Saw the movie a couple days ago, quite enjoyed it!

[nitpickrider]

I mean he's more inoculated to it by now, but that's not NOT what it feels like!

Amazing Spiderman 386

[dappercat123]

Also he can dodge bullets while you can’t, with spider-sense she wouldn’t have been able to get that close

[nitpickrider]

Yes but Peter also goes up against MUCH worse forms of violence

[dappercat123]

True, he likes to punch outside his weight class a LOT!

[nitpickrider]

...so you weren't any SMARTER as a young man, were you, Toomes?

Amazing Spiderman 387

[comicgeekscomicgeek]

As a one off idea, the Vulture stealing youth isn’t a terrible concept in and of itself. Good for one story. Making it his whole new thing just smacks of the 90’s-ification and “this idea from the sixties that’s lasted until now isn’t xTREME enough” and Silver Age embarrassment that was all over this period.

Also, “the Juvenator” is a deeply silly name. Like, it makes me think Perry the Platypus should be showing up to kick Toomes butt. (No disrespect to Doof and Perry intended, of course.)

[nitpickrider]

It almost smacks of the reason Blackie Drago was created back in the day, like someone was worried Peter beating up and old man didn't look right. As if anybody cares, Toomes is a bitch at any age

[dappercat123]

“You see Perry the platelets, lately I keep being mocked by neighborhood kids for my age……what, you think all my backstories need to be from my childhood?”

[nitpickrider]

Didn't exactly age like Alan Scott here, did he?

Amazing Spiderman 387

[krinsbez]

Which is weird, because Toomes is in pretty good shape for a man his age.

[nitpickrider]

I mean "draining life force" probably has something to do with it

[dappercat123]

I think they mean toomes before the life sucking.

[nitpickrider]

The most functional marriage in Manhattan, fucking appearently.

Why is Pete drawn as looking away from her in most of these panels?

That's not how you have a conversation with someone.

[nitpickrider]

DRAMAAA

[dappercat123]

He has autism and doesn’t like eye contact leave him alone.

[nitpickrider]

You know, Marvel

Having your shitty 90s redesign stand directly on top of the classic costume in the most dismissive way possible is not the flex you think it is.

I don't totally hate the updated version of the Vulture but you can really REALLY tell that this was made to sell action figures

"THE NEW VULTURE IS A GOD OF THE SKY!

And he can be yours for $9.99 from Toybiz at your local Toys R Us!"

.....

god remember when action figures only cost like $9.99?

.....

Remember when Toys R Us was a thing?

....

noooo now I've made myself sad ;-;

[nitpickrider]

Money isn't real anyways.

But my Touys are forever

[dappercat123]

I miss the middle class, I never really got to be part of it

[nitpickrider]

Why would you keep a fully functioning, human equippable version of this machine set up and plugged in?!

This is New York, motherfucker, SOMEONE'S gonna try and steal it!

Amazing Spiderman 386

[dappercat123]

Frankly I question what could possibly be an ethical application of this technology.

I guess if you can transfer life force from an animal to a human you could maybe use it to heal wounds? Although I don’t know if it can even do that or if it just reverses aging.

Still if you can just juice the life out of a pig to extend your own life that’s relatively ethical immortality. But I’m not sure if having immortality would be all that great. Actually wait that’s just mechanically induced vampirism minus the sunlight weakness, it was even established at one point that marvel vampires can subsist on animal blood they just have to fight their craving for huhsn blood but modern writers kinda forgot that and instead badgered richards invent a blood substitute

If you don’t mind sleeping during the day tooms you could just become a vampire, although I guess you’d probably be stuck looking the age you are now.

So since I gave no idea what “life force” is but know for a fact that souls exist in marvel it’s entirely plausible this machine eats souls. Somebody call dr strange to take a look at it.

[nitpickrider]

He's already halfway to Nosferatu let's not push it

[dappercat123]

Well eventually this will lead to blade putting him out of our misery

[nitpickrider]

You guys come here, in your knockoff, stolen Iron Man bootlegs.

And missed the part where the actual Iron Man would lose a month and a half of sleep trying to design armor to account for Peter.

And Tony is actually GOOD AT THIS.

Amazing Spiderman 385

[dappercat123]

Frankly when Tony mages a “buster” armor to fight other hero’s it never works, his hulk buster armor hasn’t won against the hulk once (when ironically his normal armor has at least once), Thor buster got trashed. Etc.

[nitpickrider]

God only knows what a Spider Buster would even LOOK LIKE

[dappercat123]

Presumably some of the tech from the spider-slayers with the non stick coating

If he knows about the spider tracers he could make a weapon that targets his spider-sense and overwhelmed it like we saw those alarms Peter made doing.

[nitpickrider]

...and it STILL wouldn't work, but at least it'd be a better attempt than THESE fucklechucks!

[dappercat123]

Oh no doubt, I just like thinking up hypothetical countermeasures to fictional characters lol.

No, Peter it might be a FRESH definition of murder but murder is still what it is.

The symbiote is more than a little messed up, but as the future will show, it can be taught to want to do good. Some of which you inspired in in Pete. A combination of blue and orange morality and a host of… dubious sanity just made that a lot harder to see.

But it’s a living being.

And so’s Eddie.

[nitpickrider]

I love that EDDIE is the add on here

[dappercat123]

I mean yeah between the two Eddie was the less moral of the pair lol, the symbiot couldn’t recognize what it was doing was wrong yet.

CUUUUUUUUUTE

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

@brookietf @vo-kopen Sinestro and Memphis Tennesse are gonna hang out and create the ultimate Fortnite map together O_O;

[dappercat123]

Didn’t expect a direct sonic 06 reference lol.

Why can’t the marvel/DC comics actually explore interesting concepts from Godzilla like this?

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

GET REAL WEIRD WITH IT :D

[dappercat123]

Or at least get writers who know Godzilla lore like this writer clearly knows Sonic lore!

[spockwithacat]

I don’t really have any opinion on the Odyssey movie positive of negative but can people stop pretending to have read the Odyssey when they clearly haven’t. Just saw someone complaining that it looks like the movie is going to focus on the suitor and his sons storyline while that was barely part of the book they just want to focus on Odysseus and like hello? The first few chapters don’t even have him in it. Just tell me all you know is Epic the musical.

[femalegothic]

men have such an unbelievable and unshakable victim complex.

[afurioushawk]

Wild in 2026 we're still seeing takes that the left lost young men because of "misandry", not that the right won men because it gives them an open grievance permission structure for misogyny.

We've just seen what happens when the left tries to court chuds with Graham Platner.

[afurioushawk]

It's what the Green Party and Sunrise Movement thought was best.

[afurioushawk]

Bernie, we don't want to own AI we want it GONE

I don't have an opinion on Bernie's solution but also AI isn't going anywhere so we need to just make peace with that and come up with ways to regulate it rather than going full reactionary luddite.
