Wow... just read the latest ASM. I hadn't kept with the last two pages of posts 'cause I wouldn't want to be spoiled, so I understand I'm not saying anything new now after catching up, but I still need to say it. I wasn't entirely enjoying Zeb Wells run up to this point -- felt kind of mediocre -- but a new status quo for MJ, Spidey, and even having Ms Marvel on the cast were all interesting ideas, so I kept giving it a chance and wanting to see where it would go. And okay, turns out the mystery of how that new status quo came to be ended up not being that well handled, but maybe the story was still going somewhere good? Nope! Not all! #26 is a disgraceful, lovely attempt at making emotional scenes that just made me felt completely cold and going "whyyy". This single issue was so dreadful, so awfully written and badly planned that the whole exercise to get here, an entire run of 26 issues may as well have been completely obliterated because none of it mattered. And I'm memory holing this whole venture for myself and likely never touching anything written by Zeb Wells ever again, which a year ago, still remembering rather fondly that Hellions run of his was not something I've ever expected to feel. Good loving lord. How could an experienced writer think handling the kids that way or pulling a cheap death was good storytelling? How would an experienced editor look at this garbage and go "yes, yes, this is exactly what makes a good story and a great cap to 26 issues of build-up, plus we didn't know what to do with that beloved character anyway!"

Air Skwirl posted:I could see her dating Ned at the start of Spider-Man 4, since it's clear at the end of 3 that she's still friends with him, and because of how the movies are written she's not really shown to have friends that aren't Peter Parker and Ned. For what it's worth, the actor who plays Ned is VERY into the idea of him becoming Hobgoblin at some point.

Gonna be real dumb if they make him Hobgoblin just because his name is Ned Leeds, which in turn was a dumb name to give that character in the first place.

I know this is just a fun variant, not anything with story implications, and it does look cool, but how the gently caress would Moon Knight have an invite to the Hellfire Gala? Maybe he's pen pals with David Haller? https://twitter.com/DenOfCrows/status/1663510604252950528?s=20

Maybe he's pen pals with David Haller? The other Marvel heroes have been getting invites since the first Krakoa Hellfire Gala, though it wasn't until the second that they realized they needed to step up their fashion game. My guess is he's either Tigra's plus one or Clea pulls some strings for him. Though I could also see him just showing up and Emma deciding it'd be more of a headache than it's worth to kick him out. Now, my question is how the Hell did Eddie Brock's kid, who's currently Venom and actively on the lamb, get in. glitchwraith fucked around with this message at 16:38 on Jun 2, 2023 |

If Dylan, Eddie's son, did get in, it's probably because of his dad being a timeline singularity symbiote king/god, he can be considered a prince/demigod. ...man, symbiote stuff is kinda dumb nowadays...

Kinda curious as to why MJ would get an invite. Like purely in official terms, isn't she just a regular joe and totally nothing to do with Spider-Man, uh-uh, no sir, or the superhero community in general as far as anyone knows? And it's not like she's an A-lister celeb or anything.

Also I think she and Emma just know each other?

It would be cool if marvel made MJ an A list character and stand on her own outside of Spider-man. In universe even if she’s a B movie actress - A list model it’d be fun. Showing up to hero events, having a circle, etc. You know, instead of making GBS threads on her.

https://twitter.com/DiscussingFilm/status/1664661555126861832 JMS going to be taking over Cap. Current run has been great, and the ongoing Cold War thing has been pretty solid but kinda excited to see what JMS does with the title.

I was just flipping through some of his Moon Knight, Iron Fist, and Thor from the aughts. I just hope its that JMS and not Superman taking a walk. His Thor was especially great even if he had to put every toy back into their boxes once he was done.

This got me thinking with the previous talk about bad Spider-man comics, but the whole alien warrior stuff began with Bendis' GotG, right? and then someone else pushed it further into demigods and poo poo involving Thor and kept escalating the symbiote? Meanwhile Agent Venom was a Slott idea, right? or it at least started while he was on Spider-man. For all the poo poo we give Slott's run, at least the stuff he comes up with is stuff that made sense to add to Spider-man's lore; Agent Venom showed up in a few cartoons, even if it was merely him pitching and not really related with the finalized product he still came up with Spider-Gwen. Spider-Verse as bad as the event itself was, and all those follow ups, is still the story that got adapted into the movie that changed the whole western animated movie medium for the better. Spider Island, Ends of the Earth, and Superior have also been adapted loosely in cartoons. Spider-Island was what lead directly into BSS' favorite Scarlet Spider run. Just all those things that do get added to Spidey's pile of stuff to adapt into other mediums. Meanwhile, there's so much stuff everyone will gladly ignore because it's not even fun to think how to do better. MorningMoon fucked around with this message at 20:21 on Jun 2, 2023 |

I mean I think it would be a mistake but they seem really dug in on this eternally loser Parker who always fails even though I think the fanbase is getting sick of it. Which is funny because at this point who of Peters supporting cast is even left? MJ, Norman?????, Black Cat sometimes

The right move is loving there on the shelf, it’s been there for decades, they did it during the Clone Saga. Peter grows up, becomes a married man with a kid and a steady job and somebody else becomes the main Spider-Man with the Parker Luck. Let him keep his powers and do some superheroing, Peter B Parker proved people love that, and Ultimate Spider-Man proved people are more than willing to follow multiple Spider-Men. It’s an incredibly low risk editorial move.

I mean they already have that more or less with Miles. It’s just right now Miles and Peter kind of do the same thing (vaguely) which is awkward considering Peter is like over a decade older
