#so he has to become spidey and fight the guys off

[marsbotz]

Omg spider man I love spider man so fucking much like he is the best super hero cause they don’t make him sauve or Mr morally superior. He’s just some dude tm and he does whacky stuff a teen-young adult does. He makes puns and punches people in the freakin face and has genuine reactions a guy his age and experience should. I agree that spectacular spider man is one of the best spidey shows but I have to point out that he’s one of the best peters. I could go on but web slinger make brain go brrrrrr

YOURE SO RIGHT FOR THIS yeah spectacular is SO GOOD. best spidey best peter best storyline EVER. im crying forever that it got cancelled

part 2. || part 1.

masterlist.

warnings : angst, mentions of violence, swearing, lots of self-doubt (peter im sorry)

word count : 2.7k

summary : There’s always two sides to a story. An apology is put into place.

Peter felt like he was living three different lives at once.

Each taking so, so much energy every single day.

His job, an assistant for Dr. Octavius at Octavius Industries. He felt guilty for arriving late every day, and still somehow having a job.

Peter was smarter than Doc, they both knew that. So that meant he would be called to office very, very often.

Usually because of some mistake Doc had made while working on the new prototypes of prosthetic limbs.

But the pressure it brought could get to be too much sometimes. One small mistake could cost millions of lives — or dollars — if not noticed early enough.

But he knew it would help the world someday, in so many ways. The exhaustion was totally worth it.

Spider-Man. Peter had loved and genuinely enjoyed playing his alter-ego.

Constantly, day and night, he was out. Out saving people everywhere. Sure, his work wasn’t appreciated by everyone but it was 100% worth it — to him.

But Spider-Man came with considerable costs. His everlasting lack of sleep. Peter can’t remember the last time he really got his 8 hours. The bags under his eyes made that apparent enough.

The physicality of the job, how many times had he stopped a car with his bare hands? He lost count years ago.

The bruises, cuts, broken limbs, brought immense pain, even to Spider-Man. Sure, he can heal faster — a nights rest, a heating pad, and your some soup is more than enough — But that doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt.

And the emotional weight it brought.

The crimes haven’t slowed, if anything they’ve gotten much more prominent all around the city.

The overwhelming amount of times he has to swing across New York to fight off large groups of thugs has become too much.

And honestly, he’s so sick of it.

And so, Peter stopped pulling his punches as much.

The guilt didn’t come until later.

He climbed through your apartment’s window after a long, long night of patrol.

You were sitting there — unaware of his presence— watching TV, all cuddled up on the corner of the couch with your mini Spidey plush.

“Hey, beautiful.” He called out to you.

“Holy shit-” You jumped and turned around to look at him. “You can’t just pop out of nowhere like that, you scared the hell out of me.”

You got up and walked towards him, “Was patrol okay?”

“Uh, yeah it was alright, kicked my ass tonight though. I’m worn out,” He stretched his arms above his head.

“Hm. Why?” You raised an eyebrow at him.

“Uhm, I mean I fought bad guys all night?” He scoffed, a stupid question, he thought.

“Or was it because you practically killed someone tonight?” You bluntly said.

You had taken a step away from him, like he was a danger to you too.

“They were a criminal!” He shrugged.

“Why does that matter? You can’t just completely take someone’s life away. That’s not who you are. Before you say you didn’t, you came real close to.” You stood your position.

It felt like you shot him straight in the heart.

He should’ve listened to you. But instead, he took a shot right back at you, a shot to kill.

“Again, they’re criminals. I’m sorry I had to calm things down somehow. I’m sorry I needed to do something to catch a break for once in my damn life. And you’re not exactly helping that.” He looked away from you. He felt ashamed.

You were right, he knew that, even then. But his pride couldn’t let him admit it.

“What is wrong with you? You love Spider-Man. And you always talk about how killing sickens you. You’ve changed, Peter.” You spat back at him.

He should’ve just ended it there, stopped the excessive violence, stopped the fight. Maybe then he wouldn’t have been in your kitchen on that faithful Tuesday.

It had been two days since that argument.

His almost perfect rep was officially ruined (Jameson had a field trip that day, too). The stress was at an all-time high.

He almost couldn’t handle it. He didn’t want to anymore.

He was still so angry at you for being right. Because you always were.

You were the one who kept him balanced, who took care of him no matter the time of day or night.

He hadn’t been back to your apartment since the fight, either.

But he would return to it after a tough night the day after. And the next.

And you forgave him, so fast (He took you to see the Barbie movie, paid for every snack and drink you could’ve wanted. It was indisputable on your end). The guilt from what Peter’s put you through has just stacked on and on.

Now he really couldn’t handle it anymore. 

And so, there he was. Sat atop a random rooftop rethinking everything.

He debated his life. His three lives, more like. Which parts were worth it, and which weren’t. (It was really fucked up, who measures parts of their life in worth and just decides which to throw away?)

He couldn’t lose his job, how would he make money?

He couldn’t stop being Spider-Man, he knew that.

And there was you. The biggest and undoubtedly the most important part.

But you were also easy to throw away, he thought.

So much stress and time would be lifted off of his shoulders.

(Little did he know, it would be the complete opposite. His injuries didn’t heal all the way like they did when you took care of him. Every time he was hurt, it would linger for days at a time. He missed how much you’d worried for him. He really took you for granted.)

And so, he decided in the next couple of weeks, he would break it off.

And he did. On the Tuesday the following week.

He looks back on it — to this day — and realized everything he had said to you that evening, wasn’t directed at you. It was directed at himself.

Of course he enjoyed loving you. He didn’t enjoy being himself was what.

He needed to be his best for you because he couldn’t be with anything else. He failed at being the friendly and reliable Spider-man. Him and Doc didn’t get the grant they’d been needing for so long.

And when he did try to improve when you called him out that night, it just wasn’t enough.

He didn’t deserve you.

He took everything out on you, he didn’t mean a word he said. But you didn’t know that.

Peter never had an outlet to take anything out. He couldn’t leave you with every burden of his life, Doc and him weren’t that close, and May couldn’t know he was Spider-Man.

He snapped that Tuesday.

And there’s nothing more that he regrets in his entire life.

But he couldn’t burden you anymore. He wouldn’t.

He did nothing but keep you up late at night, hurt your feelings, and make you do everything for him.

Peter loved you. And he couldn’t let himself torture you like this.

So he forced himself to let you go. You would move on, anyways. He couldn’t.

He listened to every single one of the voicemails you sent.

Every. Single. One. He’s never heard you sound so down (Because of him, nonetheless).

It took so much out of him to not respond. More than what he had to give.

And after five weeks, he finally caved.

He texted you.

9:52 PM

Hey, beautiful.

You wouldn’t forgive him quick this time, he knew that. This time wasn’t just some fight. He tore your heart apart.

But he would work for your forgiveness, he swore to himself, God as his witness.

You read the message immediately. He knew you had gotten off of work, so it wasn’t completely abnormal.

But you didn’t respond. He checked his phone all night and the next morning (He was desperate for something, even if it was an angry text. He hated nothing more than you ignoring him).

So he texted you again. He just went straight for it this time, no holding back anymore.

1:16 PM

Can we meet up?? I think we can agree there’s still some loose ends we need to revisit, together.

Read 1:18 PM

He was patient this time. He tried stepping in your shoes, and it broke his heart. He couldn’t imagine you snapping on him like he had.

He couldn’t live if you were angry at him like he was at you. And if you weren’t going to respond again he was debating on just showing up to your apartment. Can’t ignore him that way.

2:12 PM

Y/N 💞 : “Loose ends” is a funny term. You mean when you randomly showed up to my apartment and broke up with me for the stupidest reason?

He cringed. This was a dumb decision.

2:12 PM

I know, trust me. I just want to talk. And explain myself.

Explain my biggest mistake. I’ve never regretted anything more than leaving you and taking the anger at myself onto you.

He debated on sending the message, but he didn’t.

You would just see it as him trying kiss your ass into forgiving him. It worked before.

2:14 PM

Y/N 💞 : Peter, why? Why are you only just know texting me? Why are you trying to meet up when you tore my heart into pieces? Why are you seeking forgiveness randomly?

Why are you asking such hard questions, he wanted to ask.

2:14 PM

Idk, I miss you?

I miss you and still love you. I regret that night so much.

Can you just hear me out? Please?

