But the movies aren't in continuity

Neither is Ultimate Spider-Photocopy...

I'm amused by the name change of this thread. Anyhow, thanks for keeping it going till then.

No sweat... thanks for viewing...

Neither is Ultimate Spider-Photocopy...

So they're made for each other




I'm asking nicely now...if you don't do it, I will

 

[Themanofbat]

So what you're asking me is that on Day 133, I post these silly Ultimate Covers???

 

[mre]

Hey TMOB you don't like Ultimate?

 

[Themanofbat]

But the movies aren't in continuity

Aloha,
Unless it's a documentary, NO movie is within the continuity of the book it's based upon. However, the original idea of the Countdown was to highlight the Amazing Spider-Man(the foundation of the character) in relation to the movies. All three movies took elements from Amazing Spider-Man and related IN CONTINUITY comics. Not going to go on an ANTI Ultimate rant (I'll save that honor for TMOB), as much as to say that the movies SO FAR- are based upon Amazing Spider-Man and not an alternate universe Spider-Man. But, if you want to start a countdown using all Alternate Spider-Man books(Ultimate,Spider-Man 2099,Unlimited v.2)-Go For It!

Well, I'd assume you would add the second volume of the series on top of the original.


Come on, you know you'll like it

Well, I was referring to the new movie, which I've heard is gonna have an influence from Ultimate Spider-Man


I'm just giving TMOB a hard time, I know how much it'll pain him to actually do it

It sure was nice when the covers actually were an indication of what was going on inside. That was one of the things I disliked most about JMS' run.

 

[Themanofbat]

Yep....

Well to be fair, most of the indication came from all the words that cluttered up the cover.

 

[iloveclones]

That's not true at all. Although I liked those too...

 

[Themanofbat]

They were a LOT more informative than those boring Ultimate covers...

 

[CantThinkOfAName]

Don't push it, or you're in for a rude awakening come day 133

For everyone who would dare say Spidey is at his low-point, cast your eyes on these recent beauties. The immediate relaunch with Mackie/Byrne was almost unreadable. For example, does anyone even remember Shadraq's convoluted back-story? lol... and while we're at it, nice name, Shaddy.

Exactly. It was unreadable to me.

He was a supervillain or something with some girl. And then she got injured and so he took part in Normans "Gathering of Five" ritual thing. That's also where the new Spider-man in this reboot is from.

You are trying to make it sound sane. And it's still crazy.

Yes, Spider-Mattie. Terrible character at her inception, but she's been redeemed in other stories since I hear. At the time of the relaunch I was around 15 and 16, so I didn't realize the extent of how messed up this was, but Mattie was supposed to be 15 and they had her on an ASM cover making out with a recently widowed 20-something Spider-Man. I'm surprised that crap got approved. The CCA... censoring tame words like "damn" or "hell", but by all means showcase statutory rape. (Okay, maybe not "rape", but it was definitely a jail-baity cover)

"Where R U Spider-Man????" - 30 Pages

Oh, the horror, the horror!

Who the hell are half those characters? We have turkey-neck guy and one looks like Buzz from the 'Daily Grind', but clearly isn't. And what kind of title is that "Where R U Spider-Man???" Sounds like someone came up with that title over AOL Instant Messenger. Gotta love the craptitude of the late 90's Spidey books.

 

[Themanofbat]

I like the title for issue #443....

"I Can't...(And I Don't Want To)...But I Must!"

That's a stinker even by cheesey Stan Lee standards...
