Review: Space Marine by Ian Watson

When other Warhammer fans told me that Ian Watson's Draco was a bizarre, uncomfortable mess, I didn't believe them. They were right. So when they also told me that Space Marine had everything wrong with Draco and then some, I should have listened this time around.

Because they were right.

Space Marine follows three adolescent boys growing up on the hive world of Necromunda - Lexandro D'arquebus, the spoiled, hedonistic son of an official; Yeremi Valence, as close to middle-class as you get on Necromunda; and Biff Tundrish, a low-hive ganger with a distinctive spider tattoo on his face. For their own reasons, all three apply to join the Imperial Guard and selected as recruits to the Imperial Fists chapter of the Space Marines, where they will be molded into weapons to fight in the name of the God Emperor and a strange, complex bond will form between the three that will be the cause of both successes and failures as they fight their way across the galaxy. 

Oh man. . . where to start. The story itself had a decent setup. A coming-of-age tale following the training and missions of some young Space Marines will likely come to be a classic plot in Warhammer 40k literature, but it is one for a reason. The plot mixes the fantastic and sometimes horrifying realities of life in the 41st millennium with more down-to-earth and relatable relationships between the boys in a way that could have been very satisfying. 

Unfortunately, however, it was not. 

The character development, while intriguing and surprisingly complex in theory, is delivered in a "tell, don't show" fashion where, for the most part, the narration simply informs us how the boys feel about each other rather than allowing them to express their feelings in dialogue or actions. On the other hand, the action scenes have the opposite problem - they're so overwritten that it becomes difficult to tell what's going on in a sea of obscure vocabulary and flowery metaphor. 

All this, however, pales in comparison to the content. As a gothic space opera setting, Warhammer 40k is no stranger to horrific and sometimes gross elements. But Watson plays these up to the point of repulsing the reader not just from the events of the story, but from the book itself, seeming to glory in comparing architecture to genitalia, describing various forms of self-harm, and, most importantly, talking about poop. I lost track of how many times this book finds increasingly convoluted reasons for the characters to touch poop, eat poop, poop their pants, etc., to the point that it's not clear if this was supposed to be some kind of obscure social commentary, a terribly failed attempt at gross-out humor, or simply the author's fetish. 

All that being said, despite the low rating, I can't quite bring myself to hate this book. It's not a good 40k book, it's not a good story, and even at its short page count, it overstayed its welcome, but the absurdity pushes it firmly into 'so bad its good' territory and I enjoyed reading it and quoting some of the more absurd parts to my friends. 

Warnings: In addition to the previously-mentioned frequent references to excrement, the book is full of other assorted grossout descriptions, as well as graphic violence, torture, religious self-harm, and some light body horror.

In addition, the relationship between the three boys is often played for homoeroticism, but the way it’s written makes it clear that Watson thinks this is disturbing and toxic and, intentionally or no, comes off as homophobic

