No relation? The only reason she was created was so that Marvel could trademark “Spider-Man/Spider-Woman”. Marvel had previously put out a comic titled ‘Wonder Man’, DC sued them because the name was to similar to Wonder Woman. After Marvel discontinued ‘Wonder Man’ DC immediately launches a comic “Power Woman” which…

The best most forward thinking aspect of the movie’s diversity (to me, as a white dude) was that race was not an issue (of any kind) in-story. It was a movie about a kid from Queens going to school in Queens with his naturally diverse classmates. It just... was. It was Peter’s reality, like it’s a whole heck of a lot…

The best part of casting a biracial actress to play the love interest Liz was that it was 100% needed for a very good reason. I’m not going to spoil the surprise but trust me the casting increased the OMG feeling of the reveal by quite a few notches. Even her name “Liz” was specifically chosen to invoke the image of…

This is just being the nerd here but specifically with Jessica Jones and Luke Cage, they have a child together in the comics, so that hook-up and probably continued hook-up is actually part of both of their canon.

Counterpoint: You’re wrong and that was the fucking worst Character Assasination plot EVAR.

This. Was. An. Epic. Description. Perfection.

Especially when you realize that in the Marvel Universe at the time there existed at least one mutant who could regrow a person’s heat that had been literally ripped out of a said person’s chest, and yet he, or anyone else in the Marvel Universe except for the Devil, can’t heal an old lady dying of a bullet wound.

Can’t we all just agree that Peter Parker as a character is basically a whiny asshole with a massive guilt complex and will do anything to make himself feel better, including selling his marriage to the Devil just like he did in one of the worst Spider-Man comics ever made?

Could you approve me? Please and thanks!

So wait —

I had the pleasure of attending high school (Decatur, Ga) with this beautiful sister who wrote this article. She was very outgoing, brave, and intelligent. In fact, she was one of the first ever black cheerleaders at an almost but changing white high school.

Hey Peeps! Staggering in late as usual. Old VSB commenter. Shiny, new name.
