The funniest thing is that the only reason Spidey's sense is working when he's playing cards is the fact that the sense took losing in the games as an actual threat to his bank account.
Not just that, its the fact that he says to Mr Fantastic "Donate all of it to a charity in Nebraska...except for this $20, which I'll use as cab fare.", as he webswings out the window. He's getting a last little dig at the Kingpin before he does a genuinely nice thing for the woman he loves.
Yep king pin would have spent those on an illegal iteam that gravely injured someone in the process of material procurement for production which denotes what king pin likes and in the other side is Spidey and what he enjoys
Kingpin saying "I'm gonna use the 20$ I win off you to buy a Cuban cigar, Illegally!" To super heroes is the most hilarious line I've heard right after "Hey, aren't you gonna wash you hands?!" "No. . .cause I'm evil"
I honestly wish Spidey had been less "in your face" about winning and actually did just be like "it was nice, fun even, don't be AFRAID to try again another night Fisk!"

This story s such a relief from other Spider-man comics. There's no drama, barely any tension, it just feels like a nice break from the beatdown life gives Spider-man in other stories, and it makes me genuinely happy to see Spider-man and Kingping just playing a card game.
The story ends with him swinging home to MJ with a bouquet of flowers, laughing. Spidey fans really gotta soak up moments like that, they're too few and far between.
@@frofrozzty especially now with how much the writers just go "Let's make Peter Parker's life even shittier", I swear I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to give him cancer from his own radioactive blood. Pissed for sure, but not surprised.

