I guess you missed the point I was making. CIS and PIS are terms fans deem to certain situations in comics. For example, the Spiderman fight with Firelord. Did the writer ever say that Spiderman should not be able to ko Firelord, or did fans determine this to be an instance of PIS which in doing so made their opinion more valid than the writers.In these fights that we put two characters in there is numerous amounts of time where we regard our opinions, the fans, as holding more weight than what is written. So in the question of is Spiderman often affected by cis and pis in his fights, then the answer is yes, but can we disregard them because of this, no, because then we would be ignoring the majority of his fights.
And yes, there a many times that Spiderman did lose because of pis or cis. Right now I am reading through the entirety of Amazing Spiderman, and this is the case.
Of course they do, but it can simply be called shit, and hold the same weight. We just made a fancy name for it.
Why would the writer say that? He set it up. And Pis is subjective. For some, nothing is Pis, and for others, it's a common answer.
Of course, but that's mostly for one time occurrences. Like Spider-Man KO'ing Firelord. Or Spider-Man cement trucking Hulk. Consistency can never be overridden no matter how much someone cries (Unless someone absolutely f*cks up everytime).
So, how do we acknowledge the fact that pis/cis play a part in a lot of what Spidey does, but at the same time ignore it? Why even bring it up if that's the case? Pis is often used to disregard things... and if cis plays a part in his losses... well, then it's relevant here anyway.
And writers still>us. It's just when writers f*ck up, that we believe ourselves superior.
OK, cool. What kind of pis are we talking about here, anyway? Getting hit, and knocked out; or running out of breathe underwater or something?
So, anyway, do you consider Cap to be a match for Spider-Man, or do you consider Spider-Man to stomp Cap.