Nothing sounded right. But he just went for it, again. At this point, he was pacing across his rooftop, anxious for your response (If you even gave him one).

2:15 PM

Y/N 💞 : Peter, I swear. If you make me regret this, I’ll come for you. Worse than any enemy you’ve ever faced and ever will.

He laughed at that one. You wouldn’t —right?—

2:15 PM

I won’t, Y/N. I promise. Tomorrow, Micks at 3?

Read 2:16 PM

You left him on read, but he counted that as a success — you didn’t refuse his offer so.. —

He would come back from this. He has to.

Peter was late. Fuck him.

Why did you even give him your time of day anymore? This man could tear you apart and you still gave into his words.

3:13 PM

Peter 🕸️ : Babt, I’mso sotry. I got caugjt up with worl, I’m bloxks away I sqaer.

You could barely understand him, but you were used to his usually proper grammar slipping while he was swinging.

How dare he? How dare he beg you to come out here and he gets to show up late??

He practically busted the restaurant’s door open. He rushed to your table.

“Baby I-”

“No,” You interrupted. “You don’t get to call me that. Fuck you, asshole. You ask me to meet you and you show up late? Are you kidding me?” You crossed your arms and stood up from the booth you were sitting at.

“Y/N, I’m so, so sorry. I got caught up with Doc at work. Huuge internal wiring problem. I don’t even understand how he could’ve messed it up so badly,” He talked with his hands, he was so cute when he did that.

You took a step towards him, and slapped the shit out of his stupidly attractive face.

“You don’t get to break me and show up late when you wanted me here.” The tears were back. You were livid. You shoved your finger into his face as you scolded him.

“I know, I know. I keep fucking up and I’m sorry. Lets just sit down and let me explain everything. I promise you, it’s worth it.” He put his hands on both of your shoulders to keep you from leaving and tried to calm you down.

“Hands off,” You pulled his hands away from your shoulder and slumped back into the booth.

You wanted to go home.

“Okay, okay.” He sat down and stared at you.

“Well?” You waited, “Let’s hear this explanation,” You rolled your eyes.

“Well, uh-” He paused for a moment, “I don’t know how to start.”

You waited for him to continue, arms still crossed. You really didn’t want to hear him out.

“Do you remember when I almost beat the life outta that guy? Like a month ago or something?” He asked.

“Yeah.” You rolled your eyes again, not exactly a good moment to bring up.

“I feel like that’s where it started,”

“Mhm..” You nodded for him to keep going.

“I started slipping. I stopped pulling my punches and I was so stressed out every moment of my life. A-and one day I just got so sick of it,” He started choking up, you almost felt bad for him.

“So I sat down and tried to organize my life. I wanted to rid myself of stress and try to free up time for myself in order to y’know, rejuvenate.”

You sat there, you were expecting plain excuses. But it seemed he had something real going here.

“I couldn’t rid myself of my job — how else would I be able to live? — and obviously Spider-Man isn’t a choice. And there came you. The best and biggest part of my life.”

You raised an eyebrow, waiting for him to continue.

“I was stupid, I thought that by taking a break, I’d feel more free. And feel more.. well less stressed out. If I had something to myself then I would be better and feel okay? I don’t know.”

You narrowed your eyes at him.

“Don’t look at me like that, please. I was so overwhelmed with everything. I’ve been so behind on rent, and crime just never stops around here. Its like it raises more and more every week.”

“I thought-” He took a deep breath, “I thought that if I had one less chore — trust me you are not a chore to me — life would get easier.”

You’re guessing he tried to rephrase his words he said before, he’s almost repeating himself.

“But it didn’t. At all. I was in pain all the time — emotionally and physically — it didn’t help at all. I said I didn’t enjoy loving you. I lied. I didn’t enjoy loving myself- or being me.”

Your heart clenched for him. He hurt you so bad, but hearing how he truly felt made you slightly reconsider things.

“I didn’t enjoy the stress of my life, and I don’t have any outlet for my anger. And you forgave me so easily the last time we fought. And I guess I took advantage of that. I took all of the hate I had for myself onto you. I think that will forever be my biggest mistake.”

Your eyebrows scrunched.

“I love you. So much, Y/N. More than words can describe. I’ve never regretted anything more in my life and I can’t ever be away from you, again.”

“I broke it off thinking it would cause me less stress, but I understand now that it was you who took the pressure away. Being away from you, Y/N,” He laughed (At his own pain, seemingly). “I’ve never felt shittier in my life.”

Your tears flowed. Your expectations were well exceeded. He’s fucked up so much, but he makes up for it every time. And this time, it wasn’t done by kissing your ass and spoiling you, you recognized that.

“I can’t explain how sorry I am. I regret what I did to you that night so much. More than anything in the world. I just hope you can understand that.”

“I hope you can understand me.” He kept eye contact, his eyes were watery. “I know how complicated I can get,” He let out a breathy laugh.

“Pete.” You just about whispered his name.

“Yeah..?” He wiped his eyes on his sleeve before answering you.

“I forgive you.” You smiled, still crying from his well thought out (you had to give him credit) apology.

“Wait- Really?”

“Yeah. I do.”

He stood up and hugged you from across the table.

“But..”

“But..?” He repeated you, curiously. He let go of the hug to look you in the eyes.

“You’re gonna have to pay for the meal if you really want me back.”

He laughed.

“I love you.”

He grabbed your cheeks and pulled you in for a kiss. He’s never kissed you so hard.

Stunned, but pleasantly surprised, you sat there for a moment. Unsure of whether you should kiss him or not.

But you grabbed his collar and melted into the kiss.

No matter how hard he had broken you, his words brought you back to him.

And you wouldn’t regret it, you knew that.

part 2 is finished 🥹

just wanna explain a few things just in case:

peter is a lil ooc w the excessive violence and it’s not him to be like that but i feel like every body gets to that point where everything can be just too much. even spider-man.

i also feel like he needs a healthy outlet for his feelings, being spiderman, he’s constantly busy. not exactly easy to make friends. but also being spiderman, he doesn’t wanna leave y/n with all of his problems, he’s supposed to be the hero. so he bottles it all up. to the point where he just burst one day and took it out on her. (not good!!)

also i felt like him being a man, he’s going to feel insecure if y/n’s the one taking care of him all the time. he’s the man, it’s supposed to be the other way around, but it’s not. and that’s okay!! often times, old traditions still lies deep within all of us. men’s mental health matters too!! men can still feel insecure!! EVERYONE DOES. but that doesn’t mean we (as people) can take out our insecurities or anger at ourselves onto other people. most times, they don’t deserve the hate we bring onto ourselves.

that being said, not everyone can be perfect. (peter is a great example) we’re all going through something in life and are constantly being tested. but, the biggest thing is to always persevere no matter what. you’re never going to have more on your plate than you can handle. if you’re struggling, always remember to reach out to someone. a loved one, a professional, or even me. my dms are always open. i love you all. 🩷

anyways,

likes, reblogs, and comments are always appreciated!!

i hope you all enjoyed this story as much as i liked writing it 💗💗

How's about HL boys reacting to finding out male!MC is Spiderman?

bro this was SUCH a cute and fun request, tysm. it made my childhood marvel heart very happy and I just had a blast writing it 😂❤️💙🖤

there's some references in here 👀

Sebastian:

Bro is flabbergasted 

Not only is Spider-Man cool–but now Spider-Man is cool AND his best friend. 

He immediately asks a million questions but they aren’t accusatory, he’s just so stoked and super excited. His nerdy little heart is absolutely soaring right now. 

And if he got his way, MC would be up all night answering his questions.

Of course, he quickly becomes the “guy in the chair” so to speak and he’s basically MC’s right-hand man. 

Occasionally he convinces MC to let him tag along and see the chaos action firsthand. 

Obviously, he strongly cares about MC’s safety as well. Fighting bad guys all day is tiring and extremely dangerous. 

But I mean, this is MC we’re talkin’ about. He’ll be completely fine. 

Ominis: 

To be honest, he kind of already knew. 

Or he at least knew SOMETHING was up. 

Just like how MC has spidey sense, Ominis has his own sense, so to speak. AKA knowing when his friends are out doing something stupid. 

So, “Mom-friend” senses, basically. 

At first, he’s pretty concerned. I mean, he’s heard about all of the crazy things Spider-man does and to know that it's MC, it’s a little worrying. 

