Winter Soldier killed Uncle Ben?

Okay — I think I’ve narrowed it down to one of two things: Spider-Man has been an agent of Hydra all along. Spider-Man has been an Inhuman all along.

Or there could be a twist — and it could be both.

podcornpodcast.com has been down for a while now

also it’d be great if these were downloadable

Hey Risbo, thanks for writing in. We were dealing with some backend server issues, but we’ve fixed it all up now!

We’re hosted on a podcasting service that lists us anywhere you get your podcasts, whether it’s Stitcher, iTunes, or even another app like Pocket Casts. You can download them all there– would you prefer a direct download link as well, though?

yeah, direct download be nice, so that i don’t have to go to “page source” and look for the mp3 file.

thanks.

Oh, god. This was . . . painful to sit though. I’m know I’m old, and listening to young extroverts work out what they’re going to say aloud for 2 minutes is torture for an old introvert like me, but is this the zenith of podcasting? I know I’m probably not the audience for this, but does anyone feel an obligation to prepare for the show’s subject.?
For some reason I can listen to Kevin Smith get high and talk about shit, but listening to these 3 get lit and free associate for 40 minutes . . .
I’m sorry, I guess this was supposed to be some kind of ironic performance piece.

I’m looking forward to this movie, very much, but…

After a string of picture perfect logos, this one is pretty damned ugly.

That logo has all the charm and dynamics of a Hallmark greeting card.

This movie is going to have to be pretty terrific to overcome some challenging hurdles:

– That ugly, patchwork logo.

– Putting Peter back in high school again does feel like reboot territory.

– Tying him into the crowded MCU from the start takes away the best parts of the original Spider-Man (for me) which was the hero who felt all alone in the world.

– “From the director of Clown’ doesn’t fill me with a lot of confidence.

– No J.K. Simmons as JJJ!

– Marisa Tomei as Aunt May?! Then, I guess Tobey Maguire is almost old enough to play Uncle Ben. (Though, if 50 is now considered of age for Peter’s aunt and uncle, Kyle Chandler would be a good choice.)

The original cast was excellent. All of them! The idea that after the third movie flopped (which had nothing to do with the cast) that they should reboot the entire thing and throw the baby out with the bath water was absurd And it’s ruined this franchise (so far.)

“And it’s ruined this franchise”

No, the fact that Amazing Spider-man 1 and 2 sucked (and Spider-man 3) is what ruined the franchise.

If any of them were worth a shit, no one would be whining like you are.

I’ll add my vote to say that logo sucks too. What were they thinking?

Intelligent analysis of what went wrong with the Amazing Spider-Man movies.

“Is this a modern Spider-Man (who inspirationally skateboards to Coldplay like all the cool kids do these days) or some kind of old fashioned throwback (Peter Parker takes pictures with an ancient film camera instead of his phone)? Is it a retread of the same old Spider-Man origin or is it really going to do bold new things with the character? Is Peter Parker a wisecracking dork or a James Dean-style (or, if you’re feeling less generous, Luke Perry-style) introverted brooder? The answers to all these questions shift from scene to scene.”

Interesting… is this the first time Spider-Man’s mask eyes have been animated?
(And will Stark hire him as a scientist?)

Trailer 2 “Captain America: Civil War” 5 Major Easter Eggs Revealed
http://zharazhar.blogspot.co.id/2016/03/what-did-we-see-in-trailer-2-captain.html

So is it accurate to say this comic is about a teenager for whom almost everyone he has ever known as well as billions of other people from the world he knew are dead and gone, and yet the comic is not at all about this truly extraordinary circumstance? Does he remember? Is he cripplingly traumatized? Or is he “over it”?

I know this isn’t a stumbling block for other readers, but I don’t think I could enjoy a book with this premise, even if I were in for a Bendis title.

No it’s a comic about a teenager that, thank to a good action, has seen himself and all the people he cared about saved and brought to this new world.

I didn’t have any hang ups about it. Nor did I find Miles (or Ganke) to be any different. I’m not sure how you can say his Dad is significantly changed when he had 4 panels of short dialogue. Just because his wife is no longer dead? Sounds like you’re rooting for victimization or believe that depth requires tragedy.

