History Headscratchers / Spinnerette

*** WordOfGod is that that second jolt have her ''Sahira's'' [[PowerCopying powers]], which then reacted with her own. Since Sahira has ShapeshifterBaggage and can copy CK supers like Greta, she's almost certainly CK-based.

* Why can't Lambha connect the dots between Heather and Spinnerette? His genetic infusion device, which he was using for experiments with spider DNA, suffers a serious malfunction, and within a week a spider-themed superheroine with mutations to match appears in the same town. A superheroine with the same below-average height as his grad student, who in turn was present for the accident, unaccountably failed to tell him about it for several hours, and now seems oddly distracted all the time. Even for someone who clearly just thinks of her as "grad student, annoying, one", and who tries not to think about superheroics, this seems a bit much to miss.

** Actually, a bear would know a LOT about efficiency of movement, angles of power, and much of the like. That is basically ALL animals think about, much of it hardwired. It's an entire field of research, Biomimetics. The idea that evolution has created much better solutions to certain problems than we would have thought of. Bears just have a fighting style based on their advantages, namely weight, strength, and endurance.

** It's possible that they're some kind of tarantulas (they're the right size), and tarantulas generally can't climb glass. It wouldn't exactly e good practice to leave the cage open, but you could probably get away with it.

** We have successfully sent probes there. None of them survived very long, true, but doesn't that general strike you as ''exactly'' the sort of person who would send a two-way mission there and ''say'' that it was a one-way that died after an hour and a half?

* If Superheroes identity is secret then how can a Company, a comic company for that matter, can sue for copyright infrigment? I mean, even with the true incorporation of Superheroes in society (which mean there must be some sort of regulation, a form of police or control, specialized insurance agencies, a profesional line of Superheroes in goverment, in military, international associations, an amend of laws (which opens another can of FridgeLogic) which so far had not shown or hinted) how can you demand a person who, by its very profession must mantain secrecy, for copying a look? And if it not secret, how can they defend themselves from criminal or supervillian counterattack? Like Ms. Venus, who was sued and lost, by DC for copyright infrigment over her Power Girl-like costume and became Super MILF? How does that ''even work''. And if it's so useless, why go with the superheroe secret identity/alter ego charade?

*** I's have to agree with this one; it's much the same way how a company can be sued, rather than its majority shareholder(s), in real life; a company, in the eyes of the law, is seen as seperate to the people who own it.

** Yeah, there are some examples in another story but the thing is... How? How do you sue to the point of losing a house a person whose very identity is secret? A vaporware who by very definition is A) False-B) A misdirection. To whom you sue? how you force the person to present and managed to remove money and propriety? They are 'vigilantes'' A.K.A: people who's very identity and whereabouts are hidden to all others for obvious reason. And sue the super heroe?... Okay, you sued the hero, then what? Force the person to reveal their secret identity and then you get the money? And if it so easy, why had a secret Identity in the first place? It's obvious it can’t stop a comic company, what hope it had against the mob? The Villains? The cabals and all your enemies? Why bother with the secret Identity/vigilantism when you can be brought down so easy as a copyright infringement?. How can be a comparison in Real life that could validate that?

* If Heather posesses Superstrength, enough agility and the mental dexterity to control perfectly six arms doing ''different actions simultaneously'' it should have beaten the mook straight down, fight knowledge or not fight knowledge. One fact that seems to be forgotten about Superstrength is that it need equal amount of toughness to work or it would be like hitting with enough force to destroy a wall with a bat made of crystal. And this is not only in its hand, for if she can hold with her Superstrength obscene amount weight it mean toughness in shoulder, neck, stomach, thighs, knees etc... making her literally a "walking tank" (which is why Superstrength by robotic extremities is plain impossible in real life - read Website/{{Cracked}} for more) meaning that the Mook attacks should have been completely useless. A bear for example know nothing about fighting style, combat pose, economic of movement or energy but nobody would argue that 9 out of 10 times it would rip apart a Martial Master in real life or like trying to dislocate the Terminator shoulder [[spoiler: Which is why the fight of Nick Fury vs Stonewall is just pure '''bullshit''']]