Rating: 2/10

Aber⁤ zum Glück bin ich auf eine Quelle der Inspiration gestoßen und habe⁤ einige ‌ entdeckt! Obwohl es ⁢herausfordernd war, habe‌ ich es geschafft, drei einzigartige Namen für⁤ meine ‍tierischen Freunde ⁣zu finden. Hier sind einige meiner Lieblingsideen: 1. ‍"Die Knuddelbande": Für mein Trio von niedlichen Meerschweinchen⁣ fand ich diesen Namen einfach‍ perfekt! Sie sind unglaublich⁤ verspielt und kuscheln⁤ gerne miteinander. Mit ihren flauschigen ​Bäuchen und der knuffigen Art haben sie diesen Namen wirklich verdient. 2.​ "Die fliegenden Künstler": Meine drei wellenartigen Sittiche sind ‌wahre Luftakrobaten ​und zeigen gerne ihre kunstvollen Flugmanöver. ‌Um⁢ ihre ​einzigartige Persönlichkeit widerzuspiegeln, nannte ich sie die fliegenden Künstler.⁣ Sie sind nicht nur⁢ talentierte Flieger, ⁤sondern auch ​echte Charaktere! 3. "Die Pfotenpatrouille":⁢ Für meine ⁣drei energiegeladenen Hunde ⁤entschied ich​ mich für‍ diesen coolen Namen. Sie sind⁤ wie eine ‍kleine Truppe, immer zusammen unterwegs ⁢und schützen ⁤unser ‍Haus.⁣ Mit ⁢ihren schnellen⁢ Pfoten‍ und ihrem treuen Wesen sind sie meine persönliche Pfotenpolizei! 4. "Die scharfen Schnäbel": Meine drei frechen​ Papageien sind bekannt für ⁤ihre​ lauten Gespräche und klugen Kommentare. Ihr scharfes Schnabelwerk beeindruckt mich immer wieder. ‌Daher war klar, dass "Die scharfen Schnäbel" ‍der ‌perfekte Name für diese schräge Truppe war! 5. "Die flauschigen Fünf": Okay, ich weiß, ⁣dass es einen Namen ‍für⁣ ein ⁢Trio gibt, aber ich konnte mich nicht entscheiden, welches meiner Hasen ich auslassen sollte. Also​ entschied⁤ ich ‍mich kurzerhand für fünf Namen! Diese‌ flauschigen Kreaturen ‌sind‍ so niedlich, dass ‌ich es‍ einfach nicht übers Herz gebracht habe, ⁣einen von⁤ ihnen zu vernachlässigen. Ich hoffe, diese Vorschläge helfen dir​ bei der ‍Namensfindung für deine Trio-Bande. Denke daran, deiner Kreativität freien Lauf zu​ lassen und die Persönlichkeiten deiner​ Tiere zu berücksichtigen.⁤ Ob‌ knuddelig, ‌flauschig oder frech – es‌ gibt unendlich viele Möglichkeiten für originelle Tiernamen!​ Viel Spaß beim⁢ Auswählen! Die‍ Bedeutung von ⁤passenden Tiernamen ⁤für Trios Als stolze Besitzerin​ eines Trios von Haustieren kann ich aus eigener⁢ Erfahrung sagen, dass die Wahl der passenden Tiernamen eine⁣ große Bedeutung​ hat. Es mag zunächst ​trivial erscheinen, aber die Namen spielen eine wichtige Rolle in der​ Kommunikation und Identifizierung unserer tierischen Gefährten. Hier sind ​einige Gründe, warum ich glaube, dass passende Tiernamen⁢ so wichtig sind: 1. ⁣Einzigartigkeit:‌ Jedes Tier ist ein ​Individuum und verdient einen Namen, der seine Persönlichkeit widerspiegelt. Indem wir jedem Tier​ einen einzigartigen Namen geben, geben wir ⁤ihm auch​ einen eigenen Platz in ‌unserer Familie. ⁢Das hilft uns, ⁤sie‌ besser voneinander zu unterscheiden und ⁤eine persönliche Bindung aufzubauen. 2. Leichte Unterscheidung: Ein ⁣Trio von Tieren kann zu einer kleinen Herausforderung werden, insbesondere⁢ wenn sie optisch ähnlich aussehen. Indem wir jedem‌ Tier​ einen individuellen Namen geben, erleichtern ‍wir nicht nur uns selbst, sondern auch unseren Freunden und Familienmitgliedern ‍die ⁢Unterscheidung. Das erspart uns peinliche ​Situationen wie ⁣"Welcher von‍ den⁣ dreien ist⁤ das⁤ jetzt?" 3. Verständigung: Ein sinnvoller Tiername kann die Kommunikation mit ​unseren​ Haustieren erleichtern. Wenn wir sie rufen, reagieren sie oft schneller und wissen, dass wir sie meinen. Nicht nur das, auch die Möglichkeit, den Namen ‍in Verbindung mit bestimmten Befehlen zu nutzen, kann ⁢ihnen ⁤helfen, schneller zu lernen und zu verstehen,⁣ was wir von ihnen wollen. 4. Erinnerungswert: Tierische Familienmitglieder ⁤begleiten uns oft ⁣viele⁢ Jahre. Ein ausdrucksstarker Name kann⁣ uns helfen, ‌uns⁤ an besondere Momente und ​Erlebnisse mit unseren Tieren‌ zu erinnern.‌ Wenn wir ⁤ihren ‌Namen ⁤aussprechen, kommen⁢ viele ‍schöne Erinnerungen hoch,⁤ die uns ein Lächeln aufs ​Gesicht zaubern. 5. Spaßfaktor: Gleichzeitig⁢ macht es einfach Spaß, ⁣passende Tiernamen für ein Trio auszuwählen. Es‌ ist die Chance, unsere Kreativität spielen zu⁢ lassen. Ob​ es sich um Namen mit einem gemeinsamen Thema, lustige ⁤Wortspiele⁢ oder inspiriert von ‍beliebten Filmen handelt, es gibt unendlich viele Möglichkeiten, die den Alltag ‌mit unseren Tieren auflockern und uns zum Lachen bringen​ können. Ganz egal, ob wir einem ​Trio von Hunden, Katzen, Vögeln oder sogar Reptilien Namen geben –‍ die Bedeutung von passenden ⁣Tiernamen für das Wohlbefinden⁢ sowohl der Tiere als auch ihrer Besitzerinnen ​und Besitzer sollte‌ nicht unterschätzt werden.‍ Es mag zwar nicht das Wichtigste im Leben unserer ⁤Vierbeiner sein, aber es trägt dazu bei,‌ dass unsere spezielles Trio einmalig und unvergesslich wird. Also​ investiert ein⁢ wenig Zeit und ⁣Kreativität in die Namen eurer Haustiere, ihr⁢ werdet es nicht bereuen! Tipps zur Auswahl der‍ besten ‌Namen ⁤für Tiertrios Als⁢ langjähriger Tierliebhaber und stolzer Besitzer von mehreren Tiertrios, möchte ich hier meine Tipps zur⁤ Auswahl der besten ‍Namen ‌für deine tierischen Dreiergespanne teilen. Die Wahl‍ eines passenden Namens ist nicht‌ nur wichtig, um deine Tiere zu identifizieren, sondern es macht​ auch Spaß und verleiht⁢ deinem Trio eine persönliche Note. 1. Gemeinsames Thema: Wenn du auf der Suche nach einem Namen für dein ⁢Tiertrio ⁣bist, solltest du ein gemeinsames​ Thema oder einen roten Faden überlegen. Zum⁢ Beispiel könntest du dich‌ für Namen‍ entscheiden, die auf eine bestimmte Farbe, ⁣ein Land oder eine Filmreihe Bezug⁣ nehmen. Diese thematische ‌Verbindung gibt deinem Trio einen⁢ einheitlichen‌ und ​einprägsamen Namen. 2. Charaktereigenschaften: Betrachte ‌die individuellen Persönlichkeiten‌ der Tiere in deinem Trio. Überlege, welche Charaktereigenschaften sie haben und wie sich diese⁤ in Namen ⁣widerspiegeln könnten. Wenn beispielsweise ein Tier besonders verspielt ist, könntest du ihm ‌den Namen "Flitzer" geben. Wenn ein‌ anderes Tier ruhiger und gelassen ist,‌ könnte ​es ⁢den Namen "Chill" tragen. Die Namen⁣ sollten die Wesenszüge und Verhaltensweisen ‌deiner Tiere widerspiegeln. 3. Wortspiele und ⁢Kreativität: Lass deiner Kreativität freien Lauf und spiele mit Wörtern und​ Buchstaben. Kombiniere die Namen deiner Tiere oder​ erfinde neue Namen, die lustig oder einzigartig sind. Ein Beispiel ‍könnte ‍"Pfoten-Gang" für​ ein Trio von Hunden sein. Denke außerdem daran, dass Namen ​in⁣ anderen Sprachen eine‌ zusätzliche Ebene des Spaßes und der Originalität ‍bieten. 4. Einfachheit:‌ Halte die Namen‍ deines Tiertrios einfach und leicht ‌auszusprechen. Lange oder⁢ komplizierte Namen können verwirrend⁤ sein⁣ und sind ‍schwer ​zu merken. Kurze,⁣ prägnante ⁣Namen sind nicht nur für dich, sondern ‍auch für ⁤andere einfacher zu behalten ⁤und erleichtern die Kommunikation mit ⁣deinen Tieren. 5. Beobachte⁤ und teste aus: Beobachte dein Tiertrio sorgfältig und beobachte⁢ ihr Verhalten. Schaue, wie gut die Namen zu ihnen passen und ob sie auf die Namen ​reagieren. Manchmal ⁢kann es mehrere Versuche ‍dauern, um den perfekten Namen zu ‍finden. Teste verschiedene Namen aus und achte darauf, wie deine Tiere auf sie⁢ reagieren. Wenn sie gut auf einen Namen reagieren, der ⁤zu ihrer Persönlichkeit passt, hast du einen Gewinner gefunden. Denk daran,​ dass die ​Wahl der Namen für dein Tiertrio ‌eine persönliche Entscheidung ist. Nimm dir Zeit, um zu experimentieren und die Namen zu finden, die‍ am‌ besten zu ​deiner einzigartigen​ Gruppe von Tieren passen. Mit etwas Kreativität und beobachtender ​Aufmerksamkeit wirst du sicherlich die besten Namen finden, die deine Tiertrio zum Strahlen bringen! Viel ‌Spaß beim Namensgeben⁣ und den Abenteuern​ mit deinem Trio. Fragen und Antworten rund⁣ um Tiernamen Tiernamen für Trios - Häufig‌ gestellte Fragen 1. Wie finde ich passende ‍Tiernamen für Trios? Als ⁤erfahrener ⁤Tierhalter und Namensgeber für Trios kann ‌ich ⁤Ihnen einige Tipps ⁣geben. Erstens sollten die Namen gut zueinander⁣ passen und ⁢harmonieren. Es ist‍ oft eine ⁢gute‌ Idee, ⁢thematische ⁢Namen ⁣oder Namen mit ​ähnlichen​ Bedeutungen​ zu⁤ wählen. Zweitens‌ können Sie sich von Filmen, Büchern, Mythologie oder⁢ sogar Alltagssituationen inspirieren lassen. Gehen Sie ruhig‍ ein wenig ⁤kreativ‌ vor! 2. Welche Arten⁢ von⁣ Tieren eignen sich für Trios? Die Wahl‌ der Tiere hängt von Ihrer persönlichen Vorliebe und den möglichen Kombinationen ab. Typischerweise eignen sich kleine Nagetiere wie Hamster, Mäuse oder Meerschweinchen gut für ‌Trios. Hunde und‌ Katzen ‍sind​ ebenfalls möglich, erfordern jedoch möglicherweise etwas ⁤mehr Aufwand.​ Denken Sie auch daran, dass die Tiere ⁣miteinander harmonieren sollten, um ein friedliches Zusammenleben ⁢zu ermöglichen. 3. Sollten die Tiernamen eine bestimmte⁣ Bedeutung haben? Die Bedeutung der Namen ist vollkommen optional. Einige‌ Tierhalter bevorzugen⁤ Namen mit ‍Bedeutungen, die zu den Eigenschaften oder Merkmalen⁢ ihrer Tiere passen. ‌Andere⁢ wählen ihre Namen rein nach ästhetischen⁢ oder⁢ klanglichen Gesichtspunkten aus.⁣ Es liegt ganz‌ bei Ihnen, welche Art‍ von Bedeutung oder Symbolik Sie den Namen Ihrer ​Tiere zuweisen möchten. 4. Wie finde ich Namen, ⁢die gut zueinander passen? Um Namen zu ⁢finden, die gut⁢ zueinander passen, können ‍Sie verschiedene Methoden ausprobieren. ⁤Sie können beispielsweise Namen mit ähnlichen Anfangsbuchstaben wählen oder Namen, die‌ auf ähnliche Weise enden. Sie könnten auch nach ⁢Namen suchen, ⁣die verschiedene Variationen desselben Themas repräsentieren. ‍Kreativität⁤ und das Ausprobieren⁤ verschiedener Kombinationen sind der Schlüssel. 5. ‍Was ist, wenn⁣ sich meine ‍Tiere nicht mit⁢ ihren‍ Namen identifizieren? Es ist wichtig zu bedenken, ‌dass⁣ Tiere nicht wirklich verstehen, welche Namen sie haben.‍ Sie reagieren eher auf Ihre Stimme und Ihr Verhalten. Wenn Ihre Tiere nicht auf ihre Namen reagieren,​ liegt der Fokus wahrscheinlich eher ‌darauf, eine starke Bindung zu Ihnen ⁤aufzubauen ⁢und klare ⁣Kommunikation zu etablieren, als die Namen ​zu ändern. Machen Sie sich ‌also ⁣keine Sorgen,‌ wenn Ihre⁢ Tiere nicht auf ihre Namen hören. Ich hoffe, diese⁤ FAQ⁤ hat Ihnen bei ⁢der‍ Namensfindung ‍für Ihre⁢ Trios geholfen. Viel Spaß bei der Auswahl und genießen Sie die Zeit mit Ihren Tieren! Und da habt ihr es,‍ Leute! Eine Menge lustige ⁣Tiernamen für Trios, die euch ⁢bestimmt zum ‍Lachen bringen werden. Egal ob es um eure drei Haustiere geht oder​ vielleicht um eine lustige Geschichte, die ​ihr schreibt –‍ diese Namen sind sicherlich​ ein Hingucker. Vergesst ‌nicht, eurer ​Kreativität freien Lauf zu‍ lassen und die Namen auf die Persönlichkeiten eurer Tiere abzustimmen. ‌Egal, ob es ​um die⁤ drei Musketiere, drei Stooges oder das berühmte Trio der⁣ Harry Potter Figuren​ geht,‍ es gibt unzählige Möglichkeiten, um⁤ euren Trio-Tieren ‍einen einzigartigen Namen zu geben. Also worauf wartet ihr ​noch? Lasst die lustigen Namen ⁤sprudeln und⁣ erfreut euch an⁢ eurem unvergleichlichen Trio! Lesen Sie den ganzen Artikel