As far as the idea that he’s traumatized by circumstance, I think he’s had enough of that in his short history – dead Mom, dead then alive Peter, dead bad Uncle. He actually endured the destruction of his world in Secret Wars. To that end, Molecule Man ensured a proverbial happy ending for him.

Miles doesn’t have to mirror Peter’s tragedies to be Spider-Man. To wipe the slate clean and have him and his core family intact is refreshing. Maybe being a teen hero today will be enough of a challenge.

I passed on this. Miles Morales would be more intriguing to me if Marvel had created a new and different alter ego for him but a second a Spider-Man in the Marvel Universe continues to follow the “de-uniquing” of characters. If it works for other readers, that’s great but it’s not for me.

Everyone do yourself a favor and please pick up Vision, there’s two issues out so far (third issue hits on 1/6) and it’s really something different, but not odd for odd’s sake, just a unique narrative voice with great art too.

‘The next step will be anniversary relaunch issues: “look, it’s the 10th relaunch of this series, let’s celebrate it!”’

This is a hilarious and oddly foreseeable eventuality, and, given the sales on the current volume of Captain America (the ninth, by your count), one Marvel could have the opportunity to inaugurate in only a matter of months.

While I think the general idea of evaluating the benefit of the relaunches is sound, I do think that expectations for upticks on books from this particular relaunch might not need to be high. Marvel didn’t relaunch individual books based on the need to gain sales for that book. They relaunched everything, pretty much just on the basis of “we’re only going to do Secret Wars for a couple of months”. So while they may have taken the opportunity to rearrange some creatives, the only reason a lot of them relaunched was just because everybody was doing it. Peer pressure, as it were. What this DOES tell us is how relaunches (regardless of reason) are not as effective as they used to be.

Tom King’s work, including Vision and Omega Men, seems to be developing a habit of garnering critical praise but netting minimal sales. I think a part of this is the character driven marketing the big two are pushing. Few people are going to pick up a book that focuses on a C/D list character if you market it on the strength of said character.

If the big two marketed these no-name books as TOM KING stories, and pushed the hell out of him rather than their small potato properties, it’s possible that they’d see sales rise.

Wasn’t The Vision in that last Avengers movie?

Conventional wisdom probably dictates that The Vision charts higher than Tom King at this point. And Marvel is generally more likely to push their stable of characters over an online favorite.

I lived and participated (slightly) in the 90’s speculator bubble. Looks like it is happening again but this time, I am not buying multiple copies of every #1. Guess I learned a little something in my youth.

Tom King did write the digital smash Injustice Gods Among us based on the video game. true, but he is a best selling author.

@Tim – that logic just doesn’t hold up. Media ties in having varying effects, particularly when there’s media that’s just based on one thing (Watchmen, Walking Dead) vs media that’s based on multiple series (most superhero stuff).

I’m pretty sure it was Tom Taylor that wrote the video game comic. And a quick web search suggests that the best selling author is another person altogether.

On MIRACLEMAN: “Renumbering the title for each reprinting period has done wonders for it.”

We were just discussing this at our store ordering meeting today, as we’re being asked to order #1 & 2 of “MIracleman by Gaiman & Buckingham: The Silver Age”, where the NEW NEIL GAIMAN COMICS will be printed as issue #3 (and forward) of that series.

Interest is pretty low in the reprints (we’re somewhere in the 20 copy range at the main store), but I don’t see how I’m expected to order up on #3? How many people are going to jump on at that point? I actually think more people would grasp it if it was #25, honestly — I mean “#3” will be Neil’s ninth issue of MM, right?

Re-serializing MM was almost certainly a tactical mistake — the early issues just aren’t very good, in the context of 2015, and it created a fair amount of ennui about the character as a whole. In retrospect, they really should have just gone straight to book, monthly on the first four volumes, then did “New” MM as a #1 from the material that was supposed to be in #25 originally, and done a “#0” bumper of #23 & 24 — then they would have had some real excitement. Not now, though.