*** Let's go with the mentality solution, which leave behind the fact that she had in the moment the mentality of a Superhero, in other words the confidence to win and to "fight the bad guys" and with her super reflexes and agility would make a huge difference (also if you give a baby the strenght of a planet it would be ''easier'' for him/her to kill people/things for lack of control and collateral damage) but the toughen part is just plain wrong. Yes, if you put a professional fighting ''another'' professional of course its gonna get hurt, in example like mecha maid against spinnerette, but in this case was a Mugger. A normal Mugger. Going with your analogy it would be like a baby (or a five year old) hitting a person with the complexion of Bruce Lee or more likely, a statue. If you are strong enough to break concrete, bend reinforced metal or use your body to pulverize walls a kinfe or a bullet would not hurt you alot or even considerable. Probably barely scratching you. This is a form of RealityIsUnrealistic in tends of resistance to damage and pounds/inch in effect. Hell, she could have just '''slapped''' the idiot and would have been strong and fast enough to take him down (and probably destroy his jaw or more likely break his neck).

* Maybe I'm just overthinking this, but since when were driving a Subaru or drinking from a Nalgene bottle "lesbian stereotypes"? Why are they sterotypes?

** Well, she wore a form-concealing overcoat for a while before getting the fat suit; presumably, any acquaintances would have assumed she put on the weight during that period, possibly by binge-eating out of her grief over wrecking Dr. Lambha's experiement (given how upset he gets over her normal screw-ups, freaking out over his reaction to ''that'' sounds totally plausible). That, or she just doesn't ''have'' any acquaintances, outside of Sahira (who knows the truth) and Darien (whom she barely interacts with as it is); seriously, how often do we see her talking to ''anyone'' she's known from before her superhero days? With her personality (helped by her admission of virginity), I don't find it difficult at all to imagine that she isn't very good at socializing.

* So spinnerette was thrown out of the window by her infurated roomate (who pop 4 more arms from night to day and blamed her). What I don't get is why the car ended nearly broken in half. I mean, is spinnerette really that heavy? Does her powers make her mass to increase (she looks like she would weight around 173.4 lb) to such level?

** Technically, she doesn't have telekinesis, but rather can create localized gravity fields of various intensity, and presumably re-orient them on the fly. She could theorically, say, rip a person in two, but that would require two very strong gravity fields pulling in opposite directions, so maybe she is just not capable of such finely tuned control over her powers.

** Also, how her gravity work? Shouldn't just the increse of one time gravity being enough to pulverize... well anything? By increasing the weight of all the objects in a radious, its putting all its part far beyond their limit of resistance (imagine a person whose brain suddendly weights ''twice'', then you get each of their bones, muscles, nerves, eyes, blood and so on), but instead is like she is putting invisible training weights in the back of her enemies. Its seems more like pushing instead of gravity, that's all.

*** It also might have something to do with the fact that Franklin is traveling forward in time, and everyone knows who he already is, hence they have a percieved image of Benjamin Franklin that means any action taken against him is influenced by the time traveler's future, if they prevent him from having that future, they'll cause a paradox that loops back and prevents their action from happening. Whereas someone travelling back in time would most likely just cease to exist. Atleast that's the only way it makes sense. Might also be that all time travelers are protected this way.

** Being a hero doesn't mean you're legally required to argue with the powers that be if what they're doing doesn't matxh up with the mainstream concept of right and wrong. That's just being a complete idiot.

** Given that Minerva looks nothing like a classical cerberus I don't think it would have occure to them she was the real deal until she told them.

* If Super MILF gets her abilities from her breasts, what happened when her children breastfed?

** She was unaffected by the Fireproof Warehouse (she never tested if the park did anything), demonstrating that she's not CK-based...but then after she gets that second infusion-ray blast, she's nearly killed by her CK reaction GoingCritical. What gives?