AC/DC's Back In Black remains both one of the biggest sellers and one of the pinnacles of Robert John 'Mutt' Lange's career. To be honest, the latter manages to find himself on many discs that are the former. For instance, he helmed Shania Twain's Come On Over which continues to be the country album with the most sales. Of course, I would hardly call the genre of this LP that, but I think this was the intention Lange and Twain had. They wished to go beyond the boundaries of the idiom, so they basically did a melange of the style with the pop brands popular during the 90's. Sure, the disc can be occasionally too 90's, the single in the link does seem like a good AI approximation of the period, yet the sonic perfectionism of the singer and the producer still makes this a vital platter.

Torn between "Imperial Fists are sluts who are having kinky sex in the barracks and the Phalanx is full of erotic art of Fists past" and "Imperial Fists have their sex drives conditioned away. They swear up and down the pain stuff isn't sexual. The wearing of fist-shaped buttplugs into battle isn't sexual either."

Cause my OC Clothilde was chaste before getting married, despite having squadmates who were boyfriends and vulnerable to command chain rape (Space Marines are conditioned to feel like following orders is as natural as breathing).

But Lex Biff and Yeremi from Ian Watson's Space Marine were shagging.

Animal Crossing Headcanons

Here are my residents who currently live on my island (Riptide). I would like to hear how our headcanons seem to differ. If you want me to write up headcanons of my previous villagers or one of my dreamies, don’t be afraid to ask.

Beardo:

I did not consent to him to live on my island! (Deprevation of Liberty!) Beardo would you kindly get out of Riptide, please. Fine you can stay, on the grounds you can make yourself useful by making me some DIY recipes!

Would drop you off in front of your group of friends and will embarrass your friends.

Will chaperone in every opportunity.

I wonder if there is the male version of the ‘sMother’?

The eldest resident.

Alexander Armstrong from Full Metal Alchemist (without the boasting of his muscles).

Doctor Watson from Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle

Dawson from Basil, the Great Mouse Detective.

