    They're occasionally sort of given their due, I think the last time I cared was during Bendis New Avengers run but even though Wrecker was still shown to be powerful he was still played up as comically dumb.

    Even though they seem to only appear to get jobbed, they are meant to be tough jobbers at least.

    When we see the WC again on the show, I want to see how Bulldozer is supposed to ram people with his head wearing that helmet. It looks like it'd fall off.

    I'm just hoping that Crusher and Skeeter get together using the prison pen pal program.

    That would be interesting if Wong were a Skrull. I wonder if he would just be using advanced Skrull technology to look like he's using magic.

    Not unless Strange is a Skrull, too. He'd have to know if Wong wasn't really using magic, right?

    Oh, over-muscled knuckleheads can be really dangerous antagonists if played right. Just think how much horror a few idiots with guns conspiracy theory social media connections have wrought.

    I won't bet Disney+ will be this smart about it, but they can also be tragic if you give some thought to what would make idiots decide there's no route to bettering themselves but smash and grab.

    I remember in the classic first Secret Wars the Wrecker hurt Colossus pretty bad and then the whole crew with Titania, Absorbing Man, and Dr. Octopus put She-Hulk into a coma.

    They were a legit threat for decades then they turned into a laughingstock for some reason. Even the Runaways beat them up.

    I know, but on-paper they should be pretty formidable...of course that's not always what happens .

    It would be nice to see Absorbing Man and Titania's romance show up in the MCU. Although personality-wise Titania seems pretty different here.

    It happens.

    Like, look at Bane over at DC. Dude literally broke Batman and was a major threat in the 90's but now he's treated as an over-muscled jobber who gets taken out in five seconds when you slice his venom tubes.

    They did have Absorbing Man in Agents of SHIELD already (and killed him off), but I guess that's not canon to the main MCU anymore.

    But the writers turned it into a competition. When Bruce tells her she needs to learn how to control her anger, she belittles Bruce as if to say, "i go through so much more than you do."

    I mean really... the belittling of the hell Bruce has been through... very weird I thought.

    That’s one way to look at it….I guess. Another take is that before Bruce became the Hulk he was not in control of his anger and emotions. Which is one reason it took him 15 years to get where he is. He was making the assumption that Jen would have the exact same struggle.

    She was trying to get him to understand that her situation is different because she has a better handle on her anger and emotions so she doesn’t need to go through the same journey as him.

    That’s not belittling his struggle with his Hulk persona. It’s an explanation for why she doesn’t have that same struggle.

    Assuming it's still canon Cruel got killed in Agents of Shield. He turned himself into gravitonium and got absorb by Talbot to become Graviton.

    Let’s all say it together. Agents of Shield is not canon to the MCU.
