I can't help but see this as a dig against Steve Ditko; he was.....he sure was.

And I love that we spent 2 weeks with MJ coming up with a plan and getting to Spidet, then another week of Spidey saying "no time to explain" when it comes to the plan, then just 2 days for Spidey to hand Ronan to the Sentry, and the Sentry just puts Ronan down then proceeds with his attack

It's 100% a dig at Ditko. I dunno, maybe once you've frozen out the creator as just some work for hire schlub you shouldn't take potshots but hey-ho.

He has refused any money for spider-man. They found him using spider-man artwork as cutting boards

I want a class of school children to be there shouting out criticism to Spidey, asking why he didn't web Ronan to the Sentry's face or hands or something.

Pete's plan did actually work. It let him, and rocket, get close to the sentry to attack it, without getting shot by shroom beams. He used Ronan as a shield and now Rocket is taking the Sentry down....

I remember reading a piece on Ditko a while back that said a tenant next to his art studio got his mail once and she accidentally opened it, and it was a big rear end check from some movie studio. I don't exactly know how much rent is for art studios in NYC but I can't imagine they're cheap. He must be accepting some money from them because I don't believe his fringe work from the 90s is making a lot of bucks.

Ditko's super into objectivism, so that's why the Ayn Rand thing would be a dig on him. That said, that panel is referencing an actual thing that happened in Amazing Spiderman.

Ditko was extremely libertarian, and created objectivist characters such as Mister A and The Question.

Pete had a really weird internal life during the Ditko years because Steve and Stan had totally different worldviews and Peter's somehow reflected both.

Which I guess isn't that strange for a college kid.

It honestly adds to the series as a whole, in my opinion, as Pete still has to continue to grow out of being a shithead nerdlinger even after Uncle Ben gets his.

Yep. It's not like it's entirely accidental, either, one of the main hooks of early Spidey is if he's going to stay a hero, quit, die on the job, or go bad from the grief life shovels his way. His bitterness is very real, it's just that the objectivism adds to it in a way Ditko probably didn't mean.

Bad Webcomic Dominic Deegan had a rape scene.

It was very bad, because we were also supposed to feel sorry for the rapist, who only did it to save the girl's life, because a bunch of orcs would kill her if he didn't.

Later the girl's friend finds out about this and is angry at the rapist, but it turns out she's only angry because of literal demonic influence.

Dominic Deegan's jazzhands is basically second place to Ctrl-Alt-Del's loss.jpg in the "memes from bad webcomics" category. If you really want context, a search for dominic deegan jazzhands will give you a link to the strip in question even though "jazzhands" never appeared in the comic itself.

I just figured it was a loss edit since Rocket kinda looks like hes already in the pose from the first panel. After reading that I wish I still believed that.
