Sure, all of them.

Maybe the discussion r.e. the Marvel comics universe's sliding timescale and it's relevance to the Marvel brass's decision to regress Spider-Man with the OMD retcon needs it's own thread? It's...

It literally got locked into the franchise decades ago. The question is (or should be) is it worth Marvel going against the grain in the main comics by maintaining an anti-brand status quo?

What cover? I'm really lost here.

I was going off the chatter I was finding online, not to mention the uptick post-Future State and during Batgirls.



I'll concede that Tim fans seem less likely to be onboard with the idea.

How did we get to overanalyzing the sliding timescale?

Homophobia will always be a thing, but I thought the ship was popular with fans?

Dunno; was finding the "ask Dan Slott aything" tangents more interesting than the original point.

Agreed. I think how one reads it can be very subjective, hence why some people read into it more. Confirmation bias is a certainly a thing; if you approached the series with imagined headcanon that...

I think most people who were shipping them and pointing out stuff that could be read romantically were doing it knowing that it was a fan re-read of stuff, esp. if one already liked the idea of the...

Course. Heck, I'm a fan of it for as long as I can remember. That said, I always took it as a non-canon thing (e.g. "I think they'd be perfect for each other if DC decided to have them fall in...

Think that's kinda all it ever has been (and I'm saying that as a card-carrying Cass/Steph fan).

The Steph/Cass ship was always based on reading into details (and helped that Cass doesn't have an official love interest and Steph is broken up with Tim as often as not), so there's always a degree...

Makes sense. Steph was shown taking an interest in someone else, which would be counterproductive if she was supposed to fall for Cass and the Steph/Cass ship was always a projected subtext (whatever...

Wait and see; I thought the Hobbit movies were alright, so I'm not opposed to more due to thinking that the series has already declined. I guess my most nuanced opinion is that I really don't think...

Hope that's a good thing.

To quote the old Parks and Rec meme, I don't know what this post is and at this point I'm too afraid to ask.

Dunno, always seemed to me like Steph really came into her own after breaking up with Tim and Tim's handling the breakup really makes it seem like she deserves better. Just saying.

I do get that any attempt break up Peter and MJ is going to be a no-go from day one and rejected by the fans, but, even if it was a doomed idea, what the heck was Marvel thinking in executing it like...

You talking about a Black Cat or Catwoman solo?

Sorry, come again?



So, then what is the takeaway from the situation, esp. in regards to the ongoing OMD controversy and how the post-2007 ASM and USM 2.0 fit into it?

Until there's a tell-all about the making of the run (if there ever is one), I couldn't say. Wells did go on record at the beginning that he wanted to tell a story about Spider-Man's life hitting...

Yeah, if you had to choose between the two, Steph is better off with Cass (and that does fit better with DC's plans as of late), but having all three in the same setting does make sense (even if...

Extremely borderline example (believe me, I do understand this), but, if you like filmmaker Werner Hozag, back in '04, he was the subject of a project called Incident at Loch Ness documenting a...

I assume that the deciding factor is that Well's story has MJ chained to Paul. Everything the Powers That Be have been saying indicates that popularity has nothing to do with it. Course, I might be...
