I like to think the ULTIMATES is more of a way for Mark Millar to do a commentary of what a superhero team funded by the Government (specifically under the Bush administration) would be like in a post 9/11 world. I feel that in a similar way to the MCU's Spider-Man, the first three ULTIMATES would act as a trilogy developing the characters to becoming the ones we know from the main 616 universe. But instead ULTIMATES 3 was given off to Jeph Loeb, who despite having a two previous comics developing characters and setting them on the path to becoming true heroes, didn't fall through with it. My real problems relating to the ULTIMATES is that I feel the characters should have been given more time and scenes to establish there respective pro's and con's so they don't feel as out of left field or bizzar. Also, the Chitauri should have been setup from the beginning. Their inclusion during the last third of ULTIMATES 1 is just weird to me. I can admit that ULTIMATES has a lot of problems, but that doesn't stop me from enjoying it. To me, it's highs way out way it's lows. But the MCU is better I can admit that.
Great video mate, very few people talk about the Ultimate Universe influence on the MCU and Marvel movies in general. You make very interesting and well written videos, subscribed!
