the Ultimate comics were bad for a lot of reasons. Making the Hulk a cannibal murder monster, casual homophobia, both bad. IMO

Arnie, long time friend of Cap, is gay. If i remember right Arnie was someone from cap's childhood who grew up while he was on ice and reconnected after he was thawed. That is a story where homophobes kidnapped his "roommate" and iirc torture Arnie for being queer. Cap has no time for that bullshit.

Ultimates 3 by Jeph Loeb starts with Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch in a sexual relationship. They are twins (and are aware of that fact).

While I find that one to be a little too "try-hard", most of their stuff is gold.

They are sort of an "art" thing? They do make a small number of the items you see,and they are for sale on some website. They don't make many, and things tend to sell out very quickly.

I've seen that problem in actual textbooks. It's a deliberate "trap" question, intended to help the student analyze word problems correctly instead of just looking at the numbers.

My favorite Classic Cap scene is him coming across a student protest that's getting into a brawl with the cops, and he figures, "Welp, guess I should punch SOMEBODY" and starts beating the poo poo out of cops.

but I guess him being homophobic is worse

Hulk having any idea about the word "straight" being associated with strength, or homosexuality being a form of weakness, indicates that the writers think these are default primal truths and not stupidity that is enforced and conditioned into people. Primal characters' politics say a shitton about writers, just like deity characters' politics.

e.g. OG Thanos was a stalker creep who wanted to gently caress so bad he killed half the cosmos to get around a divine restraining order.

Even modern Thanos' plan makes no loving sense, because neither the writers nor audience for comic books are very smart.

He was trying to impress Death because he'd been obsessed with her and she'd made him immortal specifically so she'd never have to deal with him.

I love that Deadpool of all characters is in a legit love triangle situation with Thanos.

Minor point to other post, movie Thanos’s plan didn’t need to make sense. Dude was straight up crazy and just had lovely justification but Brolin sold it really well. That’s why the universe is pretty much rotting in Endgame.

I haven't seen Endgame, but I thought Brolin was pretty good as Cable in the second Deadpool movie.
