8. Justifiably Horrified

So this next moment is weird, because it is only bad retroactively. If it weren’t for the rest of the story, it would actually be a decent moment. But given what happens later, it is monumentally terrible.

Wasp, ever clueless, runs up to Carol and tries to congratulate her on her new baby. Carol is pretty rightfully distraught at the TERRIFYING SITUATION SHE HAS JUST GONE THROUGH. Wasp even has the gall to call her “lucky”.

Yeah, no, I wish I was lucky enough to have a surprise baby force its way out of me.

That sounds like so much fun.

But again, Carol’s reaction is incredibly reasonable and justified. Remember this, because later, the comic will go out of its way to prove that this reaction was somehow foolish. It’ll be fun.
