Marvel should have stopped waiting on Heinberg years ago. They dropped the ball big time there. And personally, Children's Crusade wasn't worth the wait.

I concede both points here. But then I think about Fraction and Alan Davis wanting YA, and get the vapours, so probably its for the best that it's ended up as it has. Really.

Clint showed up and had a doctorate. And when someone mentioned that didn't really fit the character, the author went off about how canon outside of YA didn't matter.

Yeah,that's crazy. I'm a YA fan through and through, but canon does matter. I get your concerns with YA fandom, yeah. To be fair, if it's not Billy/Teddy, other characters and lives don't get a look in save Yuletide, so I hear you. I do think the spotty canon continuity has given rise to that problem of Navel Gazing, and with the new book hopefully less about Billy, and his needs, it can open up a bit.

I don't think it's asking too much to check things out before writing fic or running off at the mouth about a character you aren't completely familiar with. Wiki is our friend for this stuff!

Again point. That's like, me and half the Avengers fic out there right now, LOL. But I can see why YA would be a relatively no fuss canon to hang out in, you can get caught up with a few hours of reading. Other Avengers stuff (excluding the movies), not really.

As for the rest of it... I do like that Loki's bringing them back together and all that. It's a lovely nod to the original Avengers origins

Yeah, again I'll give it that. But as I said before, with Kid Loki popping up everywhere, and sucking up all the oxygen wherever he appears (he's a fun character but yeah, drama), I can see why fans would be wary.

Have a good day, and thanks for answering.

I did catch a lot of that vibe the few times I poked into that corner of fandom. And the navel gazing as well. I went in looking for some fic on the characters I'd liked and found very little outside the Billy/Teddy stuff. But, hey. Pre-movie Avengers fandom should have prepped me for that. ;) LOL

Oh absolutely! I get why it could be cause for concern, and I'm iffy on the idea of him being part of the team itself. It does seem like a "This character is popular! Put him everywhere!" play.
