Well she's going to end up being evil that's just a given, she a non-traditionally attractive female in comic books. She'll find out it was Ock in Peter's body and want him back then we'll pick up on the Stunner appearance earlier to reveal the new Doc Ock loving villain Duo Stunner and a Half!

Yes if there was anything to take away from the constant Slott bashing it was that people just wanted Peter back.

Waterhaul posted:Well I'm glad it only took to page two for us to establish who hates Slott and the book and has no intention of reading any more! Yes people who want to know what's going on with spider-man and not monetarily reward Marvel for keeping Slott on read the Spider-Man thread. Mostly in hopes of hearing that Slott was overcome by the need to only write independent original characters for Image or got his time consuming dream job of writing Dr Who or is abandoning comics to pursue his dream of professional line dancing. Or maybe I just want to hear how he'll scramble to stay on his unsinkable boat again when marvel goes for another shake up "Spider-man is taken over by uh, um... the Hypno Hustler, that means I get to stay on because I'm not really writing Spider-man anymore!"

Most of the time it's just a mask, every once and a while somebody decides to portray him as so crazy/dedicated that he mutilated his face for the sake of being able to use more realistic masks when impersonating people.

Look Peter has had a lot of concussions okay? The guy is lucky if he can keep his days of the week and colors straight. I mean remember when he thought he was Doc Ock for a bit?

CharlestheHammer posted:This wasn't really about making him more relatable. Yeah the whole "relatable to a younger audience" is hogwash they know spider-man being married isn't what keeps kids out of the comics, the lack of digital distribution is, but they can't do a big push without risking comic shops disappearing all together. Which they care about, for some reason.

Really it should be standard procedure that if somebody gets all "No you can't read my mind to confirm who I am!" Thor should tackle them screaming "HAVE AT THE SKRULL!" but it's one of those things they have to sacrifice to tell totally not boring or contrived identity switches.

It's more that everyone else who used Spock for half a page used the premise better then Slott did in his entire run. So many writers did so much better with the idea with so much less time that Slott wasting it for just a blah run is really disheartening.

That spider armor showed up in regular continuity as well, it was made out of hardened webbing derivative a worn for a single issue then Peter purposefully broke it by flexing (yes flexing) and revealed he was wearing a regular suit beneath it. That's "Here's you loving toy tie in you dicks!" in writer speak.

OldTennisCourt posted:Look, it was just unnecessary and loving dumb. It's literally the exact same as that awful Wendy and Marvin garbage. It's Slott using lighthearted characters deaths to go "OH WOW, THIS GUY SUUUUUUUUUUUURE IS EVIL, WOWZERS GUYS, DON'T YA JUST HATE HIM NOW?" which is how a hack writes villains. The little burn was also an obvious jab too. It's a lovely scene that did nothing but piss people off because it was a ham handed way to get people angry. That's down right insulting. Hack writers wouldn't even pull that, this is angry 14 year old fan-fiction level where Micky and Minnie mouse get offed while pluto looks on and cries.

Waterhaul posted:(which as Spider-Verse continues on I'm sure people here will prove him right) This thread gets like six posts a week when you aren't rushing in to defend Slott's honor so it's probably not the best place to predict an "I told you so" surge in numbers.

As much as I'd find it delicious if Slott managed to sink the unsinkable ship he so desperately clung to during a line wide shake up, yeah those numbers are just evening out after a big collector boom.

Die Laughing posted:Did you at least read the Edge of Spiderverse one shots? They were fun stuff, and each stand on their own until the last couple pages of each issue. I didn't, them being good will just makes it worse when Slott comes in and pisses on them to get the nerd rage flowing. This thread is the sum of my Spider-Man exposure, it'll stay that way until Slott is gone.

TLG James posted:Arana didn't. Though I fail to see how she'll help in the least in this situation. Unless you're just talking about other dimensions spider people. Miguel has no mystical anything to him aside from Thor's hammer and there was no spider directly involved in his origin, might be why Morlun hesitated in 2099.

Like most of Slott's ideas Silk will probably be fantastic under somebody else. Dude would make a brilliant editor and it's a shame he's hung up on being a mediocre writer for some "wrote Spider-man the longest" No Prize.

It's what should happen considering Morlun's original defeat is through the science of shooting radioactive waste into yourself to counter his mumbo-jumbo. Giant robot is the next tier of science.

Hickman has killed a vast majority of worlds off panel because he realizes that it gets less and less effective every time you kill on panel. Nobody is angry over the spider deaths they are just bored by them an angry they can't get invested. Plus discount hammer horror vampires will never sell as multiversal threats which is why Slott is having to try so hard. SirDan3k fucked around with this message at 03:36 on Jan 9, 2015 |

I'm going to say he does and that's why he pointed out that she is significantly more popular now then she was then, which increases the chances of them bringing her alternate version into the new pizza metaphor that is the future marvel universe.
