Now about Gwen Stacy...she just went and had sex with Norman? WTF? *Pulls hair out* Beo-atch! I never thought I'd say this, but I'm glad she died. >=\

I was pissed when I read that. They had an affair and she got pregnant for Norman. She had twins who accelerate in age because of the goblin gas in their blood stream. That was a stupid decision on the writers part. Whats next, are we going to find out that Uncle Ben was a closet pedophile. They destroyed her reputation. At least now there won't be as many debates on who was better for Peter,"Mary Jane or Gwen."

Wow. That was totally unnecesary. Pregnant too, huh? It just keeps on getting worse, doesn't it? This revelation totally ruins the impact of her death to me. Innocence betrayed by Parker's secret dual-life? Nah. She was a beotch. Parker need not cry for her, she had it coming for getting involved with Norman in the first place.

Also, According to "Sins past" she was planning on telling Peter and wanted him to help raise her kids. This is suppose to be the real reason the GG killed her. The problem is that it destroyed one of the great dynamics of Spider man, whether or not Peter would choose Mary Jane or Gwen if he had too. In the ep, the children are around the same age as Peter because of the defect in their growth. The girl actually tries to sleep with Peter even though shes basically a 9 yr old in a 26 yr olds body.

What I didnn't like was the fact that Peter was chosen by the spider totem. it takes from the uniqueness of the character in the fact that his powers are not an accident, but in fact by grand design.

i actually enjoyed that part of the story, considering it gave some depth to the background personality which made spider-man such an ideal superhero. the rest of it, with the gatekeeper and the great big spider who wanted to eat ezekiel or peter or whatever he wanted to do, i could've done without.

I agree it was an interesting alternative to the Science nerd principles Peter had clung to ✅

I think you're the only one who didn't like the return of Colossus 😐

And as for Bucky's return, if Brubaker didn't do it, then it would have been garbage, but because he did, its awesome 😄

I love both characters, it's just I hate The Revolving Door of Death that is Marvel. it's way more so than DC. I love Colossus, and Bucky's Return was well writtan, it's just annoying, ya know?

Any event that causes a change only to be retconned immediately afterwards. "This will change the course of the whole comic book industry for a full FOUR ISSUES!!!" lol

It's even worse when you know without a shadow of doubt it's going to be retconned. Death of Superman comes to mind. Death of Cap too.

Difference is, retconed or not, Death of Superman was actually really well done. As was the imposters and his subsequent resurrection.

Whereas, Cap's death was contrived and we're not sure how it's going to turn out. (Though a retcon is likely. I think it's an LMD......)

I'm a big Superman fan, and I hated the death of Superman. Doomsday, should never have beaten the entire league, let alone Superman. 'Nuff Said. 😐

I was about to say the same thing but the other way around ✅

Superman being physically beaten to death was a good idea. It's not something your average person would ever expect to see.

and what, per-say, would the average person expect to see 😐 It was all bloody half assed. Doomsday was such a plot tool

Superman not being physically overpowered? The average joe who dislikes Superman usually cites the fact that he's "invincible" as a reason for his/her dislike. Now comic geeks like us can name dozens of characters who can beat Supes but I know a lot of people who think he's the end all, be all superhero so seeing him getting physically manhandled and subsequently killed was a sight to see.

Ha you talk rubbish.

Cap's death pwned Superman's death, why? 'cause Brubaker's hat owns 😬

I actually really liked the Death of Superman...but I think the death of Cap is just such a $ deal with no other point that its just kind of stupid.
