#stopp not the Wasp’s position being compared to Rick’s who is a young powerless relatively-inexperienced sidekick#‘Why don’t we make his membership in the Avengers official as the Wasp’s is?’#is her membership unofficially less legitimate?#I thought we were just going with that she was a full part of the team but in execution was less important in fight scenes#also I noted before that the Avengers requiring that members always be available to help on missions whenever called#and it being a big deal if you miss even one mission#means that members have to be in contact a lot and tell the others when they go out of town and stuff#but even with all that contact they’re still maintaining secret identities and are meant to not pry into each other’s lives#which means that conversations are kept kind of vague#and here we see something that Steve clearly has a lot of emotions about discussed in the formal setting of a team meeting#I think that there’s a tension there between the commitment and loyalty and emotional investment#and also distance and formality that membership in the Avengers requires#that could be really interesting if explored in more depth#like they’re friends but they also have rules that they enforce punishments on others for breaking#like not being allowed to participate for a week#and as an aside this all seems very tied to the technology of the era#like I remember in the A:EMH cartoon the Avengers had their own impressive planes at the mansion#but the creative team here is not dreaming quite that big yet#the Avengers have to go to the airport#when Janet and Hank went out of town for a bit a few issues ago Thor was there to see them off in the plane#and they had to tell him how they’d be available to contact through radio#how characters travel and communicate isn’t so simple as I believe it’s portrayed in modern comics#but the specific procedures that that requires seems to me to be pretty integral to how these relationships and team memberships work#which is why that you’re apparently meant to reimagine these comics in a modern setting trips me up#the specific context is important and can’t just changed and not impact the story in any way#marvel#steve rogers#rick jones#my posts#comic panels
