@newmedicine7 I think it's natural to want to read ongoings simply because they're what's newest and where most discussion happens. There's also people who hate books yet read every new issue but that's just the internet for you

[ItsGlassPlus1 @ItsGlassPlus1]

@DizzRos92 I think these ideas would land better if it played up the fact that this kind of thinking is cowardly, or it made Peter much more paranoid about being unmasked in general

[ItsGlassPlus1 @ItsGlassPlus1]

@DizzRos92 It's a somewhat a silly point since Peter also does that when he goes missing or gives May some awful excuse, but it's a well worn trope that comes with secret identity stories

@NirvanaM1nd BND is pretty directly continuing from NWH, but it's fair to say they used the opportunity the plot gave them to realign the character closer to the essence of 616

[ItsGlassPlus1 @ItsGlassPlus1]

@NirvanaM1nd A soft reboot usually connotates a story that exists in the continuity of what came before but distances themselves from it to tell a new story OR retreads the original. 007 films were like this pre-Craig, Jurassic World is the latter. BND doesn't really seem to fit either

[ItsGlassPlus1 @ItsGlassPlus1]

@JB_III I'd still expect that to ultimately be the case. The Marcus To variant for 1000 shows May and an unmasked Peter

@Datleyfrenzyl I'm not actually sure when this is supposed to take place. The caption says some time ago but as I recall he's never had the symbiote at the same time he's been with MJ

[ItsGlassPlus1 @ItsGlassPlus1]

@theamazinganth @N3OCK1 @DradXV By his right foot, between rhino and symbie

[ItsGlassPlus1 @ItsGlassPlus1]

@omnicollector I go back and forth on this. I'd love more human stories in Spider-Man but I fear making a secondary book for it just pigeonholes ASM as the action book. I also don't like the inevitable cross book stories

[ItsGlassPlus1 @ItsGlassPlus1]

In comics it's accepted that the stories of it's biggest characters will not end and so I'd be prudent to keep villains around so that can be reused in the future. Movies by contrast do end, and the definitive way to end a story with a villain is for them to die

[Matt ⚡️ @CinemaSupreme]

Why did Raimi kill off every major Spider-Man villain 😭😭

[ItsGlassPlus1 @ItsGlassPlus1]

@thefatspaceman Covers are a great little medium within a medium unique to comics so I find these homages to them to be valid enough, even if at the end of the day they're just references

[ItsGlassPlus1 @ItsGlassPlus1]

@thefatspaceman The references are just key jangling but it seems unfair to criticize the choice of covers over panels. Covers are almost always more recognizable than panels, and it's not like the story content in the issues referenced are especially relevant because the movies aren't adaptions

[Grayson @MinuteNerdNews]

The only reason you feel like Spider-Man is BEST when he gets a win is because of everything else he loses. You are feeling the win with him.

[ItsGlassPlus1 @ItsGlassPlus1]

@MinuteNerdNews Seriously, Peter struggles exactly because it's cathartic to see him ultimately come out the victor. If Peter never had a reason to give up, it wouldn't be inspiring to see him always choose not to

[ItsGlassPlus1 @ItsGlassPlus1]

@BustyLoads619 Ofc you can do the same thing as that in comics, but you might be starting in the 40s or 60s and it won't resemble a modern issue at all so I don't blame people for being wary

[ItsGlassPlus1 @ItsGlassPlus1]

@BustyLoads619 I don't think getting into comics is especially hard, it's just that getting into everything else is easy. For someone just starting out "You aren't expected to read everything, just start wherever" is less inviting than "Start at Chapter/Episode/Movie 1"

[ItsGlassPlus1 @ItsGlassPlus1]

Because Ben had "seen the world" I'll assume he had at minimum a 3 year active duty commitment. If he volunteered at 18 that would make Ben at minimum 67 years old if he were still alive. Assuming AF15 happened 14 years ago would make Ben 53 years old when he died

[ItsGlassPlus1 @ItsGlassPlus1]

I didn't see anyone talk about this - after the last issue we can estimate Uncle Ben's minimum age as well. Crane was born 44 years ago + 9 month pregnancy + 1 year break after 5 months of failed pregnancies after Ben returned from the army
