[QUOTE="Mouseferatu, post: 4209746, member: 1288"] Believe it. I'm not exaggerating when I say that it honestly reads like the writers said "You know what would be cool? Let's take everything that makes the Ultimates different from the original, more comic, goofier, and frankly tired version of the Avengers, and get rid of it in the silliest way possible." Yep. I really wish they hadn't, honestly. I liked the ambiguity being part of the character. Well, only sort of. The character of [spoiler]Nick Fury, the SHIELD organization, and the fact that the public knows Stark is Iron Man[/spoiler] are all straight out of the Ultimates. But the character origin and the suit are very original character, and the personality, while a mixture of the two, leans more toward the original. (Or at least, as he's portrayed in the Ultimates. I have no idea how he's portrayed in Ultimate Iron Man. I heard about the "brain thing," and promptly decided to stay as far from UIM as possible.) Seems to me like they're taking (what they consider) the coolest elements of both. Which I'm fine with. :) Yeah, I'm curious, too. In the Ultimates, he begins as Giant Man, not becoming Ant Man until later. Honestly, I'm not sure a movie version of the Avengers really needs two shrinking heroes, so I kinda hope they do find something different to do with him. (Assuming they're keeping Wasp around, of course.) [/QUOTE]