EXACTLY. Not every has to be DC levels of depressing with superheroes . So people who say that Marvel’s all sunshine and rainbows need to blow it straight out their asses
@@kaelisprime9087 but then you have almost no consequences or markings in his character. Just look at spiderman ps4, that story has a perfect ammount if human moments and tragedy, both elements that defines spiderman really well can coexist
I like how Kingpin wasn't there to ruin the lives of people, to beat people up, nothing like that. He just wanted to see if he could boast about being better at poker. Some villians don't want to watch the world burn, they just want to win because it's fun.
I mean, adding to this, he even said that if they refused he'd leave and that'd be that. So while he was taunting them sure, at least he was being fair about it. If the heroes won they'd get a nice donation for charity, if he wins he celebrates with a boat, and a cuban cigar. No huge end of the world plot, no big "Spider man must reveal his face!" No. Just a guy who came to flex his ability to play poker, put his money where his mouth is. And failed.
"you are bad guy, but you are not bad guy" brothers, what have we done. look at us. look at what we've become. This isn't right. we're wasting time going on about girls and sus drawings that don't give a f*ck about us. What is the point of lust? Why do we do this? This doesn't fix our problems, doesn't make the stress and pain go away. repent to God, friends. We must stay focused, brothers, on what really matters. I'm only 17, but I'm telling you, in the words of johnny cash, "sooner or later God will cut you down." you will lose almost everything important to you. please, for your sakes, repent and turn to Jesus. He is, in the words of Skillet, "better than drugs." He is also better than lust. love > lust. You'll find out that this is true. love may hurt, and same for lust, but lust will keep you chained down, eventually killing you. Ayo I don’t mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events, if anyone is interested (read on) hell was never meant for us, my fellow youtube user. it was for the devil and his squad, and God gave us the Way out of there since we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God. God knew we were wack, but He decided He was still come down and help us, despite our unfaithfulness. most relationships (like friendships, romantic relationships) aren't like this. Very few, but not a whole lot. religion (Christianity) is just a relationship with God along with loving others (see james 1:27) also, we have various types of evidence that backs up the Bible. Here's one example: Scientists have discovered that the earth "skipped" a day. The Bible explains how that happened. In the book of Joshua, Joshua asked the sun to stop so he and the Israelites could defeat their enemies. Then in 2 Kings, King Hezekiah learned he was dying, and pleaded to God to not let him die. God sent a prophet to king hezekiah who said hezekiah would live. Hezekiah wanted a sign, and that would be for the sun to defy the law of inertia and go back 10 degrees. NASA confirmed it and did the math (look it up for more info). We also found Noah’s Ark hanging out in turkey, along with anchor stones marked with crosses signifying that it’s a revered place, along with altars and many other things. Look it up, it’s good stuff The Holy Spirit exists. I was a slave to s3xual sin for 7-ish d@mn years. Finally at 16, God freed me. Also, look up John Gabbana's (boonk gang) testimony. Dude did a lot of wacky stuff. He's changed now. also, the soul exists. someone i know (i won't say who- privacy reasons) saw their soul leaving their body. like pulling off a band-aid, except it doesn't hurt. I was suicidal for 9-ish months, but then I read John 3:16, and poof- the big sad went away in one night. There are also non-Christian sources who have confirmed the existence and divinity of Jesus, some of which were hostile towards Christianity, such as: Thallus (52 AD), who said Jesus lived, was crucified, and confirmed the darkness and earthquake that followed Christ’s crucifixion; Tacitus (56-120 AD), who called the followers of Christ Christians, confirmed that Jesus was crucified under Pontus Pilate’s command Talmud (400-700 AD), confirmed that the disciples were martyred for their faith, and confirmed Jesus was executed the day before the Passover, and said Jesus had “magical” powers Pliny the Younger (61-113 AD), who said that the Christians thought Jesus was/is God in the Flesh (God the Son) Phlegon (80-140 AD), who said Jesus had the ability to predict the future, and confirmed that Jesus was crucified during Caesar’s reign, confirmed Jesus rose from the dead, and confirmed He showed His wounds to confirm He was crucified. Celcus (175 AD), who said Jesus was born of a virgin, said His father is a carpenter, and confirmed Jesus had miraculous powers (See cold-case Christianity for more details) Here’s the physical evidence of Jesus and His Resurrection: 1) No persecution would have started if He hadn’t come back (the disciples thought Jesus would never resurrect) 2) The Roman soldiers would have paid with their lives if they failed at their jobs 3) there was a 2-4 ton rock that 11-12 guys would have to move (they didn’t have any help. Everyone said “crucify Him”) major L to those opposed to Jesus 4) there was a Roman seal which was a metal pin that sealed the tomb stone 5) Stealing the Jesus’s body isn’t something the disciples would do (besides Judas. Although he hung himself after feeling remorse for betraying Jesus). 6) the disciples wouldn’t die for what they knew would be a lie. (The lie being Jesus never made the ultimate comeback) faith and reason, people hit me up to learn more about how science proves the Bible or just about God in general
I love this book already. I love the exchange between Spidey and Kingpin; Kingpin saying that if he wins the money, he'll use it to buy drugs and overall make the world worse. And with Peter's twenty dollars, he'll buy an illegal cuban cigar. That's amazing, that's a more Kingpin move than anything I've seen from him in ages.
@@freakymoejoe2 it's not the most petty thing he's done either; in Ultimate Spider-Man he bought the rights to Spider-Man's likeness, meaning any good thing Peter did would make his merch sell better, and thus would fund Kingpin.
@@memeboyr6177 funny thing is that peter is canonically a mets fan. Revealed in Peter Parker: Spider-Man Vol 1 33. To think, if only blonde peter had told fisk that he too liked mets, fisk would have let him go and destroyed the collider himself.
You're right. The money meant nothing, it was the principle of defeating the heroes and taking away something they do to put a little bit of good in the world and blow off steam, and to crush and personally humiliate them and always leave a sore spot on any future nights when they look back and go "remember that time kingpin showed up ruined the day and we lost out on helping people with $300k and instead it went to a horrible cost?" That was what Kingpin wanted...and instead, it was he who ended up with egg on his face XD
“Sorry, champ. We were SO CLOSE to finding a cure, but unfortunately, we were $20 short.” **as spider-man swings past the window of the hospital, laughing, with a bouquet of flowers**
That has got to be the most devastating loss Fisk has suffered on a personal level. He gave out his own money sure he could beat these amateur players, heroes, at cards and yet lost it all to possibly the most obnoxious hero to him in the room. Love to see it.
I think Spidey, because of his enhanced senses and years of experience, is very attuned to each of his movements throughout his body, which makes sense as he needs to be quick and nimble but also perfectly still during stealth missions. So he can perfectly control his body, including any tells.
@@MegaManXPoweredUp Well Spiderman could win any poker game anywhere if he wanted to. Simply because he is impossible to bluff. Spider-sense tells him every time someopne tries to bluff him. Very hard to lose with an advantege like that :-)
Maybe, just maybe, his Parker luck doesn't screw him over all the time? Kingpin was right, it was a pair, he had him down to a T, he just didn't think it was a pair of 9s, it's statistically a very long shot.
Feels like they're trying to slowly write Peter out by just beating him down over and over and over and making his story just not fun to read until we just have Miles
@@ReaperGrimm5594 that's exactly what I'm thinking. Miles is being pushed so hard its getting annoying. I hate miles not because he isn't peter but because marvel keeps shoving him down my throat. Id like him if he didn't piggyback off Peter's stories and wasn't so forced in
@@puffpuffpassmako Let's be honest with ourselves; Miles is a Walmart Great Value Static Shock, with the Spider powers quickly tacked on both because they knew that just making Marvel Brand Static Shock would probably get them sued, and because they wanted to ride the coattails of Marvel's greatest, most recognizable hero because they knew Miles would not be able to stand on his own.
