Spider-Man General Discussion

Go To

This thread's for the Spider-Man comics and spin-offs, whether they're decades old or brand new.

  • Apart from the main Marvel Universe titles, Ultimate Spider-Man, Spider-Man "What If?" stories, crossovers, guest appearances in other books, Alternate Universe tales and things like Marvel's manga adaptations are all on-topic here.
  • Spider-Man 'family' books are on-topic (as are their own crossovers, guest appearances etc.) - e.g. Spider-Man 2099, Miles Morales, Spider-Woman, Silk, Spider-Gwen, Venom, Carnage, Black Cat, Red Goblin and Spider-Verse.
  • Characters and comics that originated in Spider-Man but are no longer directly connected to the spider-franchise (e.g. Punisher, Silver Sable) are not on-topic, unless you're discussing historical connections and crossovers. If in doubt, check before you write a long post. If this isn't the right place, there's a more general Marvel Comics thread which covers them.

Technically, Marvel's Infinity Comics (and their predecessors, Infinite Comics) are webcomics, not comic books, but it's fine to talk about their Spider-Man stories here.

Discussions that are only about Spider-Man adaptations in other media (films, video games etc.) are off-topic, but discussing the differences between the adaptations and the original comics is fine - as long as spoilers for the adaptations are tagged.

Please follow the spoiler policy rules - tag spoilers for the latest issues, for any previews or content leaks, and for off-topic comics. When including spoiler tags, try to write so that tropers can make an informed decision before viewing them (e.g. which series and issue will they spoil?).

     Original Thread OP 
Since everyone likes talking about him. I know little about him(Ironically,I got nearly all I know about him from a Batman thread),but he's apparently important so I made this thread. Enjoy.

She's gonna flip once she learns about the Gwen Goblin.

[up] She's already met her, Gwen Goblin defeated and captured her in this week's Spider-Society.

Oh, wait, are you talking about her MJ?

[up]

And that's the second Gwen Goblin she has met. Though at least the first one had her own design.

She’s shown interest in guys before so bi wouldn’t be implausible

It is annoying though that her book introduced a new dynamic for Gwen and her MJ and nope now she’s in the 616 again. Fuck her own supporting cast. Fuck learning what her Natasha did about the Storms. She’s got to be crossover fodder

The sad thing is, the writer for Spider-Gwen: Smash was interested in following through on those threads.

I am wondering if editorial just doesn't want to pull the trigger on Gwen being bi, for some reason. I can't think of a good reason not to do it, but let's be honest, editors haven't always needed good reasons for weird decisions.

Don't let this distract you from the fact Harry made HIS suit's A.I. into a copy of Norman Osborn.

So what do you think's going to happen, A.I Norman takes over the suit or possesses Harry?

My guess is that A.I. Norman will nudge Harry into being a more brutal hero, and willing to do whatever it takes to stop the Maker, which will lead to Harry falling out with Peter, then somehow A.I. Norman will take over the suit and fight Peter at least once.

AI Norman takes over Harry, but Norman offers himself instead. AI Norman takes him and it is revealed that was what he wanted all along since Norman Osborn's mind should reside in Norman Osborn. Harry feels guilty about it.

Please remember that, ultimately, fictional works of entertainment are just that.

A Solidjj video looks at the time the Spider-Man Animated Series had a water-based clone of MJ die. Poor Spider-Man.

I was reading Spider-Man 256 on unlimited. Set during the alien costume era and while Peter is dating Black Cat, he has her snap pictures for him while he fights random criminals.

I’m impressed that Peter managed to double down on his photography fraud. Not only is he selling pictures of himself - sometimes staged - now he’s not even taking the pictures he’s selling under his name.

But I joked to myself that Black Cat’s pictures will be an improvement from Peter gluing his camera somewhere but then Peter notices during developing ‘oh no these are better than my usual!’ And even Robbie tells him that the new pictures are better than his usual when he goes to sell them

He also tells Peter that readers are getting bored of pictures of Spider-Man fighting random criminals

Reminds me of that one storyline starring a photographer who was bitter Peter always made it to the front page while his own photos were page 11 and 12 stuff. Always nice to see hard working people get foiled because they aren't the main characters of the setting.

They settle on Peter being a good photographer around the time when he releases that book, but for the longest time he just didn't care about photography at all. When he couldn't get pictures of a fight with a villain he just made some up.

When he lost his powers during the clone saga and was taking pictures of Spider-Ben, Robbie told him that now his pictures didn’t even have the exciting angles they used to

Peter maybe just sucks at photography

Peter is into science. Photography was something he did just to pay the bills and would likely have ditched without a second thought if he was allowed to have an actual career in something he was interested in.

I will always remember that after his first fight with Sandman he realized "Oh, shit, I forgot to take any pictures!" and threw some leftover sand in the air and tried punching it, just hoping that would work. I don't remember if we see if Jonah was fooled or not.