* Super [=MILFs=] OriginStory: an alien [[http://www.spinnyverse.com/2012/09/26/09262012/ nanoscale tokamak]], [[SuspensionOfDisbelief OK]]. But brought back from [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Venus Venus]? The planet with 90 times Earth’s atmospheric pressure, over 400 °C surface temperature, the sulfuric acid rain in the upper atmosphere? Really?

* So, which is it, Krow? [[spoiler: Has Minerva been downgraded to conjoined humans with lycanthropy, or is she still a cerberus who now has the option of temporarily becoming human?]] You can't have it both ways.
** It said right in the comic that she contracted lycanthropy--in this case, lycanthropy isn't "human who can turn into a wolf," it's "can shift between human and wolf forms ''whichever form you're starting from''".
*** Then he should make this clearer instead of making it look like an inconsistency--and if that's the case, that makes it pretty ironic that he mocked Twilight in an early chapter, since he ended up making werewolves work the same way Stephenie Meyer thinks they do. Even still, there's a massive boatload of other inconsistencies. [[spoiler: For instance, how does she even trigger a change after the initial one? It would be nice to know this, but Krow decided to cut corners on that detail and just let us guess. And for that matter, what does her changing in the current scenario even affect? Why did she suddenly decide to do this? Aside from being another message to give Krow more money if you want to know what the hell is going on, what purpose does this serve? No one else is bothering with being inconscpicuous right now, and even if they were, she still has three heads. And if she could do this all along, why was hiding her such a big deal? Why even bother trying to hide her when she will NEVER look normal and has already been seen walking around populated areas as-is? Why does her dress still fit in human form when she visibly lost muscular density, shrunk down in height by at least 3 feet and went down several cup sizes? The list goes on.]] And as a side-gripe, it'd be nice if Krow stopped using the term were-human, that's redundant and I'm amazed no one has pointed this out to him.
*** I'm sorry, but I kind of lost track of where this stopped being about an inconsistency in storytelling and started being a rant about trying to pick apart every miniscule aspect of this and going on accusatory WMG's about how this is all a devious plot to squeeze more money out of you.
*** Right, cause when an author makes content only available via purchase, includes something from that content in the free content, and then adds lines that amount to "Wanna know more? Then you gotta buy the supplemental material, suckers.", that's totally not trying to get money out of people. And that took up about half a sentence anyway, so you bringing that up at all as if it was a major point was pointless. And hey, if you don't want critical types noticing and picking apart glaring inconsistencies and unexplained bits, maybe Krow should try harder to not fill the comic with glaring inconsistencies and unexplained bits.
*** Oh no! Someone who makes a living off of the comics wants to make more money! How terrible. There has been a consistent belligerent tone to pretty much all of your posts on this subject. Especially with the "suckers" addendum up there. This is Headscratchers. I'd say most of your gripes aren't so much "glaring inconsistencies and unexplained bits" as you being massively overanalytic and critical, actively looking for and exaggerating reasons to gripe. For one thing, you keep calling things "inconsistent" when they just haven't been explained, then coming up with reasons that you ''think'' would make it inconsistent and jumping to assumptions about how things work in such a way that you've concluded that it won't. Half your rant up there is about things that ''haven't happened''.
*** I mean, let's take it from the top, shall we?
--->''So, which is it, Krow? [[spoiler: Has Minerva been downgraded to conjoined humans with lycanthropy, or is she still a cerberus who now has the option of temporarily becoming human?]] You can't have it both ways.''
:::: Blatant, unfounded assumption that the first was the case when such a thing hasn't been suggested at all in the comic, followed by an annoyed sounding accusation the author's trying to "have it both ways."
--->''that makes it pretty ironic that he mocked Twilight in an early chapter, since he ended up making werewolves work the same way Stephenie Meyer thinks they do''
::::Krow was making fun of Meyer fans, and how they were crazy rabid fangirls. She wasn't making fun of how her werewolves worked.
--->''For instance, how does she even trigger a change after the initial one? It would be nice to know this, but Krow decided to cut corners on that detail and just let us guess.''
::::How is that an inconsistency at all? Is an author somehow obligated to diagram out every detail for how something works as soon as it happens? No, no they are not. "They haven't explained yet" is not an inconsistency. You're acting like Krow has somehow shortchanged you by not having big blocks of exposition detailing how everything works.
--->''And for that matter, what does her changing in the current scenario even affect? Why did she suddenly decide to do this?''
::::It's interesting characterization and a character development, maybe? Or maybe it's going to affect a future plot? Again, you not personally knowing the author's exact motivation for everything is not an inconsistency.
--->''Aside from being another message to give Krow more money if you want to know what the hell is going on, what purpose does this serve?''
::::A pointless TakeThat on your part.
--->''No one else is bothering with being inconscpicuous right now, and even if they were, she still has three heads. And if she could do this all along, why was hiding her such a big deal?''
::::A person with three heads is less conspicuous than a giant werewolf with three heads. And they say outright in the comic that she's embarrassed about it, so she's unlikely to want to do it. Also, she's much smaller--a lot easier to just get around if you're only 7 feet tall as opposed to 10.
--->''Why does her dress still fit when she visibly lost muscular density and shrunk down in height by at least 3 feet?''
::::Magic pants.
::::So, let's recap. Nothing you mentioned in the "massive boatload of inconsistencies" was inconsistent with...well, '''anything'''. It's all you just personally griping about a bunch of really, ''really'' trivial stuff.
*** Lemme tackle these one by one.