But all goes well and really, Ominis is just super proud of MC for what he’s doing. Ominis has always had a strong sense of morality and believes that you should try and help those who can’t help themselves. 

It was just great to know that someone else was trying hard to do the same thing. 

Garreth: 

You think Sebastian was surprised? Wait until you hear about Garreth. 

He found out completely by accident. He came over to hang out and suddenly MC was crawling through the window in a Spider-Man suit. 

CRAWLING THROUGH THE WINDOW IN A SPIDER-MAN SUIT!!

RIP the Lego Death star

He almost screamed, to be honest. He hates spiders. (also he had no idea who was literally crawling THROUGH THE WINDOW!!) 

But then MC rips off his mask and tries to calm him down before he grabs the attention of the people downstairs. 

A billion questions, honestly. Garreth would not shut up. But he was just so curious!! 

To be honest, he thinks MC is more brave for getting bit by a spider and not freaking out than going and fighting bad guys. 

Because obviously spiders = worse than bad guys. 

Weasley logic. 

Leander:

He thought it was a prank at first, honestly. 

Like a really elaborate, well-thought-out, somehow MC managed to crawl on the walls kind of prank. 

Then he realized he was absolutely being an idiot for thinking that this could be some sort of a prank and then he kinda freaked out. 

I meannn, Spider-Man is kinda his idol, you know?? 

And the fact that he knows MC personally? Wow. That’s the kind of stuff he’d write in his diary about. 

He always wants to hear about what MC is doing out there in the suit. Sometimes he forgets to be concerned because he thinks it's just so cool. 

He's a fanboy fr

Amit:

Terribly worried at first, nerdy about it later. 

MC accidentally practically scared Amit’s skeleton out of his skin when he came crawling in on the ceiling. 

MC’s defense was “It’s fun” as Amit was quite literally clutching his chest and hyperventilating. 

After the initial scare, he asked so many questions. And once he was sure MC was completely safe, then the nerdy questions started rolling in. 

Who modified the spider that bit MC? What abilities and powers did MC have now?? 

Then after MC is like “Uhh I have no idea it was a random spider” of course, Amit has to investigate this himself. 

He finds all of the info overnight, basically, and helps MC reach his full potential. 

Best boy ever tbh.

I’m dreading the third game of Spiderman might kill off Harry :/ either he’s goblin (solo or probably along with daddy-o) and dies a la Hero Sacrifice. Or kept comatose and in the end with grim results the decision is to pull the plug on him. idk I feel Harry’s fate is doom and gloom. But they could have killed Harry at the end of this sequel giving a strong motivation for Norman to be the Goblin and hatred for Spider-Man…yet they didn’t. idk rambling thoughts. What do you think?

Personally i can see both options. I saw someone in the tags of my last headcanon post say that it wouldnt make sense to save him from death in this game only to kill him in the next. On some level i get that, why wait when you could do it now?

I have two worst case scenarios in my head:

Harry wakes up from his coma w amnesia a la the third Tobey Maguire movie. Hes unaware of Pete being Spider-Man and Peter, thinking hes protecting Harry, wont tell him. This may cause a rift in their friendship when Harry finds out - or if Norman ends up going goblin and dies - Spider-Man is to blame in Harrys eyes and he'll go after him then. To me this is a tired trope of Harry getting an intense hatred for Spidey and wanting to kill him over his father. It always felt out of character for me and i truly TRULY hope they dont go this route.

Harry becomes the Kobold. In the comics, Kobold is essentially Harrys way of making the Green Goblin a good guy. If he still wants to fight by Peters side, he'll find a way to do it. Kobold would make a lot of sense to me personally, as it kind of continues their dynamic from this game. Then at the end theres a heros sacrifice to be made and Harry goes for it despite Peters protests. This would be lazy to me too though because he essential already did the heros sacrifice in this game. Seems like theyd just want us to have more time with him to love him even more, just to make losing him hurt worse. I wouldn't put it past an intrepid writer to think they could make it work, but it just seems lazy to me.

Actual best case scenario for me though? Harry wakes up as the g-serum is being injected. Hes against being his dads experiment all over again so he runs and finds Peter. Hes not aware of his pseudo-retirement, he just goes straight to the place thats always been his safe haven; Peters home. He asks Peter to hide him from his dad. Tries to explain everything but hes exhausted and frantic. Peter agrees and they take him into hiding.

Norman, ever the expert deflector, doesnt see this as a failing on his part. Hes convinced spider-man had something to do with his son escaping so he puts out a hit on him. Hes ready, willing, and able to capture and kill at least one of the two spider-men it doesnt matter. We see him pardon Wilson Fisk for this job, and when Fisk cant do it, he has to. Normans going to go Goblin. I know it, i can feel it in my bones.

Miles asks Peter to get back in action and he does. Fisk, plus potentially Otto again, plus this brand new villain in town is too much for any one person to handle. Heres where i see Harry becoming a "Guy In The Chair" for Peter like Ganke is for Miles. Two Guys in the Chair helping the spider-men is definitely better than one. I could also see Harrys goblin powers start to emerge but he keeps pushing them down. Last time he gave into power it didnt end well for anyone.

In an effort to not write out the entire plot of the game as i see fit (because itd be long and there are so many moving pieces and characters and IDEK WHERE THEYRE GONNA PUT SILK IN-), i think if Harry does take on the cowl he'll be doing so against his father. I think i see Harry becoming Goblin/Kobold to fight against Norman and ultimately try to help Peter/Miles. This is where i see Harry either accidentally killing Norman or Norman killing his son (and of course, blaming Spider-Man)

There is also room, in my mind, to bring back Venom a la Lethal Protector/Agent Venom. But tbh if they do, i would much rather Venom go to Eddie Brock or Flash Thompson. But thats just the separate Venom Fangirl Entity within me.

Ultimately my hope of course is that Harry not die and they dont go down that all too tired and hackneyed trope of Harry growing to hate Peter dor whatever reason. I truly TRULY hope they dont go that route it is just SO tired and lazy. I want them to stay close and loving. Whatever route they go with will be SO MUCH MORE IMPACTFUL if Harry Osborn lives and doesnt make a full 180 on his best friend for no good reason.

Before i forget again,here's the Flowerghost(Jason Todd and Miles Morales)parallels + They are BROTHERS and Jason's a canon pedophile killer so fuck off if you ship him with canon minors

Black and red-coded

Genius'

Nerdy interests(classical literature for Jason,anime for Miles and video games for both)

Caused great controversy for taking over longheld mantles because of being minorities(Jason poor,Miles afrolatino)but are now widely beloved

Mama's boys and the mom's in question have brown hair and a deep grip on their cultures in a positive way when the writers aren't being ass

Can't flirt but have big rizz

Type in women is woc(Gwen is Miles' only white girl one and to me she acts more black mixed than anything else and imma do my own thing like Miles and say she's canon afrolatina + Jason's never shown interest in white girls fullstop and actively rejected Kory specifically because they deblackified her)

Poor social skills

Very similar sense of humor

The guy they're closest to is a black troubled kid who grew up in a dystopia but only let that make him kind and optimistic,an instigator and a freedom fighter on a team that all share a title(Duke and Hobie).Do not come at me with 'Hobie is Miles' older brother' bs though,that's Jason's job and Hobie is Miles' boygirlfriend

And the other person they're closest to is a black biracial girl with a ghost motif and abusive dad who's also a pastel punk,very sweet and tender but also has anger issues and no hesitance to get brutal in fights and is their counterpart yet also their foil(Stephanie and Gwen + Imma also do my own thing with Stephanie because people think she actually takes pride in being blonde for some reason + This is reverse of the above because i'm a Ghostflower lover and a J*ysteph hater out of reading comprehension)

Eh,i'm gonna say it-They're both afro-caribbean and nonblacks and gringos can't stop me since they love lying about Jason's canon traits but get upset when comics readers tell the truth about him and my take actually makes a lot of sense with him unlike theirs and i've got like every fellow afrolatino DC fan agreeing with me on it anyway

Autistic,adhd and anxiety-coded with trans swag that can be read in any direction

When they were 15,they went to a far off place to find themselves thanks to an important woman in their lives only for it to turn out she was betraying him and this caused a major shift in their narrative-Although Miles was lucky enough to have his be with good intentions while Jason's very much did not

Robin!Jason was a soft ray of sunshine boy like Miles is and Miles G is a goth asshole and a vigilante to cope with trauma like Red Hood!Jason is.He even has green eyes like he does which is very interesting and fitting difference

If we're being specific with Eras:Into=80s Batman,Across=A Death in The Family,Miles G becoming The Prowler=Lost Days,Beyond=Under The Red Hood and Spidey and His Amazing Friends=Wayne Family Adventures(but good)

Not quite the same thing but their animal variants are a cat and a dog so they match

part one of my obsession with Spidey Steve

Modern au Spidey Steve where the Hawkins gang live in NY and Steve gets bit in high school which becomes the catalyst to his good guy redemption arc along with his brutal break-up with one Nancy Wheeler. Accidentally adopts Dustin and the Party when he helps rescue Mews from a ridiculously tall tree.

