I will say, though, that while on an emotional level it will always bother me if they don't bring back "With great power...", intellectually I do love watching them squirm, right? So we had:

Raimi: "With great power comes great responsibility."

Then:

Webb: "Your father believed that if you could do something to help people, it was your duty to do those things."

And then:

MCU: "Because when you can do things I can, and you don't? And then the bad things happen? They happen because of you."

So I can only assume the next reboot will be something like: "Wherefore as a person or persons is possessed of some unique capabilities, and being so possessed has the agency with which to enact change, they should and must then comport themselves in a manner displaying all due responsibility of such a station."

@Eddie Brock

Nah. You used 'responsibility.' That won't do, you may confuse the audience.

What's that? Discussing the Homecoming supporting cast? How did this can of worms get here? The central problem I have with it is that the supporting cast is written like a bad RPG writer who shoehorns references even when they don't fit, just to sneak an established name in there. (Hey, that kettle over there looks pretty black; maybe I should say something...)

Seriously, though. Ned is just Ganke. But they didn't want to use the name Ganke, so eh, just take a name from elsewhere in the supporting cast gallery. Who cares? (Hint: this guy.) Michelle is a fine character, but there's no reason to call her MJ; even if you try to walk it back and pretend it was just a wink. If Flash Thompson is going to share absolutely nothing in common with his comic counterpart except that they're both dicks to Peter, then why not give him his own identity? Even the little girl on the morning show has to be called Betty Brandt, even that though defies all logic. (Sure, I'm splitting hairs on that one, but it's a symptom of the "disease.")

There's an almost pathological fear in inventing new characters, even though characters created outside the comic pages have sometimes done just fine for themselves. Harley Quinn, to name the obvious one. Phil Coulson, to stick within the MCU.

@Eddie Brock

My laptop decided to shit itself seven hours ago, so I'm stuck on mobile with the inability to like posts. And I won't care anymore once I'm able to again. So take this as a psuedo-like.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions here.

@Lord Wraith

Lois though is fully going to Erica Durance

@Lord Wraith

Even when they are wrong.

This is the part that makes him the devil, yes.

@Superboy

Then a large percentage of this country suddenly just became candidates for a yellow lantern ring.

He is literally the devil.

@Superboy

Technically he has a demon inhabiting his body. The devil, although varied throughout the various hellish dimensions, is currently Asmodel. If you want to be kind, I'm sure one could argue that Lucifer is still the holder of that title. But Daniel? He's just a skinny little virgin.

Daniel? An entity for fear? Interesting choice.

The only one out of my six massively sprawling list of content he didn't like was the only scene with "action" in it. As little action as there may have been.

I am taking this to mean that I should never include any action in future posts. Only introspection and internal monologues.
Furthermore, he has liked the one where there wasn't a single line of dialogue. My protagonists will now be mute.

I'm doing this for you, Michael. <3

Gowi liked my most recent post but not the previous one. How rude.

I have no clue. Though it's always been kind of a thing that Harleen became a doctor at Arkham at a young age and right out of college, so... maybe? Eh, even that's a stretch. I feel like those ages should be reversed, if anything. If not marking Babs' age down to a 21-22 at peak Batgirl.

@Master Bruce

I mean, when I was playing Harley as Batgirl in two past games, I had Babs in her friend group in order to eventually set up future Bat dynamics. But, even with this being a world in which Harley was over a decade younger than Bruce and his ward, I still had Babs being the youngest out of her friend group.

I don't know, the whole Barbara romance thing aside, that gif is weird.
