It's been two whole years since Spider-Man's continuing adventures essentially and effectively ceased with "One More Day."
I disagree. I've been loving Spidey's continuing adventures moreso NOW than in the last 22 years, barring a few gems in that period.
Since that time The character of Peter Parker the Amazing Spider-Man essenitally remains in a perpetually arrested state, or or more accurately a regressed static state.
I've seen some growth... as recent as "American Son" as well as in ASM #600... I forget, do you even read the books?
Mary Jane found herself placed in Gail Simone's infamous refrigirator.
Really? That must have been a clone that we saw in ASM #560/561 & in ASM #600 and onward... one who still remembers Spider-Man's identity to boot.
Spider-Man made a deal with the devil while Nick Fury and Logan aren't allowed to smoke.
No question that OMD was a poorly executed story with pretty pictures.
However, as EIC of Marvel, as well as having a father who died of lung cancer, I can understand JQ's "no smoking" policy. Do I agree with it? Not necessarily... but I haven't had any close ones die of lung cancer, now have I?
This was two years ago, but the wounds of this incident still weep fresh.
See a doctor...
I am still very much enraged at the fiascos of OMD and the continuing BND, my rage builds upon itself like a sword being forged by a blacksmith.
Again... see a doctor.
Who is to blame for Spider-Man's defeat at the hands of cosmic evil?
Uhmmm.... Marvel's continual attempts to create change to their characters rather than have them go through stagnant situations month after month after month after month after month after month....
Not Joe Quesada, Joe Quesada a merely a conduit for the masses- he merely gives the people what they want.
I blame you, all of you. I have started to hate all geeks and fanboys.
Why do I forsake the social sub-group from which I hail? It was your immediate embrace of reboots, re-makes, re-imaginings, and prequels
It was you who Killed James Bond, burried Jason, put Freddy to bed, and sent Michael Myers home. You all cheer at Comic-Con with every proclaimation of forthcoming blasphemey upon our culture.
You turned Sci-Fi to SyFy, and made G4 a sad clone of MTV. You wanted to be so cool with your Xbox Parties and your Red-bull that you destroyed geekdom. I am no longer a geek- I have become a reaction to your cultural artistic defamation.
Of course it was all of us, including yourself, that got us where we are today... because in some small form or another, we ALL take part in creating a system...
Not all fans "embraced" reboots and change... I still remember a few angry DC fans who didn't like Crisis back in 1985... and maybe if YOU had encouraged your friends to go to all those movies PRIOR to the studios deciding to revamp/reboot/rechange, maybe those extra bucks might have kept those franchises alive... but YOU live in a system that is monetary driven, so if the aforementioned franchises cannot keep themselves alive in a financial sense (thanks to your lack of involvement, perhaps? as well as many others), then you cannot blame the studios and recording companies and comic book companies for trying to do something to stir up enough interest to keep the readers buying...
It's easy to point the finger at somebody else, but why not take a GOOD HARD look in the mirror before doing so... you might not like what you see, but maybe it'll offer enough insight to create change.
Spider-Man is dead you killed him.
I disagree. Spider-Man is very much alive to me.
You'll say I'm crazy, but I am not the one who plays viral marketing games for the reward of Button pins and fake newspapers.
I may have no life, but your life is merely someone elses marketing ploy- you are simply extras.
I have no idea what the hell you just said up there, so I would assume that I take no part in that first paragraph... and you're right... we all have NO lives... not because we're comic book nerds, but because our lives as a whole are meaningless and only serve one purpose... the propagation of our species... our lives are like comic book mini-series... the last page of the last book is our death, and every word that's in between is just a waste of breath... I am no better than you, nor are you any better than me... but what we choose to do with ourselves during that "waste of breath" time can make a difference... you don't like the system YOU helped create... then help incite change... and real change always comes from within.