@@ReaperGrimm5594 I don't think neither DC or Marvel would care about getting sued by the other. They ripoff each other all the time. Like come on, not long ago DC created their own Spiderman. Sideways, who is unapologetic Spiderman but with Nightcralwer's powers. And for a time they turned Black Spider into literally just Spiderman. But evil. So if anything they can hold that over DC if they made their own Static.
was expecting a: "and as spiderman made his way home, a trained sniper would kill m.j before torturing spiderman for 50 years. spiderman would escape and spend 12 years reviving m.j only for her to completely forget him and marry someone else"
What had me flabbergasted the most is the fact that Strange was able to go toe to toe with Galactus and recreate the entire universe and its exact timeline for what I think was millions of years which I'm sure took a lot of concentration, will, and brainpower, but he lost all his money to this big round ol mentos gum looking queball. But the part where Spidey absolutely played Fisk and the look on his face had me dying, so it was worth it.
The fact that kingpin would go out of his way to use the twenty dollars he'd get from Spiderman to illegally buy a Cuban cigar is just another level of petty and I love it
It's the maniacal laughing from Spidey at the end that really makes it. Just like Kingpin takes a lot of pleasure in embarrassing the heroes, Spidey takes a particular enjoyment in embarrassing the villains.
Spider-Man being able to sense when people are bluffing is reasonable, I mean how else can Spidey tell a villain is lying and about to ambush him. I love it when the hero humiliates the villain instead of just beating them normally. Like imagine the story "Ya so Kingpin crashed our poker night and Spider-Man beat him completely.".
As much as I love a good action story with highs stakes, clashing ideologies, and conquering impossible odds. There is something special about the "downtime episodes". The "needless filler" as some would call it, that shows the cast in a more normal day to day setting. Stuff like this puts a smile on my face. Seeing the heroes, and villain's, doing something they enjoy for the sake of having fun. It makes them feel more human. I love these kind of stories, and I feel there's not many of them.
@@rafaelsantos-nl9jd They also make the Super Hero job easier. He's almost had breakdowns in the past. he tends to lighten the mood to throw off the villains and to make himself feel better.
@@DaemosDaen there a comic, Ant-man if i am not mistaked, where a bunch of D villains are getting ready for a job and there a newbie villain, and they are explaining to him that new york is split in multiple territories and each territory belong to a different hero, and they are all extremely dangerous, the only not dangerous Hero is spiderman that rule the central area of New Works, the territory with tall buildings, they also explain that if you laffy of Spiderman's jokes he go super easy on you and basically just tie you up with the webs
@@rafaelsantos-nl9jd they say that Luke Cage is actually a nice guy but punching you in the face is his only skill. Punisher is a killer and Dare Devil a bone breaker. Midtown Spider-man. Hell's Kitchen Dare Devil. Harlem Luke Cage.
-Wait, I'm with Kingpin on this one, how does Spidey have four nines if Kingpin's holding two of them? There are only four of each card in your standard deck, one of each suit. They may be using multiple decks shuffled together, but that's really only done at casinos and competitive tournaments, not at causal get-togethers like this. And Kingpin's reaction to the hand seems to confirm that he knows there shouldn't be more than four nines in the deck. Admittedly it might be explained in a panel that wasn't shown here, but just from what's shown in the video it looks like either Spidey cheated in order to win, or Kingpin was cheating the whole time, and this was Spidey's way of calling him out on it without directly stating it.- EDIT: Nevermind, I'm an idiot. They're playing Hold 'Em, so two of the nines are on the table. You can even see it at 3:00. Leaving this up so others can revel in my stupidity, and possibly have this question answered for them before they ask it themselves.
As far as I could tell they never showed his hand just the spread (don't know what it's actually called) kingpin said he had a full house over nines so that means his two cards could've been 2 queens, 2 twos, or 2 of whatever that left most card is. If we were to assume he had 2 nines then his hand would've been 4 nines high queen same as Spidey which is clearly not what he stated
@@Chu8rock ahh fair, I only ever play Texas hold em and I'm pretty sure that's what they were playing in the vid. You play Texas hold em. We can set up an online game
Even once for no actual stakes (as in, with play-money)? Sure, one would expect to lose in that situation, but like, could still be interesting, right? Or maybe the experience wouldn’t be much different from just losing normally? Hmm. I’m not sure, I’m not experienced with poker.
I love that Peter just being who he is made Reed straight up "I love being a Hero", to inspire one of if not THE smartest man on Earth is just spectacular to say the least
I love how Doctor Strange immediately lost all of his chips, to think the Sorcerer Supreme was so bad at poker, I don't know why but that's just hilarious to me. (Edit) WOW over 3k likes, thank you all so much, I never would've expected this comment to get that many likes. thank you again
I mean if he didn't he would be called a sore loser and get ridiculed by all the other villains (especially since quite a few noteworthy heroes where there) That and the fact if he tried making some ruckus quite a few powerhouses where in the room and would rock his world
Now I want to know the alternate universe version of spiderman who uses his patent pending "gambling sense" to defeat evil casino owners such as Kingpin, Hammerhead, and Tombstone. Working under them as dealers, bouncers, opposing gamblers, and waiters would be the rest of the Spiderman cast 😂.
@@theguywithsomething8634 you know you make an excellent point. Maybe this spiderman doesn't see the average casino owner as evil lol since he does enjoy gambling.
0:17 As much as I like this picture, let's be honest, there's no fight about to break out here. Captain America is the kind of guy who's be 100% willing to apologize and offer to buy another round. And Superman would be 100% willing to accept the apology and let it go with a hand shake. ...meanwhile Batman would be downloading dossiers on every person on the Marvel side of the room and coming up with plans to not quite kill them.
I honestly prefer king pin and spidermans rivalry to be that of a constant prank war between them that never ends. Like instead of him like shooting aunt may I like him more as like the Ultimate Spiderman version where he's ruthless and violent when they first meet but once Spidey figures out to get under his skin he no longer has that fear factor.
@@lojika1majik just the idea of a hero’s villain figuring out their identity, finding out who they love, all just to shoot them with a nerf gun is sending me rn. Like, I’m just picturing Lex abducting Alfred and setting up some elaborate death contraption and stalling Batman just long enough for it to “go off” and it’s just a confetti shower and an arcade machine going “you lose” as Lex goes into a deep and thought provoking monologue about the importance of pranks
It’s completely reasonable that his spider sense can help him in poker like this. I honestly can believe that his abilities would try to protect him from the harm of his wallet being hurt even, what I have a hard time believing is that anyone aware of his spider sense’s capabilities to do that would let him play and I feel like Peter would be good natured enough to make that apparent. Is there some context I’m missing regarding the accepted level of fairness the players have for almost uncontrollable powers and how they can influence the game?
Besides Kingpin, no one gets to keep the money. They're playing with friends and the winner chooses which charity the money goes to. His friends don't mind if Peter has an advantage and Kingpin believes he's superior to everyone.
Like the guy above me said, it's just a chance to hang out with friends. Showcased by the fact they let Spidey keep his mask on during the game. Except with Kingpin, in which case I can imagine everyone silently chuckling to themselves about Spidey's unfair advantage
Like others have said, I think if it was for anyone at the table to win the moneyfor themselves then they wouldn't let Peter play, The money's going to charity no matter who wins so it's a case of "Psht so what if he has an advantage it's going to a good cause in the end lets see if we can outplay him" kind of deal.
Love me some spidey side stories. My favorite superhero since like 10 years old has been Spider-Man, it is always fun to see him in a normal scenerio and see what he acts like outside of his adventures. Especially since we as Spider-Man fans are so used to seeing him go through hell.
My favorite hero-villain interactions are the ones where the costumes don't matter and the gadgets aren't a factor. I absolutely _love_ stuff like this story! Maybe that's why I liked _Darkwing Duck_ and _ReBoot_ so much…
It is refreshing seeing villains and heros just play a nice game. King Pin wins and does more crime, the heros win and they donate to charity. Seems fair to me.
