      I hate when people lump "the comics" all together. It'd be like lumping together "the animated cartoons", despite being completely different interpretations of the characters.
      Yes, some comic REALLY hate Hank Pym (Ultimates, I'm looking at you). But some do him justice.

      ​@Handles_be_dumb Yeah, but those are more specific moments, not entire comic stories. And no matter what they seem to keep defining Hank by his mistakes.

    Hank was definitely one of the best written characters and they did a fantastic job depicting him without the more "problematic" aspects of his character as he clearly a pacifist and noble scientist who wants to make the world better without violence but loses that hope after creating Ultron and seeing how little things have changed and how he caused more chaos than he should've fixed. Thats why Hanks downfall as Yellow Jacket feels rather understandable from a mental perspective as he metaphorically kills himself so Yellow Jacket can be born and enact rhe justice Hank couldn't, but even then Hank's subconscious still keeps the villains he hunted down alive showing that though hes changed mentally he still finds balance and contempt on who he is.

      Fun fact: the most famous pacifists in history have been “problematic” in the same way. Einstein, John Lennon, Bob Marley, Ghandi… you name him, he was “problematic”. Psychology has actually studied this (but that’s a story for another day), so it makes sense they decided to write Hank this way

    My only complain with Hank's transformation into Yellow Jacket is the Avengers never acknowloging that they were play a part in Hank's mental breakdown. They were the ones who critize Hank for being a pacifist and trying to find no-violent solutions. He becoming this vigilante should be the moment they realize their mistake, learning a harsh lesson to be careful in trying to change people to fit their image, otherwise they can end up turning that person into something complety unreconizable.
    By the end of the episode they should apologize to Hank for the way they treated him through the show, understing now that, much like Hank need to be willing to fight to protect Janet and his friends, they should learn to use their head and come up with less violent solutions to solve the problems.

      Honestly, Hank should have came back to the team on the condition of being tech support, only going on the field as Yellow Jacket if necessary. This way, he can be part of the team and not feel like he's forcing himself to be part of the violence. I can see the Avengers accepting this.

      To me Hank brought it more on himself than he realize As he try to force things onto people without putting himself in their shoes also Fail to see Most of the villains are to far gone to see reason and the fact Tony only said it most likely out of guilt despite not admitting Hank was the reason for his own downfall

      They never forced him to change and they never forced him to leave. Plus when he did, they never pressed him to come back and they gave him space. Janet definitely pressed, but that’s cause she cares for him more inteimently. Did they criticize a bit, sure, but it’s not like they do it any more than they criticize each other. It’s not like he couldn’t have found alternative means to assist without fighting, but if he’s gonna get his undies in a bunch every time a villain has to be apprehended violently, that’s his hang up.

    If I'm being honest, I felt bad for Hank Pym in this series. He joined the Avengers because he wanted to help people, including the villains, but he had to continuously go against his scientific and pacifistic beliefs over and over again. Between making his creation, Ultron, a weapon against Kang, the conqueror, and being reprimanded for his pacifism by the Avengers, including Janet, it just made sense for him to quit. Janet really didn't help because she just wanted Hank to stay on the team for her own sake rather than considering what was best for him. It also didn't help that Ultron, Hank's own creation, almost destroyed the world. Despite helping to save Janet and the 9 realms, Hank was just in a bad place at the end of season 1 and during season 2. Janet simply wasn't helping and just made things worse. I honestly wish that Hank just ended his arc with having Scott Lang replace him as Ant-Man because his transition into becoming Yellowjacket just showed how messed up he became. Hank went against everything he believed and can be considered mentally unstable. He also shouldn't have returned to the team in his unstable state. Plus, Janet wanting Hank back on the team despite his terrible state of mind further shows how she only wants what is best for her rather than what's best for him.

    Anyone else feel like this version of Hank would have been much happier in DC? Even Batman strongly believes in rehabilitation and therapy for villians and Superman and Flash are really successful at times. And that's the thing here. Marvel has always come off to me as a more human and morally gray take on heroes. Tony Stark and even Steve Rogers aren't Superman or any of the trinity. The Justice League have always represented paragons of what heroes should be, but the avengers look more like what heroes more realistically would be.
