Spider-Man Noir (2025) #3 is so bad

I'm not gonna do an analysis on it because it's genuinely just so ass, I'm sorry I feel like I'm losing interest in this if they continue making shitty iterations of my favorite character.

SPOILER FOR SPIDER-MAN NOIR #2 (2025)

I haven't gathered my thoughts about the previous issue, only because I forgot to write them down and just spoke aloud about it, to my friends LOL. Aside from my own tardiness, I managed to read the recent issue — may I say, it's not too shabby! I had a lot of fun reading it and it was surprisingly good! here's my own analysis on this comic as a person who both loved Noir and 616 universes, and knew the “standard” gist of what Spider-Man and Gwen's relationship should/could be.

First panels: Impeccable artsyle, I'm still trying to get used to it because it's not Noir (2009) type of color scheme and lineart, or maybe because to me — it's too smooth looking? But still visually appealing, I'm just used to the handrawn aspect and feel of older SM Noir comics. Artstyle critique done, let's move onto the story. He's back to fighting the Scorpion Gang a continuation from the previous issue. New characters, okay, okay, I like that! They're very interesting, I thought the big guy he was fighting in the panels was Kingpin, but I don't think so(?) he's not named nor mentioned by name, unless he was mentioned in the previous issue and I forgot about it. I'll get back to that when I re-read SM NOIR #1 again.

Then he was caught off guard cause Big Guy’s pimple thing(? 😭) released acidic or toxic waste; that burned through Peter's glove but not his skin, alright, what sorcery is this... Anyway,after said punch, Peter flew to the nearby roof where Rugrats (I call them rugrat cause why not) see him and waited him to gain consciousness again. His hat was screwed in the process so he ditched it, and one of the Rugrats gave him a crystal/gem thing? It looks like a white diamond or a pearl with edges on it. Now we get to the good part! Peter Meeting up with Gwen again, in the previous issue he knows he accidentally killed off Gwen's dad btw.

Homie over here is actually the WORST guy Gwen could ever go to about obtaining information about her father's death, Homie KILLED her dad 😭😭 and HE knows !!! Btw, he doesn't admit to himself yet, until later on, but still!! I just want people to know why Gwen's valid for hating on Spider-Man, especially now in this circumstance where Spider-Man actually killed Captain Stacy!!!!! He finds a safe in The Stacy's house, he said he knew how to unlock it but it was never shown that he did and he uncovered what was inside. Next panel shows him being in The Black Cat, and meeting an old friend named Arnie. No idea who that man is and what idea he sprouted from, but I think he's not an actual character from the 616 comics and he was made for this universe. Arnie gives him a flyer about a Pro-American Rally, also I think Arnie is a notsee cause he glazed H*tler. Onward to the next panel — I noticed that this issue was sooo fast paced when it comes to his detective and civilian life, it's literally 1 panel each 😭😭 then every fight scene consists of 2-4 pages. Just a miniscule rant. Mary Jane is hereee!! He already said in the previous issue that he and MJ didn't worked out and they eventually fell off, and now we get to know why because MJ told him LOL. Same reason why Amber from the Invincle animated show ditched Mark, MJ ditched him because he was gone for hours and days, MONTHS at a time and she got tired of his ass. I LOVE her here, despite not dressing like ‘09 MJ or 2020 MJ, she's such a good sport about their relationship and kudos to Erik Larsen for that LIKEEEEEEE I genuinely thought this comic would make Gwen and MJ fight over Peter *cough* 616…… She was pushing him to come clean to Gwen because MJ KNOWS he's falling for her and she's basically telling him to own up and admit his double life if he wants them to work out. I LOVE YOU ‘25 MJ, LIKE HOLY CHARACTERIZATION, SHE SOOOOO WOULD BE A GIRL'S GIRL 🥹🥹🥹✌🏻✌🏻

After that he went to the Pro American Rally and beat up the Notsee, one guy was trying to beat him up and released green smoke, when Peter webbed the guy up, all left was his clothes. Pete's confused, but at least it's over. Last scene was Gwen waiting for Peter, Gwendy asked if he could stay with her for the night, Peter agrees and TBC.