He ignores his powers and tries his best to hide them until one fateful night he's in charge of closing Scoops with his mean lesbian co-worker who absolutely hates his guts. One attempted armed robbery and two concussed assailants later he's gained a platonic soulmate, the only other human on earth who knows his secret.

With Robin's help Steve experiments with his superpowers and Robin pushes the Spider-man agenda (although Steve thinks webs are a little too on the nose) and makes him functioning webs he can swing with (he'll never admit it to her but swinging quickly becomes one of his favourite things to do ever).

Dustin finds out when he breaks into Steve's room one night to show him Cerebro but promptly drops the entire duffle bag when Steve comes crawling through the window, sticking to the ceiling in full Spider-man garb. Appoints himself communications and gadgets specialists once he gets over the initial shock. Steve's vigilante alter ego slowly gains popularity in Queens.

He gets cut-off after almost failing high school but still has the keys to the big ass apartment he grew up in and a full-time job at a movie theatre with Robin. Steve drives the Party home after late night DnD sessions with the weirdly intimidating, hot super senior (he's already had his bi crisis/awakening/whateverthefuck so he has no problem admitting it), has movie nights and sleepovers with Robin, even makes it up to Nancy for his assholery. He thinks he's doing alright, atoning for his bitchy persona in high school, fighting crime and being a (moderate)standing member of society.

But Eddie Munson, president of the DnD club, protector of lost sheep, doesn't trust hot or rich guys. And Steve Harrington is both. He doesn't understand how King Steve has the loyalties of the coolest lesbian, half his own goddamn club, his valedictorian ex-girlfriend and said ex-girlfriend's current boyfriend.

Gareth says his mistrust is actually just misplaced frustration of his sexual attraction but hey, what does his best friend of thirteen years know about him, right? He stands, arms-crossed at the doorway, just watching every time Steve comes to pick up the gremlins. Sometimes he gives Eddie an awkward wave from the drivers seat. Eddie never responds.

Harrington might’ve fooled everyone around him, but not Eddie. He's onto Steve Harrington and he's going to get to the bottom of this new found persona of his.

The angst wheel has spared us today.. Daily Hobie HC! Get on your gear peoples we're going zombie apocalypse mode >:) I feel like Hobie's 'role' is pretty adaptable in the zombie apocalypse. If you're more of a fighter, he'll scavenge. If you're more of a scavenger, he'll fight. Hobie's definitely crafty with weapons too, for both defense and offense. No doubt he's definitely saved your ass more than both of you guys can count (and vice versa) He's even made some firm earmuffs for the two of you, since guns are definitely needed to defend both of you guys in a zombie apocalypse. Even when you guys aren't scavenging for materials or on patrol, both of you spend some quality time with each other with a few playfights, where Hobie usually ends it by (unfairly) throwing you over his shoulder with a smug smirk, marching around the place as you laugh and try squirm out of his grip. He'll put you down on the bed and simply just lay on your chest as you lightheartedly groan and roll your eyes, knowing his lips are stretched out in the biggest, most shit-eating grin. Hobie will dramatically announce that you've 'died, bein' eaten by the zombies outside', before burying his face into the crook of your neck and blowing raspberries against your skin, always successfully making you (try to) pry him off with a loud laugh. And even while the world tears itself apart outside, you both are in the bunker, cuddling up to each other under the warmth of a blanket, one earbud in your ear, and the other one in his, simply listening to music together. Tied by the chord, and arms wrapped around one another. In any situation or dimension, Hobie's your other half. Your love. Your partner in general and in crime. Especially if he still has his spidey powers. Imagine him swinging the both of you up to an abandoned building, overlooking a zombie horde below. The apartment building would have good loot, but in order to take the contents, the zombies must be terminated. A sufficient plan is never far from Hobie's mind, especially in situations like these. He'll go for the outside mob, while you'll terminate the inside of the building. Before both of you part ways to execute the plan, he presses his lips to yours lovingly. After all, you never know which kiss with your lover would be your last. Returning in one piece after a successful hunt is the best feeling of relief felt in the zombie apocalypse. After you both get rid of your gears and weapons, it's immediately collapsing into each other for cuddles, forever grateful that you get to see each other live another day. What if the bunker is actually Hobie's boathouse What if someone got bit... angst >:) -🐦‍⬛

Whew! No angst today 😄

DAILY HOBIE HC!! (Zombie apocalypse au edition!)

Oh yeah he's def an all around guy, like you're injured? And you've got a bad leg? He's got you, hell he'll carry you if he has too. Hungry, but can't fish for shit? Babes, watch him become an expert fisherman just for u

He would so excel at fighting too! Imagine him teaching you how to fight and defend yourself from both zombies and humans (which may or may not always end up with cuddles right after. He says it's to help with your aching muscles and you highly doubt that. But who are you to refuse a cuddle?)

A zombie apocalypse while Hobie has his spidey powers? Your chances of survival has increased dramatically

He would so pretend to bite you while play fighting!!! He'd be like "'m sorry, love, but we have to cut it off" after he has 'bitten' your neck 😂😂😂

The houseboat being their safehouse is genius!! Zombies can't float or swim so that's perf!

NO NO ONE'S GETTING BIT NUH UH

[orpheusilver]

I am asking about your spiderverse dimension 🎤

yippeeeee okay id better explain what exactly im trying to write here lmao so like. this whole au was originally just an experiment in mapping the spider-person story onto a morbius variant as a joke bc i liked the idea of him being like "i was straight up bitten by a radioactive animal and started doing vigilante crime fighting can you please let me into the multiverse" and miguel going "NO youre literally a villain How did you get this number" but then it kinda spiralled and now theres like themes n shit

so long story short morgan michaels gets bitten by a radioactive vampire bat on a uni trip and wakes up with some weird mutations but doesnt really take much notice, he just goes about his day as normally as he can until he Fucking exsanguinates someone to Death. and takes it Badly. so then while hes trying to cope with that and adjust to the whole "vampire(?) thing" like. finding a non-homicidal way to get blood. he encounters spider-man and goes Hey! You know what would make me feel less shit about that whole murder thing? Doing that!

so he pisses off to try become a superhero and accidentally gets stuck with the name morbius, fucks around w/ doc ock and almost finds out until spidey saves his ass and morbius goes Hey. Im bad at this. Youre good at this. Can i be your sidekick until i figure out what the fuck im doing? and peter goes Hhhhhmmmmm bc He knows morbius is a villain. hes wearing one of them watches hes all caught up on how his canon works. but maybe this one is different..maybe he can fix him.....as in hes literally floating there in front of him asking to be fixed. so he says Yeah okay ill make sure you dont get yourself killed probably

so theyre doing the whole superhero mentor thing for a while, morgan learns and grows amd theres some cool contrasting moments where he handles shit completely differently than spider-man would and changes the trajectory of some established arcs, until eventually hes off doing basic superhero stuff all on his own and goes Hey that guy doesnt have a pulse. Thats kinda weird. so he tracks the guy to this weird secret rave in a factory basement with all these other dead people and at one point they turn on the sprinkler and its full of human blood? which hes so normal about ofc (<- the lying liar) and then this COOL GUY with a COOL JACKET and a COOL SWORD shows up and starts annihilating everyone and morbius goes Whoa cool! and then this guy tries to kill Him and he goes HEY WAIT IM LITERALLY ALIVE and blade goes Thats fucking weird cause youre definitely a vampire so whats your deal. Come with me so i can figure out what your deal is. so then morbius meets blades cool hematologist friend and cool butch biker mom and finds out abt Actual vampires which, it turns out, he definitely isnt hes something else which just seems similar bc [INSERT COMIC-TYPICAL MUTATION BULLSHIT]

they both get tied up in plot stuff and even though it takes a loooong moment for blade to trust him theyre actually a pretty good team, morbius is used to spider-man treating him like a student and, implicitly, a child so its neat that blade treats him like an Equal (albeit an annoying inexperienced equal w/ bad jokes and a worse costume but still) and turns out they actually have a lot in common? and kinda bond really easily? and maybe this whole "edgy-hero-who-kills-things" deal is working wayyyy better for him than the spandexed paragon thing spider-man has going on and that guy is super out of his depth in these circumstances and needs to stop pushing in assuming he knows best just bc hes a """hero""" and actually hes maybe being a total uptight prick about the no murder thing and who died and made him king of new york anyway?? fuck off spider-man i have a cool new friend who Gets Me and will absolutely definitely never judge me for killing someone or succumbing to bloodlust which is definitely totally 100% true and Not a fundamental misinterpretation that will come back to bite me in the ass.

