I agree with your first paragraph for the most part (minus the whole "he should be happy with it" because frankly I think after all that Billy's been through, the whole "he should just be happy to have a family and ignore EVERYTHING ELSE EVER" is complete bullshit), but.. not your second really at all. Friction is fine, but they described it as basically Teddy sneaking around behind Billy's back and lying to him, and Billy's finding out being like finding out Teddy's cheating on him, and.. that's just no. That is a HUGE no.

(Also you totally just called my relationship boring and unrealistic. We are not :( lol)

Ugh, I still completely hate the "Loki manipulates everyone to come together" idea. It's so contrived and stupid. Uggggh. Not helpful. Not making me feel better.

Agree on Miss America, but idk how I'll feel about her until I see her. :\ hmm.

It's not that there's anything wrong with them looking for other heroes. It's that the new team said the comic series Young Avengers will be looking AT other young heroes and young hero teams that have nothing to do with and won't have anything to do with the Young Avengers. I don't think you should call it YA if it isn't about them.

And.. yeah, I like my rosters more static than not. I actually really dislike reading comics if the characters I care about aren't on the team anymore (which explains why I have a hard time finding Avengers comics I enjoy). I'll check out the new YA because it has Billy, Teddy and Kate, but if they, say, got rid of Billy or Teddy, or keep Tommy gone, I'll probably be out, too.

I refuse to believe you have had a meaningful relationship with another human being that has been completely conflict-free.

Have you ever heard of this thing called a joke?

(Anonymous) 2012-10-19 03:06 pm (UTC)(link)
so what are you trying to say? That Billy and Teddy's relationship (which is supposedly comparable with yours IRL) should be problem-free or not?

(Anonymous) 2012-10-19 02:23 pm (UTC)(link)

Oops, I meant to write "I don't think that the comparison between Billy and Teddy was there to show how much better Billy has it, and how he should always be happy for it."

Also, I wouldn't say Teddy going around being a superhero is exactly 'cheating' on Billy. AIt's not like he has to stay at home and do nothing just because Billy does it. And are you telling me you never had any conflict with anyone you know? Really? I find it extremely hard to believe.

Have you read JiM? It's not conrived at all. That's what Kid Loki does.

Well, tough for you, I guess. Comic book teams roster rarely stays the same forever. And who knows? Maybe you'll grow to like and care about Noh-Varr, Miss America and Loki?

Ohhh, that makes a lot more sense, lol. But that's what the team seem to be doing? Especially with the promo thing for the new run, which is all "Billy thinks he's lost everything, Teddy has actually lost everything" bullshit. :\

Oh, no, I didn't say it was like cheating. I was saying that's the comparison the new writer in charge of YA used - that Billy felt like he was being cheated on, or something.

And yes, I've had conflict with people I know. But no, I've never had an SO sneak around behind my back and lie to me... unless it was for a secret, special surprise. Not because they're doing something they know I would be really upset if I found out about.

In the context of YA, it's really contrived.

Maybe.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-19 04:47 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, but Billy's demand seems a little unreasonable. Like I said, just because Billy does something, Teddy isn't obligated to do exactly the same thing, and just because Billy quit being a superhero, doesn't mean Teddy should, too. And it's not like they haven't talked about it, and Teddy hadn't expressed his opinions, so you can't say he didn't try. Why is this such a huge no?

And why is Loki manipulating them so contrived?

(Anonymous) 2012-10-19 11:05 pm (UTC)(link)

Yeah, but I still think sneaking around behind his back and lying to him about it is shitty. Much worse than making an unreasonable demand after going through all manner of hell and being seriously depressed. If Teddy were at least honest about what he was doing, I wager Billy would get over it and it'd work out. But he's sneaking around -- not unlike a guy who's cheating on his boyfriend.

I just really dislike manipulation of one person as the plot device to hook up a team. idk, it's just irritating to me.

I don't get how that's contrived when manipulating people is what Loki does. Not to mention that that story line is a call back to the inadvertent role that Loki played in the formation of the original Avengers team back in the day. If anything, I think it sounds like an interesting way to both pull some of the old members of the team back together while drawing in the new members alongside them.

+1 My initial reaction to reading Point One and seeing that Kid Loki was getting the Young Avengers together was D'awwwwww. I think it's a really sweet tribute to classic Avengers.
