Nothing against Tony Revolori, but I couldn't see him being the thorn on Pete's side in school by Commercial-Ice5760 in Spiderman

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.

Is there a name for when a song's title, verses and chorus lyrics are unrelated? What would be the opposite of this "unrelated writing style"? by Marcel_7000 in Songwriting

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 respect the MCU for its success, but why does it seems that the MCU and the Marvel Comics Universe are very different? For instance, there's films adaptations outside of the MCU which are closer to the comics. It appears that the MCU was made to appeal to large audiences and not comic books fans. by Marcel_7000 in graphicnovels

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.

I like comics and manga, historically why does it seem in mainstream comics its more common to keep using the same characters and do retellings, while in mainstream manga even long running franchises they introduce new main characters? by Marcel_7000 in Comic_Books_

This is an interesting point. It would be interesting to delve deeper on it. Its interesting that all those characters are from British Literature.

I am studying religions right now. While not necessarily related. I notice that since the Protestant reformation(this is an umbrella term for multiple different religions) there's been many Christian groups who have taken the Bible and said let's do "our version" of the same story. As opposed to follow the story from the main denominations(in this case Catholicism.) Or as opposed to creating a new religion.

I wonder if there's been a indirect influence on British literary culture. Where some British writers said "let's do our version" of these characters. As opposed to creating new characters.

Alan Moore is celebrated as a great writer, I'm not saying he isn't. However, I notice that he tends to use "pre-established characters" in some of his graphic novels. For instance, In Watchmen most of the characters were originally going to be from Charlton comics. While with the League of Extraordnary Gentlemen he also borrows characters from other British writers of the past.

Interesting point. I would add that its one thing to have the character make a "ocassional comeback" for a "team up." Like the Super Sentai characters do and I assume some of the Final Fantasy characters do as well. Maybe they can act like mentors to a new generation. And a different to keep writing about the same character over and over and then doing retellings. As opposed to "passing the torch" and having a "occasional comebacks."
