The reason Age of Ultron is crap is because it's cliched, slow and hasn't done a good job of portraying any sense of gravitas to the current situation. Not because it messes with how Hawkeye was portrayed 30 years ago or what it means in contrast to other time travel stories.

The best stories in Marvel's history have paid fast and loose with what has come before. Look at how Bucky has been used in the 60's and now. Look at Clareont's X-men run. Just let it go Amobeas!

NOT A WORD.

Read Marvel Two-In-One #50. It literally is the exact plot that AU is heading to.

Ben has a cure in the present that will only work on his younger self - so what if Ben gives it to his younger self?
Ultron has taken over the planet and can't be stopped - but what if Pym was stopped before he accidently created Ultron?

Ben goes back in time and change things to make a new reality in his present.
Sue & Wolverine go back in time and change things to make a new reality in their present.

Ben returns home and finds nothing has changed and he created an alternate timeline.
Sue & Wolverine return home and find everything has changed and the world is okey-dokey again.

In a world where sometimes things go up, they should follow the rule (and logic) that they will also come down.

You could argue that the Marvel rules on Time Travel got altered with Age of Apocalypse or House of M or any of the other reality changing dramas.

If the story is so important - then don't use existing characters that have histories that need to be contradicted in order for the story to work.

I just posted about one of the best stories in Marvel's history (M2in1 #50) (that literally played with what had come before). So I think I'm on solid ground.

Jubilee wrote:Just let it go Amobeas!

Nah - not letting it go, because I was raised on Marvel Comics where they didn't let it go.

And you still can't take the time to learn how to spell my name For shame Jbuleei, For shame! :smt011

Iregaurdless of your attempts to get me into petty disputes Amoebas I will never accept that characters are more important than story. I think it's important these characters get a soft update every decade or so to fit them into the wider world.
