Waiting all these strips for Spider-Man to stand up is like waiting episode after episode for Goku to arrive except as soon as he does you know he's just going to Kamehameha himself in the face and it'll be up to Bulma to save the day.

Namor: "Yes, me and your grandmother were what you would call "gently caress buddies" and in buddies who hosed.

Anyways, my tongue, teased her nipples as she moaned in pleasure my lips journey continued down her midriff towards her-"

If this was Spider-Man in a boxing match he'd still be trying to get up after the bell rung, after everyone had left the building, after the Gardens setup for the next Rangers game and trapped him under centre ice.

So I ended up not checking this thread in like a month and last I left off Spider-Man was trying and failing to fight Namor.

Checking the last post it seems like...they're still doing it but now Spider-Man is paralyzed?

Did I miss anything major, or is this par for the course for Newspaper Spider-Man?

Namor won, then left, then returned to fight Spidey again. In the meantime there was a bit with a sick child at the hospital, and the military barging in to capture him, and Spidey thwarting them by grabbing the child and tossing him out the window into the sea.

This is a weird arc because Namor's totally in the right. If a sovereign nation is being used as a garbage dump to the point where its people are being poisoned by undersea trash fumes, it has the right to defend itself with military force. And like, that war would be pretty one-sided because Atlantis has superior technology and appears incredibly difficult to directly attack, so just rolling up troops on the shores of countries who break your ocean pollution edict would probably solve the problem pretty quickly.

Well Namor could've joined the UN decades ago, he waited until the problem necessitated a military response to even announce himself. Do people in this world even know Atlantis exists? He's equally to blame for trying zero alternatives to "Stop all things immediately or I will kill everyone".

Plus he wants to bomb civilians, which is kind of a dick move of a war crime.

That would require him to put actual effort into things that aren't trying to shag Sue Richards. You ask too much of him.

I mean, Atlantis fought for the Allies in WWII. Namor successfully petitioned to make Atlantis a member of the United Nations. Atlantis has invaded New York before...actually, this very NSM plot is basically the plot of Fantastic Four Annual #1, except the Fantastic Four are more competent. (They go on a cruise....Namor captures the ship, kidnaps Sue and sends the rest of them back to New York with the announcement that he's going to declare war on the surface world, Atlantis invades New York, and then Sue is about to die, and Namor surrenders to get help for her because he can't bear to let her die).

This arc sorta pisses me off because of the fact it's depicting stopping the CONSTANT POLLUTION OF OUR WATERS as the "villain's" goal and it's obvious nothing will change at the end. Nothing. THIS sorta poo poo is why people say superheroes are fascists. Also, spidey just laying on the ground is the most hilarious loving thing ever.

All that's true in the 616 comics, but this is newspaper Spider-man, where Ronan the Accuser's first appearance on earth was in 2016. This is clearly Namor's first move and he was obviously not a member of the UN when he burst in on them to yell.

Well, we know he had an affair with Betty Dean back then. So, he wasn't unknown to at least one surface-worlder.
