Like why do they have to draw her cross eyed for no reason. Not that I mind if she was, but this is clearly off model.

Poster should designers look at old paintings to model how to do group shots. Like look at this David masterpiece, The Tennis Court Oath to see how you can co-ordinate groups of people (in this case future representatives of the French Revolution) in one large crowd shot.

For a thousandth title of a flagship comic, not opening at #1 spot and opening below Absolute Batman, an AU comic from the last few years, entering it's 20th Issue (the point when interest typically flags) is absurd.

It’s very Kirby-esque. From AF#15 cover. Very muscular and broad. Looks much tougher and macho than Peter comes on. More easily convincing as an adult superhero which is what Peter convinced others he was originally. Prefer it over the “just a kid” nonsense.

Man I always knew Erik Larsen had weird takes but I never expected him to slip into outright sexism as he did in the ASM#1000 Letters page. Like he says some interesting stuff once but I can't imagine what possesses a person to say this, and also for Nick Lowe to publish and platform this.

Gaiman wrote the story "The Problem of Susan" which is an edgy 90s and 2000s deconstruction of older literature. As reading goes, it's not bad. But given what we know of Gaiman, his story about presenting Aslan as a slimy predator pretending to be god reflects on him more than Narnia these days. 3/

The last Narnia book involves (in common knowledge) the characters going to heaven, shepherded by Aslan the Lion. But Susan is not allowed in because she likes "nylon and lipstick". And this was invoked as a sexist idea on Lewis' part. Rowling the future Transphobe made this point. 2/

That Ben Grimm ends up becoming a Thing is an issue that the F4 had to dance around in the early pages. Ben lashes out at Reed numerous times but the narrative always returns to framing Reed be in the right. 3/

Ray Davies of The Kinks once said Ed Sheeran was too corporate. And man did he snipe him yards away. I know it's cringe to say "I never liked him away" and like there are people I like who have been canceled and I had to deal with that...but I never did like Ed Sheeran anyway.

Dan Slott happily promotes ASM#1000 written by "Wrestling icon, Triple H" when the correct phrase is MAGA Princeling. Going out of his way to shill for a totally disgraceful and obscene person contributing to ASM. Never liked Slott but I thought he'd have that much self-respect, at least.

Goodwin is hilarious describing this. The subtext for why Peter decides he’s real is simply “I got laid”. That has to happen to the real me, not my clone.

Samuel Fuller hated Jesse James so much that he made I Shot Jesse James specifically to frame Bob Ford as the real hero who was tragically hated for killing a guy who he saw as a criminal who overdrew his credit of oxygen.

Then Xbox did a stupid thing by calling the third console Xbox ONE. Now there's no geometric theme anymore. The ONE thing meant "All-in-One" well call it All in One then. The actual console rollout was confusing but that was an extension of the confused branding. 4/

Then we have Xbox 360. 360 degrees makes a circle. So once again you have a geometrical theme. It refers to the circle Xbox button, the green Xbox ring, and the controller which is wireless and so technically can be rotated on a circular axis. 2/

It doesn't make sense because it directly contradicts canon many times over. First, Robbie wasn't there at the Bugle when Peter was hired. He came later, and Robbie thought Peter was a great photographer. Jameson also praised Peter as a photographer on their first meeting.

Jameson learning Peter’s identity would be the inverse of this bit from Elvis. A lot of rage but deep down a sense of palpable relief that he’s not gonna have to walk back his irrational hatred too much.

The eye sockets are bad. Kirby originally had large square sockets that showed off scar tissue and highlighted his humanity. It was also more actor friendly provided you lit it well. This one goes for a Batman-like shadowy slit thing.

I guess. I don’t like comparing Peter to the sidekicks. The whole point is that hes a prodigy. The young guy who is a solo hero rather than waiting in line. Spider-Man is peer to Superman and Batman. DC recognized as such in the 70s in the very first crossover.

Say, which is that issue of Spectacular ? The Raimi movies where Jameson rifles through his work and says it’s crap and then in the third one Eddie Brock (Topher Grace) says the composition of his work is bad. And then Zdarsky dropped this bit of multi-character assassination.

Not quite. The earliest reference I can find culturally to Peter being a bad photographer is actually a 1974 interview with French director Alain Resnais where in the middle of promoting his arthouse works he talks about Stan Lee and mentions this. jonathanrosenbaum.net/2024/07/pari...
