I Wonder if they are ever going to bring up the fact they fixed Spider girls life after the first one destroyed it. That’s literally the only spider verse thing I care about

CharlestheHammer posted:Wait I hadn’t heard this Peter MJ stuff. Seems kind of weird he killed off MC2 Peter in Spider-Verse (and got super defensive about it online) if he was such a huge fan of that idea. The fact he had his own 'Peter & MJ get married & have a daughter' miniseries coming down the pipe had absolutely nothing to do with it, I'm sure.

tbh i don't think spider-verse is something really built for an annual event like marvel seems to think it is, and i only read last year's because vulpes was writing it. let slott poo poo out whatever, as long as he doesn't do something really stupid like kill Gwen, Cindy or Annie May who cares

So probably a followup series for the following year. Although honestly given Slott's infamous delays it'd make more sense to also delay the comic a year.

The last event was called loving Spidergeddon and they literally killed only two characters, UK and Noir. And Spidey Noir was brought back to life in his own universe a few months later.

I mean it is called end of spider verse so they could pull an end of Ultimate universe thing and kill everything except a few pet characters that are ported to the 616.

While we're in Dan Slott chat, has anyone else seen the preview for next week's issue of FF? Really petty-seeming Squirrel Girl slam out of nowhere in there, which is doubly weird since it's Slott.

okay so like that bit in gwenpool where the entire joke of the two-parter with deadpool is that gwen actually doesn't like deadpool that much means that chris hastings also dislikes deadpool because why would a comic writer ever give a character a personality trait or opinion that they do not also share

At the very least you have to admit it was better than whatever the gently caress JJ Abrams and son did with "married Spidey with kid" I mean, I'll grant you Slott's RYV was better than the Abrams' take (and didn't pretend to be in-continuity), like most of his ideas re: Spider-Man, most of the actually good bits were done by other people (namely Conway & Houser in the ongoing). I mean, it honestly felt like aside from the Spider-Family existing that nothing from the miniseries carried over. I mean, anyone remember the Regent in anything? He was referred to in backstory stuff as why MJ had powers, but that was it in the ongoing. You'd think 8 years of that guy running the world and imprisoning/killing all the superheroes would have been mentioned more, but it never came up!

Imo, you can write off any disconnect between the two as a result of the mini being a Secret Wars tie-in and the ongoing being not that.

It probably never came up because Regent contained the one big plot hole from the comic's jump from being a Secret Wars tie-in to its own universe. In the tie-in, Regent was amassing powers in an attempt to take on Doom and become God. But in the ongoing, RYV isn't on Battleworld and Doom was never God. So not mentioning him that much is probably a workaround to keep nerds from dwelling on the contradiction too much. e: also because Regent's supposed to have killed a lot of heroes in the process of stealing powers and Peter's identity is outed at the end of the mini and the ongoing basically revives everyone and puts Peter's secret back in a few other small sorta-retcons that Conway hopes no one notices (because for the most part they don't matter) TwoPair fucked around with this message at 22:43 on May 14, 2022 |

god, I know that Slott's been talking about 'the reckoning war' for like fifteen years but I really wasn't prepared to open up that preview and see Gauntlet and Southpaw and Grasshopper in a book that isn't, like, The Initiative. 'the tactigon' is a phrase my eyes have not taken in since the Bush administration.

Yeah that does smack of pettiness. Actually to go a little further, anytime I see characters I associate with funny, lighthearted runs in a thoroughly mid so-serious story, particularly as victims or stooges, it instantly repels me from like, not just the comic, but *comics.* I'm sure it happens in movies and stuff too, but I'm struggling to think of any examples right now.