Alright, I saw someone say their relationship is too "fast paced", which I don't agree that much, we just think they're moving too fast because in Peter's perspective we know he likes her but she doesn't. If anything she wanted comfort and sees Peter as someone who can provide it since she does trust him after all. All in all, I love this comic, it's going great and I can't wait for Gwen and MJ to kiss and leave Peter……

Questions for the next issues: Will Gwen die? Curious about where their relationship will head to, since in the original Spider-Man run (616) MJ becomes Pete's new girlfriend. But since PeteMj already sailed and sank, now what? I wanna trust Erik Larsen’s vision and I can't wait for his take in this. If Gwen will make amends and be fine with Spider-Man killing her father or what not.

ween day 15 - spider

2009 comic noir you are so special to me.

[tyrantisterror]

I love that we have two Spider-Verse movies, soon to be three, and not a single one of them has even so much implied that they're going to include Morlun, the interdimensional vampire who only eats people with spider powers, who was the reason for the Spider-verse crossover event that the movies are a loose adaptation of.

I love this because Morlun sucks and is a truly shitty character, in many ways being the pinnacle of all the things that one can do wrong when creating a new supervillain for a superhero who's had over half a century of adventures.

[tyrantisterror]

Ok, so, when adding a new antagonist to the mythos of a long-running character like Spider-Man, a lot of writers seem to think the only way to make their contribution count is to try and top the antagonists that came before. They don't just want to make another Spider-Man villain, but rather The Best Spider-Man Villain, the Archest of Arch-Foes, the one so bad that all the previous arch-enemies look like a pile of shit by comparison. They will craft a character who isn't so much a person as a collection of traits designed to antagonize the protagonist as much as possible - someone who has no facet of their existence that isn't entirely dependent on that comparison with the protagonist.

The thing is, a character that's existed as long as Spider-Man will have arch-enemies already, and they're probably much better characters. The Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus, Spider-Man's time-tested arch-enemies, both have a lot to their characterization that can be divorced from Spider-Man entirely and still make them recognizable. They don't exist solely for Spider-Man's narrative, which in turn allows them to bring more depth to that narrative when they're included in it. Both villains have their own shit going on, their own lives, their own motivations and desires outside of Spider-Man, which allows them to make all sorts of interesting plots when they do come into conflict with him.

But Morlun, the Interdimensional Vampire Who Only Eats People With Spider-Powers, doesn't have that. Everything about him is crafted solely to be a dick to Spider-Man. Doctor Octopus has big evil schemes - harnessing the power of the sun, recruiting other villains to become a supervillain crimelord, etc. Green Goblin kills his business rivals, abuses his son, and even tries to corrupt Spider-Man into being his sidekick in crime. But Morlun? His evil schemes are, uh, killing and eating alternate versions of Spider-Man, and then trying to kill and eat the version of Spider-Man we care about. That's it. That's all he does, because it's all he can do, because there's nothing about him that isn't solely devoted to being Spider-Man's Biggest Bad Guy.

Decades from now, people will still have new ideas for stories where Spider-Man fights the Green Goblin or Doctor Octopus, because those two are actual characters. And no one will remember Morlun unless they've memorized whatever passes for The Big Book of Obscure Spider-Man trivia in the future, because Morlun was a badly written plot device masquerading as an antagonist.

Post-Script:

I should note that Venom, the evil alien parasite that was Spider-Man's costume for a hot minute and now hates him because Spider-Man rejected his love confession and bonded to another reporter who is basically Peter Parker But Douchier, initially had the exact same problem as Morlun, i.e. being so obviously designed to be an Anti-Spider-Man that it was kind of painful. But the kernel of a unique idea buried in that concept - i.e. "a douchebag and his evil alien parasite boyfriend" - proved interesting enough to make Venom his own character, and that's honestly pretty good. And hell, even Venom's arch-enemy, Carnage, who is basically the Morlun to Venom's Spider-Man, ended up growing into his own character too, in a Freddy Krueger sort of way. I don't think Morlun's going to be salvaged the way those two were, though.

Post-Post-Script:

The correct way to add an iconic new villain to a long-running superhero story is the Harley Quinn method, btw. Harley Quinn worked not because she was "The Baddest Bad Guy Batman has ever and will ever face," but because she had a unique personality that no other rogue in Batman's wide pantheon of villains sported, and as such added a new dynamic to Batman's adventures whenever she popped up. This is reason 143 why Harley Quinn is one of the best characters of all time.

Ok one last bit: a consistent lesson I've taken away from my time reading Spider-Man comics (and do not be mistaken, I am very much a Filthy Casual Spider-Man fan, I have read nowhere near all the comics starring him because Jesus Christ do you know how many that is an how many of those comics suck ass) is that characters are better when they have their own shit going on.

