also it kinda fucks me up seeing the apartment relatively consistent all the way back then, that's the couch they watch tv on



Who amongst us hasn't prevented friends or family from having sex so we could tell them about wrestling?

:lol: the only reason it's a story is because a dude got shot and killed, Robbie's "instinct" was going to get him a story of,"Wrestler beats up another wrestler in a cheap Spider-Man costume in 5 minutes" and Jonah was right to laugh at the idea of his Editor-in-Chief being a complete mark who thinks wrestling is real.

The most bizarre thing about this story is that it's been treated from the start all the way through like wrestling is real but then they had Robbie throw in that "this isn't scripted! :aaa:" line right towards the end which indicates.... they do know it's fake?

Anyway, forget all that bullshit, the world wants to know if Boris is going to be okay!

Yeah, like, usually Peter is the dumbest person in an arc, sometimes it's the villain either at the last minute or during most of the arc. Robbie feels dumber than Peter or Strang here because he has an intuition that there's a story with Kid Spider-man and then Destructo, and he's right! That's loving Spider-man pretending to be a pro wrestler and a goddamned super zombie. There's a story to chase there, but Robbie does 0 journalism; he doesn't try to find out who Kid Spider-man is, and sure, maybe we could honor the tradition of masked wrestlers and have Hardwood not reveal that at all, but then there's Destructo right there that Robbie could try to figure out. Destructo has no mask so if Hardwood doesn't want to give out any names then Robbie could still try and find out who that guy is with a picture, he's an editor in chief at the fictional biggest newspaper in new york!

So Robbie keeps asking questions like "why?" kid spidey does what he does, which is money, that's the one answer that is both true and uninteresting. He doesn't ask who, he just takes the what at complete face value and goes to the venue every week without asking anyone anything. Like J-ru is saying, the only story is that a performer got shot by a gun-ho security guard. They don't even tell us if Robbie found out about the whole zombie thing and Dillon. Boris was on the news with 50/50 chance of loving dying and Robbie didn't find that at all worth digging into? oh shoot that reminds me it's past midnight

MJ, he hasn't fought The Lizard in at least a decade, that was a flashback, and Mysterio was just some dude with a helmet that controlled all reality. Looking at his "recent" fights, I think the better solution is for Peter to gently caress off home and give Voltan his powers back.

I'm probably merging arcs in my mind, but didn't she leave Hollywood because the director was a sex pest, and although Peter showed up to get angry she'd (unknown to him) already left by then

No, that was this one. Newspaper Spider-Man is a pioneer of anti-continuity. The only canon is what the writer happens to remember that day.

Straight up thought that was the telekinetic jerk and MJ had called Peter to come to the apartment because she wanted to get rid of the telekinetic jerk. Nope, turns out Peter was the jerk!
