Zeck has done some things well, but his Secret War stuff was pretty phoned in.

Yeah, I employed that language to demonstrate that "giants" come in human-sizes as well making your suggestion that Ultron is 'always human-sized' less than meaningful given that it's a spectrum that includes exactly what I was suggesting.

Also, there's no inconsistency in what I wrote because what I was drawing upon is the fact that Ultron has never been illustrated as smaller than Iron Man, despite being listed as such in OHotMU. The extrapolation being that you kinda have to toss out official listings and use iconic imagery and artists (such as Byrne and Perez).

I used to draw a lot of comicbook art as a hobby as a kid which may account for my seeing things differently than you. I look at limbs - comparative length and width - trunks/torsos along the same lines and I count the number of heads-high for height in proportion to the skull. That's generally how they train artists to draw the human form - IIRC it's the eight heads rule? But, whatever, you grease your skids however you choose, everyone has a different perspective.

I wouldn't use a top down angle for a height comparison, but, yes, they are close. But that's also not the point I'm making.

Yuuuuup, that's only ever been the point I've been making from the very start, yet here we are...

Hmmmm, I'm not asking you to give me anything because your opinion is immaterial to mine. See my earlier 'consensus' remark.

Haha! Snark on, my dude! Yes, my order has not arrived yet. Still looks pretty ugly though; they should have gone with an ab crunch and could have if they weren't shooting for a sleek toned stomach. Ultron doesn't exactly strike me as body insecure and a light-beer drinker.

Well, ok. I said the same thing about the Abomination years ago regarding the delivery of a proper Hulk. Time will tell...

This was the best part because it smacked as the most disingenuous. I find it curious when people employ the micro, line by line response technique - a style that I've seen you deploy in other situations. It demonstrates a certain tedium, fastidiousness, and pettiness that doesn't quite line up with, "this is all beneath me." I'm not debating anyone when I respond here. This is how I express my thoughts online, or in person - in their fullness. I can't help when someone assumes a defensive posture, that's more about them than it is about me.

As far as my schtick is concerned (you getting fresh with me, Rudy Ray??? )...lol...uhhhh...you don't exactly have a record here free of acrimonious conversations. And couldn't everything you've posted here over the last few hours fall into the category of at least courting the very debates for which you claim to have no desire?

It's all good man, as long as you picked up some extras of that bum azz Spymaster you were so happy to get and did your job to clear that shit off the pegs! You can tuck this Ultron under your pillow along with Spysie!

Jokes...I'm just fucking wit' you...'til next time!

Edit: oh shit, next time came sooner than I thought...

Lol I'm not making anything up as much as you might not be paying attention. He said the only update he would want was the '99 version, which I also want and would have preferred to this one. Not to mention the tongue and cheek nature of those last two sentences - but I guess I should come to expect certain things here, you know what they say about arguments with 'tards' - jokes again...

Seriously tho', you don't exactly sound like someone not looking for friction. But anyway...s'all gud, still.
