I'm loving these adventures of spider man and his computer gf. Tracy Scops does it again.

1. It was mildly disappointing that they did not have Jennifer Connelly reprise her role of A.I.-Karen for both Avengers: Infinity War & Endgame, as well as for Spider-Man: Far From Home.

Especially for Av: Eg, during the final (mass-)battle between The Black Order (the formal name for Thanos' organization & legions) versus the Avengers Assembled army, Parker could have exclaimed, "Activate Instant Kill!", and then A.I.-Karen could have responded, "Thought you would never ask...!" (or "Yes! Finally!") and start skewer-slaughtering The Black Order troops. ;D

2. But even more so for SpM: FFH, I think that having A.I.-Karen would have shown very good sequel-symmetry from SpM: Homecoming, and a more emotionally touching 'legacy'-gift from Tony Stark (Iron Man). To be clear, I did not 'hate' A.I.-Edith either, but also did not feel as much as of an MCU-audience connection/investment (even for a minor 'character') as I did with A.I.-Jarvis and A.I-Friday.

3. As for the h-comic itself...
- a.) I was relieved that Parker was genuine about being ignorant about his drunken-&-forgotten lewdness.
- b.) As well as A.I.-Karen being reasonable towards Parker for his honesty; that in-turn, is a return-sign of genuinely caring about someone. :)
- c.) Hopefully this will not turn ugly when adding M.J. to the mix in Haptics Protocol #3. I am really not interested in seeing A.I.-Karen turning this into a 'yandere' story. ;<

Thanks for uploading this, iamhere23. :)

4. [edited]: @Chup@Cabra ~ If you meant Lt. Commander Data from Star Trek: TNG? 'Technically' (pun intended), Data was legally classified and officially acknowledged by both Starfleet and the Federation as a fully Sentient Being rather than a "merely" an A.I. &/or robot. However, this legal status only applied to Data specifically, all other techno-beings having to be judged on an individual basis (including Data's first android daughter, Lal).

Likewise, there have also been other techno-beings across medias (games, novels, films, etc.) that did not "go Skynet" as well. For a few examples...
- a.) Sonny the robot, from I, Robot (2004 film) ~ Despite the accusations, persecutions, and attempt(s) to have him destroyed, Sonny (Alan Tudyk) resolutely stands with Detective Spooner (Will Smith) against A.I.-VIKI; the latter (VIKI) who DOES attempt to "go Skynet" upon Humanity. Though as a counter-balance, Dr. Lanning created Sonny with the specific purpose to NOT "go Skynet" upon Humanity; but by teaching Sonny the values of Humanity (compassion, empathy, respect for Life), unbound by The Three Laws, rather than trying to program such imperatives into Sonny.

- b.) EDI, from Mass Effect (2-3) ~ Character-wise, EDI was a tongue-in-cheek anti-thesis towards any "Skynet" themes; likewise, she filled the "Straight Man" comedic-role to Lt. Jeff "Joker" Moreau. Despite a number of comedic pokes at "Skynet" themes on EDI's part, she never actually countenances the thought of turning upon the Normandy Crew. Quite the opposite, EDI bonds very closely with several of them (Joker, Cmdr. Shepard, Samantha Traynor) and fights to protect/safeguard them against the threat of The Reapers (perhaps the highest form of "Skynet" threat across current medias).

- c.) A.I-Jarvis (& later the Vision), from the MCU ~ As the ever-exasperated caretaker of the endlessly impulsive Tony Stark (Iron Man), A.I.-Jarvis also never once turned upon Stark &/or the Avengers. More so in Avengers (2): Age of Ultron, when Ultron tried to destroy A.I.-Jarvis at the outset, Jarvis' shattered & scattered program-remnants worked to protect Humanity from Ultron; until Stark was able to recover & reconstitute Jarvis back into a whole being once more, and then 'upgrade' A.I.-Jarvis into the Vision. Likewise, the Vision never turned against Humanity either; though as a counter-balance, Vision had a relatively short MCU life before being destroyed by Thanos (so perhaps not enough time to have "gone Skynet").

All that being said, that does not discount the possibility that A.I.-Karen could turn on Parker; it is up to the fan-artist(s) storytelling. Personally, as I remarked above, I hope A.I.-Karen does not.

That's the kind of shit you don't want to forget. (I wonder how Karen will take the news of MJ?)

I guess I wasn't the only one who thought that Karen was flirting with Peter just a little bit in 'Homecoming', before urging him to try with MJ instead.

That being said, she's an A.I. who is probably less emotionally developed than Peter, and the ONLY A.I. that didn't go 'Skynet' eventually was Mr. Data..... so watch your back, Spidey! 0_0
