I like how the other onlookers are totally okay with this usage of superpowers

I assume they thought he was just a really good mime with a weird gimmick.

Yeah, everyone smiling happily at the weeping mime is a bit weird.

Also seems like a bit of an over the top reaction from Sue to jump straight to torturing the guy

I like how loving Spider-Man is okay with such a petty and vindictive of superpowers.

With great power comes great dickishness.

I don't think I've ever seen a mime in the Marvel universe who wasn't a supervillain, so Sue was probably doing everyone a favor.

It's also not nice to compare people with hideous physical mutations to animals.

Also, for gently caress's sake, people, are we really concern trolling this? Did I come into PYF by mistake?

I'm not concerned about the fictional mime, I just do not find the situation as humorous as it was intended to be.

So we're okay with the mime reminding Ben yet again that he's outwardly a stone-monster and people will endlessly judge him solely on his appearance, but rear end in a top hat-mime getting a little karma thrown his way by someone very close to Ben is too much.

This. Also, it's probably the most consistent aspect of Sue's character that you DO NOT gently caress with her family. If there's any situation where she'd be willing to get a little vindictive with her powers, this is it.

Ben had his feelings hurt by someone he was aware of. The Mime literally is weeping in horror as he believes he is going to die. These are not equal. The mime is a shithead but the response to someone making fun of a friend of yours is not to pull a gun and shove it in their face.

I'm not tearing my hair out over it but I just don't genuinely think it's funny.

what if a child, a miniature youth person, like for instance KittyEmpress or WickedHate, reads this and decides it's good to trap a clown in a space box with their mind because the clown said things to a rock man, in French

what then

You can think something isn't funny without believing it will make children murder people.

Having the mime walk into an invisible wall would be the same gag without the "um, did Sue just murder a man while Spider-Man tells her her dead brother would like it?" element.

Or maybe if you live in a world where it is common public knowledge that people have super-powers it's not a wise idea to make fun of their friends

Last I checked, who the Fantastic Four are and what they can do was not a secret.

Just a thought.

It's like that drat kid-Loki comic that I forget the name of or I'd find it, someone comes right up to the Asgardian and smacktalks her and oh hey he gets thrown out a window, who could have possibly seen that coming, what is this 'consequences of your actions' of which you speak

I live in a world where people carry guns and I still would think someone is lovely for pulling a gun over an insult.

Also punching someone with super-strength and webbing them to a mailbox is an extremely disproportionate response to street crime and is furthermore a gross violation of a person's constitutional rights

The consequences for "poking fun at a guy" should not be "made to believe they are going to slowly be crushed to death". The good guys should not torture people, this isn't a difficult concept.

Ben wasn't just made fun of, he was hit in a very open wound that constantly haunts him, so yeah, gently caress the mime. Ugly art kind of ruins it for me though.

"Very open wound" my rear end. It's been 55 years, it's time to stop being a giant rocky baby about it.
