Can someone give me a quick rundown of everything that's happened in Amazing Spider-Man from about the point where Superior Spider-Man ended? That's roughly where I stopped reading. Might come back now that Slott is finally gone.

Spider-Man became super rich like a cheaper version of tony stark. Then he worked for shield. Then idk, he fought the green goblin again, but for corporate ownership?

Speaking of Hickman how was the finale to SHIELD?

it looked and sounded and felt amazing. some of the visuals and speeches were the best comics i've ever read in my life.

BUT! it's not really a finale at all, it barely feels like we reached a third of the way into the complete story. As a supposed ending, that's extremely painful. (maybe leonardo da vinci will show up in iron man again? :shrug:)

Agreed - though it does have a sort of sweet origin from an old movie where a pair of teens set up a double murder of a bullying football star and his friend. They pose the bodies in a way that they think will get a rise out of people because they assume the town is homophobic, but at the funeral the football star's dad tearfully declares "I love my dead gay son!"

(at least i'm assuming that was the origin..)

I don't want to make too big of a thing out of it, but I'm still pretty involved with fandom, and I do enjoy reading fluffy fanfics or looking at cute fanart on my phone while I fall asleep. I really can't say that the self deprecation and applying it to others is really a thing anymore. What I am noticing more often than not is discouraging that kind of "Haha, cringe" mindset in favor of encouraging everyone, particularly kids, to just enjoy writing and drawing no matter how "bad" it may be to other people. Outside of people that do shameless smut, it really feels like making fun of OCs and the like has really fallen out of favor among fandom types, which I guess you touch upon a little. I have written fanfics in the past, and the only reason I don't still is mainly because I don't have the time for it anymore/ I have also commissioned fanart of characters and ships I really like, and the general attitude has felt like it's entirely based around making each other feel good, and not like what somebody writes or draws is going to be posted on some internet forum for nerds to laugh at like they're any better.

This is kind of the heart of these 5000 word post arguments, there’s a key sticking point. There’s “OC’s” and there’s “original character do not steal” and everyone is talking past each other without realizing they’re using the word differently.







Edit: I guess the spider-gwen name would never be a good name for a pro hero, but why is she ghost spider now?

Marvel always pushes titles at the same time as movies, but I’ve never seen them successfully match settings. I think Black Panther had amnesia in space when his movie came out. The new Spider-Verse comic is specifically for the movie fans, and even that features completely new worlds like the punk universe and black and white manga universe.
