MarvelDC guy x4 NO YOURE SO RIGHT I FUCKING HATE THE WAY PETER ACTS SOMETIMES ESPECIALLY AROUND CHARACTERS LIKE VENOM 😭😭😭 SUCH A HYPOCRITICAL PIECE OF SHIT…. I remember reading the issues with a guy called Cardiac in them whose entire thing is hes a disabled black leftist who wants to hold companies cops etc accountable. His first issue had him destroying empty factories that made toys that killed Children and Peter the whole time was like NUH UH THATS ILEGAL YOU CANT DESTROY PRIVATE PROPERTY-
PETER YOU STUPID CUNT BASTARD YOUR ENTIRE EXISTENCE IS ILLEGAL!!!!! WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING THE LEGAL SYSTEM AND CEOS!!!!!!! SHUT THE FUCK UPPPP and hes like ALWAYS doing that sort of shit with Venom like always acting as though actually we need to RESPECT THE COPS like oh my god dude jump off a bridge already
Also YEAH there are different lanterns! The way it works is that there are different lantern colours that correspond to emotions or whatever. So green is like willpower. Originally there was only three colours iirc, green (willpower) yellow (fear) and like pink or “star sapphire” (love). Yellow + star sapphire was usually portrayed as villainous, with star sapphire being like villainous to morally ambiguous. In the 2000s they introduced other colours like red for rage and blue for hope but a lot of lantern heads I personally know do nottttttt enjoy the 2000s green lantern comics. A lot of bullshit retcons to essentially uphold and redeem a character whose canonically a military man and a pedophile- it led to a lot of like crazy copaganda and military propaganda appearing in lantern comics too that STILL plague the titles to this day
very rarely does peter annoy me in solo spiderman comics, in fact he is very endearing! but as soon as venom comes into play it just becomes insane fucking copaganda. venom, who in the original villain arc, made it a point to protect innocent civilians and only killed cops and soldiers, is treated on the same level as villains who straight up kill civilians indiscriminately. it drives me insane. even if you aren't on the acab train, you MUST admit that cops and soldiers SIGNED UP to put their lives at risk, so guarding/arresting a giant alien goo villain who has no qualms with killing, is a risk of your job, that you consented to. civilians have not agreed to anything of the sort. civilians are everyday people just trying to live their lives who have not consented to having their lives put at risk like that. you have to admit that a villain who doesn't distinguish civilians from cops and soldiers is worse than venom. BUT NO !!!!!!! spiderman acts like venom is THE MSOT EVIL PERSON EVER and dont even fucking get me started on maximum carnage. the most infuriating thing i have ever fucking read in my entire life. i wanted to strangle peter so bad in that entire storyline
i read only a handful of issues with cardiac in them and i believe it was actually his introduction, and that was even more mind boggling because yeah he's morally gray compared to the likes of the big name heroes, but he's by no means a VENOM??? bro was unequivocally good. who fucking cares about some factory bombings if he's getting the job done and actually helping people
the way peter gets defensive over cops so much is genuinely mind boggling because yeah acab but like, yes anon as you said, peter literally operates outside of the law!! the cops do not like spiderman!! so why in god's name is spiderman so defensive of the Epic Inherent Goodness Of The Police
god just. head in my hands. the superhero genre is an inherently silly one but the more you read comics and the deeper you think about it through actual irl politics it's also such an inherently regressive and conservative genre as well. just fucking absolutely steeped in copaganda and upholding capitalist systems, both blatantly (the harhar look at this comically commie villain doesnt he know communism is evil, or the gasp venom you're such an evil copkiller) but even in the more subtle ways, with spiderman so often dedicating himself to protecting private property, or how often the tragic deaths in his life are police officers killed in the line of duty who literally halts the entire plot because every single character needs to grieve this cop, etc. it's exhausting. and even when you have a copkiller like venom it still eventually leads back into copaganda what with the late 90s venom comics. no superhero comic is immune to copaganda despite the fact superheroes are inherently vigilantes operating outside of the law, often DUE to the failures of the justice system. literally just head in my hands
