"Bobby Bad Ideas (BBI), the new CEO of Disney is super into whichever changes you pick in the medium we pick that can never be reversed and is the CEO of Disney from 2020 to 2044 he spends his entire tenure boosting this concept that you pick: he thinks having multiple versions of a character is a needlessly confusing so marvel pulls a new 52 and continuity is abruptly hammered into the shape of the MCU with the X-men in their own parallel dimension, the only parallel dimension for the X-Men movie franchise, so the fantastic Four don’t exist, Spider-Man is a kid again, and the Wasp is Hope, Iron Man is dead, etc. like the Star Wars Comics, Marvel comics have to mesh with whatever the movies and TV shows say, and are explicitly subordinate to the movie and TV continuity. BBI did not see the Spider-Verse movie and does not care to. OR BBI fucking loves Hank Pym, and the most important relationship in the Marvel Universe is the rock-solid marriage/partnership and love between Hank and Jan, Ant-Man and the Wasp, founders and leaders of the Avengers. Hank and Jan’s entire history is retconned to have always been a functional and successful adult relationship, and they are at the center of every crossover and line-wide event for the foreseeable future, it is kind of like how John Byrne’s reboot of Superman post-Crisis burned everything and rebuilt, except it’s grotesque.
