Kwyndig posted:Wasn't that kind of Pacific Rim? Not entirely. The russian and Chinese robots were kinda representative of their respective cultures in some ways, but Gypsy Danger (ugh) and the australian robot just looked like generic japanese mechs. There wasn't anything particularly American or Australian about their designs, and definitely nothing anywhere near the lunacy of a dutch windmill robot or a statue of liberty cannon. Plus all the cool foreign robots die in the first act and it becomes a one man show for the rest of the movie, which was the lamest thing.

The Sentry cradles Ronan like an infant and flies straight up back to the Kree Homeworld. (Note: Ronan died on the way back to his home planet)

The only thing I know about Gundam is that they're cheap plastic robots you can do fun things with.

Like, if there's a bank robber or something with a gun, he could find someone the guy wouldn't shoot, like his wife or a child or someone, then just do basically the same thing. Isn't that how he beat the Sandman years ago? Like, before or after the vacuum thing.

If tearing it apart was always an option, why was this robot such a problem. They really made it seem like it was sturdier than that.

How was Spidey going to get close enough without getting SHROOMED? He had to wait until the sentry had its Alzheimer's moment with Ronan first. Also, Spidey's strong enough to rip open alien metal which is probably tougher than steel and meant to withstand the inside of a volcano, but he gets jobbed by a hungry Ronan in a diner with his toy hammer.

With this feat I'm pretty sure Newspaper Spidey has established that he's far, far physically stronger than his comics incarnation, because drat.

Spider-Man has always been really loving strong. Proportional strength of a spider and all that. He's not one of the heavy hitters of the Marvel Universe (like Hulk and Thor, for example) but he's close. There was a story some time ago where Doctor Octopus body-swapped with Spider-Man, and then went out to try and prove he could be a superhero too. On his first fight he was shocked to discover Peter Parker had always pulled his punches. How did Doc Ock find this out? He punched a dude in the face, nearly killing him as a result. e. strength scales:

Oh sure, he's strong, but "tearing apart volcano-proof alien metal with his bare hands" is a new level compared to his comics benchmark.

Yeah this whole arc has just been weirdly paced and laid out. Like, I could understand Spidey being able to beat the sentry in a fist fight but not being able to get close because of death rays and the fact that it attacked Albuquerque instead of somewhere he could web swing around in, but being able to just casually rip its head off after he disabled the death rays? That's just lazy writing.

The entire Superior Spider-Man was worth it for Goblin's reaction to the man purse line because good god I have never seen so much hate crammed into one panel.  I loved that all it took was one bad joke for Goblin to know Pete was back in control. I also remember reading somewhere that his bad jokes are the reason other superheroes never wanted to work with him. Push El Burrito fucked around with this message at 15:06 on Apr 13, 2017 |

Yeah the proportionate strength of a spider is no joke in comic book universes. Spider-man could probably tear a person in half like wet tissue paper if he wasn't a good guy.Push El Burrito posted:
It's a variety of things honestly. His terrible sense of humor is just one of them. Spider-man is like your broke cousin who keeps trying to make it in stand up but doesn't realize his one-liners just aren't professional level. Depending on whose writing him comics Spidey is a veritable magnet of misery, and most heroes don't want to get caught in his orbit in case any splashes onto them. Edit: You'll notice that the few times he does team up for more than an issue it's been with groups like the Avengers, who are big enough to handle the fallout of a bad Spider-man day.

But given the nature of NSM, I could be right, I could be waaaaay off
