Good take.

I'm going try to sorting into basic categories. I like the idea of S-Tier, as something above A-Tier.

S-Tier
Doctor Octopus
Kraven the Hunter
Norman Osborn
Venom

I have seen a lot of movies.

Recent films that are on my list that I just haven't seen yet would be War of the Planet of the Apes, Toni Erdmann, Del Toro's Pinocchio, Turning Red, To Leslie, King...

People may be talking past one another because we've got different definitions of what it means for corporate greed to drive inflation, and the commentary are a bit vague as how to much of it is the...

I do like the idea of long-form storytelling with Peter in high school (it would be fine in college.)

It's a series that could work. It's a shame that they've tried it quite a few times, and the...

Giuliani's friends seem to be lying about how and when he was served.

If I'm having a hard time seeing Spider-Man as one story, I'm not really going to view the Marvel Universe that way. No one's really expected to read every Marvel comic. I'm aware of one guy who did...

"Blue dog" Democrats would stop legislation if Democrats to their left don't have a majority.

If there are 61 Democratic Senators, and 8 of them are blue dogs, the other Democrats don't need their...

Marvel has a press release about a new ongoing series.

Jonah is plausibly a top ten all-time comic book villain/ antagonist, but also someone who doesn't count as a Spider-Man rogue.

This is an interesting question.

One way to think about it is who are the villains in various montages, or who you might use in a generic scene. Obvious choices would be Doctor Octopus, Green...

I have addressed DW-Nominate scores before. Once was in response to you.



You replied to the post, but you edited out that section.

The DW-Nominate score measures party line votes, which...

One of the biggest political trends of the last decade was that white liberals moved to the left, so that's a big part of the polarization of white people.

I don't think he was.

The chart shows that Japan's inflation rate has consistently been lower than the US's. In 2023, the gap was smallest, but it was still higher in the US. The gap was greater...

Spider-Man is a major character within the Marvel Universe, but the reason JMS' plan was rejected was more about making sense of continuity rather than the value of the story.

I'm not here as a...

On the heroes one, Angel and Medusa seem the oddest choices. They're not solo characters, nor do they add significant diversity. Nor are they prominent in adaptations. I would substitute Luke Cage...

As an aside, they would distinguish between Saxon and Celt, to exclude the Irish from the definition.

They're agreeing to this quickly. ABC seems to have hosts set for September.

I think it's fine to have an early debate.

Republicans are playing into Biden's hands here, consistently downplaying...

Biden has called for two debates with Trump, although not the way the commission called for it.

They don't need the money. They don't want more superhero projects competing with the MCU. If it bombs, it hurts Marvel's brand. If it's a hit, it makes Marvel look dumb for selling it.

Spider-Man 2 had the good fortune to come out on a holiday on the second week of the promotion when awareness was at its peak.

The first one did play in my regional theater in Queens, but I had to...

As a show it may get very convoluted.

The movies focus on Miles, so we see things through that perspective.

I don't think it would work as some kind of anthology, since there would be so many...

The Marvel Universe can be a story, but that's distinct from Spider-Man.

Of course Marvel wants to have its cake and eat it too. Everyone wants to do that.

A new point is that the way we read...