All in all, just things being normal. Nothing world ending just a little chill and play. Not only that, kingpin might have lost, but in the end, he has basically contributed to a positive movement. If I asked him if he ever cared about losing that $300,000, he would probably would have said " In hindsight, I hate the principal of me losing to a couple of clowns in spandex, but a couple of chum change ain't gonna hurt me. In my eyes, it was fair. An eye for an eye, ya know." He probably hated losing to spidey, but in my opinion (and his if he can get over it) it's probably better than losing to the house that he doesn't own.
@@timloth2994 He was massively upset because he got played by Spiderman. It wasn't about the money here. It is chump change to him but he wanted to prove his superiority to them, and instead he got spanked by the guy he hates the most in front of everyone. Kingpin was looking to embarrass the heroes, not in front of the public, but for his own personal enjoyment. Instead now the heroes are going to talk how he got schooled by Spiderman in a poker game and that story will spread among the heroes. Kingpin's going to throw a fit in his home.
Honestly my favorite part is just the way pete was laughing on his way home, just that genuine feeling of joy at messing with the Kingpin and beating him at his own game
just goes to show how ridiculously easy it would be for Peter to make a fortune and live the easiest life ever doing pretty much anything other than being Spider-Man. but he's too much of a hero to go the easy way
this is really inconsistent between writers. There's one issue where spider-man complains about his spider-sense because "My wife can't even hug me by surprise when I'm washing the dishes" His spider-sense is supposed to warn him about *everything dangerous* that include friends
@@ianfinrir8724there is also something that if the object literally couldn’t do nothing liking not even distracting him his spider sense won’t go off especially if it’s someone he loves
can you put together a list of comics you like? like a spreadsheet? still talk about them and make videos, but your vast knowledge and selection of stories really makes me want to start picking up some hard copies again! love your vids mullet-man, never change and never stop.
Honestly this is something we could do with more of in media. Heroes just sitting around with their biggest foes after a battle or whatever and just chatting and such. Thats a whole niche that I'd love to see more of in movies and shows
What's even funnier is imagining this in context with the background. The Thing donates $212 to one charity, Doctor Strange manages a $150 donation to another, then Spidey drops 400 grand on his choice before the next week a different charity gets $300 from Captain America. The idea of all these charities comparing and wondring why Spider-man of all people is apparently Mr. Moneybags is kinda hilarious in a mundane way.
Another poker game scene I recently saw was a group of DC villains having a poker night and discussing what city is the best place to score, and one pipes up, "What about Central City?" and everyone else there is going, "NNNNnnnnnnooooooo!!! The Flash is the worst hero you can encounter," and then go into stories about how Flash has defeated and humiliated various villains because of his "nice guy" attitude.
Honestly stuff like this is why the current nightwing and flash runs are my current favorite on going comics its not all bad guy this and despair its their day to day lives blended in with their heroics it gives a sense of normalcy that makes the characters feel real and natural.
Lol the perfect follow up to the last spidey video I watched, plot armor comics spiderman breaks the kingpin. Love the reference to that comic at the end, lol.
The idea of heros playing poker to have fun, and donate the winnings to a charity of the winners choice, is such a interesting idea and a thing Spider-Man would totally do
See, this is what I want from a Spider-Man TV show or any animated superhero show. I know there’s that episode of Batman, where the villains all are telling stories, and I want more things like that: just the interpersonal connections and discussions they have.
Any scene that involves poker always gets me hyped. The execution of the perfect bluff or ungodly luck will always be exciting when you build it right.
You're one of the few and best in this. Other comic book shorts channels don't even show which comics they took the information from... It's infuriating.
One of my favorite supervillian/hero concepts is the "it's just a job" type. Where while they are "on the clock" doing their evil deeds, they are evil and dastardly, but it's simply all part of the gig, and once they are "off the clock" they act like more or less normal people. It opens so many opportunities for fun interactions and characterisation when the villian can say they aren't there to cause trouble and are just buying their groceries like anybody else. Venture Bros did this well, and the book series "Cape High" has masterful world building based on a very different relationship between villains and heros.
I agree on enjoying seeing heroes hang in their off time. We come to expect action as the default, so it makes a nice shake up, and we get to see characterization and interactions brought to the forefront. And sure, fights let writers characterize, but seeing them just living their lives offers insights you don't get from fights.
the greatest thing about this isnt that its a poker game or that there isnt any world ending stakes but the fact that in the end, Spider-man isnt getting fucked over per usual.
I swear if there's a spider man's story where the Son is about to explode. Or something like that and Spider-man has to defeat The villain by playing a urno match and then spider man wins and the dude. Becomes depressed and then spider man is kind of like a therapist and understands the guy as he lost everything and uno is the only Wait for the guy to enjoy life and so spider man understands the guy and become his best friend And it's the best spider man story it's the stupidest it's the saddest and it's all Of that and all that you could possibly think of
I love these genuine interactions between characters where they are out of their usual superhero/villain lives and just hanging out. Like the Rhino getting Spiderman a birthday present
The greatest Win Spider-Man ever earned in anything ever. Donating hundreds of thousands of Kingpin's money to charity, followed by a victory lap of laughing all the way home to MJ. I like to imagine that to this day, Kingpin can still hear the sound of Peter laughing through the busy New York streets.
Don't know why, but personally have a soft spot for when enemies can find common ground. Also fairly hilarious given spidy who has tangoed with kingpin time and time again took his money so easily. At least it was for a GOOD cause after all and unlike usual kingpin played fair and square and was a man of his word.
I love how I read every kingpin line in Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk voice. Love getting to see this comic as well. It's always wonderful when we get to see the heroes being down to earth, being human. Good pacing for the pages too. Fast enough to keep you hooked, but slow enough to read and pause if necessary. Also, is this the same comic series where spiderman was actually banned from playing poker with other heroes? Due to his spider sense making it impossible to win?
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the one specific reason Spidey doesn't normally attend these is because he isn't invited for fear his spider sense gives him an advantage, which it doesn't because it never activates for people he doesn't consider a threat
This is likely before that’s established. And his spider sense warns of all dangers to his well-being, including his financial well-being when gambling (at least after this story but possibly during too)
We need to see this happen in the MCU. I don't care if it's a "What-If?" episode, but I'd love to see it in the Disney + Spiderman cartoon or in the upcoming trilogy. I would also accept a Daredevil / Kingpin card game.
I know Kingpin likes to have big dick energy moments, but MAN, his plan of angering Dr Strange, sorcerer supreme, protector of the multiverse, magic user with enough magic to make him and everyone he loves disappear without a trace, Human torch the living star, Invisible Woman the strongest Fantastic Four member, Mr Fantastic tied for the smartest being not only on earth but the universe, The thing, a guy who grew up in the bad streets and is ready to throw down, Black Cat, on again off again anti-hero with luck powers and willingness to kill (Sometimes at least), Spider-man, a guy who would humiliate him in 10 different ways if he ever stopped holding back etc, and thinking they wouldn't just erase his memory and steal his shit after saying he'd use it for bad reasons, was ill thought of to say the least, specially when you consider many of them there (Dr Strange, Black Cat, Mr Fantastic etc) have have been shown willing to do some BAD stuff with the right motivation
Love this channel, hope to see it continue for years.

