The second dumbest thing about that storyline was that NSM seriously thought it would work.

The dumbest thing about it by far was that it actually did.

Much like Squirrel Girl has the unwritten secondary power of being undefeatable, NSM has the additional power of being so dumb, other people start following his "logic" unquestioningly.

Didn't I kill him with a HELICOPTER?
I was not ready for "also it doesn't Really work, just turns him off and on again a bunch, which gives him a heart attack. The end." :stare:

I can't even try to get mad at how dumb the cops are. I can't internalize them being that stupid. They clearly heard everything, understand the whole situation, heard MJ call out Peter's name, and simply decided it's easier to let a homeless man die than deal with anything.

Possibly the most accurate portrayal of NYC police in media.

Spider-Man, your cover story is "I broke into the building and rescued Parker."

That's what Kingpin and his goons believe. The police at least saw you carry someone. What do you lose by telling Carole "I rescued him and got him somewhere safe."

Perhaps it's an issue that your street clothes are full of webs and probably will be for another half hour or more, so you can't show up immediately?

MJ has an attention span as short as Peter's. Wagner told you how he became a werewolf!


Well okay, I guess only we the audience saw the flashback, but still. It doesn't take a brain genius to realize him saying "I found out they were real when I went to Romania, and now I become a werewolf" means "I was attacked by a werewolf."

Then again, this is the NSM universe, I suppose it does take a brain genius.

Peter, MJ, that man died!

He contracted a horrible curse, desperately tried to stop himself, and then Spider-Man killed him doing some dumbass bullshit involving a planetarium.

I'm not asking you to pay for the funeral or track down his next of kin or whatever, but the least you can do is not drool over the new TV you're going to get after you sell the photo of his cursed, twisted form.

This storyline really is utterly spectacular.

  • Spider-Man's initial plan was to hope to cage the werewolf in the zoo, hoping the bars would be strong enough to contain it.... the first appearance of the werewolf was it literally ripping open the bars at a zoo to hug a bear.
  • He came up with this plan because the werewolf was too strong and tore apart his webs.
  • His next plan was to find the werewolf and tie it up with his webs that it was strong enough to tear apart.
  • He forgot to bring his webs for this plan.
  • MJ realized he forgot his webs so brought them to the park for him.... she lost his webs on the way.
  • The old man tells MJ how he became a werewolf, MJ doesn't bother to actually listen.
  • Spider-Man has a new plan, one so spectacularly stupid only a man with the disproportionate brain the size of a spider could come up with it.
  • The plan worked!?!?!
  • Spider-Man doesn't bother to tell the cops the werewolf and the dead old man were the same person and just fucks off and goes home. As far as the cops know, there is still a werewolf out there, and Spidey killed an old naked man.
  • Spidey plans to profit from accidental photos he took of the werewolf which was actually a desperate old man whose anguished life was nothing but a misery.
  • Whoops, turns out it was a Magical Realism Camera and only took photos of a nude old man instead!
  • The end, no moral!

Uncle Ben: Still Dead.
"You see, sometimes Spider-Man doesn't want to follow supervillains all over New York, so some of his spider-tracers are set up to lead his enemies to him."

"Wouldn't that mean they show up at inconvenient times, and figure out his secret identity?"

"It might, but almost all of his enemies are as lazy as he is."

in theory spider tracers are supposed to be devices that he can detect with his spider sense. but well, this is nsm. a gadget whose sole purpose is to ensure his wife can come pick him up when he gets lost is more useful.

Meanwhile the police continue to pour hundreds of thousands of dollars into increased patrols, crackdowns on civil liberties*, massive overtime bills etc continuing the search for the werewolf they have no reason to think isn't still out there.

* They'd actually do this one on their base salary.
