Pym reminds me of Anti-Matter Lex Luthor, especially in that scene where Anti-Matter Luthor breaks down a little and asks why he fails at everything he does. He's brilliant, but the universe itself cannot allow him to succeed.
I think that Hank finding a way to trap a god was brilliant and I don't really understand why everyone on the team got so jumpy about it. The main argument against the device was that it trapped gods, which the gods considered offensive. You know what, boo fucking hoo Thor. Loki is too much of a wild card and causes waaaaaay to much strife to not warrant being taken off the field of play, whether it's temporary or permanent.
I even thought that the idea of Loki being made an Avenger could have possible worked had Thor been behind. But you would have to do it in the right context. Loki is an evil, manipulative silly goose, but if it was Thor saying "for the crime of being a dick in general, I sentence you to fifty years as an Avenger."
That actually could have been pretty cool. But everyone quit instead, which I also understand because as brilliant as Pym is, all these Marvel Universe brainiacs have this sense of entitlement which just puts me off.

You don't see how having the god of lies watching your back might be somewhat troubling for sane people?
Yeah, Loki actually being on the team would have really captured my interest. Maybe you could give Loki the same curse Thor had as well, back when the Avengers first started and he mostly just existed as Donald Blake's alter-ego. Maybe you could also curse him so he can't lie anymore, which would be a hilarious for such a bastard to have.
Part of me thinks Slott might still go that route, as I can't understand why he'd raise the possibility without intending to follow through.
You know... part of me wonders if they made Eric O'Grady into Ant Man to make Pym seem LESS of a douche.
Pym
-Created Ultron
-Hit wife
-Asked Loki to join the Avengers
-and various Ego trip stuff.
O'Grady
-Talks friend into stealing top secret government suit
-Steals said suit off of dead friends body
-Hooks up with dead friends girlfriend
-Cons free dinner off of girl he saves, and then stays in her apartment in ant-size, watching her shower
-actually does alot of watching people shower (including Ms. Marvel)...
...
you know, there's like 12 straight issues of this stuff, I'll be writing forever to try to remember all of it.
yeah, I think O'Grady takes the douche award on sheer quantity. Pym may have a couple of massive f-ups, but even hitting his wife is no comparison to trying to sleep with his dead friends girlfriend on his friends GRAVE.
So are we kinda ignoring the fact that Hank Pym's Terrible Choice occurred after Loki was released from Pym's machine and therefore had his powers back?

I think it may have had something to do with the fact that it was also a torture device. Quicksilver was using it to hurt Loki, as I recall.

If anyone needs hurting, it's Loki. But I understand the moral dilemma it brings to the table, like what would happen if nefarious characters got a hold of the technology.

Difference is...if I was in O'Grady's situation...I would totally have done the same things. If I was in Pym's situation, I would probably exile myself as a monk for the safety and well-being of all mankind and wives.

That's a neat trick that Pym has pulled off, but I bet that will be the last time it's ever mentioned.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say if you'd seriously do all of that in the same situation you are a terrible person.

A. All I'm doing is talking, its his decision to put words into actions. I BS with my friends every day about stuff, doesn't mean they have to go through with it.
B. Hey, not like he's going to use the suit anymore. And its not like I killed him.
C. She needs consoling. I'm helping her work through the stages of grief.
D. 1. Its a free meal by an appreciative person! Its just my way of accepting their thanks. It'd be rude to turn it down! 2. Its not like I'm taking pictures to distribute on the Internet. It doesn't harm her at all, especially if she's ignorant of what is happening.

Particularly when Thor has been shown in the past to be fairly humble about being regarded as a god by motrals.

Not sure if you've actually read it but:
C: He also tries to have sex with her on his friends GRAVE. Eventually they do hook up and afterwards he dumps her. Unfortunately she got pregnant. When he eventually finds out, he basically says he wants nothing to do with it, and leaves.
E/D2: actually when he was at Ms. Marvels he did intend to do just that... until he found out he was on a SHIELD vessel and decided to hightail it out of there immediately.

And I was elaborating on what I said earlier about Pym's actions.
And when did you become Mr. Semantics anyway?

More like Mr. Semenantics, 'mmm I 'rite?
well that is all well and good
but tell me one thing pym has done that can not be considered a fuck up
They're acceptable if directed at TLB.
Avengers Forever.
inspired Scott Lang and Eric O'Grady?
My point was that Mighty Avengers' Pym doesn't excel as a book about a fuck up either, because the fuck ups aren't grand enough.
And Pym isn't a total fuck up, even in that book. He made both Reed and Osborn look like chumps. Plus he figured out how to capture gods.
https://twitter.com/Hooraydiation
well one's dead and the other is a douchebag
so hey they really did follow pym's example!
well mighty avengers focused more on pym's douchebaggery than his fuck ups
I agree with this
The perfect Pym book would have a synergy between the two

Having a god of lies could be beneficial if he was being coerced into your service.

And then he hit a teenage girl, but it was okay because she was huge at the time.
