.... dickery

[blackruzsa]

The one thing that pissed me off in Avengers: the Children's Crusade #5

People acting like Vision has no feelings.







Okay, so I gave in. I thought, Cassie's an okay character. Given, my least favorite character, but an okay character nonetheless.

SCRATCH THAT, SHE'S A DICK.

Nate, I forgive, since he's not quite totally aware that 1) Vision got newfangled feelings and humanity and 2) He was dating Cassie. I think.

Cassie, on the other hand, drops Vision like a hot potato as soon as Iron Lad drops in, forgetting that Vision--NO, JONAS, LOVED HER.

:I Cassie, you are dead to me. Dead to me.

....

Okay, rant over. Disregard all that I said up there, or most, anyway, since it's a rage-filled opinionated thingie. Unless, you know, you agree with me, at which point we can rant together.

I know Cassie hasn't done that yet but as of yet, she's still being insensitive to Jonas' feelings. I know she's not a total dick, but she still has dickery tendencies that I cannot let pass without them getting called out.

TBH Cassie's character has not appealed to me all that well. She was cruel to her mother, to her stepfather, she decided after two hours that Nate was her boyfriend... She is a brat. A brat with good qualities, but with the essential qualities of a brat, all the same.

Poor Jonas. He is his own person, dear god, and they treat him like a prop.

.........

And okay, so I laughed at the idea, even the suggestion, that Vision would go to Wanda again. Really, Nate, really?

That would be acceptable too.

Cassie crushed on Iron Lad and only went for Vision because he got Nathaniel's personality implanted in him, right? Same way original Vision was based on Simon Williams.

[blackruzsa]

Yeah, but by now with.. what, one, two years you'd think she'd take the guy she's been dating for that long over the guy she knew for two hours.

[tahngarth.livejournal.com]

You'd think, but I remember what it was like being 14. It's not exactly the most rational age, especially for romances.

[daningram.insanejournal.com]

Maybe she likes Nate's shinier cod piece?

"I think I'll take the Black Russian today, Baldric. It always terrifies the clergy."

She'd be fifteen now, I think

[jazzypom]

But yeah, at that age, you're supposed to be a dick. It's when you're past eighteen and still acting like a dick, I'll give you side eye.

I'm more mad at Nate coming in as if he were Mighty Mouse only to make things possibly worse?

human flesh = sex. Teenage immaturity and self centeredness + hormones + a choice between a boyfriend with genitals and one without isn't really a choice to most people at that age.

[lieut_kettch]

I would say it's more a choice between a single set of squishy flesh-genitals and numerous useful rock-hard robot devices.

...When I have to make a real-life choice between squishy flesh genitals and numerous rock-hard robot devices, I usually go for the former /TMI

usually

[blackruzsa]

.... But certain rock hard robot devices can vibrate.
Yeah okay I'll stop now.

[blackruzsa]

Well when you put it that way....

Cassie and Vision.

Wrong. She had no interest in him in the original Young Avengers, (although he clearly had an interest in her) and they didn't get together until some time later, I think around YA Presents, when Vision got his own unique personality.

Re: Cassie and Vision.

Trudat.
In the YA Presents she decided to give him a try and their relationship flourished in the Mighty Avengers run I believe.
