Really, wouldn't you expect more buildings to have reinforced or bullet resistant windows in the marvel universe? Peter only has himself to blame.

Not really, the construction and architectural businesses must be making bank from constantly getting contracts to rebuild buildings demolished by The Hulk punching Dr. Doom into a skyscraper. Are they really going to plan to lose money by making a superhero-proof building?

A window that shrugs off Spider-man like a bee on the windscreen of a Kenworth, may not be able to withstand seventy tons of Hulkbuster armor, or indeed, a glancing blow from the Power Cosmic. We can do that for you, too, but it's a matter of, how much are you willing to pay?

To know that when that big dragon in the boxing trunks comes back, you're going to be the only building left with intact windows? I can tell you I'd pay a lot for that kind of peace of mind. But don't let me pressure you, just read these pamphlets and think about it. You've got our number? Great.

Someone like D-Man sees the pane sitting in the rubble and remarks on how strong that glass must be. Then like The Shocker is being cuffed and thrown into the paddy wagon and he yells out "drat you, Superhero Resistant Glass!" and D-Man chuckles and says "And it's super villain resistant, too!" before the logo and phone numbers come up on the screen. I think we could aim a little higher than D-Man, maybe we can get Hawkeye? No, the other Hawkeye, we can't afford her.

I mean, how often does Fisk even have to worry about Hulk-level heroes? Spider-man is probably the top level strength person he has to face regularly. Add Osborn, Mr. Negative, and other business villains and you got yourself a retirement fund.

It's only Spider-Man resistant because it's Spider-Man swinging down and knocking against it. If he's got room to brace himself, then you're in real trouble.

Hero-proof glass doesn't mean anything unless it's reinforced with the frame. Otherwise that super strong pane of glass is just gonna come out of that frame as one nice big expensive piece.

There's a great bit in the first season of Daredevil where the bad guys (property developers!) learn that there is a new hero in town, and one of them goes,"That's great, he'll wreck up the city fighting crime and we'll make bank putting it back together!"

For context, that's from The Slavers, an arc about Punisher dismantling an eastern European sex slave ring. That lady is the one in charge of of the girls they kidnap.

Specifically, she’s the one who tells the dudes they should rape all the women nonstop until they’re compliant. Not going to get into the “which violence is worse” argument, but she is an unrepentantly evil woman.

Yeah, sure, I’m sure she is. The thing is, she doesn’t exist, Ennis wrote her. And the sex ring, and the programmatic rape, and the big quippy comeuppance that they’re used to justify. She “has it coming” because Ennis wrote her to. It’s a circle of self-justifying torture wank. The desert of torture, the rape, all of it exists because it’s what he wants to depict.

Coolguye posted:so i've seen this page once or twice now and i'm curious what MJ screwed up here, can someone provide context At the time Peter was part of the Avengers but of course Peter has a secret identity so nobody knows. MJ got spotted in Avengers Tower with Tony Stark and tabloids reported it as her having an affair with him. Wolverine was trying to rile Peter up so Peter would blow off steam on Wolverine because he knew he could take it.

I mean, I don't really see what you are saying here. A writer wrote a thing because he wanted to write it? If what you're trying to say is that it's tasteless or you don't like the Punisher as a whole on principle, I can understand where you're coming from. But "The fictional character only did a bad thing because she's a fictional character" is a weird way to put that. The whole thing of The Punisher is that he punishes people, who are written to have done things "worth" punishing.

Also part of that story is The Punisher admitting that he's broken, hosed up psychopath and what he does doesn't really help.