Dan, I don’t think Xavier is calling the new ASM a failure. He calls the title itself “successful.” I think he’s speaking to the diminishing returns of the constant relaunches the industry seems to be experiencing. Now that’s not a new argument, but it is an argument that the industry seems to be ignoring right now.

An Amazing Spider-Man #1 that sells fewer copies to stores than a Spider-Gwen #1 from just a few months earlier is a disappointment. Trying to pretend otherwise is kind of silly.

Mike

“the ASM #1 from last year (which was the first “ASM #1 in 25 years”

Dan Slott needs to check his dates, or his math. The Howard Mackie/John Byrne relaunch was in late 1998. But then, it is hard to keep track with all of Marvel’s renumbering…

Sorry, Carl. You’re right. Was typing too fast. I used “25 years” in an earlier post elsewhere and that was still on my mind.

*17 years.*

Still a good stretch of time though.

MBunge, I am nothing but impressed with Jason & Robbie’s success on Spider-Gwen, whether it’s their success out of the gate with Edge of Spider-Verse #2, the launch of Spider-Gwen #1 earlier in the year, or the relaunch of Spider-Gwen here. It’s a phenomenal team with a phenomenal take on the character. They deserve all the kudos and high sales they’re getting.

People can come up with whatever metrics they want to try to slam the current ASM book. Doesn’t faze me. We started out roughly in the low 50K zone. Over the course of 6 years we bucked industry trends and got our sales to go up. By the start of 2013 we regularly had both issues in the Top 10. And we’ve pretty much stayed there to this day. What’s silly is to try to paint that as a disappointment in any way.

There’s a good chunk of carry-over data missing (For example: ASM should have RYV and the previous series attached to the data), as well as several of the percentage calculations.

But I think the better comparison vis a vis ASM might be #2 — in May ’14 ASM #2 sold ~124k, compared to ~111k here, or about 10% down. That, I think, clearly shows the diminishing return of the constant industry-wide relaunches.

-B

Yes, I’ll put back those Spider-man numbers back. with all those relaunches and SW mini interruptions, the back numbers can look a little messy. i’ll try to clean that up a little.
Opps, catch a mistake: that’s Mark badger in the Dr strange collection comment, not Mike, sorry about that..

And Dan, I don’t remember ever saying that ASM was in disarray or that I slammed the book. As Alex pointed out, I even said several times that the normal sales on ASM is quite high and very good and that the Spider-Man franchise is at higher level in years. But calling the #1 relaunch an amazing success, I’ll not say that. It can’t be all praise.
And who cares about the TOP 10 positions? Sales numbers are what’s important. A title with less tahn 100K can be number #1 on month and would have been # 12 once month before. that’s not important.

And big thanks to Alex for his editing and the rapidity whith which he did it!

I’d say the same carryover data also for Iron Man, and probably Inhumans. You’re missing % changes on Spidey ’99 #2, 1602 Angela #4, and Figment #2. Since that is Figment *2*, ‘d also probably add historical carryover from series 1, were it me.

But that’s nit-picking )

-B

Dan Slott thinks the last ASM #1 was boosted by the movie ASM2? If you want to talk about poor sales, that thing bombed domestically and led to the entire film series to be rebooted again. Not sure he really wants to associate that thing with his book.

Not sure why he doesn’t want to be satisfied with the fact he produces a generally good and high-selling monthly title. Whining over diminishing returns is quite petty.

Skottie, I’m not saying ASM2 boosted sales. We came out right before anyone had seen it. I’m saying that the millions and millions of advertising dollars that plastered Spider-Man’s face around the world– JUST when we releasing a new AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #1 played an ENORMOUS amount into the sales of that first issue. That climate got my dumb face on TV for interviews– and on Page 3 of the Daily News. It got the “triumphant return of Peter Parker” in the comics ONTO the news, in magazines, and all over. And a LOT of that was due to the HYPE of a big screen movie that was coming out. That’s not rocket science. :)

I didn’t pick up New Avengers due to the cost for the week piling up; glad to hear some of these titles were hits. I like a jokey Avengers book to a certain extent. Secret Avengers went a little far for me, but Bendis’ Avengers struck the right tone.