The funniest thing is that the only reason Spidey's sense is working when he's playing cards is the fact that the sense took losing in the games as an actual threat to his bank account.

20 bucks is 20 bucks
Its spider man
He will go into debt if he losses 5 bucks
Bro is so smart that his spider-sense gives him financial advice.
I love how Peter spared a 20 for himself just to give MJ a bouquet of flowers. Peter treated himself by treating his wife. That was very sweet of him.
What a nice husband. Hopefully nothing happens that would ruin that relationship. /s

The story ends with him swinging home to MJ with a bouquet of flowers, laughing. Spidey fans really gotta soak up moments like that, they're too few and far between.
The twist is if he loses an atomic bomb planted in the city explodes
Yeah i mean if fisk won hed just party till the sun came up and call the heroes suckers
@@frofrozzty especially now with how much the writers just go "Let's make Peter Parker's life even shittier", I swear I wouldn't be surprised if they decided to give him cancer from his own radioactive blood. Pissed for sure, but not surprised.
This is why I love things like the party scene from Age of Ultron. This is far more humanizing than making a character go through incessant tragedies.
Its why I love homecoming and MCU Spiderman so much. They focus on him and his friends a lot and I like it.
@@kaelisprime9087 I would love some of that more light hearted energy for Spider-Man 4, just to kinda juxtapose how shitty of an ending he got in NWH a little bit. I need Peter to heal😭
EXACTLY. Not every has to be DC levels of depressing with superheroes . So people who say that Marvel’s all sunshine and rainbows need to blow it straight out their asses
@@kaelisprime9087 but then you have almost no consequences or markings in his character. Just look at spiderman ps4, that story has a perfect ammount if human moments and tragedy, both elements that defines spiderman really well can coexist
@@ar7hur06 idk, I still like him though.
I like how Kingpin wasn't there to ruin the lives of people, to beat people up, nothing like that. He just wanted to see if he could boast about being better at poker.
Some villians don't want to watch the world burn, they just want to win because it's fun.
I mean, adding to this, he even said that if they refused he'd leave and that'd be that. So while he was taunting them sure, at least he was being fair about it. If the heroes won they'd get a nice donation for charity, if he wins he celebrates with a boat, and a cuban cigar.
No huge end of the world plot, no big "Spider man must reveal his face!" No. Just a guy who came to flex his ability to play poker, put his money where his mouth is. And failed.
Yeah, it's like Bowser playing sports with Mario. He might be evil, but sometimes, you can't always be the bad guy.
"you are bad guy, but you are not bad guy"
brothers, what have we done. look at us. look at what we've become. This isn't right. we're wasting time going on about girls and sus drawings that don't give a f*ck about us. What is the point of lust? Why do we do this? This doesn't fix our problems, doesn't make the stress and pain go away.
repent to God, friends. We must stay focused, brothers, on what really matters. I'm only 17, but I'm telling you, in the words of johnny cash, "sooner or later God will cut you down."
you will lose almost everything important to you. please, for your sakes, repent and turn to Jesus. He is, in the words of Skillet, "better than drugs." He is also better than lust. love > lust. You'll find out that this is true. love may hurt, and same for lust, but lust will keep you chained down, eventually killing you.
Ayo I don’t mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events, if anyone is interested (read on)
hell was never meant for us, my fellow youtube user. it was for the devil and his squad, and God gave us the Way out of there since we all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God.
God knew we were wack, but He decided He was still come down and help us, despite our unfaithfulness. most relationships (like friendships, romantic relationships) aren't like this. Very few, but not a whole lot.
religion (Christianity) is just a relationship with God along with loving others (see james 1:27)
also, we have various types of evidence that backs up the Bible.
Here's one example: Scientists have discovered that the earth "skipped" a day.
The Bible explains how that happened. In the book of Joshua, Joshua asked the sun to stop so he and the Israelites could defeat their enemies. Then in 2 Kings, King Hezekiah learned he was dying, and pleaded to God to not let him die. God sent a prophet to king hezekiah who said hezekiah would live. Hezekiah wanted a sign, and that would be for the sun to defy the law of inertia and go back 10 degrees. NASA confirmed it and did the math (look it up for more info).
We also found Noah’s Ark hanging out in turkey, along with anchor stones marked with crosses signifying that it’s a revered place, along with altars and many other things. Look it up, it’s good stuff
The Holy Spirit exists. I was a slave to s3xual sin for 7-ish d@mn years. Finally at 16, God freed me. Also, look up John Gabbana's (boonk gang) testimony. Dude did a lot of wacky stuff. He's changed now.
also, the soul exists. someone i know (i won't say who- privacy reasons) saw their soul leaving their body. like pulling off a band-aid, except it doesn't hurt.
I was suicidal for 9-ish months, but then I read John 3:16, and poof- the big sad went away in one night.
There are also non-Christian sources who have confirmed the existence and divinity of Jesus, some of which were hostile towards Christianity, such as:
Thallus (52 AD), who said Jesus lived, was crucified, and confirmed the darkness and earthquake that followed Christ’s crucifixion;
Tacitus (56-120 AD), who called the followers of Christ Christians, confirmed that Jesus was crucified under Pontus Pilate’s command
Talmud (400-700 AD), confirmed that the disciples were martyred for their faith, and confirmed Jesus was executed the day before the Passover, and said Jesus had “magical” powers
Pliny the Younger (61-113 AD), who said that the Christians thought Jesus was/is God in the Flesh (God the Son)
Phlegon (80-140 AD), who said Jesus had the ability to predict the future, and confirmed that Jesus was crucified during Caesar’s reign, confirmed Jesus rose from the dead, and confirmed He showed His wounds to confirm He was crucified.
Celcus (175 AD), who said Jesus was born of a virgin, said His father is a carpenter, and confirmed Jesus had miraculous powers
(See cold-case Christianity for more details)
Here’s the physical evidence of Jesus and His Resurrection:
1) No persecution would have started if He hadn’t come back (the disciples thought Jesus would never resurrect)
2) The Roman soldiers would have paid with their lives if they failed at their jobs
3) there was a 2-4 ton rock that 11-12 guys would have to move (they didn’t have any help. Everyone said “crucify Him”) major L to those opposed to Jesus
4) there was a Roman seal which was a metal pin that sealed the tomb stone
5) Stealing the Jesus’s body isn’t something the disciples would do (besides Judas. Although he hung himself after feeling remorse for betraying Jesus).
6) the disciples wouldn’t die for what they knew would be a lie. (The lie being Jesus never made the ultimate comeback)
faith and reason, people

