Travis343 posted:because he ate a bunch of turtles? yeah, probably Dammit, youtube is failing me. There's a scene early in Godzilla: Tokyo SOS where the anti-kaiju task force is called to the scene where a dying Kamoebas (a giant turtle first appearing in Space Monster Yog) beached. They make remarks about how much Bigger Godzilla is, and how he must eat turtles like this all the time. I'm pretty sure it's a not-so-subtle jab at Gamera.

IIRC that was originally scripted to be Godzilla's ol' buddy, Anguirus, but the producers decided that was maybe a little too grim.

It's one that's already come up here several times, I'm sure, but whatever gets the thread back on topic. Superior Spider-Man #31. Spoilers! For the entire run, Peter's body has been hijacked by Doc Ock, and he's been acting nothing at all like Spider-Man or Peter Parker. Fights were hard, quiet, and brutal, dilemmas were always solved by doing the smart thing, never the right thing, and slowly but surely, Otto ran Peter's life into the ground, and left the city in a state where the Green Goblin and co. could try to take over the whole city. Every time he tried to stop it, Norman wiped the floor with him, and before long figured out it was Otto Octavius, not Peter Parker, that he was fighting, and Norman used that to make things even worse for 'Peter' and the city. It's not until his darkest hour that Otto realizes he's only making things worse, that he can't fix this on his own, and gives his body back to Peter.  After thirty issues of a cruel, rambling, unheroic Spider-Man who we're supposed to hate, there is an absurd amount of catharsis and "things will be okay" in just seeing him quipping again. girl dick energy fucked around with this message at 14:21 on Aug 25, 2015 |

I feel like I may be the only person who actually liked the whole SpOck thing, because I thought it was a nice twist on the "redemption arc" concept. Otto was trying to be the best "good guy" he could be, but had no idea how to actually be a "good guy" so he filtered everything through his ego and selfishness. Plus the way Peter got his body back felt like a cop-out. Still, I love this moment. You can just feel Norman's amusement shift right into rage, the venom he puts into two little words.

There's something magical about that moment. I hadn't been following the SpOck story very closely, so when someone posted that page the Goblin's realization was my own. Seeing spider-man call out norman's man-purse, and knowing that it could only be Peter Parker... It was deeply satisfying. And the artist pulled off the close up reaction shot so perfectly.

I liked Spider-Ock, but because of Efrem Zimbalist Jr. I couldn't not read all of his lines in a thick German accent, which made it hard to believe anyone wouldn't realize it's not Peter immediately.

My favorite Spider-Ock moment was when he was working with Magneto on destroying some base or other and was all "What do you know about wrongful persecution?!" and Magneto said "Actually, I'm a survivor of the Holocaust." and Spider-Ock's reaction frame.

Something about the composition makes me read Magneto as all smug about his past trauma, like he can't wait to pull out that card whenever he starts being a rampaging dickhead against humans. He says it in the same inflection of "actually it's pronounced 'kin-wah'"

Reading the passage without the pictures is fine, but the artwork/composition is wonky.

I think I'd have liked Spock better if they hadn't made everyone he interacted with into a complete idiot to keep up the charade(really everyone who knew him should have had this figured out within a week, and this isn't even bringing in Telepaths, Super Science, or Magic in regards to how his secret should have been blown wide open), not to mention said arc ruined several characters in the process, especially Black Cat

Eh, it happens," or something like that? With special bonus mention of Spider-Man 2099's reaction being something along the lines of, "That explanation is so stupid, it has to be true."

From Scud the Disposable Assassin #24. The series is about a future where murder is legal. Scud is a vending machine robot who will kill whoever you want and then self-destruct after the target dies. Scud was sent to kill this freakish piecemeal squid monster called Jeff. Scud was reluctant to kill Jeff for a while, due to how it would cause self-destruction, but later found that Jeff appears to be unkillable. Jeff, as it turns out, is one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse. Anyway, the series was goofy fun and then got dark and aimless for a bit. Scud and fellow assassin Sussudio (human, but a robosexual) got involved in a plot where angels had imprisoned God and were preparing to take over all of reality. The lead angel killed Sussudio and sent Scud to Earth to do their bidding with Sussudio's resurrection being his payment. That's how Scud #20 ended in 1998. After that, creator Rob Schrab got tired of the comic, got better work in Hollywood and let the series die on a cliffhanger. It wasn't until Image asked about reprinting the issues that he decided to go back and end it. In 2008. After four more issues, taking place ten years after in-story, Scud and his friends end up in Heaven to combat the angels. He also has Jeff's beating heart with him. As he's thrashed by the lead angel, Scud goes to Sussudio's corpse and shoves the undying heart into her chest. Scud is chopped up while Sussudio's eyes open up.

There's actually very little fourth wall breaking in Posehn's run, but the thing about that whole scene is that he may or may not be aware that's Otto; yeah he does trash-talk Ock, but he also doesn't know why Spidey's not cracking jokes.
