ADour wrote: Ultimates 3 and Ultimatum completely ruined the Ultimate Universe. Stories with no sense ("Quicksilver is in love with Scarlet Witch, I'll kill her instead of him for some reason" - Ultron), extreme sexualization of female characters (specially Valkyrie), needless gore ("Tastes like chicken," or pop-head Doc Strange), heroes totally out-of-character (Hakweye as a suicidal lunatic, Thor suddenly in love with Valkyrie), zero fricks about continuity (Ultimate Doom was in the Zombieverse, the Ultimates knowing who the hell Venom was, and he even had the white spider logo, which he never had in the Ultimate Universe), and the countless deaths of characters for the sake of drama.

I think an IGN reviewer describes Ultimatum perfectly as "like having your older brother root through your toy box. He takes out all your favorite toys and proceeds to smash them together. Maybe he forces G.I. Joe and He-Man to kiss passionately. Maybe he ties a string of firecrackers to the whole lot and watches them explode. Imagine all that trauma. What else can you do but run downstairs and tell Mom? Only in this case, imagine Mom pats older brother on the head and rewards him for a job well done. Then she looks over to you and demands four bucks for all your trouble. That is what reading Ultimatum is like."

There's a reason why Linkara reviewed those two mini-series.

Oh I do not disagree, though I think the Ultimate universe is slowly recovering. They are definitely the worse things he has done. But as I said, Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes is personal, that is all.