You're right. The money meant nothing, it was the principle of defeating the heroes and taking away something they do to put a little bit of good in the world and blow off steam, and to crush and personally humiliate them and always leave a sore spot on any future nights when they look back and go "remember that time kingpin showed up ruined the day and we lost out on helping people with $300k and instead it went to a horrible cost?"

I think Spidey, because of his enhanced senses and years of experience, is very attuned to each of his movements throughout his body, which makes sense as he needs to be quick and nimble but also perfectly still during stealth missions. So he can perfectly control his body, including any tells.
It also helps that Kingpin doesn't take him seriously. In any contest, you mustn't underestimate your opponent.
@@MegaManXPoweredUp Well Spiderman could win any poker game anywhere if he wanted to. Simply because he is impossible to bluff. Spider-sense tells him every time someopne tries to bluff him. Very hard to lose with an advantege like that :-)
and surviving pretty much everything his villains have cause one is literally an amalgamation that can sit out dozens of spikes if he wants to
Maybe, just maybe, his Parker luck doesn't screw him over all the time?

@@ReaperGrimm5594 that's exactly what I'm thinking. Miles is being pushed so hard its getting annoying. I hate miles not because he isn't peter but because marvel keeps shoving him down my throat. Id like him if he didn't piggyback off Peter's stories and wasn't so forced in
@@puffpuffpassmako Let's be honest with ourselves; Miles is a Walmart Great Value Static Shock, with the Spider powers quickly tacked on both because they knew that just making Marvel Brand Static Shock would probably get them sued, and because they wanted to ride the coattails of Marvel's greatest, most recognizable hero because they knew Miles would not be able to stand on his own.
@@ReaperGrimm5594People don’t really enjoy Miles for what he is, they like the concept of Miles pre movie.
@@ReaperGrimm5594 I don't think neither DC or Marvel would care about getting sued by the other.
They ripoff each other all the time. Like come on, not long ago DC created their own Spiderman. Sideways, who is unapologetic Spiderman but with Nightcralwer's powers.
And for a time they turned Black Spider into literally just Spiderman. But evil.
So if anything they can hold that over DC if they made their own Static.

A fair reminder, in some comics, Spidy is outright banned from other poker games. which is also hilarious
What had me flabbergasted the most is the fact that Strange was able to go toe to toe with Galactus and recreate the entire universe and its exact timeline for what I think was millions of years which I'm sure took a lot of concentration, will, and brainpower, but he lost all his money to this big round ol mentos gum looking queball. But the part where Spidey absolutely played Fisk and the look on his face had me dying, so it was worth it.
Spider-Man had the beyonders power for a second and recreated the multiverse
Strange just can't bluff. He rarely needs to, he's powerful enough to back up almost any threat he makes. He just has no experience lying.
@@mitchhaelann9215 also anytime he would want to lie the god/whatever usually has magic truth serum

I have seen all future possibilities. The funniest one is the one where Spidey beats Kingpin. - Strange thought... possibly
The fact that kingpin would go out of his way to use the twenty dollars he'd get from Spiderman to illegally buy a Cuban cigar is just another level of petty and I love it
It's the maniacal laughing from Spidey at the end that really makes it. Just like Kingpin takes a lot of pleasure in embarrassing the heroes, Spidey takes a particular enjoyment in embarrassing the villains.
Spider-Man being able to sense when people are bluffing is reasonable, I mean how else can Spidey tell a villain is lying and about to ambush him. I love it when the hero humiliates the villain instead of just beating them normally. Like imagine the story "Ya so Kingpin crashed our poker night and Spider-Man beat him completely.".
Wolverine is a great poker player too coz he can smell if someone is lying.

As much as I love a good action story with highs stakes, clashing ideologies, and conquering impossible odds. There is something special about the "downtime episodes". The "needless filler" as some would call it, that shows the cast in a more normal day to day setting. Stuff like this puts a smile on my face. Seeing the heroes, and villain's, doing something they enjoy for the sake of having fun. It makes them feel more human. I love these kind of stories, and I feel there's not many of them.

