Re: the swearing -- these aren't like Earth-2 counterparts or anything. These aren't heroes from some alternate "Silver Age." And they're not even really Silver Age, if you want to get technical.
But my point: If Hawkeye NOW swears, then Hawkeye of five years ago would also swear. So whether real or Skrull, these are all "modern" takes on the characters -- the crashed ship ones are just from a couple of years ago (Marvel Time)...

Jewel is not really a silver age hero anyway.. Jessica Jones swears, thats who she is.

Good Vista joke. I agree that notifications of armor failure do not need to come every panel or two - it's just distracting. But as daccampo notes, these heroes are far from Silver Age. They appear to be classic early '80's Marvel, which for us old folks was a superb era, and one with coarse language.

Nice review. I didn't pick up on the silver age foul language, but now I'm bothered by it as well. I agree that there was frustratingly little advancement of the story here. The art was spectacular though, which sort of made up for it.
