Anyone else love the idea of Flash Thompson as a superhero but HATE the fact that it seems to have negatively redefined him as well??? Like. The sliding timescale screws him over not once but twice in terms of being drafted getting changed to joining the military and “I’m fighting for my country because it’s what Spider-Man would do” continues to be the worst reason they could have come up with. The whole mindset, that he’s a soldier first and a proud patriot, that we see introduced in the more recent comics feels inherently sickening to me especially since even back in the sixties he talks about all the horrors of war and watching the US kill innocent civilians?? Government lapdog Flash sits wrong with me on so many levels.

And I don’t think he’s an inherently violent person like so many writers and fans seem to believe. I’d like to point out that for all the fights he gets into, his hostility is always rooted in the fact that he’s defending others: the original Lee/Ditko run has him easily telling his classmates that he’ll protect them from supervillains and even shows concern for Peter’s safety. He runs into battles if someone he cares about is in danger, even if said person in danger is Spider-Man. He attacks Ned because he’s been an abusive husband to Betty and she doesn’t feel safe with him. 100% a mom friend when he’s not in a depressive episode. He won’t hesitate to challenge people who threaten/insult his friends, and while he was working with kids his first response was always to get them to safety. I LOVE teacher Flash, and seeing him mentor Andi was such a great thing for him. I’m glad he’s apparently stolen another kid. Flash is the one who teaches the Venom symbiote not necessarily how to love but the importance of building a healthy relationship, and it’s what the symbiote learned while bonded to Flash that allows it and Eddie Brock to start anew in the Costa run.

He’s not a soldier, he’s a defender. He’s a naturally nurturing and caring person who, in his own words, “protects his own”. Just because it got buried under trauma and unhealthy coping mechanisms from an insanely young age doesn’t mean it isn’t true. Equally sick of the “Flash Thompson is a ruthless bully” and “Flash Thompson is a bootlicker” propaganda both the fandom and Marvel itself spread. Where is the “Flash Thompson deserves a break from Peter and Eddie’s bullshit because he’s clearly the only thing able to hold their lives together” crowd. Savage Avengers better have him on vacation with his kids before he gets caught up in whatever is happening this time around.

Here’s a thing that happened to one of my friends. I was there.

Basically, we were walking down the sidewalk, talking about something meaningless. I think it had to do with a movie. Then this bus screeches up, stops next to us, and a bunch of people with “Down with Cis” shirts climbed out and started beating him up. I was punched and kicked a bit too, but I managed to avoid brutalization by going for their faces. After figuring out what’s happening, I started attacking them back, getting them off of him. He was quite injured but I called 911 and he made a full recovery at the hospital. I was fine, with only a cut on my arm that they patched up.
