> ..however, I'm still hopeful about this title and this arc. I think most of us agree that Ultron Model 890 has become fairly to very stale over the years, and Kurt gave us the ultimate 'Ultron Family Showdown' I think. To be made interesting again, something completely new had to be tried.

Because aside from being redundant, it doesn't make any sense for a character who previously identified himself as a male in all of his inter-relationships w/ his 'family', regardless of whether he actually was one or not, to now all of a sudden decide to be female. Having Red Skull have a daughter isn't the same as Red Skull having a sex change and becoming female. Having a female take up the inherently genderless mantle of the Crimson Cowl is not the same either, nor is having a female as Kang when it's not the original or prime Kang. Unless the She-Ultron in MA is ultimately revealed as being a divergent Ultron program or a new progeny of his attempting to steal his name, one would have a hard time convincing me that the depth of this character change is no deeper than Frank Cho wanting another set of DD's to draw.

....Bendis hasn't been known for his ideas on the Avengers--not since the redundant, badly-paced Chaos, right out of the gate--but it still remains to be seen why he's going to tell us Ultron has decided to maniest as a female.
Presuming of course that he will tell us--I doubt he won't: he's been taking a lot of heat from fans, and he's proven to me with his two Illuminati books that he can tell a solid, creative, traditional hero story that packs a 'wow' factor.
I really, really believe that Kang, Ultron, and the MOE really need new imaginative twists/redefintions to make them interesting again at this point in history. I would never want to sit through another 12-part Kang War like Kurt gave us.
Peace.