The reason why Mary Jane became Spider-Man's most famous love interest is that she was the first one whose personality did not begin and end with "is Spider-Man's love interest." Liz Allen, Betty Brant, and Gwen Stacy were all written by Stan Lee with the character concept of "A girlfriend for Spider-Man," while Mary Jane was written with the concept of "A recurring obstacle/temptation in Spider-Man's romance with Girlfriend Character of the Moment." Mary Jane could flirt with Spider-Man, invite him to parties, present all these little temptations for him to quit his current course of action, whether that be trying to sneak out to be a superhero or trying to keep a date with Gwen Stacy or whoever, but since they were never intended to get together, Mary Jane also had to have Her Own Shit Going On. Gwen Stacy was emotionally available for a relationship - Mary Jane, however, was hard to get.

And the result was that Peter and Mary Jane's relationship had a lot more intrigue to it, a lot more push and pull. Their flirtations and growing friendship had a push and pull - it was a conflict of its own in a way that was far more nuanced and realistic than the "Peter I love you but this is the seventeenth issue in a row you've been late for our date, and also I hate your alter-ego because of some contrived bullshit probably involving the Daily Bugle" routine that Liz/Betty/Gwen pulled.

The writers broke up the Peter/Liz and Peter/Betty ships pretty quickly, and spun their wheels with redundant Gwen Stacy plot-lines until finally realizing they had no idea what to do with her and killed her off. But Mary Jane stuck around because, like Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus, she had her own shit going on, and that made her relationship with Peter interesting. It made their romance complicated and fun.

...until writers started writing Mary Jane as, well, Spider-Man's girlfriend/wife, and failed to give her any shit to do beyond Being Spider-Man's love interest. And soon writers who grew up in the "Mary Jane is just Peter's love interest" era wanted to get rid of her, because, like Gwen, what the fuck can you do with that?

And ironically, getting killed is kind of the best thing to happen to Gwen, because now she has THAT as her Own Shit Going on. Post-death Gwen stories really bring a lot of dimension to the character that she originally lacked - one of the reasons Spider-Gwen/Ghost Spider is so popular is that they can really play with dramatic irony and the cosmic tragedy of Gwen and Peter seemingly being predestined to love each other only for one of them to die tragically. That's compelling shit - Gwen's own compelling shit, going on, making her cool!

Characters should have relationships to each other in a narrative, and those relationships can and should be important. But if you want a character to be truly memorable and lasting, they have to also have their own shit going on, because if they're nothing more than a satellite, well, they're kinda doomed to be boring.

Hey, so apparently erik larsen is going to be writing a new spider man noir series, and it's set to be released around October (? Im not so sure about when) and the premise is peter works as a private eye and gwen stacy is a client looking to solve her father's murder

Sources:

https://www.cbr.com/spider-man-noir-new-era-begins/

So what do you think of it? Personally, after the 2020 run, my expectations dropped, which kind of sucks cus he's my favorite spider man, so yeah :(( I hope its not as bad as 2020

Honestly, I don't know what to expect because yeah. the 2020 comics really have lowered my expectations.... which means things can only go up? I'm not too familliar with Laren's writing (That I'm aware of) so I don't really know.

But.... I guess the plot seems cool? I wonder if they'll formally establish him as a PI in it because none of the comics have any background as to how the hell he got there. And I guess we'll get to see a noir Gwen Stacy design? I'm interested how they'll go about it.

Writing this made me think of the Daredevil Noir series, and for some reason I feel like they might have similar vibes? with the mystery portion? but thats probably me being hopeful because I LOVE that series. Have you guys seen the art for it??? It literally blows me away with all the emotion in it

[chooeychoco]

Oh my god, you referring to the new Spider-Man comic taking a Daredevil Noir route is giving me doubts about this!

Most of the ladies in the Noir franchise has always been antagonized in some way, Galleta, Rose, Huma, I hope Gwen doesn't get added to the list. She's already on hot waters, I don't want her image to be ruined more than it already is.

If anything I hope their relationship is the Romeo and Juliet type, like Logan and Mariko's. Unless, Erik Larsen has a different plan about it instead of recycling the same story from back then. For now, I'll keep my expectations at neutral, I'm still disappointed at the recent Redhood comic... 😞

[buzzvoxtvtek]

I just got an idea for a cross over

How about GI Robot from creature commandos meets spider noir from into/across the spiderverse?

Since they're both nazi haters and killers I think they'd be besties and grab drinks together

(I need fan art ASAP they're such cuties)
