I like that the art in no way offers any kind of visual indication of Spidey being electrocuted, more that he hurt his hand punching metal, but Stan Lee's Ghost's Ghostwriter was determined it was electrocution goddammit! :colbert:

That requires him to *remember* that that's his go-to move. That's putting a lot of pressure on poor Peter.

Given Spidey's initial reaction to the "electricity" was present ONLY in the text, I can only sadly assume that the colorist wars have extended even further into the writer and the artist(s) now being at war with each other too :smith:

I mean...if one of the neighbors saw Spider-Man entering/exiting your apartment window you'd have to start looking for a new secret identity, but that doesn't stop him from doing that all the time.

MonsterEnvy posted:

So here's what I think, and I realize I am putting way, way more thought into it than the actual writer. Because the real reason Charles did that is "To make the reader suspect Ryland's brother."

By claiming Spidey should suspect Ryland's brother, he hoped Spidey would tail the brother, which would leave him free to blow up another store. If Spidey was with the brother and got news of the store exploding, he would go "Wow I guess it really was Ryland himself after all," because he'd have no reason to suspect the chauffeur.

Of course the chauffeur didn't know Spidey's wife was working at the store, which made him want to stay at the store, rather than follow Ryland's brother around (mostly anyway Spidey did give chase after he saw them through the window, but he was only at the window because he was keeping watch on MJ). When the chauffeur saw Spidey around after Ryland was...injured? Knocked out? I don't remember. Anyway, he then pretended he was taking Ryland away from the store to the hospital or whatever. And since Ryland's brother wasn't around, this too would fit the chauffeur's plan though in a different way. "I saw him take Ryland away, so Ryland's brother must be the Demolisher."

So yeah it almost sort of makes sense, but again, the writers were definitely not thinking beyond "trick the reader."

Charles was the one seemingly injured. Ryland drove off with him, then the second MJ went in the store he was there to grab her.

Well I imagine the reason he had not given him the check yet was because he was having financial problems from his stores being burned down.
