More art. See the itsy bitsy teenie weenie polka dot one piece? Yeah, I mean, that's what guys like.

This is an old drawing! I actually drew it using the extended monitor as a canvas, which I used to find better for full-body sketches, as opposed to the main horizontal monitor, which works for talking heads and whatnot. But nowadays I think the main monitor's better cause I can make the art more detailed. Hmm...

Speaking of talking heads (psycho killer, fa fa fa fa fa), I was talking about Mousevel yesterday, and how the movies developed the same problem as the comics - i.e., being too convoluted.

That is one thing I don't love about Marvel comics, or superheroes in general - the obsession with continuity and the shared universe saps the drama out of them by having characters with different power levels and realities interact. Why should I care about Spiderman having trouble fighting some goons to retrieve aunt May's medication, when Adam Warlock can just make the goons disappear by blinking? If that's the point of the Adam Warlock character, why does he need Spiderman to join him in the fight against Thanos and Nebula on that floating space rock with Death's faces carved onto it?

And more importantly, there isn't much of a point of keeping something a mystery in the Marvel Universe because there's so much magic floating around. A more grounded superhero story might milk some tension of Spidey finding out there's like, a supervillain secretly hanging out at the Daily Bugle, for instance (I dunno, I can't think of interesting Spiderman ideas), but in the same world where Thor can come back from the dead every fifteen minutes, it's not too surprising to find out Norman Osborn ressurected too. It's like that H. G. Wells quote, 'If anything is possible, nothing is interesting.'

Another issue with Spiderman comics, as much as I love them, is the paradoxical relationship they have with plot development - Spiderman books in particular, and Marvel being led by their example, made sure to never let the story get to stagnant. Circunstances had to change with a certain frequency - Peter graduated high school, got a different girlfriend, got dumped even, moved away from aunt May's, had supervillains find out his identity, had a girlfriend die, changed jobs, changed powers, turned into a monster... and so on, too much happened during those first forty years for me to count.

But the story changed so much, it prevented the character from evolving. He got a girlfriend, but she died, so he didn't marry. He got a new place, but the Green Goblin destroyed it, so he had to move. Aunt May got a job, but Dr. Octopus manipulated her into a marriage, so she quit. Got a new costume, but it turned out to be a living creature so he got it back.

Even the Mary Jane marriage, which lasted over a decade, had to be abandoned, just so Peter Parker could be the same loser he was in the sixties. The story changes so much all it means is nothing good can ever happen to the character. Character development doesn't just mean bad stuff.

That's kind of a similar problem I have with Game of Thrones-type fantasy, where, in an attempt to portray a medieval-era fantasy accurately, the creators end up making a hellhole where joy doesn't exist. Even though the characters themselves don't know how much better the real world is, they know they're missing out on something.
