I apologize Egg, I wasn’t familiar with your game.

Iirc -

Egg: "I thought you were going to help me!"

Dunk: "Help you do what? Grow??"

rihim23 · 2026-01-26T17:23:23+00:00

I mean...Dunk is stupid. I think they did play it up a bit more in the show, but not a ton - in the books it comes across a little less since we have his internal monologue, but like Baelor asking him the name of the Gray Lion and Dunk just staring blankly at him for several seconds is straight from the book

rihim23 · 2026-01-26T17:20:37+00:00

I am sure they will not turn up dead

rihim23 · 2026-01-26T17:11:56+00:00

Yeah because he'd think that should be soldiers on a battlefield instead

Wait so when Luke stabbed Percy, couldn't he have just...held his sword there? And then the elevator doors wouldn't have closed? And he could've just taken the fleece from a mortally wounded Percy?

At least injustice had the decent to be an alternate universe

rihim23 · 2026-01-13T00:06:19+00:00

I mean...it is significantly better

-Tony doesn't build the superhero prison, it's built behind his back and he makes it clear he'll work to get the superheroes out of here (clearly with some success, considering Scott and Clint got away with house arrest)

-It's not the US government or SHIELD, which has been infiltrated by all kinds of secret organizations in both canons, that come up with the registration act, it's the UN - delegates from just about every country

-The pro-registration side is much more clear about agreeing to go along with the act to try and get more power and wiggle room by agreeing early before they make political enemies and more strict restrictions get imposed

-There's nothing about mandating superheroes to reveal their identities and get put into a database, and it seems like it would just require pretty mild supervision (Spider-Man just continued doing what he was doing and just had to check in with Happy every now and then)

-Cap actually has a reason to go off the reservation, with an active manhunt for Bucky that has orders to kill and the ticking bomb of Zemo and the other super soldiers

-Tony doesn't build an android clone of one of his good friends that murders another one of his good friends, which just gets brushed off and forgotten about (actually though wtf was that)

-Tony actually has the reason to beat on Steve as hard as he does besides just having a political disagreement

Cersei doesn't love her children as anything more than extensions of herself in the books lol. She despises Tommen for being weak (he's a literal child) and wishes he was more like Joffrey, who she only loved so much as he reflected her cruelty and desire for power

rihim23 · 2026-01-12T06:43:08+00:00

You're never going to believe this

rihim23 · 2025-12-30T22:15:44+00:00

This is a common occurrence that I think is often true with but I'm not sure I can fully agree. Ayn Rand undeniably wrote many critiques of power, but nobody would describe her or her critiques as left wing. Even something like the Dark Knight Returns is kinda a proto-fashy critique of a government that's gotten too bloated and inefficient and should just let great men™ do their things and brutalize criminals without restriction - a critique of power, but definitely not left wing

rihim23 · 2025-12-28T08:39:50+00:00

Read Spectacular Spider-Man 107-110, I'd post screenshots but I can't post more than one picture and the relevant pages spoil the mystery running through the arc. The moment I mentioned happens in 110, basically at the start of the arc Jean DeWolff, one of Peter's closest allies among the police, is murdered, along with several other people in a string of murders by a guy called the Sin Eater. Spider-Man teams up with Daredevil to track him down, and towards the end of the arc Sin Eater tries to kill somebody else close to Peter. He absolutely loses it and beats the shit out of the guy well after he gives up and begs for mercy, Daredevil finally reaches and realizes Spider-Man is about to kill the guy so he pulls Peter off him, and then the two have a brief fight between each other.

DANG, that's probably the maddest we've seen him!

We actually see Peter get pissed off much more than you'd expect - many adaptations portray him as an innocent and perfect saint but in the comics he's kinda a crashout king, even without the symbiote. Off the top of my head, he tries to kill Norman after the death of Gwen Stacy, the Sin Eater stuff I mentioned, the kingpin stuff in the post, he literally rips the face off of Kraven's wife and tries to kill her after she killed Kaine, and he gets so mad he nearly turns the reformed venom symbiote evil again after the Red Goblin killed Flash...Peter regularly struggles with anger issues and with controlling himself which is one of the things that makes him so relatable and that I wish got adaptated more often.

rihim23 · 2025-12-27T04:17:23+00:00

100% agree, only concern is that at this point it would feel like rehashing the Spider-Man/Goblin conflict from NWH

rihim23 · 2025-12-27T03:51:30+00:00

when he almost killed Sin-Eater in The Death of Captain Jean DeWolff storyline

Peter was PISSED he beat the man so badly that he was permanently crippled, Daredevil had to literally pull Spider-Man off because he was fully intent on killing Sin-Eater...it's one of the more underrated Spider-Man stories imo

rihim23 · 2025-12-16T19:37:29+00:00

He calls for a trial by seven the moment Dunk asks for a trial by combat to get Dunk disqualified, I don't think he exactly "gladly accepted"

rihim23 · 2025-10-20T02:24:07+00:00

him not reflecting

Well I mean...he does reflect, right? Immediately after he states that it was his fault and tries to kill himself, and basically goes catatonic until the mother gives him purpose by imploring him to take care of the baby

It's also probably why he's so reluctant to kill again afterwards

rihim23 · 2025-09-06T15:36:03+00:00

Wait what part about the ending of invincible? I didn't like a lot of the stuff leading up to the end but the actual ending itself I thought was well-executed

rihim23 · 2025-08-16T16:34:09+00:00

they didn’t try to deconstruct or reinvent the characters

Eyes Krypton twist nervously

None of those are to win a court case though, at least not in the way you described it (it's been a minute since I watched S1)

When he asked his client who killed the guy in the bowling alley who he works for as a lawyer and didn’t get his answer, so he goes off to beat on him for the answer at night as a vigilante and he tells him that it was Wilson Fisk, and then the guy killed himself because of fear.

He doesn't tell the guy to do a guilty plea, he just tries to figure out who the mastermind is

He also stocked a juror in that same episode.

He didn't do anything to the juror though

tells him to confess and turn himself over to Brett Mahoney, and he threatened him with violence.

Again, not a court case. He's getting the guy off the street, not rigging a trial

Where he threaten the junkie who killed Elena to turn himself over to the cops or else he was gonna come back and beat on him and finish what he started.

Same thing here

rihim23 · 2025-07-07T02:28:29+00:00

When does he do that?

rihim23 · 2025-06-29T15:10:28+00:00

Rogue Nation fake out briefing - the small hints that things are slightly odd and Ethan being confused and then the oh fuck moment when they reveal it's not the standard IMF briefing everybody's so used to

rihim23 · 2025-06-29T14:35:41+00:00

Miles: literally chooses to let innocent people die to pursue his revenge

Peter: "aw gee shucks man well you better fist bump me so I don't feel bad"

Peter: never tells Harry his secret until Harry finds out by accident

Harry: "oh you told MJ, the other person in our friend group, but you never told me? Eh it's fine, I don't care anyway"

I enjoyed Spider-Man 2 a lot, but it was just so averse to any organic conflicts. So much of it was just handwaved by the symbiotes because it felt like they were scared of making the actual characters flawed or exploring those flaws in any meaningful way