-Wait, I'm with Kingpin on this one, how does Spidey have four nines if Kingpin's holding two of them? There are only four of each card in your standard deck, one of each suit. They may be using multiple decks shuffled together, but that's really only done at casinos and competitive tournaments, not at causal get-togethers like this. And Kingpin's reaction to the hand seems to confirm that he knows there shouldn't be more than four nines in the deck. Admittedly it might be explained in a panel that wasn't shown here, but just from what's shown in the video it looks like either Spidey cheated in order to win, or Kingpin was cheating the whole time, and this was Spidey's way of calling him out on it without directly stating it.-
EDIT: Nevermind, I'm an idiot. They're playing Hold 'Em, so two of the nines are on the table. You can even see it at 3:00. Leaving this up so others can revel in my stupidity, and possibly have this question answered for them before they ask it themselves.
As far as I could tell they never showed his hand just the spread (don't know what it's actually called) kingpin said he had a full house over nines so that means his two cards could've been 2 queens, 2 twos, or 2 of whatever that left most card is. If we were to assume he had 2 nines then his hand would've been 4 nines high queen same as Spidey which is clearly not what he stated
2 of his 9's come from the board same as spideys other 2. in poker you make a hand based on the cards on the board and your 2 own

A mask that covers his face, spider-sense that can see through bluffing, and fingers that cards can stick too. Yeah, not someone who I'd play with.
Even once for no actual stakes (as in, with play-money)? Sure, one would expect to lose in that situation, but like, could still be interesting, right? Or maybe the experience wouldn’t be much different from just losing normally? Hmm. I’m not sure, I’m not experienced with poker.
I love that Peter just being who he is made Reed straight up "I love being a Hero", to inspire one of if not THE smartest man on Earth is just spectacular to say the least

He _did_ beat me in a poker game that one time… fuck it the old broad dies
Next thing you know: Kingpin was absolutely destroyed and humbled hard.
Spidey Literally ended the comic with "LMFAO"😂
It’s completely reasonable that his spider sense can help him in poker like this. I honestly can believe that his abilities would try to protect him from the harm of his wallet being hurt even, what I have a hard time believing is that anyone aware of his spider sense’s capabilities to do that would let him play and I feel like Peter would be good natured enough to make that apparent. Is there some context I’m missing regarding the accepted level of fairness the players have for almost uncontrollable powers and how they can influence the game?
Besides Kingpin, no one gets to keep the money. They're playing with friends and the winner chooses which charity the money goes to. His friends don't mind if Peter has an advantage and Kingpin believes he's superior to everyone.
Like the guy above me said, it's just a chance to hang out with friends. Showcased by the fact they let Spidey keep his mask on during the game. Except with Kingpin, in which case I can imagine everyone silently chuckling to themselves about Spidey's unfair advantage
@@danfelder8062 but was he seated (and playing/about to play) at the table before Fisk arrived???

Love me some spidey side stories. My favorite superhero since like 10 years old has been Spider-Man, it is always fun to see him in a normal scenerio and see what he acts like outside of his adventures. Especially since we as Spider-Man fans are so used to seeing him go through hell.
My favorite hero-villain interactions are the ones where the costumes don't matter and the gadgets aren't a factor. I absolutely _love_ stuff like this story!
Maybe that's why I liked _Darkwing Duck_ and _ReBoot_ so much…
It is refreshing seeing villains and heros just play a nice game. King Pin wins and does more crime, the heros win and they donate to charity. Seems fair to me.
All in all, just things being normal. Nothing world ending just a little chill and play. Not only that, kingpin might have lost, but in the end, he has basically contributed to a positive movement. If I asked him if he ever cared about losing that $300,000, he would probably would have said " In hindsight, I hate the principal of me losing to a couple of clowns in spandex, but a couple of chum change ain't gonna hurt me. In my eyes, it was fair. An eye for an eye, ya know." He probably hated losing to spidey, but in my opinion (and his if he can get over it) it's probably better than losing to the house that he doesn't own.
@@timloth2994 He was massively upset because he got played by Spiderman. It wasn't about the money here. It is chump change to him but he wanted to prove his superiority to them, and instead he got spanked by the guy he hates the most in front of everyone.
Kingpin was looking to embarrass the heroes, not in front of the public, but for his own personal enjoyment. Instead now the heroes are going to talk how he got schooled by Spiderman in a poker game and that story will spread among the heroes. Kingpin's going to throw a fit in his home.

Honestly this is something we could do with more of in media. Heroes just sitting around with their biggest foes after a battle or whatever and just chatting and such. Thats a whole niche that I'd love to see more of in movies and shows
Flash kinda does something like that.
I would love a series on this
I’d love to hear like Yuri Lowenthal dubbing this comic, I feel like his voice would be perfect for Spidey laughing his ass off at the end
What's even funnier is imagining this in context with the background. The Thing donates $212 to one charity, Doctor Strange manages a $150 donation to another, then Spidey drops 400 grand on his choice before the next week a different charity gets $300 from Captain America. The idea of all these charities comparing and wondring why Spider-man of all people is apparently Mr. Moneybags is kinda hilarious in a mundane way.
Another poker game scene I recently saw was a group of DC villains having a poker night and discussing what city is the best place to score, and one pipes up, "What about Central City?" and everyone else there is going, "NNNNnnnnnnooooooo!!! The Flash is the worst hero you can encounter," and then go into stories about how Flash has defeated and humiliated various villains because of his "nice guy" attitude.
Honestly stuff like this is why the current nightwing and flash runs are my current favorite on going comics its not all bad guy this and despair its their day to day lives blended in with their heroics it gives a sense of normalcy that makes the characters feel real and natural.
I think Spidey should have tucked a twenty into Kingpin's pocket and said something to the effect of "Here's a Cuban on me."
Why would he do that?
@@--CHARLIE-- Because it's the most _insulting_ thing he could possibly do.
And this is why I love Kingpin. Because he's at the top and he KNOWS it. But when someone kicks him down a notch, it's all the more satisfying.

