Paul HermannHOST
That makes a lot more sense.
Paul HermannHOST
So I do like the fact that, you know, because in the comics, because I remember I knew he she was based on Janet Van Dyne, the Wasp.
Paul HermannHOST
Right.
Paul HermannHOST
But we all know that Ultron's based off of Henry Pym, right? from the comic books, right? So obviously that's negated.
Matt ParentHOST
Yeah.
Matt ParentHOST
They break into Pym Laboratories and Janet Van Dyne is there and she calls Dr.
Matt ParentHOST
Strange.
Matt ParentHOST
It's
5 MINS LATER
Allison ParentHOST
And I like the impracticality of that.
Matt ParentHOST
It's pretty impractical.
Matt ParentHOST
You know who they were just with right before that, though? Janet Van Dyne.
Allison ParentHOST
Oh, she totally has a bunch of wigs.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
Okay.
JackHOST
And he made Hank Pym put the mind of Janet Van Dyne into Joe Casta because he was based on Hank Pym.
JackHOST
He wanted to marry Hank Pym's wife.
JackHOST
So that was the story of that.
NigelHOST
I mean, it would
DapoHOST
be hard for it to make, I mean, because in the comic, if I remember correctly, it was Janet Van Dyne, right? Yeah.
DapoHOST
Yeah.
DapoHOST
Yeah.
BoPANELIST
Two different AIs came together, did all that extra shit.
DreHOST
When she originally came out, she was white because it was Janet Van Dyke.
DreHOST
But yeah.
DreHOST
All right.
X7HOST
But guess who it is? You can't be surprised that Jocasta's here now.
X7HOST
Who she's based on is going to be something interesting because the original Jocasta had Janet Van Dyne's thought patterns in her.
X7HOST
The Wasp.
X7HOST
The original Wasp.
ScottHOST
That was very close to on my top 10.
ScottHOST
Another one, honorable mention, and then we'll flip over to a few of yours, is the Wasp, the black and gold outfit designed by Alex Ross.
ScottHOST
And it's a solid black outfit, and it just has a piece of gold that goes across the chest, and then like these segmented gold pieces that go down the abdomen.
ScottHOST
Really, really sharp looking outfit.
ScottHOST
And I kind of like the fact that it very much leans into the whole bee, wasp, hornet, you know, kind of vibe.
ScottHOST
You know, of course, Janet Van Dyne as a character was herself a fashion designer.
ScottHOST
So she probably has more costumes
TonyHOST
than any
EmmyHOST
Oedipus's mom
KeithHOST
yes and in the comics Hank Pym Michael Douglas's character is the one who actually creates Ultron it's kind of like a an allegory to basically a parallel to Frankenstein and so he's created a monster and he the monster looks to him as his dad uh and he forces him to make him a bride and the personality of um Janet Pym is who he uses to fill the the the synthezoid with so technically it would be his mother it would
EmmyHOST
be his mom
KeithHOST
that he's making into his bride so Oedipus there you go the
KevinHOST
So when it comes to Ultron deciding to make his bride, he's like, well, I'm kind of based on Hank Pym.
KevinHOST
I love Janet Van Dyne.
KevinHOST
So I'm going to kidnap the Wasp and hook her up to this machine.
KevinHOST
We're going to steal her brain patterns and make Jocasta.
JatavianHOST
That's fascinating.
VaughnHOST
Especially when you look back at the comics, how the Vision character came to be from Mind Waves of Simon Williams and Ultron from Hank Pym, later on Jocasta from Janet Van Dyne.
VaughnHOST
Yeah.
VaughnHOST
I think they've found a really creative way to kind of work around being tied to those specific things, but still having them tied back to
