Context is for the Weak: Wanda's Gloves

[auggie18]

I don't think that's how one typically shows off gloves, Wanda.

"Guess where this fist in this glove is going, Agent Gyrich?"

"I wanted gloves before I did this for a reason!"

I can't imagine context doing anything but making this better. I'm guessing this is late 70s, maybe very early 80s, probably my favorite period of the Avengers.

It's from the Vision and the Scarlet Witch mini-series. 1985.

[fredneil.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I vaguely remember that series, but I hadn't realized Gyrich was around that long.

I mean, it's Gyrich. He was doing something to provoke obscene hand gesutres pretty much whenever he interacted with the Avengers.

Time for your prostate exam, Mr. Gyrich!

Considering Wanda's hex powers used to be gesture-activated, and she once used them to induce a physically impossible pregnancy, I'd say Gyrich is right to have that extremely worried look in the last panel...

I knew it would be this panel just by seeing the title of the post!

Don't know if this qualifies for "context is for the weak" status however, since in context it's exactly what it looks like here.

[cleome45]

Yeah. I had the same thoughts.

Still a funny moment, though.

The proud sweater vest is challenged by the brash evening gloves, in a fight long awaited.

Wanda taught me to love gloves, and Rogue reinforced it. I'm looking forward to seeing them together.