Secret Avengers with Kot sort of developed further as it progressed — there were some real dramatic moments peppered in with that really interesting Modok subplot that was just absurd.

How many pages of Amazing 1 and Avengers 1 are simply preview? Tha would really be disapointing if, in the end, those extra size made the reader pay extra for only preview pages.

They’re not preview pages, they’re all original stories. But he’s they’re just acting as preview pages with no real need to not read them and just wait to buy the actual books.

Hey what happened to Superior Iron-Man? Was there resolution to that idea, or is he still ‘as much of a jerk as usual as a result of whatever that crossover series decided’?

ANAD Point One #1 gives you Agents of SHIELD, Carnage, Contest of Champions, Rocket Racoon & Groot, Daredevil and All-New Inhumans.

Amazing Spider-Man #1 gives you separate stories of Web-Warriors (5 pgs), Spider-Man 2099 (5pgs), Silk (5pgs), Spider-Woman (5pgs), and Miles Morales Spider-Man (7 pgs).

Avengers #0 gives you Avengers, Uncanny Avengers, New Avengers, Ultimates, A-Force, and Squadron Supreme.

Out of about 20 titles previewed with this first wave, I was looking at 7 titles that were covered in some form or another by these books (even though I read all of them).

I’m walking away with 3.

“Pass, stopping here with all the Spider-verse books except Silk, Spider-Woman and Spider-Man 2099”

So by “all except” you mean half.

I had the same question about Iron Man’s shift from “Superior” to “Invincible;” and I’m really surprised by the thumbs down to Spidey – I thought that was a dynamite first issue, well-written and gorgeous to boot.

The solo titles were all pretty good. Never been a fan of paying for what are essentially previews.

Hey, that’s Patsy Walker!

So, now they’re making Blade a woman. #stupid

Watts appears to have directed a bunch of Onion stuff, so he has comedic sensibilities, it would seem.

As long as there’s no origin…

I’m guessing there will also be a Peter Parker Spidey comic later this year or early next year. It’d be a strange decision to retire him when Parker/Spidey is going to be in the Civil War movie.

Well the image has Parker Industries still in the background so Peter may just want to be CEO for awhile.

[…] Miles Morales finds a New Home in Spider-Man and the 616 Universe […]

I find it interesting that they insist Peter was raised in a ‘middle class household’ now, as Aunt May’s financial struggles were a long-time motivating factor for Peter to take up freelance photography and contribute to the home’s financial support. And, given our modern age’s increased economic disparity, I would better expect stereotypical Peter to be raised in a struggling lower-class household instead. But I suppose Spider-Man is fiction, after all.

I don’t see what the story is here. “Peter Parker must stay the character he’s been for 50 years,” isn’t that outlandish of an edict.

PS: I always thought he’s raised on the lower end of middle class, until Uncle Ben dies, then Aunt May struggles.

Yeah, this was another non-story Gawker wanted to use for hype.

And I agree, I always viewed Peter was lower-middle class. Uncle Ben’s death obviously triggered financial problems, but I didn’t consider him RAISED as lower class.

Headlines that would have made just as much sense:

“Spider-Man Can’t Be More Than A Casual Social Drinker or Have His First Costume Professionally Tailored”
“Spider-Man Can’t Be A Woman or Have Been Raised By His Grandpa”
“Spider-Man Can’t Be Raised In West Bend, Indiana or Have Steve As His Middle Name”

Gawker naturally cherry picked the “heterosexual” and “Caucasian” parts out of the long list of established traits and focused on those in an attempt to dishonestly make Marvel seem racist and homophobic, because that’s the kind of thing that lying clickbait peddlers do.

Well…..this is Spider Man. Most of us know this. Good. No problems here.