For fun he buys every newspaper to do crossword puzzles and word searches (yet he hates sudoku with a passion) plays Scrabble or Chess when having company but he frames up jigsaw puzzles he bought from thrift/charity shops. (Apparently he likes seeing missing pieces of a complete puzzle).

His favourite sweets are Worthers Originals and After Eight.

Doesn’t own a TV or a computer yet he has a radio. (would go ballistic if you change the radio station.

Biff:

He is black.

Short for an adult male (somewhere in that 5’4”-5’7” bracket)

You ever see that one video of that guy taking a shower and washing his hair while someone upstairs is applying MORE shampoo on his head without him looking? That is Biff!

Plays basketball (street rules).

Bluebear:

The youngest resident.

She loves to read manga (secretly a weeb).

Flies her weeb flag when she sings K-Pop and J-Pop out loud.

Likes the pastel colours like yellow and purple (prefers lilac).

DISASTER! (but in a cute glitter bomb kinda way).

Precious little cinnamon roll, too pure for the world.

Keeps me on my toes.

Social media junkie (complete opposite of Lolly)

Elvis:

The Dad of the island.

Puts in a lot of effort to “keeping it real” with the kids.

Midlife crisis.

Technophobe.

Old fashioned.

Voiced by James Earl Jones.

Ace from 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors

Flo:

The Mom of the island.

The cool fun ‘vodka’ Aunt

Formerly a snooty, Flo used to be in a biker gang when she was younger.

Apollo and Flo once dated (Flo dumped him).

Rides a skidoo instead of a motorbike.

Gladys:

Scared to leave the house unaccompanied.

Introvert.

Seamstress (I have to try on her clothes she made for me or else I’d hurt her feelings... I’m even scared to say her if the clothes are too tight or small).

She is like those dolls that lives in a glass case.

Yukiko from Persona 4

Fluttershy from MLP:FIM

Traditional

Loves to hosts tea ceremonies (and biscuits)

Constitution is her dump stat.

Besties with Lolly.

Jitters:

Would play football for Brazil. (Striker or Forward)

Would wear those massive carnival dresses and walks in the parade.

Slips into speaking Portuguese.

Drinks a large amount of energy drinks (like Red Bull).

Wants to own a yellow Farrari.

Flashy, Loud and obnoxious. (The complete opposite of Gladys).

Klaus:

Would play RTS (Real Time Strategy) in his spare time so he would play games like Age of Empires and Sid Meier’s Civilisation Series.

Has a sibling relationship with Bluebear.

Eventhough his interior is a bath house, I’d buy him wicker furniture.

Loves to travel around Europe (and he would invite me to come with him on his travels all expenses paid but I would feel guilty for not paying for my own ticket and hotel... “Klaus, at least let me buy you dinner or something!”)

German (Munich) accent... (Sounds like Docm77 from Hermitcraft).

Lolly:

The girl next door.

Prefers the books than the film adaptation.

Proclaims to be a terrible cook (but her cooking is great!)

Still on the topic of food, she makes more than she would yesterday and would give you her leftovers.

Wants to live in a library.

Hates using social media (it’s time wasting and she has better things to do).

Secret uchi.

Wolfgang:

Terry Bogard from Garou: Mark of the Wolves (not the Final Fight Series)

Bucky Barns from the MCU.

Would want to team up in a bar fight.

(Apparently all my friends on Animal Crossing New Horizons always come onto my island everyday just because they want to visit him, I consider him to be straight but have some bisexual tendencies).

Has authority issues and with his elders... like Dobie (rebels against his ‘old man’)

[wasteland-heresy]

So going through my Ian Watson tag I realized I also never mentioned the very important scene where Lexandro and the other guy go off to bang and Biff fucks it up by being an awkward third wheel.

And it’s never addressed again.

Marathon

THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #216 MAY 1981 BY DENNIS O’NEIL, JOHN ROMITA JR, JIM MOONEY AND BOB SHAREN

SYNOPSIS (FROM MARVEL DATABASE)

Following his battle with the Frightful Four, Spider-Man leaves his temporary lodging at a posh hotel to return to his newly repaired apartment. In rough shape after his last battle, Spider-Man decides to go visit Debora Whitman to have someone care for him. Changing back into his civilian guise, Peter Parker takes the subway to Whitman's home. Along the way, he wonders if he can start another relationship following the death of Gwen Stacy, and his subsequent break-up with Mary Jane Watson. He comes to the conclusion that he is ready for another relationship. As he gets off the subway, Peter passes an election poster for Barney Wicker. Soon he knocks at her apartment door. When he asks to come in, Debora tells him that it wouldn't be a good idea. That's when Debora's guest, a man named Biff Rifkin comes to the door and introduces himself. Hurt to see Debora with another man, Peter quickly excuses himself and leaves. Outside, Peter is depressed over his current love life. In too much pain to put off his injuries any longer, Peter decides to web-sling to Greenwich Hospital to have himself looked after. Meanwhile, not far away, a husband argues with his wife over her participation in a city marathon that is scheduled for that day.

Later, at Greenwich Hospital, Peter Parker has his injuries tended to by a doctor. The hospital is busy with marathon runners being brought in for injuries. It's then that Peter overhears a group of men planning to assassinate someone. Hearing an off the cuff comment about their victim never running again, Peter assumes that they are going to kill one of the marathon runners. His attempts to learn the identity of the men he overheard fails. Peter decides to do something of it and gives the clairvoyant known as Madam Web a call to see if she can shed some light on this mystery. Madam Web doesn't know the specifics of this assassination plot, but tells Peter that should she learn more, she will contact him. With no other leads, Peter decides to finally head home. Upon arriving at his apartment, Peter is amazed at the repair work done by the cleanup crew but discovers his clothing reaks of smoke after the recent fire. That's when his noisy neighbor begins singing again. Peter goes to wash up, and while lost in thought he comes to the conclusion that he cannot shirk his responsibilities and must make an attempt to stop the gunmen from killing their intended victim.

The next morning, Spider-Man waits atop the Verrazano Narrows Bridge to monitor the marathon for danger. No sooner has he arrived does he spot a car speeding toward the runners. He quickly webs up the tires, stopping the vehicle. Checking the driver, Spider-Man discovers that this is not a would-be assassin, but a drunk driver. As he attends to the drunk, he doesn't hear a nearby emergency phone begin to ring. Soon the marathon begins, and Spider-Man follows along in the hopes of stopping the shooter. Along the way, he saves the life of a wheelchair-bound racer who gets knocked over the bridge. Further along the way, he stops what he thinks is the shooter, but it turns out to be a man carrying a banjo. He also saves some kids who are at danger when the fire escape they are on collapses. As he is attending to the kids, he doesn't hear a nearby pay phone begin to ring. As he nears the end of the race, Spider-Man also stops a pickpocket from victimizing some of the spectators by webbing his hands.

