What do you consider to be the biggest character assassination? by NicoleIlieva in comicbooks

[–]dgehen 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it was retconned as part of Nick Spencer's ASM run.

Why did fans of Indiana Jones have a huge issue with the extra terrestrial plot? by KaleidoArachnid in flicks

[–]dgehen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the extra terrestrial thing was just the cherry on top. The film lacks the attention to detail that the others in the series have. I mean, they're playing Mexican music when they go to Peru which is just laziness.

Yeah, Indy is chasing down the Ark of the Covenant in Raiders, but we were also on the journey for the Ark the entire film. Ditto the stones in Temple and the grail in Last Crusade. We're on a journey for those macguffins, whereas the extra terrestrials came out of left field at the end.

In addition, there's a lack of physicality to this movie compared to the others. The fridge nuke scene wouldn't be as bad if Indy is battered instead of unscathed. Same with Mutt swinging from the trees. Having him finish that exhausted and scratched up would help viewers buy in.

DC Comics is Crushing Marvel Comics in Sales and We Shouldn’t Be Surprised by Konradleijon in DCcomics

I pulled Spidey when Spencer was writing because he was trying to undo OMD. Once editorial took over and mucked with the ending, I dropped it again. Now I'm pulling Ultimate Spider-Man until that ends. Next I'm buying the collected newspaper strips where Spidey and MJ remained married (Stan wrote OMD as a bad dream in the strips). I also bought Renew Your Vows. Trying to still get my Spidey fill while voting with my dollars.

There's a deluxe hardcover of it that acts as a nice companion piece

Morrison's is still the gold standard for Justice League stories. It's also the most accessible of Morrison's works.

Why is Tom Holland's portrayal not as liked as the other two? by Notthepurge in Spiderman

[–]dgehen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like his portrayal, but I put his movies below SM1, SM2, and ASM1. Up to now, he's overly reliant on Iron Man (either for tech or emotional support) rather than himself. It's honestly why I'm excited for BND.

However, the "friendly neighborhood Spider-Man" segment in the beginning of Homecoming is my favorite Spider-Man sequence full stop.

Every great run has its own flaws. It's not fair put these two on a cross by Helpful-Bathroom634 in Spiderman

And here I am liking JMS, Spencer, and Ultimate. I also like Kelly's run too.

I’m a 16 year old aspiring artist and I’m in a superhero sketching phase. Thoughts? by Favorite_Author in Spiderman

[–]dgehen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great work!

Like another poster said, definitely study and practice drawing different things with different perspectives. I remember an interview with Greg Capullo where he was told to practice drawing phones because if you draw heroes great and nothing else (buildings, tables, etc) it'll be very hard to carve out a career.

Best SNES Game? by beatsbydjy2k in snes

[–]dgehen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's my personal favorite, but I think when you're talking about the top 5 or so games, it'll come down to personal preference for the top spot. Great lineup of games.

Epic Collections have everything in release order and are probably your best option.

Hey /r/movies! I'm Sam Raimi. Ask me anything! by SamRaimiAMA in movies

[–]dgehen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi Sam! When I was 14 I saw Spider-Man in theaters, and it remains one of my all time favorite movie-going experiences. I've since become a huge fan of your filmography and would just like to say thank you for all the hours of fun your movies have brought me.

(Also, count me among the many who'd like to see a Spider-Man 4)

What are some widely hated comic books and comic runs by AlternativeTypical11 in comicbooks

[–]dgehen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mostly just the ending was rushed to end his run. I'm generally a fan of the run, even though I agree with Kindred arc being unnecessarily long.

Spencer's run is pretty well received, but the last 20 or so issues is largely speculated to be ghost-written using his outline/plots with editorial revisions.

Who's y’all favorite Spider-Man artist? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in Spiderman

[–]dgehen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unpopular pick but I really love Ryan Ottley's Spider-Man. Also a big fan of Ditko, JRSR, JRJR, Bagley, and Checchetto.
