I’m realizing you can’t look at comic sales figures to gauge what’s actually hot because it doesn’t count what the readers are buying it’s counting how much the stores bought from the publishers to sell. That’s how said publishers get paid for their comics. It’s more like a horoscope

The business model is so fucking stupid lmao

MarvelDC anon x5 sorry im back again I just wanted to say I agree 100% with everything you say and don’t rly have anything to add there that isnt just recycling your points. It’s genuinely fucking crazy how the entire point of the superhero in 90% of cases is that they are vigilantes who operate outside of the legal system and yet so many of them are given plot lines about how the cops or the military are Awesome. Or like will show them buddy buddy with cops or the government. LIKE STOP ITTTT. STOP ITTTTT. And most of the time too it’s for characters where them being hyper connected with the government etc makes their overall story Worse. Ill use flash as an example bc You Know that guy but I LOVE flash I love him as a disabled character struggling w addiction issues for personal reasons BUT HIM LOSING HIS LEGS LIKE SHOOTING PEOPLE IN THE SWANA REGION AND THEN BECOMING A GOVERNMENT GUY IS SO FUCKING ASSSSSSS IT MAKES HIM WORSE AS A CHARACTER AND A PERSON IN A WAY THAT ISNT INTERESTING BECAUSE THEY NEVER SAY ANYTHING INTERESTING ABOUT IT!!!!! Like why the fuck did Flash even become disabled in regard to Going To Commit Imperialism For The U. S. A like NYC gets destroyed on the daily!!!! Have him lose his legs by a building falling on top of him!!!! Im spitballing ideas here but why wasn’t Venom Flash uhhhhhh Him Losing his legs in an event like that, in conjunction with him saving someone else, since this is the era of Symby and Eddie's breakup Symby is slithering along + sees this and helps him out, bc you know they can make their own choices and do what they want and maybe they wanna be a hero too even for a moment, then like maybe a few months later or whatever They Meet again and Symby is like hey….. I felt something when we bonded for that brief time. Im going through something rough too right now (The Divorce) so why don’t we try something new together. AND NOW BOOM. you can have Flash as Venom. Now without the stupid venom as addiction metaphor too! Like if you really fucking want you can include stuff about the government trying to manipulate them or whatever but as a whole this would have been so much better of an angle to start venom flash with but NO that we DIDNT GET Because Of The Military Complex meaning We Cant Ever Have Good Things

i know this is so controversial among the venom fans but like i'm really not that attached to flash lmfao i know nothing about him he's just some guy to me i just know he's so much better than mac gargan cuz by god that was a dark time for venom comics.

so now i'm the one nodding along with you and not adding anything lol. i trust you to come up with a better backstory for him because i literally don't know anything about him beyond the vaguest outline. i don't even know what war he fought in that he lost his legs to i dont know Anything. eddie some little absolute freak to me but flash is just some guy

Like if you really fucking want you can include stuff about the government trying to manipulate them or whatever but as a whole this would have been so much better of an angle to start venom flash with but NO that we DIDNT GET Because Of The Military Complex meaning We Cant Ever Have Good Things

i do have to say though that this is totally how i thought venom 2011 was going to go. the first like, four-ish issues got my hopes up so much. i really honestly thought it was going to be drawing parallels between symby and flash how they are ultimately just tools of the government, just weapons that can be discarded in pushing the military's agenda.

this whole page drove me insane at the time and it still kinda does. the way flash is lying directly to his superior to stay with symby longer despite how much he's been drilled that being with the symbiote too long is a danger. they aren't friends yet this early but there's still this impulse to stick with it. and it's because they're parallels!!! the symbiote is quite literally being treated as a mindless tool by the government - it's deprived of all rights that a sentient, sapient being requires. it's trapped and it's being forced into serving and fighting on behalf of a government that doesn't even care for it. likewise, flash is being given the illusion of choice, and to some extent he still does have a choice, but he's being so manipulated by the government here that really he is also just a mindless tool for them - or at least, they want him to be mindless about it. the final fucking panel at the bottom of the final page is crazy.