When one of the runners suffers a heart attack, Spider-Man rushes him to a nearby hospital. As he reaches the finish line, he happens upon J. Jonah Jameson, along with his Aunt May and Nathan Lubensky in the crowd. Jameson and Spider-Man trade barbs, and ultimately Spider-Man webs up the camera Jameson is using to take photos of the marathon. Finally, someone gets his attention to a ringing payphone and discovers that it is a call from Madam Web. The woman has discovered that the assassins are waiting at the finish line and are waiting for Barney Wicker to make a speech as he is their intended target. Spider-Man tracks them down to the rooftop where they are setting up their sniper rifle. Spider-Man easily dodges their bullets and incapacitates them by ripping off the top of a water tower and tossing it on them. Having foiled this assassination attempt, the marathon concludes uninterrupted.

REVIEW

While it is kind of obvious who the target was, from page one, there were no reasons for Peter to suspect this (we do because Denny was very insisting on those campaign posters). Also, the phone calls on the street were also kind of obviously coming from Madame Web (but maybe it was just obvious to me).

The result is a fun, typical Spider-man story. The touch of genius in this comic is that cab driver refusing to drive for Clevelanders. I am pretty sure this is based on something that happened to someone at the Marvel offices.

I give the issue a score of 7

Sherlock: It’s never twins!

John: But-

[hellzyeahthewebwieldingavenger]

“Spider-Man: Homecoming is the best Spider-Man movie ever, and it isn't even close.”

No it isn’t.

It’s not even the best example of filmmaking about a character called Spider-Man.

Vital plot points don’t really make much sense, there is fatigue from the MCu overall and on top of that it aggressively lacks substance and weight to it the way Spider-Man 2002 and Spider-Man 2 had.

As a film it’s fun but the best ever and it not being close?

But I expet nothing less from the blog that straight up claimed Brand New Day was awesome, the Spider-Man story could have ended after the Death of Gwen Stacy (despite you know multiple dangling plot threads) and that One More Day was great because we got young and hip Spider-Man back and the whole story makes sense because by making the dealto never be married there could never have been a deal to get unmarried therefore Spider-Man never made a eal with mephisto so shuttup and stop complaining about it idiots, enjoy Carlie Cooper and creepy Black Cat mask sex instead!

“To be fair, I don't think Tom Holland was the best Spider-Man — that's Andrew Garfield, who is much closer to my preferred version of Spider-Man (the late, college-age Steve Ditko version) than anyone else (Holland wins the prize for being the closest version to Ultimate Spider-Man. That's the thing. Spider-Man is open to interpretation. They all got a piece of him right.).”

So the OP’s preferred version is a version which existed for literally 8 issues?

Okay.

Also Holland might be relatively closest to the Ultimate version of Spider-Man…but only the Ultimate Miles Morales version.

“Nor do I think that it's the most groundbreaking of the Spider-Man movies, since that still probably goes to the first one with Tobey Maguire, which was mind-blowing at the time of release, but is horribly dated now.”

No art should ever be legitimately judged outside the context in which it was created. A movie not dating is nothing more than a bonus. It doesn’t make or break the film’s value because the standards of today are simply arbitrarily different to the standards of yesterday and the standards of tomorrow will be much the same.

“With context as to what the superhero movie would later become, Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst look positively amateurish and incredibly underwhelming. (And whiny. Let's never forget whiny.)”

Yeah…fuck this guy.

Every character who whined in the first 2 films had legitimate reasons to do so.

But oh noes, they aren’t deadpan snarker badasses like RDJ’s Iron man therefore they must suck because…they act like human beings I guess.

“Context matters, though. And in the larger scheme of things when the history books are written, Tobey Maguire's first foray as Spider-Man will be remembered as the character's coming out moment, for better or for worse. Similarly, context matters when looking at creative choices made in a movie like this. And while I can't quite put into words why the movie fell short for me despite the fact that all the elements to make it successful were there, I can talk about something else regarding the movie, and that's the fact that it's one of the most racially diverse blockbuster movies in recent memory.”

So it’s the best Spier-Man movie ever but fell short for you….okay…

“So let's look at...

Racial Diversity and Bending in Spider-Man: Homecoming

by Duy

SPOILERS FOLLOW Spider-Man: Homecoming has a pretty damn diverse cast. Let's take a look at his main classmates Breakfast Club style.

So you've got Tom Holland in the middle playing Peter Parker. He's white. Over to his left is Zendaya, playing Michelle, is half-black, half-white, while in front of Tom is Laura Harrier, playing Liz, also half-black, half-white. Tony Revolori, to the right, plays Flash, and is of Guatemalan descent, while Jacob Batalon, who plays Ned, was born in Hawaii to Filipino parents. It's diverse. It's a step forward in Hollywood. It's wonderful. It also bugs me. WAIT, NO, HEAR ME OUT BEFORE YOU FIRE UP THE COMMENTS. All of these characters are named after a longtime Spider-Man character. It could be argued that since their last names are never given (except for one), they could be anything from callbacks to tributes to trolling methods on the part of the filmmakers. And that's fair.”

No it isn’t.

In an adaptation they should actually adapt the characters whilst respecting the spirits of them. Spider-Man is one of the best franchises ever. It doesn’t need OCs and it doesn’t need OCs’ who’re ‘references’ to the established characters who are on the whole richer and more movieworthy than them.

“All the same, I think there are missed opportunities here. Let's look at them one by one, in the order of the level of opportunity wastage. Tony Revolori plays Flash, the school bully. This is named after Flash Thompson. Flash Thompson normally looks like this: So now we've got a Guatemalan playing him who also doesn't play him as a jock. Instead, he's also another science nerd, who just happens to be the least smart out of all of them, and instead of threatening to beat Peter up or calling him "Puny Parker," he calls him "Penis Parker" instead. I'm cool with that. Look, racebending a 1962 comic just makes sense. You know what schools in the US were like in 1962? Segregated. That means white people and non-white people couldn't really interact. You know what a New York high school is like in 2017? Not segregated. That means Peter Parker's gonna have classmates of all races and descents, and if you populate a cast with racially diverse characters, but the only ones he interacts with are all still white, that just calls attention to the whole issue to begin with. You can't diversify without empowering.”

As for Flash being a nerd rather than a jock, that's cool too.”

No it isn’t.

Flash’s character is very much wrapped up in the fact that he I a jock. He’s a dumb blockhead with a good heart at the end of the day who learns to be more than that whilst still being nostalgic for his high school glory days when he peaked due to his athleticism and when life was much simpler because of that.

“The past decade and a half has seen a rise in the nerd bully, the type that torments you verbally rather than threatens you physically.”