[tr4panrot]

sooo I watched spiderverse again, this time english with subtitles

AND I HAVE SO MANY THOUGHTS ABOUT GWEN'S WORLD

clear content warning for spoilers for atsv below the cut

so like at the beginning you can see how distant she feels to her world by the colours, while everything is bright and cheerful, she instead is dark with blue to green tones.

in the first scenes, her bandmates are different shades of orange and yellow, blending in with the warm redish orange background, Gwen stands out, she's blue.

(I forgot the thoughts I had about the city scene before she got home, so I'm blank here)

When she gets home, his dad and the house are the same colours and she once again stands out but then she's in her room, that's when she blends it, it's truly her area, where she feels the safest and most comfortable; then her dad walks in, he's vibrant orange, he stands out against his daughter's dark colours, showing how misunderstood Gwen feels by her dad and his feelings of catching spiderwoman; as such, this goes on until they hug, there the colours blend, blue and orange blend and so do Gwen and her dad, it goes to show she feels safe with that hug, even with the situation going on, she stills believes in her relationship with her dad.

and then, she's spiderwoman, she stops being Gwen and becomes your friendly neighborhood spidey, blending once again with the world around her.

the standing out comes back after the fight with paper guy. Her dad is pointing a gun at her and she stands out, even as spiderwoman, she's once again Gwen, the girl who's misunderstood and doesn't blend in with the others.

and she pulls off her mask, her whole world starts melting, the life she knew was no longer there, it's falling apart right before her eyes, and her dad's world does too.

then she's trying to explain and now it's her situation, she's talking, she's blending in and her dad is standing out, the roles change, now he's not listening, not comprehending and not blending in with the new reality presented by his daughter.

and now there's the big jump, when she comes back.

Gwen comes back vibrant, orange, she now stands out, she feels more comfortable, like she has found HER place and her own world is no longer truly hers, neither Gwen nor Spiderwoman blends in with the city as they now are apart of another world, the spider society, or were at least.

and when she comes back home, her room is still her room but when the lights are turned on, she blends while her dad doesn't, her dad is now the one suffering, he's blue while she's orange.

and the rest of the house is too.

And this goes on until the speech, where they both start off with new colours, they now have a new "reality", their new world.

AND THOSE ARE MY VRY NEURODIVERGENT THOUGHTS, THANK YOU FOR COMING TO MY TED TALK

Spider-Man Read-Through 044: Peter's Graduation (ASM 181-186, Ann 12)

MASTERPOST

Len Wein's run finished with an astounding Green Goblin story, what will Marv Wolfman bring to the table?

Oh wow, we're not wasting time, huh!

I also know some little kitten is coming soon...

Our story begins a grave. Uncle Ben's grave!

And what a striking first page. Beautiful colors, smart positioning for the artists, overall really impressive beginning.

This issue is just a recollection of how our hero came to be, with a subtle retcon of Harry Osborn existing back when Peter was in high school. There's an entire page about Jameson's various ways to attack him--he really tried his best! The issue features really nice art, and there's a page where it recounts Spidey's foes... including Will O'The Wisps and Stegron. Uh, sure. Not gonna let me forget the latter now, are we?

My boy the Prowler also gets a cameo, which is quite lovely.

At the end, a penniless father steals Peter's old microscope he just dropped to Ben's grave. That's another kid who'll be happy!

#182 time!

Marv Wolfman's first tenure is to bring beloved supervillain Rocket Racer. Huh! Paying respect to your predecessor, I can appreciate that.

More importantly, this issue starts with one of these panels that Ross Andru seems to love and that, for me, have come to define his tenure:

Mindbending perspectives.

And you know what?

I think Ross Andru loves Rocket Racer, because their chase gives him the occasion to have fun angles and draw specific buildings, and i'm sure it was pretty much Christmas in his head, hahaha. Good for him!

So Spidey loses RR, who blackmails his employer who wants incriminating evidence against himself to make it disappear.

First off: those angles in the first three panels are a rare kind of thing, I feel! And secondly: Hmm, who might that be? A small, thin figure... I'm intrigued!

At the hospital, May tells Peter that married life is really cool. Uh-oh... Are we going to get a proposal, folks?

I didn't notice that right away, to be fair. It's MJ who lampshades it as they leave the room, and she's even about to say she's sad she doesn't have anyone like that (at least, before she gets cut off: where's Anna in all this?) when Peter, who doesn't care in the slightest, has a bad feeling. Doesn't notice anything though, although we definitely see some focus on a character...

Later, the blackmailed guy tries to end things, but Rocket Racer saves him--he wants money after all.

There's a fun scene where two police offers try to catch RR, to no avail. It channels Spidey's chase with the Tarantula through the city a bit. Just a bit.

Interestingly, Spidey says that he'll be graduating "in a few months" and he's been offered a scholarship to teach at ESU and pay his PHD. Nice!

While chasing RR, Spidey notices that his web has been getting weaker for months now... something affecting the original formula (um sure Peter, let's go with that). Set up! Set up!

Anyway, RR escapes once again, but it doesn't matter because...!

Aww that's cute! I admit the scene made me smile.

You know, that was a fun issue. The hero side was fun, and the human side was fun as well!

In #183, Spidey tells us that MJ hasn't answered the proposal yet (oof, that "gulp" was sinister enough...) and we get this...

Lmao, why does Peter look so smooth in the middle panel? Get outta here with that omega man stuff, hahaha.

So Weele, the guy blackmailed by RR, goes to the Tinkerer and decides he wants to be a supervillain too. So the Tinkerer's effectively becoming "that guy every villain comes to to become a supervillain", given that he already built RR's suit.

At the hospital, May's gonna be fine, but "Robert" is there too. His mom is not fine, and the hospital bills keep piling on. He's definitely doing something shady to pay stuff, but what?

Turns out Robert is Rocket Racer. Nice, we get backstory and motivation! Interestingly, both heroes fight while wanting to protect their mother figure in the same room, it makes for a nice moment.

You know what is bonkers?

Weele's new alter ego: Big Wheel. The famous one. I'd heard he was pretty remarkable, and. Yes. I can see that.

The fights ends with Big Wheel rolling into the Hudson. Oops. It was nice to know you!

More importantly, Spider-Man's appearance at the hospital has put May in need of intensive care, says the most asshole male nurse I've ever seen. And then MJ comes... to give back the ring. Oof.

Poor Peter. Who is this in his apartment? That era where you let anyone go to your place, I swear...

Anyway, good issue too! I definitely enjoy the tighter focus on the personal lives of the characters.

Hehehe. A lot of people had guessed it was him! I think having multiple months during the storyline definitely was in their favor.

Some people are NOT happy, but I personally am. They're not yet ready!

In #184, Betty Brant is back! Is she gonna be a serious romantic candidate? I don't feel like Peter's ready for a new partner just yet... and isn't she with Ned Leeds?

Look, if I'm putting this here, it's because Peter Parker is fine as fuck. I think he looked better some 50 issues ago, but he's fresh regardless. He doesn't look as cute anymore... Then again, he's been through some stuff.

Oh right. The plot!

So Betty just left Ned, which means Peter and Ned can finally start dating. I've been waiting for this!

Her story is kind of sad, but also, I really understand it. Not speaking the language can be pretty isolating.

Peter quickly thinks that hey, Betty and him could rekindle their old romance, but he immediately thinks that's not a good idea. She's still married, and he's a good Jewish man.

