Amazing Spider-Man #673

[flint_marko]

Peter goes after Strange, demanding to know how Carlie could have uncovered his identity after his spell.



The thing he has to do is give MJ the antidote, since she still has her spider-powers.

Also, Kaine is now scarless, and from the looks of it I'm guessing he's going to be the new Scarlet Spider. I liked what they did with Kaine when they brought him back (before 'killing' him off), but I'm not too crazy about prettifying him and making him some sort of superhero. And why tease the possibility of bringing Ben back?

And Julia Carpenter, the new Madame Web (I still don't understand why they had to kill off the old one and make her the new one) apologizes to Peter about the loss that's to come.

Alright, fair enough.

I did read what they posted, btw. I don't agree with it and think it's kinda crap, but I will abide by the ruling. Please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to stir shit. I'm just trying to get a feel of what is going on.

I'm not trying to be sexist. I just always use the term "bitch" as a way of saying "Hey, you're being a absolute asshat. It's just easier to say you're being a bitch.". I've used the term often around my fellow female friends without issue. I never thought of it as being anything misogynistic in the current time we live in. because I thought people had grown past that. (not meant as a jab to anyone here...I'm really just saying that)

So what I should have said is that Carlie is being a self-righteous pissant, right?

"It's just easier to say you're being a bitch."

There's something ironic about saying this on a thread about Peter Parker, the dude who (when written well) was legendary for wanting to do the right thing, no matter how far from "easy" it was for him. But, yeah. In short: You know now that most woman posters on s_d have different standards about acceptable speech than your real-life friends, and in this context, your second version of your issues with a fictional female character are going to go over better than your first version did.

Your comments here are great.

Thank you. I was especially proud of "lizard-brained." :p

You know, profanity really is limiting. So few people ever get creative with it.

Re: Mod Warning

I encourage everyone out there to find work in a field rife with unsafe conditions, tons of filth, low pay, brutal hours, a hellish commute, contradictory instructions, employers so paranoid about petty theft that they make the security people at Fort Knox look laid-back, and numerous cockroaches* (both living and dead).

If that doesn't bring out your creative side vis-a-vis profanity, nothing will. ;)

*And I don't mean my co-workers. They were mostly okay.

My part time job has inspired many a wilde-eyed, creative rant.

Employment, like fandom, goes a long way towards teaching us that It's Never Just You™.

Re: Mod Warning

It's the people. What do we need them for, again?

Re: "No Tellin' What They Just Might Do..."

[cleome45]

So they can be the subject of songs like this.

;)

Re: "No Tellin' What They Just Might Do..."

[schmevil]

Ha ha ha. I have to remind myself of this on a daily basis.

Re: "No Tellin' What They Just Might Do..."

[stubbleupdate]

Not song like this?

Re: "No Tellin' What They Just Might Do..."

[cleome45]

I was singing along by the end. :D

I will totally mention as much to my counselor when I start sessions next week.

(Here. Have a cookie.)