it was such a strong start to a run that i was very apprehensive about due to aforementioned lack of knowledge of flash as a character, and my general fed-up-ness with the way the comics had been handling venom and eddie in general during that irl time period. so i was so so hoping that it would be taking a blatant and staunch anti-military stance, or even at the bare minimum if it was even still done in a liberal way, as long as there was still SOME criticism of the military complex i would be jumping for joy. and the idea of flash and symby then also bonding during all that?!! crazy. but then it just kinda. goes off the fucking rails halfway through that run/??? like demons and hell and satan kinda off the rails. absolute bonkers. i need to reread venom 2011 actually i barely remember it it was like a fever dream to me. could have been because i descended into madness shortly after i read it but i digress

I know I said I want to write smut but now I want to write. I don't know. Something else. Something Venom-related and also Harry-related. Like, not a fix for MSM2 or anything - god no, I'm not touching that with a ten foot pole - but I think Harry would still be fascinated by the concept of symbiosis. By the idea that theoretically anyone could be Venom... but the reality that actually only a very few people in very specific circumstances can Be Venom. Maybe "5 times someone else told Harry about Venom, and 1 time he told someone else about Venom"...

Especially in the wake of the original Red Goblin story, minus Flash dying of course, I think it would be neat to have Harry then pass on what he's learned about symbiosis to Normie. Some kind of attempt to help his oldest son process the trauma, or something...

I have just. Lots of feelings about this. Maybe it might even come up because Normie is scared to visit Uncle Flash, who's recovering in the hospital - he's scared that the Carnage bit is still inside him, and that he might hurt Flash somehow. So Harry sits him down and talks it over with Normie, trying to reassure him and dissuade his fears. He might not know a lot about Carnage, but he knows a fair amount about Venom, and that's better than nothing in this case.

All he wants, ultimately, is just for his family to be safe and happy. Even when weird shit keeps happening to them.

consider this my spiritual successor to the other post i did like this with “i.. becamed a vampire”

Companies are always like "we value you! You need to take care of your mental health!" And then when you call out because you can't stop crying and don't know why and snapped at a customer (because it's the anniversary of your father's death where you held him as he slowly died and your body had a trauma response without you even realizing it) its "oh you let down the team. You've only worked here a month, you're not allowed to call out!" And then they write you up for it. Despite the store manager saying "yeah, you don't sound like yourself. You should stay home."

one thing I love about how Spider-Man comics have aged is that the mantra of "with great power comes great responsibility" started as comforting last words from Uncle Ben that inspired Peter, a phrase that connected him to his loved ones and made him feel powerful to an absolute curse upon his life. He burdens himself with responsibility so he can ignore the guilt of living with this power and still failing even when he tries. In the early years, you could argue that Peter taking on the responsibility empowers him and makes him stronger, but now he's fucking crushed under it. Everything that goes wrong is his responsibility because he's got this power, never mind that no one could have stopped what happened. But he should have because those words are haunting him. And other heroes notice and actively warn each other and the next generation of heroes, not every battle is yours, don't be like Spider-Man because it will break you. I love it, it's tragic, and I think it needs to kill him

i genuinely walked out of the theater after atsv not giving a fuck about what they do with peter anymore because atsv proved to me that miles will continue to be a better character with more interesting content in the next 10+ years than peter will EVER have again in his existence

Not to be one of “those” comic book readers, but every time ASM Mary Jane opens her mouth, I get a little more confused by the way some adaptations choose to write her.

Like, who even IS mcu MJ? Not this person!

Spider-Man facts and truth

Gwen Stacy, Silk, and Carlie Cooper are shit and toxic!

I love USM but I miss the old-school Spidey stores, they were the birth of a legend, a GOAT, and a hero.

I hate Zeb Wells, Nick Lowe, Joe Q, and Tom Holland for ruining our beloved wall-crawler Spider-Man. I hate Zeb Wells, Nick Lowe, Joe Q, and Tom Holland so much for it!

People who are Mary Jane haters and say that "Spider-Man should cheat on Mary Jane with Black Cat" are misogynistic pedophilic rapist pigs and phony Spider-Man fans, Black Cat is an awful character (Well, Black Cat is now because Black Cat is overrated and overhyped),

Mary Jane Watson is an awesome and underrated character.

Wells has gone too fucking far, I hate Zeb Wells for this! Fuck you, Zeb Wells!

I hate HOW Peter and Mary Jane are hated these days, I blame Joe Q, Wells, Lowe, Marvel, and all the people in the Spidey office.

Leave Peter and Mary Jane the FUCK alone!
