The Question IRL posted:

Also shouldn't Spider-man's web shooters not work underwater? If so that's a neat idea.

I loved that Annual. The Sinister Six make Spidey take them on in six Lion's Den matches. And he wins.

how does ock not just sink with those ridiculous metal arms attached to him

the big difference between the flash and spider-man is that you don't know who any of flash's villains are unless you read the flash

spider-gwen and normal gwen are different characters, one doesn't preclude the other

renew your vows obviously refers to when peter and gwen were married in secret wars

it's easy and lets them bring back characters they killed off for free

Aug 26, 2010



yes, so they can have whatever writer that wants to get to play with gwen and peter's relationship do that without ever having to change the status quo for longer than the clone story lasts

y'know of all the characters it must suck to be in the spider-man universe, it must suck to be gwen stacy the most

speaking of the film, I saw the trailer recently and it looks good. hosed up of peter to steal ganke from miles tho

Manatee Cannon
Aug 26, 2010



he stays dead, peter becomes scarlet spider and moves to texas (or wherever it was that kaine was living) when his business collapses. miles is tragically killed in an accident and ganke becomes the new spider-man

professional rapper ganke west

but no apparently it's this http://brianmichaelbendis.tumblr.com/post/49966956563/how-do-you-pronounce-ganke

can't wait for my ganke to evolve into primape

the miles/ganke dynamic is good and it'll probably still be good in the movie, even if it's peter parker and ned leeds instead

this movie kinda feels like it was supposed to be about miles until someone decided it should be about peter at the last second to me, but I like both of them so whatever. having it be about miles and then making peter a teacher at the school could have given them both spider-men at once tho, which would have been cool. maybe they just made it peter so they could bring him in for his cameo in captain america 3?

both spider-men have a secret identity but both of them also have people that know who they are

he can keep it a secret from everyone but his friend ned 'ganke' leeds. I don't see why this is a problem

they should have made it literally miles but named peter 'parker' morales

are people losing their minds over mj in the movie or are they cool with it

still amazing that they casted emma stone for the female lead in a spider-man movie, then had it be gwen stacey lol

it was like the perfect mj casting

and yea they chose the redhead for the blonde and the blonde for the redhead. it's just funny to me, idk

no I mean like specifically her villains; I know her thing is clowning on people like thanos. I wanna know about the ones that started as squirrel girl villains, like osborn or doc ock did for spider-man

I think part of the problem with miles in the ultimate universe was that after the peter stuff was over, bendis was rushing to get the deal with his dad and girlfriend in before the secret wars event. then civil war (which bendis wrote too, didn't he? so that's doubly his fault) seriously derailed the book at the same time as bendis recapped the dad stuff when it was incredibly unnecessary. events really hurt miles' story a lot and he's only just recently had the chance to recover

... of course, now we're trapped in a lame spider-gwen crossover while the dad storyline spins its wheels and there's still the problem of the venom blast being a poorly defined win button. plus a lot of the ultimate cast is either gone or taking a backseat to his new friends (why even have bombshell there if she's not allowed to do anything)

Since SW Bendis really does seem to have lost the direction with Miles. I feel like there's a better writer out there who could bring him into his own again but I have no idea who that could be.

the dad stuff was the direction things were already heading before secret wars; it just got rushed out the gate there because the universe was ending. everything after peter inexplicably came back, then instantly left felt rushed to me

rip miles' hydra brainwashed girlfriend. always felt kinda bad for her

renew your vows is good

the main spidey books are in a bad place tho

bombshell's been around in that book for ages. they just haven't done anything with her beyond a couple minor cameos

Manatee Cannon
Aug 26, 2010



you could but it's kinda bad

the first issue of spectacular is pretty underwhelming as well, at least to me. I agree with imp that renew your vows is the best spidey thing currently going. you could just ignore all that and cherry pick stuff tho. I'd suggest looking into spider-man and the x-men

Manatee Cannon
Aug 26, 2010



that's a good point, ultimate spider-man's pretty good and would be a lot more familiar to anyone that's watched the movies than asm is

you'd also have an actual beginning and ending for peter parker's story