...I kind of want to see that, though. A bit of drama. Scandal!

And she's into it too, clearly, because she's not going to let Peter go alone to his graduation practice. Is that a thing? I don't have my high school diploma, and I'm still not entirely sure how/when I'll be able to get my university diploma hahaha. Oh, Americans.

Nice to see Marla's still here. And continuation of the Man-Wolf storyline, that's great!

At university, Peter and Betty have a nice time, at least until they cross the path of Philip Chang, who obviously has some PTSD.

Let me enjoy hot Peter in peace.

There's Spidey business for a bit, then back to our betrayers! Betty says Paris is depressing, and she's entirely right. It sucks! It has beautiful things, but it sucks!

Oboy.

Unfortunately, their water is Philip from earlier! Philip is not jazzed up about it, but Peter once again tries to reach out to that lonely figure that calls back to his past self. It's heartwarming, I like it!

So turns out Philip is threatened by this gentleman below.

The White Dragon kidnaps Philip and in consequence, Peter quickly gets rid of Betty, but she seems enamored still, and he has to admit he's also not indifferent to her.

Turns out, Philip has to choose between one of 4 gangs to belong to. Oh. Spidey gets rekt by the White Dragon, and if he wants to save him, Philip has to pick a gang.

But Philip can't, and Spidey's thrown in a gigantic vat of burning oil. Poor guy.

In the comments on *a certain website*, one guy tells his own horror story, about how he also proposed to his girlfriend, who accepted the ring without saying yes or no... then they gradually stopped talking. Oof. That's rough. Hang in there, buddy.

In #185, Spidey gets off fine because while the oil burns his chains, it somehow doesn't burn HIM. Suuuuure. After drowning in the nearby river, he goes back to free Philip. Turns out Philip's dangerous activity back in Hong Kong caused the deaths of his parents, and he vowed to never use violence again. Naturally, that means he can't enter a gang.

These are fun panels. The White Dragon is easily defeated.

Now, onto the graduation! Robbie brings a TV to May's room so she doesn't miss anything, that's sweet!

All of Peter's friends are there (well, not Ned, nor MJ), but there's bad news... he's not on the list! No matter, he still goes to the ceremony. Jameson does a speech that literally lasts "several hours" until, at last... he concludes with "Excelsior" and a reminder that everybody should subscribe to the Bugle.

Peter's name is never called though. The dean tells him he misses one credit, for his sports class. How ironic!

Well, at least, he can always catch up in the summer.

...Wait. What is that.

Is Ross Andru leaving? Is he gone? Was it his final issue? It's a great issue to end on, with a sense of finality, but god damn it, to say I was so happy to have him all this time! Are you kidding me?!

#186 time! Hello, Keith Pollard. Let's see how you're faring.

It's like Ross Andru never left.

Spidey saves a guy from this burning building, to Jameson's despair, but the guy's not happy...

Ooh, that outfit has aged terribly. But the Chameleon seems gay for Spidey so I'm invested.

Anyway, Peter needs money because May needs to be treated and the US health system sucks. So...

Oh my god, they actually fucked.

This is awful, I love it.

The next page helpfully informs me that no, they didn't, they just spoke all night while very obvious sexual tension threatened to ruin their lives. I'm into this too, but it's a bit disappointing, I'm not gonna lie.

Spidey is fed up with being considered public enemy, so he goes to the feds, but...

What. DOC OCK "DIED" IN A SIDE NOVEL?!

Spider-Man is starting to look dangerously like Danganronpa.

Oh well.

Spidey gets an interview in Central Park, but the Chameleon tricks him and his reputation is once again ruined.

It looks right out of a horror movie, I love that left panel hahaha

Aww, Flash, baby! My babyboy

Hmm, we haven't seen Electro in a hot minute... Okay, alright, why not!

So that was alright, this issue. The artists did a good job!

If you're wondering, Annual 12 is ASM #119 and #120, so nothing special. I covered them here already!

Overall a really good batch, I loved the amount of social life we got to see, and I'm curious to see what happened in Spectacular throughout this batch. Next time, folks! I do seem to recall we've got a mystery...

Should be fun!

Top 10 Spinoffs that really need to happen

Hi, friends. I may not be a fan of cheap sequels or prequels we don't want, I do think spinoffs are underrated especially if they focus on characters that are beloved and have interesting stories to tell. I mean, look at the success of Star Wars' many series especially its two diamonds being Clone Wars and Andor. I was inspired to make this list after seeing the trailer of Daryl Dixon.

In this list, I will my top ten medias that could it even bigger if they make these specific spinoffs.

Marvel's War Machine (Film/TV Series) - Nevermind Riri. Let's focus on this guy who was not only around long before her, but since the beginning. In time where we want more black representation than ever, I think War Machine is should be the next big thing. War Machine aka James Ruper "Rhodey" Rhodes is a decorated soldier to begin and Iron Man's right hand man. Despite the similar gimmick, his personality is much more serious, professional and mannerly. He can hold out on his own and he is a hero anyone of any type can look up to.

2. Marvel's Mary Jane Watson (Mini Series) - While she started off as Gwen Stacey's replacement and would alter become Peter Parker's main woman, she has now come quite into her own. She has even gone on adventures of her own, has become more capable and even became an ally in action for Spider-Man. While the comics have gone sour, maybe TV can bring us back MJ and Spidey as not only a couple, but as equals who both have exciting stories to tell.

3. Marvel's (REAL) Spider-Girl (TV Series/Film) - Speaking of TV redeeming MJ and Spidey as soul mates, last I remember, at one point, they were not only happily married, they had a daughter Mayday Parker who had the mantle passed down to her long before Miles Morales, the other Gwen Stacey (Spider-Woman) and all these other modern incarnations. She is a very underrated heroine who fell into obscurity no thanks to how Marvel broke up one of its most iconic couples. She needs to make a comeback because she is the true Spider-Girl in every way possible,

4. Disney's Goofy kid's show (TV Series) - For a while, the Disney gang made a big comeback since Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and almost everyone got their own spinoff or reboot. Everyone, but Goofy which I find is a waste because unlike all the others with the exception of Pete, he actually is a father. So far, the only independent works Goofy has gotten are Goof Troop, the two Goofy Movies and two animated shorts in some holidays specials. I think Goofy can make for a great host in a kid's show because despite his goofiness, he is a very capable and in fact, wise father. He would be a lot like Mr. Rogers or Mr. Dress Up where instead just playing with kids, he's actually teaching them and even comforting them the way a father does.

5. Resident Evil's Billy Coen (Video Game) - I don't think there's an RE fan out there who hasn't wished to see what became of this beloved one off character. Between you and me, I think he's still alive and kicking zombie, and I would love see what became of him after RE0. He not only came from one of the few prequel media out there that was great, but he is a total badass with a compelling backstory. We even got to see what happened to Sherry Birkin later one. I think Billy is more than worth a chance in the spotlight.

6. Silent Hill's Heather Mason (Video Game) - I know what you're thinking, but hear me out. While she got her own game (technically, two if you count the first ever SH game), I don't believe her story should have ended with SH3. The Mason family is the closest thing to a true SH main protagonist as there is I would love to her a now adult Heather Mason still fighting the Order as it is still out there wreaking havoc. She was a great heroine and an underrated video game character in general.

7. Jurassic Park for grown ups (TV Series) - It's had a few spinoffs so far and the only that is a big hit is Camp Cretaceous. I think another one should be made and this time, it should be aimed for adults. In the beginning, JP showed a lot of promise when it came to making adult oriented spinoffs with the comics and the sequel The Lost World, but after that, it became more and more about the action and less about the horror factor and dinosaurs. Even the revival trilogy of Jurassic World lacked that horror element that adults appreciated in the first two movies and most importantly, the book. We need to make a spinoff that is aimed for grown ups without it feeling like it wants to be Indiana Jones.

8. DC's Batgirl (TV Series) - Nevermind Batwoman, Batgirl was around first AND she was solo before joining the bat family officially. I mean, even her father Jim Gordon got his own spinoff series before she did and she's actually a super. And apparently, her film never saw the light of day because it was not up to standard. I say, we make a TV series that does live up to standard AND we make it animated like we did Harley Quinn. Barbara Gordon set the standard for a lot lady supers came after her and she iconic. EVERYONE knows who Batgirl is. Even people who don't read comics know who Batgirl is. What I don't know is why she hasn't starred in her own solo media yet beyond comics.