- I was referring to the part with the Edward Cullen expy designed to mock sparklepires, actually.
*** In any case, nothing to do with werewolves. So, again, not a inconsistency.
- Didn't say it was an inconsistency, that one's something left unexplained, which I also mentioned Krow has been doing lately.
*** You included it as a list of "massive boatload of other inconsistencies". And who cares? Authors don't have to explain everything, especially something that...well, we've not even been shown is going to matter in any way. I.e., you're griping for the sake of griping.
- Yes, clearly her randomly deciding to do this at the moment will affect future plot points. Classic "everything is foreshadowing" defense.
*** Ah, the classic, "I can dismiss this as randomly deciding" defense. Again: '''You are just griping'''.
- No, just stating a fact. I've had experiences with Krow personally that show how much of a money-grubber he can be, and when an author does something like this and adds throwaway lines like "Oh, such and such a thing happened, long story" when a character asks for an explanation, that's usually the clue that they want you to buy supplementary material to fill in the blanks for yourself.
*** And...who cares? He wants to get paid for his work.
- Oh yes, cause it's so often you see a three-headed woman, that won't draw any attention at all. Also, cerberus, not werewolf, need I remind you. This whole thing, according to you yourself, hasn't changed that she's a cerberus, not a human who becomes a wolf. And I also notice you skipped over the part where I brought up the fact that it was suddenly not okay for her to be seen in her natural form undisguised in public despite it being perfectly okay before and apparently since.
*** In an unabashedly comic-booky universe like this? Yeah, I can see it being no big deal. Certainly less of a big deal than a walking, talking, 10-foot-tall three headed dog. I skipped that part because it was basically the same as the previous part.
- Despite the fact that in chapter 9, her clothes didn't resize themselves along with her. So yes, inconsistency.
*** Okay. ''New'' MagicPants.\\\
Bottom line: This is a silly, silly webcomic about a bunch of superheroes who have strange, improbable, and, in fact, mostly completely unexplained powers, and you are getting bent out of shape about one in particular, nitpicking and overanalyzing to find miniscule things to gripe about as if the comic had personally kicked your dog. This section is about inconsistencies within the story--you have not successfully named a single one. You've named a list of things that you, personally, think are ''grievous'' offenses for reasons that still are not at all clear to me beyond, "I don't like Krow, so there must be something in this update to whine about how she's a naughty naughty person who only wants my moneys precious."

- Oh yes, cause it's so often you see a three-headed woman, that won't draw any attention at all. Also, cerberus, not werewolf, need I remind you.
