Comics The Official UnMasking Poll - Do You Support it?

[OzzyKP]

Since there is a lot of discussion about it, but no poll to see where everyone stands, I started one.

So vote & discuss.

 

[Compi716]

NO!

 

[Arcturus]

NO!

Agreed.

 

[JackSkellington]

Hell No!

 

[Ultimate_Superman]

Hell No, Joey tried it with Superman failed big time.

 

[Doc Destruction]

No. Worst. Thing. Ever.

 

[Doc_OCK_4MUGEN]

I don't know this is as bad as base jumping without a parachute... Tanking a btah and throwing electrical appliances in it... wearing a bulletprooof vest and shooting yourself in the head kinda bad...

 

[Kanon]

I used to think it was horrible that The Avengers knew Peter was Spidey, heck, I even thought May knowing was bad, so... NO!

 

[shinlyle]

It was SO hard not to vote "banana"....


HELL NO. When this is all retconned, and it WILL be, I want to see the look of defeat of Joey Q's face.

Are there interesting stories that could be told with Spidey being unmasked? Yes. Only one, though, and it's called "CIVIL WAR". After that, we get to endure a different villian tryign to kill Peter or MJ or Aunt May every month...wow. I guess that means that the writers get out of having to think of something original for another year or so, thanks to a "shocking" development.

 

[November Rain]

it's certainly out of character but if it goes with severe consequences, then i thoroughly support it.

the rammifications could be potentially legendary and lead to a gwen stacy death-esque which would be fantastic.

 

[Citizen_Kaine]

I've noticed that the more people who learned Spidey's identity, the lamer the character got

It was fine just after Venom knew, but jesus christ, during the last six years its like he's stopped trying to hide it.

**** NO!

 

[ben_reilly_s_s]

YES, YES, YES

 

[November Rain]

YES, YES, YES

 

[taskmaster]

Does voting for Banana count as an " I couldn't care less" vote?

 

[Nathan]

Heck no. This is like the final nail on Spidey's coffin.

I hate it. BAD BAD BAD BAD IDEA. I didn't like him moving in with the Avengers, but I could live with it. But THIS, it's a very bad idea.

 

[Captivated]

No. No. No.

When I think of the MANY breath-holding, nail-biting times that Peter almost lost his secret ID... it SO hightened the drama of the stories, and is such a part of his persona... THIS voluntary, almost casual unmaking has belittled and diminished all those times...

.... like in one of my all time FAVORITE stories called Gentleman's Agreement, when the cabbie was struggling with the moral dilemma of profiting by giving up Spidey's ID.

..like in MKSM when that nurse took his picture while he was un[SIZE=-1]conscious[/SIZE]. And the Vulture grabed him, completely helpless, out of that hospital bed and removed his bandages.

...like

Pretty much.

 

[Webz14]

Captain America is one of my favorite heroes but...

or maybe

but in the end

 

[Elijya]

YES, YES, YES

 

[Electro UK]

DUNNO, DUNNO, DUNNO

 

[roach]

I am against it because it is gonna require a very stupid reason as to get his secret identity back.

 

[OzzyKP]

I am cautiously optomistic.

My heart sank when I first saw it "they can't do that! holy ****!"

But then again, if we fanboys demand that our star character never changes, never evolves, never breaks with tradition then that character loses something. If he loses the possibility of something big and momentus like revealing his identity to the whole fricken world, then each issue becomes isolated from every other. That just creates a weak character and a weak comic.

Peter graduated high school, graduated college, got married, Aunt May found out his identity, it's all part of his growth and evolution as a character. While difficult to imagine for us now, having a public identity is just one more aspect of the character's growth. Assuming they don't do a ridiculous retcon (please no) then I think this will be an intersting change in the long run - even if it's difficult to accept now.

 

[farmernudie]

Nope!

This goes against everything Spidey is and would do. He's thought about it a million times and there's never been a reason for him to do it. His secret identity is important to him and the safety of his loved ones. Pete's said that for the past 30 years!

But, i guess some bigwigs decided they know him better all of the sudden.

How are they gonna fix this tho?

Civil War was all a dream??

Interestingly enough, I was thinking that exact same thing...
