All I'll say... Rek-Rap is PARC-PARC.

[ARkadelphia]

She's pursued Peter before while she was in a relationship.

And it does feel hinted there is still unrevealed information, including the kind of answers Lowe has given to fan questions.

Is that really a positive?

[Tuck]

Is that really a positive?

I'm saying it's in character.

And it's not a positive to stay with your second choice out of obligation. Whatever's on the page, Wells described the story as two people who want to be together, but can't be. So . . .

So, we're just skipping over "now that Spider-Man has been eaten?" Wells loves people getting eaten. Lol.

Also, I really wonder what some of you expected Lowe to say in a reply. Like, did you really expect "oh ****, you're right and Paul is awful. I'll get Zeb to kill him off immediately" because it kinda feels that you'd not accept anything else.

I know he wants to give the impression of balance, but we I him I'd honestly just skip that kind of letter unless I had a strong way to articulate why the character has been written well. But then, we live in a Twitter word so there's not really an excuse for him to be unable to blast off a decent response in few words.

I sure wouldn't expect that, if anything because if Paul could be categorized as awful, even THAT would be fleshing his character a bit (he's very nearly a blank slate as is, that's a point I've gone back and to again because I see the kind of responses he elicits and I'm just going "can't say I can muster that, either").

I know he wants to give the impression of balance

This is pretty much why I brought that up - if he wants to keep up the whole "Sorry you didn't like the book, hope you have a nice day" front [which, BTW, is a good way to go about things... but not when you seem to literally be fishing for every last comment that disparages you while your own editorial work suffers], if he said the guy implied Paul did things willingly, his answer would be beyond reproach, IMO.

I do get the sense that Paul secretly hates himself and has a crippling level of guilt over what he was involved in.

Probably partially why he was fine with Peter killing him.

Was he fine with it? I think he said "I'm not going anywhere.".

"You do what you gotta do."

[Garlador]

"You do what you gotta do."

Probably just a Futurama fan.