Previous commenters have hit it fairly well, movie Spider-Man must be portrayed like the character he is based on. Spidey is a cultural icon as he is. Glad I didn’t catch the Gawker exploit on this non-issue issue. Also, Nick Fury being portrayed by Samuel Jackson was no “risk” for Marvel. He and most of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is based on the “Ultimates” comic book universe, and the artist(‘s) in those comics portrayed Nick Fury as a black male looking as much like Samuel Jackson as their artistic talents would allow. All of us Marvel geeks already knew Ultimate Nick Fury is Samuel Jackson and probably would have been let-down if any other actor had been cast in that role.

Can we stop the idea of “Let’s take this existing character that has been popular for so many years and change them into something completely different”? Create a new character. Quit picking and choosing existing characters with the intent of changing them to fit the whims of people who write for the internet.

Sounds about right to me.

Marvel Comics has plenty of diversity and you would know that Alexander Yu, if you took the time to look. Sunfire is Japanese, Colossal is Russian, Power Man is Black, White Tiger is Hispanic, The Black Panther is Black, Storm is Black, the Blue Marvel is Black. The Falcon is Black just to name a few. The more popular characters shouldn’t be fundamentally changed from their origin simply to make minorities, or the Left, feel better. The people who followed comics as kids grew up with these characters the way they are. It’s bad enough the Hollywood Left see fit to alter the characters origins or stories because they think they can do a better job.

Very disappointing. For years I’ve been hoping against hope that they would finally make a Spider-Man movie where he would “sell / distribute illegal drugs” but now I see those closed minds of Hollywood will never change.

Anybody who wants to see how cool Spiderman could really be, without all this studio political correctness, need but go to You Tube and type in “Turkish Spiderman”.

Frankly, I turned off the one before last, because it was sooo boring and then I didn’t even bother see the last one but I can honestly say that if in the next one, Spiderman was female, hard drinking, hard smoking, gay, killing & torturing people, having sex with minors and using foul language, I would absolutely go back to check it out.

As someone who identifies with the left and with liberal ideologies, I would agree with the stipulations that Sony gave Marvel. While I believe that there needs to be more representation of minorities in comic books and the movies that go along with them, I believe that they should be new characters, such as is the case of Miles Morales as the first Black Spiderman or Falcon as the First Black Captain America. Even the new Thor isn’t “Thor transformed into a woman”, it’s a new character who becomes worthy to have the title of Thor. Changing Peter Parkers race, gender, or sexual orientation would fundamentally change the iconic character many are familiar with, whereas having a black Spiderman (Miles Morales), a Hispanic Spiderman (Spiderman 2099) or even Spider-Girl (the daughter of Peter Parker and MJ I believe, a character whose story I loved) helps to add representation to that character Spiderman without changing the character or story of Peter Parker as an individual. We have the potential to simultaneously expand the Marvel Universe AND give great minority representation if we can develop new characters to add into the mix instead of trying to completely change the old ones. I am sure that there are some who may disagree with me, and this is entirely my opinion on the matter, but I feel that it has some merit.

Peter Parker/Spiderman was invented as Sony’s email’s stated, but that doesn’t mean it has to stick to the many aspects of the original character. I wouldn’t be mad about a Star Wars remake with a Native American Luke Skywalker. Stop being babies.

[…] http://www.comicsbeat.com/sonys-and-marvels-peter-parkers-must-be-white-and-straight/ […]

I agree with you, Ram. Comic book characters are being rebooted all the time now. Change to race, sexuality, or sex is no different than changing an origin story. Comic book movies and TV shows are never fully faithful to the original conception of the character. I don’t always like the changes, but I’m open to seeing what they’ve got. For me, the main point is that Sony is creating racist. Notice there are no restrictions to Peter being any nationality, or from any planet. Or to Peter being of any profession, or any particular personality attribute, other than moral (he could be a rageoholic, or a business mogul, or whatever). He can be a woman named Peter. He could be transgender. He anything, as long as he is WHITE. They slipped in the tiny caveat about homosexuality, yes. But the point is that Peter could be a female crystal-ball reading three-armed half-snake with a hundred other different personality attributes that would change Peter’s character more fundamentally than the stupid color of his skin, people. Sony would be fine with that. But being BLACK. Well, now…that’s just beyond the pale. That’s into the realm of the unacceptable. I’m not saying anyone would, or should, try these changes. But out of the millions of changes that could be made to Peter’s character, that one is restricted?! Come on…

According to the hacked Sony emails, they were unhappy with the box office of their second Spider-Man movie (although they didn’t address the fact that by killing off a beloved character that might not make people want to see the film multiple times in the theater) but Sony did want to recast the character as older, to be a high school teacher, not a high school student. But Marvel is going in the other direction and wanting Spider-Man to be younger than any of the previous movie versions.