Er, yeah…Flash was mostly a verbal bully in those Ditko comics this guy has claimed to have read. He wasn’t doing a Biff Tannen impersonation at all. He was mostly verbally insulting and humiliating Peter.

“See, for example, Gamergate, Kylo Ren, the villain in the last Ghostbusters movie, and the entirety of the internet. Are jocks vs. nerds still a thing?”

Yes I suspect nerds vs. jocks is very much still a thing actually.

“ The nerds kinda crossed the line the moment Revenge of the Nerds happened, and that was in 1984”

I grew up in the 90s and the 2000s so…yeah this is bullshit nerds really didn’t cross the line in 1984.

“Are jocks still bullies? I dunno, I'm old. But from the looks of the internet, nerds certainly are.”

The internet isn’t the real world.

Nerds can be bullies and so can jocks.

Flash being the latter is important to his character.

“Laura Harrier plays Liz, the girl Peter has a crush on. In the comics, this girl is Liz Allan.

Here's the thing: they've racebent Liz before, in the excellent Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon, which I still think is the best Spider-Man outside of the comics medium. She's Hispanic in the cartoon, I believe, and half-black in the movie. And that's fine — the character of Liz Allan works regardless of race.

I think it's a powerful message when young kids watching Spider-Man see a white guy having a crush on a girl who isn't white — and an interracial one at that. Seeing examples this early on in life can only have a positive effect.”

Colour me crazy but…aren’t people just going to fancy whoever they are going to fancy?

Like…I don’t think any little white boys watching this movie are going to be influenced towards finding ladies of the same ethnicity as Laura Harrier more attractive one way or the other. “Zendaya plays Michelle. And at the end of the movie, Michelle says she prefers to be called MJ. I shouldn't have to remind readers, this is Mary Jane Watson: Now, she isn't "Mary Jane," she's Michelle. But the role is still there. She's going to be Peter's main love interest moving forward (unless we get someone showing up as Gwen).”

a)     How do you know that?

b)     Mary Jane’s role is more than just his love interest. By this definition Liz filled Mary Jane’s role.

“And if that's the case, it was pretty smart in this movie to establish her as someone with her own agency and her own personality rather than someone who gets in trouble and motivates Peter.”

Yes it was because that doesn’t pertain to the 616 comics version of Mary Jane nor the Dunst version as I’m sure you meant because you’re a narrowminded so and so who like the rest of the internet gets the knives out for Dunst’s version of the character regardless of how justified it might be.

“All the same, this bugs me, for two reasons. The first reason is this: Zendaya's Michelle is nothing like Mary Jane Watson, party animal with a troubled soul... but she could be. We know this from what Zendaya's done before. She plays a socially conscious, withdrawn, isolated person when Mary Jane is usually the exact opposite of all of those things. She's basically another character altogether. The "MJ" reveal just feels tacked on and unnecessary, and without value past the first time you hear it. And it closes the door on a future MJ that may actually be like the MJ from the comics. (Kirsten Dunst was not the MJ from the comics. Kirsten Dunst played Kirsten Dunst.)”

Do you know Kirsten Dunst personally in order to verify that?

“The second reason is that the character that Zendaya's "Michelle" is most like? A sarcastic woman who is both mean to Peter Parker and yet shows affection for him? That's actually a character named Michele. And she's awesome.”

Like I said…Brand New Day worshipper right here.

Michelle wasn’t awesome.

Michelle was a racist sterotype of Latinex women.

She was ‘the hot blooded latina’ sterotype taken to insane degrees because she

a)     slept with Peter when he was intoxicated and didn’t know what he was doing (which you could at the very least argue is a form of rape)

b)     vandalized his property when he claimed he’d been impersonated by the Chameleon which is an entirely reasomable thing for him to say given that they live in a world of superheroes.

c)     Slightly tortured him with with food

d)     Needlessly insulted him

e)     Oh, and did I mention that in a scenario that wasn’t in the defence of herself, a third party and didn’t come from a place of justifed mental inhibition she punched him in the face!

Let me repeat that.

Michelle who is apparently ‘awesome’ assaulted  someone.

Did I mention she was a lawyer too?

Fuck Michelle.

“I'm always of the stance that racebending is fine if there is no counterpart that already exists. In this case though, there is. (Side note: Zendaya playing Michelle is still a racebend, since Michele is a Latina.) And what bugs me about this is more from a marketing perspective: Gwen Stacy and Mary Jane Watson became the big Spider-Man love interests by continued exposure.”

No.

Gwen became the big Spdier-Man love interest because she was positioned as that and was then immortalized when she died.

Mary Jane became that because she was a great character everyone loved and was then positioned as his love interest eventually marrying him.

“How can we possibly build more characters and the presence of those characters when we're still cycling back and forth between Gwen and Mary Jane?”

That argument is as fucking asinine as saying we can’t build in new Superman love intersts because we keep using Lois Lane.

Gwen and MJ aren’t just there via repetition.

They are massive important parts of the mythology.

“That's why fans get so resistant in the comics whenever Peter has a new love interest, the belief that it can only be one of those two.”

No fans get resistant because most of the new love interests suck shit and are never as good as Mary jane because they can’t be because she had 20 years of a developoing relationship with him preceded by 20 more years of development as his frined/confidant.

Again…it’s the same reason Superman is always with Lois Lane.

It’s not a legitimate basis for an argument to say Spider-Man should even have other love interests by this point. The ship sailed on that decades ago.

“But we don't give chances to other love interests, partly because Marvel doesn't give them those chances either.”

WTF did Carlie Cooper have if not a chance?

She existed for over 2 years as Spider-Man’s love interest.

Peter dated Felicia for over 2 years in the 1980s.

Fans gave characters chances half the time but those characters didn’t live up to those chances. The other half of the time they didn’t give the character a chance because in context the character didn’t deserve a chance.

Post-OMD every romantic relationship is 100% pointless UNLESS its with Mary jane putting things backt he way it was.

See Nu52 Superman/Wonder Woman another fine fucking mess people didn’t give a shit about because of how utterly asinine it was.

Spier-Man isn’t fucking James Bond and Mary Jane and Gwen aren’t optional interchanagable characters asshole.

“Jacob Batalon plays Ned. Ostensibly, this is after Ned Leeds. And this is Ned Leeds:

Ned's a reporter who didn't even go to high school with Peter. In the movie, Ned is his best friend, who knows who he is, helps him with Spider-Man stuff, and looks like Ganke.

Ganke is the best friend of Miles Morales, the second Spider-Man.

Seriously, why didn't they just name him Ganke? He's right there.”

Because they didn’t want to give Bendis royalties probably.

Also alongside Brand New Day worship this blogger seems to find zero problems with a Peter Parker story STEALING Ganke from Miles Morales.

