Lurdiak posted:I never got why that blinking guy became a meme, it's just a guy blinking. Because reaction gifs are popular and his expression was just exaggerated enough to be noticed and ambiguous enough that it could be used for surprise, indignation, or false indignation. Also it was only his face so there was no need to crop out other things or context. It was pretty versatile.

Lobok posted:Peter could run a repair shop. Keeps him tinkering rather than Tony Stark-style inventing, makes the community a supporting cast, and leaves him with time and cover to be gone when he wants assuming he has partners or employees to run the shop in his stead. And it means he gets decent money rather than playboy riches or hobo destitution. May could be the cashier. Or Hobie Brown could be his business partner. You could even include a retcon and say Uncle Ben used to run one (before he was an electrician or whatever his job was...?) And there'd be all kinds of interesting comic book science stuff for him to solve. Like people's refrigerators are floating because of some recent supervillain in the area who Peter and Hobie should be the current day Billy Mays and uh, whoever the OxyClean guy is. Just come up with gadgets and poo poo, dumb 'em down a bit/a bunch, sell them on late night infomercials. LadyPictureShow fucked around with this message at 20:14 on May 17, 2017 |

Fair point, but it's 2017 now (who the Hell knows what time void NSM exists in). 'Look, do you want to ask how I got outside Di Caprio's 16th story hotel window, or do you want this photo of him beating an underaged girl dressed like the Pope? I can take it to People.'

Aunt May is going to keep Peter in his seat long enough for the Mole Man to do whatever and get away, isn't she? (See also 'the Bruce Wayne problem'.)

Jerusalem posted:Goddamn do I love JJJ If you love JJJ, the 'Sweet Charity' one-shot comic from 2002 is a treat. It's a bit odd (because I think it actually was released for proceeds to charity) but al in all, the basics are at a charity event to raise money for 9/11 first responders IIRC Spidey and JJJ are at a celeb charity auction and are 'against' each other for a weekend camping trip (ofc JJJ is getting all the bids). Then drunk Al Kravenoff drops like one billion for the two of them to go camping. Together. Hilarity ensues, the Scorpion shows up. I think it's implied somebody shits them self?

One of my favorite JJJ stories is from Alias. He hires Jessica Jones to figure out Spider-Man's secret identity, and she takes the money and uses it on a charity for kids instead. From memory there's a panel where Robbie is going,"No Jonah it'll be a bad look if you sue somebody for giving money to sick kids....  "

Let's just say that wolf meat is not very good for you and leave it at that.

I was seriously expecting them to win by forcing Ronan to use up all his energy and then giving him nothing to feed on. Since that's typically what happens when you conspicuously introduce a plot element at the end of the first act works. But instead it's just this gloriously random scene, never to be mentioned again. Shine on, you crazy spider.

Jukebox Hero posted:Just wanna join everybody else in saying "gently caress me his shin whacking stick is legitimately more effective than most guns in this comic" I don't think Mole Man's whacking stick has ever actually failed even once, from security guards to Spiderman to the Thing. At this point it has a better record than Ronan's universal weapon.

I like how Mole Man hit those cops so hard that he switched their races. Edit: I also enjoy the fact that the Whacking Stick so far appears to be on par power-wise with Ronan's Universal Weapon. Edit2: It can't eat sandwiches though! Edit 3: CAN IT?!?! graham cracker fucked around with this message at 04:33 on May 19, 2017 |
