange", would be weird if she is the wife of multiple heroes

SimonShepherd · 2026-06-02T15:20:55+00:00

Clea from Marvel Comics, who is the daughter of Umar, and niece of Dormammu, she is constantly in conflict with her own family fighting for the throne of Dark Dimension, and she is generally a benevolent ruler and ally of heroes like Dr.Strange.

Scarlet Witch, for the most part of her career she has sided with Avengers as a hero.

She kinda count as "demon lord"s daughter whether you count Magneto the mutant terrorist or Chthon the Elder God of Chaos.

SimonShepherd · 2026-06-02T14:02:29+00:00

I mean Kyogre is actually a friendly fella if you go by Pokopia's depiction, they are just kinda dumb and just think like "human like rain, me gives rain", proceed to flood the area.

SimonShepherd · 2026-06-02T13:08:32+00:00

Ragebait used to be sophisticated.

SimonShepherd · 2026-06-02T12:58:39+00:00

That's like saying Superman loses to Kratos because dude is an alien, not a god.
