>>107840539That’s my point; MCU Stark is a faggot whose problems are shared by others. MCU Pym is more like 616 Stark for God’s sake.
>addiction The whole point of DiaB, before they run it to the ground, was that Stane made him vulnerable and while everything around him crumbled, he took solace in booze and women. When Bethany left him and the attacks kept coming, he sunk further down the bottle and had to climb back up. It wasn’t some long-form problem that it later became, which I agree is stupid. If you’re an alcoholic since you’re 15, your whole development is going to get fucked. You certainly ain’t growing to be a muscular 6ft+ Chad. His problem wasn’t alcohol specifically, it was addiction. Be it booze, women, extreme sports, and later the constant need for battle and adrenaline.
The point is that MCU Stark poisoned the well and now the 616 version is nothing like it used to be. He went from an Avengers Leader, a serious businessman and a man’s man, to some quipster who makes video games and employs talking cats, while reusing the alcohol storyline every 10 issues. It’s not an improvement, it’s a downgrade. His old personality was just fine. He was morally ambiguous, he had his personal problems, he had more depth than the average cape.
