For those who missed the message at the end - this video directly leads into my Superior Spider-Man video. If you get confused at the end, go watch that video next. At some point I’ll update this video, covering the post-Secret Wars era of Spider-Man and beyond. Also I still don't know what happened in Spencer's run and quite frankly I don't think he did either, so I'll probably make a separate video on it as well.

Any chance you can cover on Guy Gardner's Warrior series? It's really underrated series since he's well known being Green Lantern, But Guy's ring began to alternate because of his interference with Hal Jordan's Parallax. He got this new suit, which he never liked and this began new series for him just for temporary and he went back being Green Lantern.

The funniest thing about the Kindred arc is that I've yet to see an accurate summery of what happend because the story contradicts itself and everything else every issue by the end. Hell I've seen people assume events incorrectly because that would be the coherent explanation. So if you do make that video, I highly recommend double checking the details and presenting it as is rather than trying to present it coherently. It's an experience.

I do love how far the idea of Spiderman and Peter Parker is pushed. A LOT of the dynamics Spiderman has are mainly focused on the idea of how people look at him and how they look at Peter. Jamason likes Peter, hates Spiderman Flash hates Peter, LOVES Spiderman Aunt May loves Peter, neutral on Spiderman And the public kind of shows this in full force, when Spiderman does something wrong he's lambasted by Jamason and everyone who hates him. When he does something truly amazing you'll see Flash there to compliment him. But Aunt May is kind of the outlier that matters MOST. Since when SHE compliments Spiderman despite how little she cares you know he did something truly good. It's almost like a dopamine hit with how each of the characters are used. At the end of a comic we see them there, telling us how the general community feels about Spiderman, whether bad or good.

I couldn't help but think about how he made a deal with the devil at the end of the day because of he fails to make the right choice many times, and it's poetic he dies an unsung hero who kinda did sell his soul to the devil metaphorically bu bargaining with him in the first place. Also from a meta perspective it's sad how marvel forced their golden child to do such terrible things and to die so unceremoniously and yet it does add to the depth of the text regarding his entire publication history and life as a fictional character.

This kind of mindset really bothers me. OMD was just bad writing, plain and simple. The idea of Peter making a deal with the devil is insane, and it shouldn't be in comics period, that's WHY it's bad writing. It bothers me because Peter literally died in ASM 700, and people used OMD as an excuse to justify it. He asked himself "What did I do to deserve this?", and in short, he didn't. Peter was a victim of Otto's plan to steal Peter's body and leave him for dead. There's no hidden meaning or moral ambiguity, Otto was just a criminal that got away with murdering someone using his own cancer-ridden body. I've seen friends and family members succumb to cancer over time, NO ONE deserves that. The fact that Slott weaponized cancer just to sell a comic book is disgusting, and people trying to argue that he deserved it after OMD is even worse.

The spiderman story has always been a favorite of mine not only because of Peter, but also because of the many characters he is able to interact with. The villains, heroes, friends, and even sometimes just the people he saves all have some form of relatability to them which is just incredible to me.

Spidey and Aunt May escaped, all the henchmen didn’t, Doc Ock survived by wrapping himself in his tentacles, and Hammerhead got temporarily turned into a spooky science ghost.

1:10:30 While the Green Goblin or Carnage are often compared to The Joker, it's Doc Ock who _is_ Spider-Man's Joker. He is Spider-Man's antithesis. A scientist, a man who has loved and lost, who has struggled, who has shown indomitable will, who always gets back up when knocked down, a man who combined his unnatural gifts with science to become his greatest self, but unlike Peter he was guided by the philosophy that with great power comes the responsibility of others to worship it. He's that guy who _didn't_ solve climate change. He's the absolute perfect choice to mantle Spider-Man in a meaningful way. The other Spider-Men are ultimately variations on a theme. Ock is the antithesis learning to become Spider-Man.

World outside your window.

I love your storytelling because it just goes straight to the point and Js passes it immediately giving a comedic effect lmao

Actually, it kinda makes sense for Harry to assume that Peter might have been kidnapped by Spidey, given that the photos he takes of Spidey is directly used by the Daily Bugle to spread Libel about him.

As I step into this video, I am excited to experience someone's perspective on my favorite fictional character. He's always taught me different lessons on responsibility and doing the right thing, learning that I do not need to be perfect and I just need to try my best. He even teaches me to deal with self hate in stories like Gwen's death and even his time in Daredevil. I know that you probs won't see this lol but I think that his life has many stages with of course the 60s and his high school time with if this be my destiny and his transition into college life with Gwen when he meets Harry and MJ and Flash Thompson leaving. Then as we near the late 60s, George Stacy dies. And with the iconic story of Norman getting his Goblin side back, comes ASM 121 the death of Gwen Stacy. After that is the iconic first clone saga and many wacky adventures with the new people taking up the Goblin roles. MJ and Peter get together before breaking up and we near the 80s with Roger Stern's run focusing on Peter's life more and his more down to earth nature where he doesn't have much. Nearing the mid to late 80s is one of my favorites, the development of MJ's and Peter's relationship. It works so well and warms my heart. The disaster of the 90s with its clone saga and at 1999 comes JMS to save the day with one of the best Spider-Man runs. Fuck Slott I ain't talking about him. After that is Spencer's spectacular run which brings new life and soul into the character. My top 3 are JMS, his time with MJ and the Romita stuff. Some other runner ups are his time with Roger Stern, Ditko and Spencer. This is my personal experience with Spider-Man 616 and it's nice to see another passionate fan of the comics.

This was such an impressive feat, streamlining what's at times a jumbled mess of a comic series into a linear structure, and with it only being barely over an hour, that's insanely impressive. Personal nitpick though, I wish the first appearance of the Hobgoblin was mentioned, or that Hobgoblin in general got a mention since he was a major villain of Spider-Man for a while in the 80's, but you covered so much else that it's more than forgivable.

Looking back at classic Spider man stories something I love is how Peter supporting cast keeps changing over the years, with the big exemple being in the Steve Ditko and John Romita run. At first his supporting cast was made of characters like Liz Allan, Betty Brant, Aunt May, Foswell but after he went to college some of this character were replace by others (ex: Betty and Liz were replace by MJ and Gwen, Foswell eventually was replaced by Robbie). It really highlight how Spider man stories are about a teenager becoming a man, with Peter losing old friends and relationships and finding new ones as he grows.
