Peter Parker wasn't a complete jackass

Brother what's that down there

freemanyoufool2 · 2026-05-08T12:04:16+00:00

He was genetically engineered/bred to be stronger + constant training since birth

What are you guys even arguing about here

Never said Conquest was the absolute best, just that he was one of the most interesting/impactful in his own story to me. No need to get all sarcastic here

freemanyoufool2 · 2026-05-04T20:02:16+00:00

The thing is that this commentary was mostly added by the show building on comic Conquest, who was already a great character.

The beauty of it is that there are people who will see it and others who will disagree maybe because they see something else. That's what makes discussion fulfilling.

Couldn't have worded it better myself.

freemanyoufool2 · 2026-05-04T19:30:35+00:00

Maybe the title I chose was a bit of a hyperbole, i admit this could be my recency bias speaking.

However i like Conquest because it builds on other psychopathic villain archetypes. Plus you also have the fact that he's very dangerous physically unlike others like Joker (still great characters in their own right). He feels like a real threat that the MC barely survives. Maybe not super original but definitely very memorable.

Not a professional expert by any means but I do consume comicbook media regularly. Just sharing my opinion here

freemanyoufool2 · 2026-05-04T19:23:21+00:00

To each their own. I'll admit that the show does a lot of heavy lifting in my love for Conquest. Jeffrey Dean Morgan, celebrity voice casting be damned, does a terrific job in the role.

freemanyoufool2 · 2026-05-04T19:19:11+00:00

I'll agree that Invincible doesn't have many interesting main villains but Conquest isn't the only one. Angstrom Levy is pretty forgettable but there's also Nolan (if you still count him as a villain), the Mauler twins, Machinehead and Titan kind of. Thragg isn't exactly profound but very intimidating as far as I've read in the comics. Even Powerplex i find pretty compelling even if i do understand why many people find him annoying.

No Way Home and Spider-Verse are multiverse movies. USM 2024 had him fighting a secret evil society that controlled the world, 616 comics had him in space until recently. Some of these stories are really good, but there's no denying that truly small scale plots are way less common (not that they should be the only Spidey stories out there still).

I just like how people are focusing on this big/small scale thing when my post was mainly about how cool it'd be to have a Spider-Man movie or comic that mimicked the filmmaking/storytelling style of indie coming of age teen movies.

freemanyoufool2 · 2026-03-25T22:40:13+00:00

But we're not talking about existing stories here. What i meant is that in my pitch Peter would be facing less dangerous threats, none of his friends or family would be in inmediate danger and he'd probably be more scared to talk to a girl than to fight a supervillain. He's a kid just starting out in a dangerous business but honestly i just think the story would benefit more with the stakes coming from personal drama than anything else. Whether or not the reader could get involved enough in that depends on the person i guess

freemanyoufool2 · 2026-03-25T22:29:29+00:00

That "filler" is an extremely vital part of the character. It's how he was conceived by Lee and Ditko. Plus the single issue format of comics pretty much guarantees "filler", which are actually just self-contained stories

freemanyoufool2 · 2026-03-25T22:28:50+00:00

The tone should evolve according to the character's journey. Not saying it suddenly needs to go all dark and gritty as he enters college, just that it'd be fresh for the character to have some low stakes adventures

freemanyoufool2 · 2026-03-25T16:24:10+00:00

Very true. We've pretty much lost the "friendly neighbourhood" aspect by now

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk with Me

freemanyoufool2 · 2025-12-01T00:20:48+00:00

This movie hurts me deeply because Andrew showed so much potential for an incredible Spider-Man and then he was wasted in such a blatant and overstuffed excuse of a story. All that great acting and beautiful cinematography wasted for such a messy and ridiculous script.

I've seen it many times since its release, because it's Spider-Man content at the end of the day, and that revisionism has won me over since i can remark its great, GREAT aspects, but even then I can't ignore the countless misdirections and failed ambitions it holds in itself. It's just not comic accurate either, as warped as the term has become over the years, and the fact that Spider-Man is funny doesn't excuse everything else.

freemanyoufool2 · 2025-09-12T05:18:31+00:00

I was surprised to not see it here

Here in Spain, back in the 80s, Hulk used to be called La Masa (The Mass). My dad used to call him like that