9. DC's Catwoman (Film/TV Series) - Speaking of iconic DC heroines, it is funny how one of its most iconic anti-heroines, love interest's to Batman and just recently, bisexual supers still hasn't gotten any independent media beyond her comics. If there's one woman who doesn't need no Batman (let alone man in general) to stand on her own two feet and have a compelling story to tell, it's her. The only thing we have gotten are two films. One which is imposter media starring Halle Berry and another no one knows about. Seline Kyle deserves so much more than that. I say she gets her own proper show or at the very least, a proper film. She's worth it.

10. Capcom's Dino Crisis (Video Game) - I think this franchise only got one spinoff (two if you count the third instalment that went off the rails), and it wasn't a hit. Dino Crisis was clearly inspired by the original Jurassic Park especially when it came to horror and the feeling of being genuinely threatened by the dinosaurs. This game felt like the long lost twin sister of RE. With that said, it should get a spinoff because it's worth a last hurrah and who knows? It mind revive this lost gem of a series. I say we go for it and put our best foot forward doing it. Let it be true to the lore, the setting and theme. None of the dinos in space silliness.

Anyway, that is my list. What is your opinion on it? Would you like to see these spinoffs or can you suggest another? Let me know.

Thanks for reading and as always, stay safe.

[jhirowolf]

The interesting thing about Peter Parker at the start of his career, after Ben dies he doesn't think "I shall become a superhero!" Because as a reminder, originaly he never heard the "With great power, there must also come great responsiblity" motto. What he does is angrily decide to quit once he got the murderer and realises that in some way it's his fault for being selfish.

The only reason he puts the mask on again is because he has to make some money to pay the bills as Ben was the only making money in the family, and as May wouldn't let him quit school he decides on performing again and when that doesn't work out (because he can't cash checks and JJJ writes a hit-piece on him that shuts the show down) he starts looking for normal jobs, the first heroic act of his as Spidey is when the capsule with John Jameson looses a naviagtion unit. And even that could be argued was done so Jameson gets off his back so he can go back to performing.

Then he goes to beat up the Fantastic Four as a show of strenght so he'd convince them to take him and pay him....whitch also crashes and burns because they're non-profit. His reason for meeting up with Chameleon was because he was duped into thinking he can make money, so their fight was a vendetta in attempt to clear his name.

Even his reason for fighting Vulture was that he tried taking a pic of him for the news paper to get the reward money and accidentaly ended up fighting the guy.

So really Peter took a while to become an actual hero, his original reason was to make money, and supervillian/superhero pics make bank, so of course he'll take up the challenge if it means being able to support May and himself. So Peter becoming a big and great hero was a long process that kinda became accidental as it started as a way to earn money before it turned into basicly a way for him to vent/relax and also a bit of an obssession/addictions to swing around and fight bad guys.

Summary: He knew that, logically, he should tell Tony, because he’d been told off a million times for hiding injuries, because stab wounds were dangerous, because he was fifteen and shouldn’t deal with those things on his own. But on the other hand, he healed so fast that it would probably be gone by morning, and he really didn’t feel like getting stitched up again. Plus, Tony would lose his mind over it.

Summary: The sky shimmered as the sun peaked out over the spiked skyline, glinting off the glass and rainbowing a varying spray of blues, yellows, oranges, and pinks on the clouds.

It was a beautiful sight.

Peter groaned miserably.

“F***,” Clint hissed as he wrapped another one of Peter’s many wounds in haphazard gauze.

As it was, Clint was the least injured of them, and he was covered in bandages and bruises. Sure, some of those he had started with, but he was hardly in any shape to be playing field nurse.

Peter used his good leg to kick Clint away, “Go help Daredevil,” his breath hitches as Clint tapes down the edge of his makeshift bandage, “He doesn’t have a healing factor. I do. Leave. Me. Alone.”

“Dammit,” Clint growls slapping at Peter’s ankle, “You’re going to bleed out- Stop- Stop kicking me!!”

Sony Venom-Verse Fan Theory

So, Sony has been making some movies about Spider-Man villains in order to set up a sinister six movie sometime in the future. There's just one problem with that, in both Venom and Morbius, the villains are portrayed sympathetically. You can't have the audience see these guys as heroes and then have them suddenly do a 180 to villainy and have Spider-Man beat them up. So that got me thinking, what if they actually are going to be the heroes of the movie, with Spider-Man as the villain.

Sony has been real secretive with who their universe's Spider-Man is, but we know he does exist thanks to Spider-Man: Far From Home. In that movie, all the villains from previous Spider-Man movies who learned Peter Parker is Spider-Man got pulled into the MCU. One of these villains was Eddy Brock from the Sony Venom movies. This shows that not only does Spider-Man exist in the Sony universe, but him and Eddy Brock have some kind of connection. Based on the fact that we never see or hear anything about Spidey fighting Venom, this connection probably happened long before Eddy made contact with the symbiote. The fact that Eddy knows Spidey's secret is evidence of either Eddy being a really good journalist, or Eddy and Peter are friends.

If Eddy and Peter are friends, it would be pretty hard for them to incorporate Venom into their Sinister Six battle against Spidey. That got me thinking, what if Venom and Morbius continue to be heroes and the Sinister Six becomes the Venom-Verse's equivalent of the Avengers? All it would take is one little tweak. Instead of having Peter Parker's Spider-Man, they'd just need to use Otto Octavius's Spider-Man, the Superior Spider-Man. For those unfamiliar with the character, there was a point in the comics where a dying Doctor Octopus swapped his consciousness with Peter Parker and became the Superior Spider-Man. He had the knowledge and personality of Doctor Octopus, mixed with the powers and abilities of Spider-Man. This was not revealed to the reader right away, but instead slowly, showing Peter acting strange and uncharacteristic before the big reveal.

This is where the writer in me takes over and I write a fake screenplay for this movie that might never happen. The story starts with some new villain in town causing chaos and destruction. Venom and friends, being heroes in this universe, show up to save the day. In the middle of the fight, Spider-Man swings on screen. He's been mentioned a few times, but this is his first on screen appearance. Viewers get excited, but something isn't right. Spider-Man isn't acting like Spider-Man. He's more concerned with taking down the villain than protecting civilians and preventing destruction (This job is left up to Venom and crew), he also seems really full of himself. This point is hammered home by a worried Eddy, who assures the group this isn't how his friend normally acts. The gang tries to figure out what's up with Spider-Man, pestering him and spying on him only to be chased off, or sometimes even attacked by Spidey. Eventually, around the start of the third act, they find out that this isn't Peter, but rather Otto in Peter's body. This leads to the big final act where the Sinister Six have to take down Spidey to save Peter. This would be an incredible twist that only serious comic fans would see coming, and one that would leave audiences on the edge of their seats the whole movie.

Anyways, thanks for reading through this mountain of text! I hope you enjoyed it!! (If you did and want to see more of my writing, I have comics! You can find more info in other posts on my blog!!)

Reviewing the First 14 Issues of Amazing Spider-Man Because Nobody Asked Me To But I'm Procrastinating From Editing a Presentation Video for a Grad Class (Scattered Spoilers)

The Amazing Spider-Man #1 (March 1963): What a strange issue this is. Admittedly, I'm new to older comics, so this multi-chapter meandering story really kept me from trying to get further in for *years.* Now having actually read it, its still a weak story, but not straight-up garbage or anything. Spidey saving astronauts isn't particularly exciting, but the fight with the Fantastic Four is -- it sets the stage for many of the webhead's fights where he's obviously outmatched, but holds his own with agility and quick thinking. Pete is obviously very early in his career at this point, but it serves as an excellent display for his potential, not to mention it highlights his desperate need for money (the F4 note that they can't give salaries, but like, Jesus Christ do they clearly have money. Maybe if Johnny didn't buy a new car every week, they could pay a salary). Then, we have the final plot, Spidey vs. the Chameleon. The first of many plots where the city initially turns against our favorite wall-crawler due to his framing. It isn't executed very well here, due to the cramped size of the story, but it is a fun concept, and we get to see the first of many times Spidey conveniently runs out of web-fluid. A solid issue overall, if not the best possible introduction to the character, imo.