Too bad. Asa can act but, he is a bit of a jerk.

yeah! because 3rd times a charm right! this will fail…you had it right the first time…then ya fukt up! i wouldn’t watch this if it meant a blow job in the theater…

WHY DOESNT ANYONE FUCKING REALIZE OR LISTEN TO THE FACT THAT IN CIVIL WAR SPIDER MAN IS 30!!!!!! HE HAS A WIFE AND A CHILD!!!!!!

@Max Truth I only half agree. The first movie was alright, the second movie was great. But Tobey Macquire as Spider-man was a very s***t choice. Andrew Garfield was much better as SM. I think TM was good a Peter, but AG was better as Spider-man. Also the third spider-man movie was a colossal turd.

@Matt you do realize the MCU is loosely based on the comics? I read the Civil War comics recently, and there’s just no way it can be adapted even remotely accurate. there’s way too many super heroes, a lot of which Marvel don’t own the rights to. And honestly I think the MCU will do the civil war, in terms of interest, better. the comic version was boring as s*** to me

Uh, chill out, Matt. The cinematic universe doesn’t have to, and certainly hasn’t, been a mirror of the comic books.
Having him be younger may work out well as it makes it more believable that he’d be impressionable where both Cap and Stark are trying to either mentor him or take him under their wing.

Also, in the comics, Spidey is just now getting his child through all the Secret Wars/Battleworld events, as in normal continuity back after they killed off Ben Reilly, MJ “lost” the baby (alluded to being kidnapped, and never seen or heard about again until recently in One More Day when Mephisto made certain revelations known, which were then retconned).
Capslock isn’t your friend. Get your facts straight and stop being so narrow-minded.

The new spiderman movie(s) is/are going to fucking suck.

Finally, a choice I can see the logic behind. Never had a big problem with the others but this one kinda makes spider sense.

this is so WRONG on so many levels. Enter the “Spider-Kid”. Thanks for ruining one of my favorite characters, Sony you have proved yourself a disappointment once more.

Seriously! do we need another interpretation of Spider-Man in high-school?? two is more than enough! Please stop ruining this character.

I mean realy…..who cares?!!

He must have nailed the audition. Now hopefully they’ll give him a script that works. We’ve had enough Spiderman films that stunk.

What is wrong with all of you? They will eventually remake the Spider-Man movies for a 4th time in 2028. That’s when the movies will be awesome.

I’m just really happy Spidey is gonna appear in MCU

Can’t wait until 2029 when they reboot the Spider-Man franchise for a 4th time! That’s when it will be awesome! Jennifer Lawrence plays Peter Parker’s grandmother.

At this rate Spider-Man is going to be rebooted so many times the 2099 setting will be contemporary.

I have been a fringe comic book reader since civil war. I was so pumped for that storyline, but it fell flat for me. It was interesting watching which heroes took which side, but ultimately i thought i was let down. I bought every issue related to civil war and i felt ripped off like it never really amounted to anything as epic as i thought it was. Im sure movies will be better. Definitely not thrilled to see another spiderman and i did think Garfield was better. First two were the best and all the rest were avg. if i have to see the origin story again ill puke

Crap.
Why are these producers obsessed with the idea that spider-man has to be a teeny-bopper? Are they tuned into anything? Anything at all?
We don’t need to see a little kiddy version of Spidey. The character works just fine as a YA. Always has. Spidey’s appeal isn’t based on how much high school kids can relate to him, it’s everything else about the character. And now we have a fifth grader playing the role.

dude looks like a fag. this spiderman is going to be shit like the amazing spiderman