Charming.

“Which brings us to Tom Holland, who plays Peter Parker. And he was great. He nailed high school/Ultimate Spider-Man, and got the right mix of humor and angst that that makes Spider-Man who he is. And that's fine. That's fair. “

No he didn’t and no it isn’t.

He could do that stuff if given the chance.

But he wasn’t.

Because the angst he had was over his Tony Stark worship and desire to be an Avenger rather than the horrible life mistakes he made and his desire to do right by his mother and the humour he was used in boiled down to slapstick bumbling.

That isn’t Spider-Man.

If you think that’s Spider-Man you need to re-read your shit because you are entirely wrong. Not even Ultimate comics Spider-Man was anything like that.

“But here's the thing. Peter Parker in high school classically is a loner, someone who makes sure no one knows he's Spider-Man, goes about things on a grassroots level, and doesn't let anyone — anyone — help him out. He's actually a bit of a jerk, honestly.”

Yes and no.

Yes he is a loner but no he wasn’t a jerk.

He was a typical teen but one who was understandably stressed out because on top of the typical trials of adolescence, he was trying to earn a scholarship, was getting bullied, was dodging bullets every night, trying to earn money to support his household oh and also dealing with HIS DAD DYING!

And the picture given to this part of the article doesn’t even SHOW him being a jerk!

“The thing is, there is a character named Spider-Man who grew up idolizing other superheroes, who has an overweight Asian best friend who helps him out as Spider-Man, and who is mentored by the Avengers, and that guy is Miles Morales. This should have been a Miles Morales movie. By concept, premise, and execution, everything about the movie screamed "Miles Morales" to me more than it did "Peter Parker," to the point where it felt like it was, in fact, a Miles Morales movie, except they wrote out Miles and dumped Peter in his place.”

That is true but this shouldn’t have been a Miles movie by design.

Nobody should have consciously tried to make this anything like a Miles Morales movie. “And that's the rub about this whole diversity thing right now. Whenever we applaud a movie for being diverse, we mean one of two things. We could mean it, as we did for Captain America: Winter Soldier or Spider-Man: Homecoming, as "a racially diverse cast with a white male lead." Or we could mean it, as is happening and will continue to happen with Black Panther, as "a cast that is dominated by one race." Both are well and good and unheard of even ten years ago on the level that it is now. But there's still something missing, and that's having a non-white character headline a blockbuster movie with a racially diverse cast. I will consider the battle for diversity won when we can see that type of movie in spades and not have to remark about how noteworthy it is. This would have been the perfect opportunity to do it. They could have written Peter as an older character to focus on later, one that's always been Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and just not heard of much, as he normally is in the comics where he isn't that well-known outside of New York City, while focusing on Miles.”

No they couldn’t.

The Netflix series all happen in New York city.

We the audience are supposed to know EVERYTHING about the MCU beyond the stuff that is behind the scenes or secret.

Saying

“Oh Spider-Man was there the whole time you just didn’t know about it” is a creative cheat of the highest order and makes no fucking sense because OF COURSE people in and out of New York were going to know about him. It’d be unrealistic for them NOT to.

Not to mention how actually Spider-Man IS known outside of New York.

As for making Peter older and focussing upon Miles this wouldn’t have worked for a million reasons.

But chief among them is that Miles doesn’t have the material necessary to eek out a film trilogy of his own. Most of his highly decompressed stories are rossovers and tie-ins that can’t work for film and the rest of them repeat beats from other Spider-Man and superhero movies.

You couldn’t even introduce Miles without telling his origin story which is exactly what helped kill the LAST film version of Spider-Man because Miles and Peter have incredibly similar origins.

Then you have the fact that it royally fucks the entire appeal of doing Spider-Man in the MCu.

The mass audiences DOESN’T WANT to just see any given kid in web spandex called Spider-man on screen with the Avengers they want it to be THAT SPECFIC kid from the previous five movies who’s worked his way into mass pop culture.

The audience impact and appeal is grossly diminished if you DON’T make it peter Parker.

Which doesn’t mean Peter himself must be white.

But it does HAVE to be Peter NOT Miles.

Peter who is, I’m sorry…like an egregiously better character than Miles in alsmost every way possible.

“And it could have been done, since we literally just saw it two years ago in Ant-Man, where the movie focused on Scott Lang instead of Hank Pym, the original, classic bearer of that mantle.”

Fuck me this stupid ass argument again.

NO you didn’t just see it get done in Ant Man.

In Ant Man Hank Pym was a SECRET super hero working behind the scenes.

That’s intrinsically different to the inherent nature of Spider-Man as a public crime fighter who is demonized by the media

And I’m sorry…switching out Hank for Soctt is also inherently different. Hank Pym’s deal is that he switched identities a lot and has a mental illness. The Ant Man mythology if you like isn’t as reliant upon HIM holding the mantle as it is for Spider-Man who’s whole history and mythology is built specifically around peter Parker and his personal life and relationships.

Because Peter IS Spider-Man.

And again, people didn’t get excited to see any given kid called Spider-Man onscreen with the Avengers. They got excited for it to be Peter specifically.

Let me repeat that again.

Introducing Miles into the MCU is NOT THE SAME THING AS HAVING TWO ANT MEN!

“And I get it, too. If this was the only time we're ever going to see Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, I would want that Spider-Man to be Peter Parker. But if that's the case, I wish I could've seen a movie that felt more like Peter Parker than a Miles Morales movie where he's removed and replaced with Peter Parker.”

Finally something we agree on.

“That this didn't feel like a Peter Parker movie to me is a cranky old fanboy nitpick.”

That isn’t a nitpick that’s a legitimately massive problem with the film that fucks it over.

Hi @latimes @latimesmobile-blog,

Listen To The Breaking News and Top Stories!!

This is The Whole Untold Story Of The Great Actor Kenneth Tobey:

Early years

Kenneth Jesse Tobey was born in 1917 in Oakland, California. According to the United States Census of 1930 for Oakland,13-year-old "Kenneth J." was the eldest of three sons of Jesse V. Tobey and his wife Frances H. Tobey. That census also documents that Tobey's father was an automobile-tire salesman and that young Kenneth was of Irish and Russian ancestry. His paternal grandmother's parents were both natives of the "Ireland Free State", and his mother's parents were born in Russia, although they apparently had immigrated to South America, where Frances Tobey had been born and where in her youth the preferred language spoken in her family's household—again documented in the census—was Spanish. Following his graduation from high school in 1935, Kenneth was headed for a career in law when he first dabbled in acting at the University of California Little Theater. That stage experience led to a drama scholarship, a year-and-a-half of study at New York's Neighborhood Playhouse, where his classmates included fellow University of California at Berkeley alumni Gregory Peck, Eli Wallach, and Tony Randall.

