That last comment is to me like the proverbial red flag to a bull. You know retconning the MCU for Janet and Hank isn't on the same list of Disney's priorities as fitting the X-Men and the FF in. Disney has made it very clear they don't give a damn about Hank or Jan.

Yeah, I know. But Ant-Man director Peyton Reed has said he's interested in doing a Hank and Janet movie, and this could be the perfect opportunity. If they're gonna fit X-Men and FF into the MCU it's gonna require a pretty drastic retcon, and there won't be much reason to keep any of Edgar Wright's stuff in there in that case. And do you or anyone else really care about Scott and Hope, anyway? Remember, the comics are gonna want Hank and Janet back too because readers are getting antsy, pardon the pun. But let's avoid that red flag because I know you're not feeling well, so I won't bring it up until we know for sure.

Peyton Reed doesn't run Disney. I think they'll want to disturb the MCU as little as possible in their retcon. The MCU is their dominant thing. I don't see them much motivated to do anything about Scott, Hope, Hank and Jan. They already showed how little they care about Hank and Jan. I don't think they give a damn what comic fans want. Yeah, we should drop this topic now.

Claremont did a great job, particularly with female characters. He creaeted or developed a bunch of the best female characters in comics.

Yeah, too bad I wasn't reading X-titles until after he left.

Thanks, Jen. That is troubling. Too many people have passed already. I'd hate to lose Stan Lee. I know he's old and probably doesn't have that many years left anyway, but still...
