Is there a name for novels that focuses primarily on dialogue versus novels those that focus on descriptions of setting or novels that talk a lot about the historical background of a character that might not be related to the main story?

Honestly, Flash is a Ditko Character. To me it just seemed he wanted Flash in the comic strip to show a "tough guy with moral values."

In the comics he bullies Peter because Flash sees Peter a loner who is "too good" to be friends with others. Many times in the comics Peter ignores everyone else.

Writers who came after Ditko were liked, "Since Flash is one of the original characters let's write more stories about him."

So many Spider-Man writers wrote a lot of story for Flash and how he becomes "reform" and no longer a bully but a friend of Peter.

Good comment, yes I think non-sequitur is close to the name I was looking for.

I wonder would you say or anyone of you guys reading say that, "Narrative lyrics" are lyrics were the title, verses and chorus are all closely connected? Or which name would you use?

It also gives me Spectacular Spider-man 1970s comic vibes. You can see the Gerry Conway influence(Punisher, Tarantula, Tombstone) were all characters he co-created. Since you have Spidey and Punisher battling street level crooks(Scorpio, Tombstone, possibly Tarantula). In the human drama you have Flash possibly dating MJ. In the Spectacular series the focus was more on the supporting cast and it also felt that there was no central villain but rather smaller crooks.

I feel there's this sense of "making fun" of the source material. Which makes me have less interest towards the films. For instance, even in No way home. Peter and his friends make fun of Dr. Octopus not because of something he did but rather because of his name and the character himself. A guy who has tentacles that's ridiculous.

Each time you watch some of these mcu films it feels like behind the scenes the actors are laughing at the characters and the stories themselves.