The most Unrealistic superhero is Spider-Man because he has so many bad things happen to him and he is still alive not trying to take his own life
See, this is what I want from a Spider-Man TV show or any animated superhero show. I know there’s that episode of Batman, where the villains all are telling stories, and I want more things like that: just the interpersonal connections and discussions they have.
Thank you for sharing this. That has got to be the most maniacal laugh Spidey has ever had.
Any scene that involves poker always gets me hyped. The execution of the perfect bluff or ungodly luck will always be exciting when you build it right.
You're one of the few and best in this. Other comic book shorts channels don't even show which comics they took the information from... It's infuriating.
ngl i fully expected a panel of MJ with another guy immediately after it showed spidey swinging with flowers
One of my favorite supervillian/hero concepts is the "it's just a job" type. Where while they are "on the clock" doing their evil deeds, they are evil and dastardly, but it's simply all part of the gig, and once they are "off the clock" they act like more or less normal people. It opens so many opportunities for fun interactions and characterisation when the villian can say they aren't there to cause trouble and are just buying their groceries like anybody else. Venture Bros did this well, and the book series "Cape High" has masterful world building based on a very different relationship between villains and heros.
I agree on enjoying seeing heroes hang in their off time. We come to expect action as the default, so it makes a nice shake up, and we get to see characterization and interactions brought to the forefront. And sure, fights let writers characterize, but seeing them just living their lives offers insights you don't get from fights.
2:19 the most doctor strange thing ive seen
I love how Kingpin clarifies that will buy a cuban cigar ILLEGALLY
the greatest thing about this isnt that its a poker game or that there isnt any world ending stakes but the fact that in the end, Spider-man isnt getting fucked over per usual.
Been loving the frequency in the uploads bro! Mullet-Man fans be eating good this week.
I swear if there's a spider man's story where the Son is about to explode. Or something like that and Spider-man has to defeat The villain by playing a urno match and then spider man wins and the dude. Becomes depressed and then spider man is kind of like a therapist and understands the guy as he lost everything and uno is the only Wait for the guy to enjoy life and so spider man understands the guy and become his best friend And it's the best spider man story it's the stupidest it's the saddest and it's all Of that and all that you could possibly think of
I love these genuine interactions between characters where they are out of their usual superhero/villain lives and just hanging out. Like the Rhino getting Spiderman a birthday present
The greatest Win Spider-Man ever earned in anything ever.
Donating hundreds of thousands of Kingpin's money to charity, followed by a victory lap of laughing all the way home to MJ.
I like to imagine that to this day, Kingpin can still hear the sound of Peter laughing through the busy New York streets.
Don't know why, but personally have a soft spot for when enemies can find common ground. Also fairly hilarious given spidy who has tangoed with kingpin time and time again took his money so easily. At least it was for a GOOD cause after all and unlike usual kingpin played fair and square and was a man of his word.
Batman playing Rummy with Darkseid
I also enjoy the comics where the heros just chill the most. It's just unique to see them like that
Always cool seeing villains and heros interacting normally
I love how I read every kingpin line in Vincent D'Onofrio's Wilson Fisk voice. Love getting to see this comic as well. It's always wonderful when we get to see the heroes being down to earth, being human. Good pacing for the pages too. Fast enough to keep you hooked, but slow enough to read and pause if necessary.
Also, is this the same comic series where spiderman was actually banned from playing poker with other heroes? Due to his spider sense making it impossible to win?
I had this comic, it was so weird to see not an action but a poker with villians)
I always love when iconic heroes and villains meet up snd just be chilling
that's actually one of my favourite artists from reading Marvel Adventures as a kid! God it feels amazing to see their art again~
FINALLY A HAPPY ENDING FOR SPIDER-MAN (let’s not talk about the ending🤫)
Correct me if I'm wrong but I thought the one specific reason Spidey doesn't normally attend these is because he isn't invited for fear his spider sense gives him an advantage, which it doesn't because it never activates for people he doesn't consider a threat
This is likely before that’s established. And his spider sense warns of all dangers to his well-being, including his financial well-being when gambling (at least after this story but possibly during too)
I would think in a friendly game, his sense wouldn't kick in.
Non threats shouldn't kick it in to much either I would think, like a hug
The best stories, in my opinion, are the ones where we can just see our favorite heroes and villains just be and act like normal people.
This was a fun start to my day. Thanks for putting it out there
We need to see this happen in the MCU. I don't care if it's a "What-If?" episode, but I'd love to see it in the Disney + Spiderman cartoon or in the upcoming trilogy.
I would also accept a Daredevil / Kingpin card game.
I know Kingpin likes to have big dick energy moments, but MAN, his plan of angering Dr Strange, sorcerer supreme, protector of the multiverse, magic user with enough magic to make him and everyone he loves disappear without a trace, Human torch the living star, Invisible Woman the strongest Fantastic Four member, Mr Fantastic tied for the smartest being not only on earth but the universe, The thing, a guy who grew up in the bad streets and is ready to throw down, Black Cat, on again off again anti-hero with luck powers and willingness to kill (Sometimes at least), Spider-man, a guy who would humiliate him in 10 different ways if he ever stopped holding back etc, and thinking they wouldn't just erase his memory and steal his shit after saying he'd use it for bad reasons, was ill thought of to say the least, specially when you consider many of them there (Dr Strange, Black Cat, Mr Fantastic etc) have have been shown willing to do some BAD stuff with the right motivation
idk why but the best part for me was peter saying "yoink" as he take the plate
The most peaceful non-destructive way Spiderman fought Kingpin 😂
