Oh, Otto. :-(

[brerrabbit]

Otto you probably should had ease her into explaining that to her instead of telling her all at once.

[owlbrigade1]

How long have they been dating? Because while I am all for honesty, you don't have to disclose all your secrets early on. Yes, once you've established that it actually is going to be a serious long term relationship you ought to disclose stuff, but it is okay to keep some secrets early on. Also, yeah, ease the person into a big disclosure. Preferably do it in public too, a date in a nice restaurant, a picnic in the park, that sort of thing. It reassures them that there are people around if they need them (and also basic human nature is not to raise a big fuss in public too).

Otto should let this relationship go though, use it as a learning experience, he done screwed up and she is too freaked; it is going nowhere.

Knowing Otto, he's going to try to keep going. Or perhaps do some nuttier ideas....

Otto: "Perhaps if I can use a mind-wipe drug...let her forget so we can start over...."

Anna: "In what world is wiping someone's mind a logical alternative?!"

Otto: "You really didn't talk to Parker that much, did you?"

[agharta75]

I want to see the rest of that conversation.

[pteppic]

🤦‍♂️

[nightauditguy]

Revealing who you really are and the science behind it is more of a 4th date reveal.

[lonewolf23k]

Well, I do believe he's a Spider-Man now. He's definitely got the Parker Luck.

[zachbeacon]

It does seem like he had better luck with women as Doc Ock than he does as Spidey.

[beeyo]

I guess I kind of get it, in a very naive learn-from-your-mistakes kind of way. Instead of hiding who he actually is like he did with Ana, he's going for straight forward honestly. Still though. The hell, Otto?

[mazway_75]

The best part? He's going to blame ANNA for all this!

"You told me to be more forward and approachable!"

"That does not mean tell her who you are on the first date! Good Lord, no wonder even the Hulk could outwit you!"

[thenicochan]

This book seems unreasonably good.

Anna is awesome. She's adorable and I like her writing. I especially like that she hits a lot of boxes we don't see very often in terms of race, age and body type.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

...and common sense.

[mazway_75]

Otto claiming "the Sinister Six" was "what the young folks call trolling" is utter genius.

[zachbeacon]

"Are you not 'triggered', fools?"

[wizardru]

Okay, I LOLed. That's kind of perfect.

[zachbeacon]

Thanks. Ever since he got the Richard Spencer haircut* and joined Hydra, I can't help but see Otto as one of those Alt-Right types that shouts "debate me" at people.

*Not that the bowlcut did him any favors.

[powerpb13]

Otto as Anna Maria's "henpecked husband" is something I didn't know I wanted.

[thanekos]

" [Doctor Octopus is] a criminal on the Ten Most Wanted list! "
" Five. And the Red Skull has an unfair advantage. "

His assertions of Superiority are becoming unthinkingly reflexive.

[dr_archeville]

Though that does beg the question: who are the other three on that list? Doctor Doom, Magneto, and... ?

[cyberghostface]

Under Bendis Purple Man is #3 on the most wanted list after Doom and Magneto.

[lbd_nytetrayn]

If the next Spiderverse movie doesn't feature Superior...

[mastermahan]

God, I'd love to see him interact with Liv.

[silverhammerman]

He seems like such a shoe-in for inclusion and I'm curious how they'll handle the character's origin and whether he'll be a hero or possibly a villain/traitor.
