You're right. My bad. Also, I suspect that Comic Vine users are probably indifferent to you. I see that you're trying to be funny, but the site has a very specific purpose in having a conversation about an avenue of pop culture that sometimes isn't taken seriously, so detracting from that seriousness invites their frustration. You aren't the first, and you won't be the last. You're just the latest. Stop feeding it, and eventually, you can probably interact here again without "fearing" any snarkiness. And I wasn't defending you so much as interrogating some of the flawed logic being thrown around. I don't really care if users dislike me or not because I don't know any of them, and they don't know me.
I would be interested to know when and under what circumstances, but these examples only seem to show that fandom should forgive Hank and move on, as both characters committed these acts and are still held in high regard by fandom. Continuing this discourse about who is the better comic book husband is meaningless.
@impurestcheese: Wow! This is really solid fan fiction. While the dialogue definitely is the story, it is framed very well and the characters reveal themselves through their interaction with others and move the narrative along. Well done.
Sue has left Reed more than once, most recently during Civil War, and she has made a non-coercive decision to remain with him. Reed Richards has received no free pass. But why Spidey? Peter made decisions with both Mary Jane and his aunt's well-being in mind. He never abused MJ verbally or physically. I didn't think this discussion was about which fictional character makes a better mate, but whether or not @riot_sqrrl was wrong to recall attention to the domestic abuse of Janet Van Dyne (who also exercised agency). When did the focus change?