During World War II, Tobey joined the United States Army Air Forces, serving in the Pacific as a rear gunner aboard a B-25 bomber. Throughout the 1940s, with the exception of his time in military service, Tobey acted on Broadway and in summer stock. After appearing in a 1943 film short, The Man of the Ferry, he made his Hollywood film debut in the 1947 Hopalong Cassidy western Dangerous Venture. He then went on to appear in scores of features and on numerous television series. In the 1949 film Twelve O' Clock High, he is the negligent airbase sentry who is dressed down by General Frank Savage (played by Gregory Peck). That same year Tobey performed in a brief comedy bit in another film, I Was a Male War Bride. His performance in that minor part caught the attention of director Howard Hawks, who promised to use the thirty-two-year-old actor in something more substantial.

In 1951, Tobey was cast in Howard Hawks' production The Thing from Another World. In this classic sci-fi film he portrays Captain Patrick Hendry, a United States Air Force pilot, who at the North Pole leads a scientific outpost's dogged defense against an alien portrayed by James Arness, later the star of the television series Gunsmoke. Tobey's performance in Hawks' film garnered the actor other parts in science fiction movies in the 1950s, usually reprising his role as a military officer, such as in The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms (1953) and It Came from Beneath the Sea (1956).

Television



Tobey appeared in the 1952 episode "Counterfeit Plates" on the CBS series Biff Baker, U.S.A., an espionage drama starring Alan Hale, Jr. He was cast too in the 1954-1955 CBS legal drama The Public Defender, starring Reed Hadley. He guest-starred in three episodes of NBC's western anthology series Frontier. His Frontier roles were as Wade Trippe in "In Nebraska" (1955) and then as Gabe Sharp in "Out from Texas" and "The Hostage" (1956). In 1955, he also portrayed legendary frontiersman Jim Bowie on ABC's Davy Crockett, a Walt Disney production, with Fess Parker in the title role. After Bowie's death in the series at the Battle of the Alamo, Tobey played a second character, Jocko, in the two final episodes of Davy Crockett.

Tobey then, in 1957, appeared in the syndicated religion anthology series Crossroads in the role of Mr. Alston in the episode "Call for Help" and as Jim Callahan in "Bandit Chief" in the syndicated western series The Sheriff of Cochise. Later that same year, Tobey starred in the television series The Whirlybirds, a successful CBS and then-syndicated adventure produced by Desilu Studios. In it he played the co-owner of a helicopter charter service, along with fellow actor Craig Hill. The Whirlybirds was a major hit in the United States and abroad, with 111 episodes filmed through 1960. It remained in syndication worldwide for many years.

In 1958, Tobey also appeared as John Wallach in the episode "$50 for a Dead Man" in Jeff Richards's NBC western series Jefferson Drum. In 1960, he guest-starred in the episode "West of Boston" of another NBC western series, Overland Trail, starring William Bendix and Doug McClure. He performed as well in the ABC western series The Rebel, starring Nick Adams. Tobey made three guest appearances on Perry Mason, twice in 1960 and once in 1962 as Jack Alvin, a deputy district attorney. On the long-running western series Gunsmoke, he portrayed a cruel, knife-wielding buffalo hunter, Ben Spadden, in the 1960 episode titled "The Worm". Tobey in 1962 also guest-starred on another western series, Lawman, playing the character Duncan Clooney, an engineer who seeks to move a shipment of nitroglycerin through Laramie, Wyoming. When the town is evacuated to allow passage of the explosives, two of Clooney's employees decide they will take advantage of the situation to rob the bank.

Tobey guest-starred as well in Jack Lord's 1962-1963 ABC adventure series about a rodeo circuit rider, Stoney Burke. In 1967 he performed on the series Lassie, in the episode "Lure of the Wild", playing a retired forest ranger who tames a local coyote. He also appeared as a slave owner named Taggart in "The Wolf Man", a 1967 episode of Daniel Boone, starring Fess Parker. A few of the many other series in which Tobey later performed include Adam-12 (1969), Gibbsville (1976), MV Klickitat (1978), Emergency! (1975), and Night Court (1985).

He became a semi-regular on the NBC series I Spy as the field boss of agents Robinson and Scott. Christian Nyby, director of The Thing From Another World, often directed those episodes. Tobey also portrayed a ship's captain on the Rockford Files, in an episode titled "There's One in Every Port".

Other films

In 1957, Tobey portrayed a sheriff in The Vampire (a film that some sources today often confuse with the 1935 production Mark of the Vampire). That year he also appeared in a more prestigious film, serving as a featured supporting character with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara, the co-stars of John Ford's The Wings of Eagles. In that film, Tobey—with his naturally red hair on display in vibrant Metrocolor—portrays a highly competitive United States Army Air Service officer. In one memorable scene he has the distinction of shoving a piece of gooey cake into the face of John Wayne, whose character is a rival United States Navy aviation officer. Not surprisingly, a room-wrecking brawl ensues.

Tobey's work over the next several decades was increasingly involved in television productions. He did, though, continue to perform in a range of feature films, such as Stark Fear, Marlowe, Billy Jack, Walking Tall, The Howling, the war movie MacArthur (in which he portrays Admiral "Bull" Halsey), Airplane!, Gremlins, Big Top Pee-wee, and Gremlins 2: The New Batch.

Broadway

Although Tobey had a busy acting career in films and on television, he also periodically returned to the stage. In 1964 he began a long run on Broadway opposite Sammy Davis, Jr., in the musical version of Clifford Odets' play Golden Boy. Some of his other Broadway credits are As You Like It, Sunny River, Janie, Sons and Soldiers, A New Life, Suds in Your Eye, The Cherry Orchard, and Truckline Cafe.

Later years

As his long career drew to a close, Tobey still received acting jobs from people who had grown up watching his performances in sci-fi films of the 1950s, particularly Joe Dante, who included the veteran actor in his stock company of reliable players. Two appearances on the sitcom Night Court came the same way, through fans of his work. Along with other character actors who had been in 1950s sci-fi and horror films (John Agar, Robert O. Cornthwaite, Gloria Talbott, etc.), Tobey starred in a spoof originally titled Attack Of The B Movie Monster. In 2005, Anthem Pictures released the completed feature version of this spoof on DVD under the new title The Naked Monster. Tobey's scenes in that release were actually shot in 1985, so The Naked Monster is technically his final film credit, being released three years after his death. He had, however, continued to act throughout most of the 1990s. One of those notable roles is his performance in the 1994 Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "Shadowplay" as Rurigan, an alien who recreates his dead friends as holograms. Among other examples of Tobey's final decade of work are his two appearances as Judge Kent Watson on the series L.A. Law.

In 2002, Tobey died of natural causes at age 85 in Rancho Mirage, California.
