    You guys skipped one of my favorite goblin/spider-man moments in this book. During the final fight, Peter essentielly says what the fuck man why? And norman implies that he fucks with spider-man so much because if peter is gonna reject him, he's going to make sure that the world never benifits from peter's brilliance. he even points out to him that he invented those web shooters when he was fucking fifteen, he's so god damn brilliant he could save the world with his intelect and brilliance, but since he rejected norman as a sort of father figure, norman is gonna make sure that he's always busy with this super villian bullshit so that he never gets to really actually help the world. i love that moment so much. so much more than the batman joker dynamic. batman joker is i exist because of you. but why? cause, why not. this is like you fucking asshole, if i can't have you, no one can.

    Sound like Ethan is practicing to become a villain at the end of the episode. Also around 38:50 something appears near Ben's mouth. sometimes looks like a lip ring. it disappears around 59:33.

    The letter at the end from Osborn makes me think that Miller is trying to write it like a Love/hate relationship between Spider-Man and Green Goblin is the same as the relationship between Batman and Joker that they he wants to defeat Spider-Man but also is the reason for what he does.
    Unfortunately this doesn’t really work for Green Goblin

    This imo is one of your guys best episodes as it was hilarious both from you guys and the book itself. Millar is a writer I'm always frustrated with cause for every Wolverine Enemy of the State, Old Man Logan and Kick Ass, you then end up with stories like this and Ultimate X-Men (the stuff he wrote anyways)

    • @NovastarDoughnut
      @NovastarDoughnut Před 2 lety +2

      Yes! His wolverine stuff isn't bad... OML is a little much for my liking. Not a fan of the hulk incest family and i find it a little gratuitous. Personally HATE some of his books though. I hate his ultimate FF, ultimate Xmen and ultimates because they reek of 2000s edgy "I cam say the fuck word and talk about sex and have heroes MURDER and be racists" and its like woah pump the breaks.
      I think red son is a good concept but never reaches the peak of the idea and divulged into grim authoritarianism that feels a little propagandistic like "yeah america is great you guys. See how much better the american superman is, he isn't a dictator" and that I don't think works, I think there's merit and it's close to saying somthing bur never reaches its potential.

    Either Ethan and Ben are getting better at guessing what happens next, or this book was nuts. I think we all know which it was haha
