Okay, I'm getting farther into Hickman's Avengers run, and it's really starting to get good.
The writing for Thor and Hyperion, in particular, is fantastic. I love the friendship that they're forming.

Lol, if it were everyone on that cover, SHIELD would be extremely fucked. The Doctor alone, what with knowing sentences and shit.

And then Cap pulls out Blue Marvel/Spectrum/voodoo/female Thor/Wanda and no longer mismatched
The picture isn't mean to be literal, Strange is off in space with Thor and Hyperion preparing to push someone's shit in with his full fucking sentences.
Sooo owned
That was so fucking good, how could Steve not see that one coming? Did he really think
that of all things, this would be the thing that broke them up? He really did not get Sue at all, she'd easily blow up an alternate world to save her family. Shit, she wouldn't even have to think about it.
Reed was like 12 steps ahead of everyone and didn't even bother hiding that final trump card until the end, holy fuck
Namor's back on the team and Black Bolt is back in action

Yeah but Steve still has another group of Avengers
Who does he have left at this point?

He still has the Uncanny Avengers. Remember he has three teams.

We don't know if that's accurate 8 months from now.
Or if they even want to get involved, remember that the mutant population, or at least the schools, aren't exactly seeing things on Cap's terms.
Yeah let's reminisce about that fine moment.
What was she thinking? She ain't Binary no more.
Considering what the next avengers cover looks like you may get your wish.
She was thinking she was hot shit.

Namor is on Reed's side?
Yeah, Illuminati are still fucked. They just think they've won.

Which is the biggest mistake they could make. It's not about winning anymore.
I'm genuinely curious to see how "not losing" will play out.
Pretty sure it stopped being about winning and this was all just to put an end to petty "sides".
And in order to do that Cap needs to be convinced to put his shit to the side, for at least the time being.
AFAIK, Steve is the only person who's being completely stubborn. And it's gonna be tough to convince him.

The end point of any Illuminati story is always "we should've been heroes, not kings." Their creation and existence is always at odds with the fundamental rules of Big Two comics.
Steve may be taking it too far, but he is largely correct. They've destroyed worlds and killed heroes. Namor is the worst of all, and having him by the Illuminati's side illustrates that Reed has learned nothing. Even Hickman will probably have the end of all this be something completely outside of their plans, a single heroic act by someone they couldn't predict.
I mean, they're cool, but this is the Authority, folks. They're bad guys you want to root for.
He's also lost sight of the larger problem though: the incursions. He's been more obsessed with catch Reed and the Illuminati than finding a solution to the real problem. There's a reason Natasha and Jessica betrayed him, that Thor went off into the multiverse. Steve is on a personal vendetta, it isn't about saving people or being a hero. If it was he'd be trying to stop the incursions as well, instead of being the only team not doing a damn thing about them.
That's true. But Steve is only focusing on a SINGLE part of the problem. All he's been doing is chasing the Illuminati all over the world without dealing with the Cabal (and it looks like he doesn't even have a plan to deal with them at all). He's just hell bent on getting the Illuminati. Not to mention that by letting the Cabal deal with the Incursions, he's letting other worlds be massacred and destroyed. Something that he was adamant about the Illuminati not doing because that would ruin them. Just dealing with the Illuminati by itself is letting the Cabal destroy other worlds, he's a hypocrite!
And if he did want to stop the Cabal, he has BLUE MARVEL of all people, why did he reveal all his pieces on the board just for the Illuminati? Steve is obsessed and stubborn. All he cares about is the Illuminati.
I bet he doesn't even know how to fix the Incursion problem. Oh and "letting the Cabal do it" doesn't count because Steve does not believe in necessary evil.
To be fair, that's what Reed thinks but for all we know Steve might still have some cards up his sleeve.
That's not a nice thing to say about Sam
lol
