My favourite was the first appearance of sandman, Peter forgot to get shots of the fight so he just starts tossing sand in the air and pretending to fight it, Jonah is like “great shots” lol
Canonically people were supposed to assume they had a deal of some kind and set these up.
Which ended up getting Peter targeted very often, so one has to wonder the point of the secret identity in the first place.
Look if a villain is gonna kidnap someone close to spiderman, it’s best if they kidnap actual spiderman and not someone he cares about
Half the time they take Aunt May or MJ instead!
I thought it was fun they actually managed to hit that entire chain of events in Raimi’s Spider-Man 2. Doc Ock makes a deal with Harry in exchange for capturing Spidey and the first thing Harry does is go “target Peter Parker immediately”. So Ock goes and for some reason instead of ripping limbs off Peter until he tells him the truth he kidnaps MJ instead.
He doesn’t even let her go (or even kill her) after he actually succeeds, for some reason. Which honestly I had never thought about. Why is he keeping her hanging from the ceiling of his secret lab? What was the plan there?
This is the correct answer
Teenagers have a hard time managing their lives without the secret identity stuff, I’m not surprised he messed it up.
Sure. That’s fair for a high schooler.
He keeps this going until he has a degree, a wife and, canonically, a published photography monographic book entirely about Spider-Man.
It’s called “Webs”.
I’m gonna say that excuse stops working at some point.
I think JJJ would’ve paid Peter more if he arranged for pictures that made Spider-Man look more creepy and morally questionable. JJJ probably feels suspicious of all those “heroic” angles.
“Look at that menace Spider-Man, sexually assaulting buildings and leaving them covered in white goo!”
Zoomer Parker will not lug around an SLR camera in the next reboot; he’ll simply be a drone operator.
Millennial Parker is a web designer so this isn’t far off.
Either that or gen-alpha Parker.
I wonder if his spider sense will tip him off to the drones OTHERS send to track him