The Amazing Spider-Man #2 (May 1963): Here we are introduced to Peter Parker's first "real" super-powered enemy (for lack of a better term). The Chameleon is just good at disguises. While Peter's first fight with the Vulture isn't all too memorable, it does establish the concept of the "chase fight," a troupe critical to the book. If you're unfamiliar with what I mean, I'm referring to fights that bring the webhead and his adversary up, down, and all around the Big Apple over the course of the fight. Pete's clever solution is an interesting display of the scientific prowess that he'll develop throughout the series. The second story, our first introduction to the Tinkerer... is goofy as hell. Sure, an old guy in a Vulture costume might seem silly, but the Tinkerer is a straight up alien who runs a discount repair shopo so he can sneak alien transponders into consumer electronics. I guess it fit the tone of Marvel at the time? I don't know.

The Amazing Spider-Man #3 (July 1963): Finally, a book-length story. This is an excellent issue. Now no longer cramped into half or quarter length stories, we get an excellent introduction to Doc Ock. He promptly beats the shit out of Peter, who has had a relatively easy time winning fights so far, to the point that he questions if he should give up the mantle of Spider-Man. After a random human torch pep-talk, he returns to fight again, concluding the issue with a triumphant victory, managing to put two of Doc Ock's arms out of comission and getting in close to finish him off. An excellent issue, and definitely a cut above the first two.

The Amazing Spider-Man #4 (September 1963): Another solid issue. Though Sandman doesn't get presented as the highly sympathetic villain he'd later become, he's still very entertaining. The highlight of the issue is a chase fight through midtown high, culminating with the (admittedly silly) solution of Spidey attacking Sandman with a drill, causing him to break into sand to avoid the attack, then getting sucked up into a vacuum. Another incredible victory for the wall-crawler. It's still a fun read.

The Amazing Spider-Man #5 (October 1963): Finally, ASM is a monthly book! What a pleasant surprise. That being said, having zero context for Doctor Doom's powerset, I didn't really understand why he kept breaking out random decoy robots and trap holes. Overall, a bit of a bland issue that quickly fades from the memory.

The Amazing Spider-Man #6 (November 1963): Why does the Lizard need to be based in the Everglades? Who cares! It makes for a fun change of location. Even if the Lizard's design is a bit rough at this stage, he's an intimidating villain with power greater than the wall-crawler's. His sympathetic backstory serves as a twist for the issue, and our chase sequence for the issue takes place in the Everglades, and then... a castle in the Everglades. Regardless, its great fun with a happy ending (even if not for Pete).

The Amazing Spider-Man #7 (December 1963): What a way to finish 1963! This issue is fantastic. We see Vulture's escape from prison, and then we get to see him beat the crap out of Spidey as his original solution obviously fails. The issue culminates in an incredible chase fight through the Daily Bugle, with setpieces scattered throughout. We even get a nice little touching note to end on with Betty Brant and Peter. What a guy, what an issue.

The Amazing Spider-Man #8 (January 1964): Looking at this cover for the first time, I expected this to be a real slog of an issue, but its actually great fun. The Living Brain/Flash fights are a good time, and its entertaining to read Pete's inner monologue as he tries not to turn Flash into a grease stain on the gym floor. The Living Brain is less interesting, but is another entertaining interior fight. The Living Torch section confirms that the F4 could absolutely pay Peter if they wanted to, and that Pete can still thoroughly outmatch them if he's really trying. A fun issue.

The Amazing Spider-Man #9 (February 1964): An excellent example of the personal drama that makes this hero great. Sure, Electro is a big threat, but Aunt May's health is in a rough place for the first time of many. Peter gets bodied by Electro, but he's still focused on helping his aunt first. Frankly, he beats Electro rather nonchalantly, but the May plot makes it a worthwhile issue.

The Amazing Spider-Man #10 (March 1964): Another excellent issue. While the Enforcers themselves are literally "big guy, small guy, and guy with lasso," they facilitate a fight that lsts for half the entire issue, with Spidey fighting off what must be a dozen different goons aat once, with everything in the environment being used. The issue closes out with two twists: an amusing reveal of the "Big Man," as well as some interesting characterization for JJJ. A standout issue among these early entires to me, along with #7.

The Amazing Spider-Man #11 (April 1964): Another issue in a series of bangers. Intrigue with Betty Brant! Spidey has to go to Philly! Doc Ock returning! A massive fight with a bunch of guys on a boat as well as Doc Ock! An accidental death on the wall-crawler's hands! Oh, the humanity! Not to mention Pete gives himself a damn sprained ankle early in the issue. The guy just can't catch a break.

The Amazing Spider-Man #12 (May 1964): Our first immediately continued story from the last issue, and it doesn't really let up. Doc Ock returns to New York and demands to fight the webhead, even kidnapping Betty Brant in the process! Luckily though, she escapes, as apparently, one of Pete's biggest weaknesses is the fact that a regular virus absolutely wipes his spider-powers. Who knew? Anyhow, he gets unmasked, but it doesn't really matter. The issue concludes with another exciting fight with Doc Ock. The guy just generates entertaining issues. Really does seem to be Pete's nemesis at this point.

The Amazing Spider-Man #13 (June 1964): Finally, the city *really* turning on Spider-Man! Mysterio really gets Spidey up in a bind, but the actual resolution for the issue is a bit weak. How can Spidey clear his name? Well, he uses an audio recorder when Mysterio is monologuing. How can Spidey beat Mysterio's spider-sense jamming smoke/sonar? Swinging randomly. Bah.

The Amazing Spider-Man #14 (July 1964): My God! The return of my beloved Enforcers! The introduction of Green Goblin?? And the Hulk's here too?? Yeah, sadly this is a lame issue. For whatever reason, the Green Goblin's first of many conniving schemes is... luring SPidey out to Hollywood with the help of a producer so that he and the Enforcers can kill him while they film... Why not just... gang up on him in New York? Why, so they can randomly stumble into a cave where the Hulk is, of course! Yeah, idk. The randomness is nuts with this one. Not to mention Green Goblin's friggin... broomstick. Hm. At least the Enforcers fight was kinda fun. Still a lame issue, though.

That's it for now. Perhaps I'll review them in 14 issue blocks for no reason. I am trying to read everything chronologically, ish, so it might not just be ASM next time! We shall see. If that happens. lol

Makes sense but I've never heard of him… ● (pg 4) Now they're off to find Spidey ● Thor found him first ● (pg 6) Spidey isn't sure he wants to be an Avenger and needs to think on it ● Peter makes good points on the pros and cons of becoming an Avenger ● (pg 10) Spider-Man, keep your temper in check, dude ● (pg 11) omg… this is a disaster

● you had that coming, Spider-Man ● (pg 12) they'd be crazy to vote him in ● he's gotta find the Hulk and bring him back to the Avengers

● Bruce Banner! ● Spider-Man feels sorry for him and let's him go, then tells the Avengers he couldn't find him ● see, if they just communicated with each other, this all could have been straightened out. ● 👏👏👏

Synopsis: The Avengers have assembled and are trying to determine whether or not to invite Spider-Man into their esteemed ranks. After much debate and confusion, they decide to invite Daredevil to get more information. He shows up and gives strong praise in Spider-Man having seen him fight against The Ringmaster. After his endorsement, the Avengers unanimously vote to test Spider-Man, and if he passes, to accept him. Each Avenger takes off to find Spider-Man. Thor is the first to find him, and gives him 24 hours to show to the Avengers headquarters. Pete wrestles with the idea of being on a team in the public eye versus being self-employed and calling the shots himself.

Finally, he decides to take a chance and meet the Avengers. As he arrives, the Avengers are bogged down as to what test they should give Spider-Man. Iron Man tells him to get out of the way as they figure out what they want to do. Spider-Man takes great offense and figures that riling him up is the test so Spider-Man begins to fight the Avengers. Instead, they decide to have Spider-Man bring Hulk to them but Spider-Man leaves before they can explain why. As he stops at The Daily Bugle for refreshment, Frederick Foswell tells J. Jonah Jameson that the Hulk has been spotted at a gamma ray research center. While fighting the Hulk, he punches and a gamma ray explodes temporarily turning him back into Bruce Banner.

Spider-Man tries to explain his purpose there, but ends up wondering why the Avengers want a sick man, not an evil villain. He lets Hulk go and tells the Avengers he couldn’t be found. The Avengers didn’t tell Spider-Man that they wanted to help him, but Spider-Man feared he would lead Hulk to his doom. Pete, conflicted by the result, tries to tell himself it’s for the best.
