Stretching the definition of manchild a bit here. Though the early 2000's are basically still the reboot era so I don't know why they should be stated as two different times.

Yeah I don't know what definition of manchild yall are using. I mean I guess it has become kind of a nebulous term and all so I shouldn't be surprised.

I am not sure a character (if you want to call her that I guess) that appeared in two movies is the most popular iteration of the character. Or that many people cared all that much that she died. Edit: I mean maybe by default? Because she isn't a well known character (outside comic circles) and I don't think that has changed.

Die Laughing posted:Been reading Spider-Man comics on and off since I was seven, and going on thirty this year, I hope Peter always stays young. Marrying him off, giving him kids and a stable job, is just too far away from what made Spider-Man such a hugely popular character. We want to see the characters we love grow and change the way our lives do, but Spidey should be preserved for future generations. Spiderman hasn't been young since like the 60's to about the late 70's. So he hasn't been young in over 40 years. So I don't think that is what made him popular, all things considered. Edit: Also he really didn't read that young in the 60/70's either, but that is more because of how they wrote him then age. CharlestheHammer fucked around with this message at 18:07 on Jan 25, 2015 |

Eh I feel like core of the character isn't really at thing. At least that specific. The core to me seems to be the responsibility poo poo, and the soap opera poo poo. Trying to narrow it down any farther seems pointless or just flat out impossible. Like I like USM, but nothing about it seems spidermanish to me, it is just a teen soap opera poo poo. Spiderman may have also gone through that (I don't really think he did but for argument sake we will) but nothing about that has retained a spiderman specific identity.

Yvonmukluk posted:They threw out the 'supermodel' part of things back with Johnathan Caesar in the 80s. The literally only bought it back so they could then complain about how unrealistic it was for Peter to be married to a supermodel. Why do people keep parroting this nonsense? I do love the idea of realism (or relateablility) was a problem for a character who just literally had his mind swapped with a villain. Who is now also fighting inter dimensional Vampires.

Hickman is a plotter, and it is hard as poo poo to give a gently caress about his characters. So Spiderman probably isn't something he could do.

Man I really hate the whole indirect killing doesn't count thing. It is so lame and misses the point. Like when Captain America says "I don't torture people, but she does!" like no dude, if you allow it to happen, you are still doing it. Also I think this poo poo is coming back during Secret Wars, so it isn't over, but Peter and Co don't know that.

Gaz-L posted:Well, the point of that in the movie was that he wouldn't buy that Cap would let him die, but Tasha might. The plan was always for Falcon to catch him and bring him back up in the classic Batman 'scare the confession out' tactic. Well I got that scene mixed up with the comic book one that swaps Natasha out for Moon knight.

No one knows what fridging means. Its not a term that is used in comic books, its only really used outside. It would make no sense considering its based on a DC story.

Is there even such a thing as a casual comic book fan? I would assume that term doesn't really apply to any niche market.

I think he meant by have Slott write it. That counts as teasing IMO. Also we do know that certain Battleworlds poo poo is gonna stick, we just don't know which yet. The only confirmed is the UU.

Lurdiak posted:Yeah, that's by far the funniest part of all this. Bringing Harry back was like their power goal next to ending the marriage and letting Peter be a swinging bachelor again. Harry just kind of floundered around not doing anything and making Pete look like a manchild by having 2 kids and an ex-wife while Pete has yet to settle down, then he vanished. As for Pete's new love interests... what a memorable bunch of characters that was! Yeah it is really a bad idea to highlight how a character whose big draw is his personal life, is really stagnant and boring. Which makes the Spider verse poo poo make sense, though you can only keep that going for so long. Die Laughing posted:Norah Winters was great. Really if you are gonna have multiple writers these things are bound to happen. Unless you plan it out beforehand, which BND doesn't really seem to have been.

To be even more fair, I am basing this off comic book resources, which tends to trend a bit sycophantic. Especially when something is ongoing. But I only read it when Dan's run started, so I don't know if that is common or what.

Die Laughing posted:A dull Spider-Man cover would be him fighting the Green Goblin or Doctor Octopus with the New York skyline in the background. Neon Spider-Man in Japan with a new Spidermobile, and Peter Parker in a white suit pressing a button on his watch is the opposite of dull. It lights your brain up with a dozen questions, and the only way to answer them is to read the book. The book probably won't be very good, but that's a good hook for a title that could easily just coast on the same old stories. I got halfway through your post before my eyes glazed over from boredom.
