    I think everyone in this thread would, Buttocks. We all dream of it.

The Quicksilver and Wanda thing was one of the many reasons I stopped reading that line...but recently I broke and picked up a few of the issue where Quicksilver went villain simply because a few people told me he was pretty cool in the issue.
    I actually like Ultimate Quicksilver, mostly because he was a fairly "consistent" character. The thing that bugs me with 616-Pietro is that it took a very long time for Marvel to figure out the character. In the beginning, he didn't really have a distinct voice, he was like any other hero , then when a writer (forgot his name) decided to separate him from his twin, he was written as a huge HUGE *******. Likewise, Pietro and Wanda's origins were rewritten a few times and as a result their history is super convoluted. Reading the old comics, it sometimes feels as though I'm reading a different character because the personality and history is different than how he is currently depicted.
    By the time Marvel decided to do the Ultimate line, they knew who Quicksilver was supposed to be from the get go: son of Magneto, a smart ass with a violent streak who usually means well but fails. There is no High Evolutionary, no Whizzer, no Bova, no Django Maximoff to contend with. He doesn't change from a happy go lucky guy to gigantic douche in one issue.
    As for the incest, I didn't mind it. I'm fairly immune to the idea of fictional characters being incestuous (I think that's because I've watched a lot of japanese cartoons and comics where incest is a bit more common for some weird reason.) In a way, it sort of made sense for Pietro and Wanda to be like that. I mean, if Magneto is the guy who raises you, you can't come out of that experience without being a bit twisted.

    It was in Infinity War and No some of the heroes had "evil" doppelgängers to face the real guys. I forget which is which though.....

    Does anybody have a link for the mash up that was done with QS's new movie costume, and the old X factor dialogue? I think it was Living Silver, but I'm not sure.

    It was too good to be lost with everything else on the old boards.

    Early reports coming from movie viewers are that despite the questionable wardrobe, Quicksilver steals the show in the scenes he's in for DoFP.

    I'm glad to hear that. People must know and fall in love with Pietro's sassiness

    Hopefully he's popular enough that they can give him bigger roles in future movies. I like Evan Peters.

    I've watched my share of Japanese cartoons and incest in them is too common but it's to be expected when you watch Japanese animation so you're prepared. Though I still don't get their attraction with that concept. Now when it comes to ultimate version of the twins I know that being Magneto's children, especially the ultimate one and being raised by him it's not surprising but expected that the they'd be fucked up and them being incestuous was probably close to realistic portrayal. But having said that I just can't get past the fact that incest is fucking disgusting and I don't want to read about superheroes that do sick and disgusting stuff like that. And it's not like I want my heroes to be boyscouts and goody two shoes, far from it, I actually prefer anti-heroes or morally grey characters. But in ultimate comics every other hero was just a horrible and completely unlikable and irredeemable *******. Everyone was either a racist, drug addict, cannibal, sexual deviant, wife beater or psychopath. There were very few that weren't like that. Actually I think only ultimate comic that didn't feature characters like that, at least as main characters/heroes, might have been ultimate spidey. No wonder it's the only title that has consistently stayed popular compared to others... (not that there aren't probably many other reasons but still)

    That is good news. I may not being seeing the movie but any good press for Quicksilver is worth having. Who knows maybe Marvel comics will be more motivated to push Pietro if the movie does well.

    I'm sure if the movie is a success Fox will be like....
