Yeah, he's hopelessly trapped in this ugly form of himself, but if you look at it the monster form represents his true self. A murderer and wife abuser along with all kinds of other horrible things.
@unclefranklin4575 Жыл бұрын
I can't say I like the fact that they later added he abused his wife. Him not telling her who he really is a sad but humanizing story, and it's extremely depressing seeing him being tortured using a video of them together. But all that is kinda ruined now that the marriage was actually horrible, and Emil just evilly laughs after Nadia fails to kill him.
@plasticweapon Жыл бұрын
if he's being written right, you should never feel sorry for him.
@DIEGhostfish Жыл бұрын
@@tubucoco I actually seriously hate the wife abuser retcon. (Also there was another comic that tried to half-retcon that and say he had two wives with the same name, but that comic itself got declared a What-if of sorts with its own universe number or temp universe number on the wiki, so I guess he was just madly in love with the same woman he abused.) Honestly have the one he abused be some old communist brainwashing victim s who was supposed to be a check on Blonsky with the abuse being false memories to motivate her. Of course in 2023 that doesn't really work as well as it would have in the old days. Then again Eastern Europe's a mess again so a malevolent slavic conspiracy's probably back in the books.

At least one other person IN marvel disliked the Nadia revenge and wrote a whole mini where The Abomination had two wives with the same name and only beat one of them. This got classed as its own alternate universe though. I would much rather have gone even further and sad the Nadia who remembered the abuse was not the real Nadia, some sort of brainwashed puppet of the old Yugoslav or Soviet government. (I stole this idea from somewhere but I don't remember where.)
