At this point, I'd think Spider-man could say "Sorry if I seemed like a dick lately, Doc Ock put his mind in my body for a while" and everyone would be like "oh, yeah, that would explain it. No worries, buddy, glad you're back." I mean, that's exactly the kind of shit that happens to superheroes all the time, you'd think they'd be used to it.
It's especially the kind of shit that would happen to Spider-Man
The best part of all this is that when Spider-Ock was in the drivers seat EVERYONE THOUGHT he was mind-controlled and Ock went through some ridiculous hoops to prove he was still just Peter.
So when he finally went back to normal everyone went, "AAAH we knew it!"
Do you think of Arrow as “the one with the abs”? Don’t know your Captain Cold from Professor Zoom on The Flash? Did you give up on Agents of SHIELD once you realized you didn’t care who the Clairvoyant was? If yes, it might be time to graduate to a superhero drama that’s a bit more mature. Don’t worry, you don’t have to watch Blue Bloods (yet). We’re talking about Netflix’s first Marvel series Daredevil, which is unbinged April 10. It may be the only current superhero TV series that doesn’t seem like it was created to sell lunch boxes. It’s not just that Daredevil’s lead, Charlie Cox, is (gasp!) over 30, it’s that the complex narrative is crafted for more mature audiences. Here’s how the show does it:
haha, wow, fuck you dude.
Right up there with this gem:
No geek badge required: Don’t you know that Dr. Fennhoff showing up on up Agent Carter means he’ll eventually turn into Dr. Faustus who later runs the mind control program that turns Bucky Barnes into the Winter Soldier as seen in the Captain America sequel? No? You don’t know that because you have to do other things to do in your life aside from studying Marvel’s 7,000-character universe.
Wow, someone's got a bug up their butt. Like what makes you think you needed to know that, dude? Dr. Fennhoff on Agent Carter was a perfectly compelling villain all on his own. That foreknowledge was completely unnecessary for understanding or appreciating who he was in the context of the show. And I'll guarantee Daredevil will be full of nods to the overarching Marvel universe as well because that's just something you do when you have a gigantic pre-established universe to play with. But I bet you didn't catch them because you don't seem to care about that stuff.
...why am I directly addressing an author who definitely isn't reading this post?

You didn't quote the worst sentence which is right after that saying "because you have to do laundry."
Like laundry is something that actually takes time. Shit, waiting for laundry to finish is a great time to study the Marvel characters.

I've actually done a lot of laundry during Agent Carter and Agents of SHIELD. Not sure why Tuesday nights became my laundry day, but there you have it.
Angela: Asgard's Assassin #5 thoughts. The first arc is almost over, and it looks like everything is going to fall into place really well. Not sure how it's going to segue into the Battleworld stuff, though.
What I do know is that I'm going to have to pick up the Thor&Loki:Original Sin trade and the Asgard's Assassin trades to share out to my friends because it's one hell of a story, and I'm pretty sure they are sticking this landing.
That final page of Angela tossing the baby into the furnace is incredible, and I'm in love with the fact that the storytelling scene in this issue was Angela vs Thor and not a flashback. Amazing use of the style they've set up in previous issues.
I find myself rereading these issues a lot because they're so pretty.
man, I am really not looking forward to the Natasha/Bruce love connection that has been hinted at
Why
Because there's already a fair amount of romance in Marvel films and their headlining ass kicking Black Widow doesn't need a shoehorned relationship that feels super weird given Natasha was terrified of Banner in Avengers 1.

Her being terrified of the Hulk is exactly why I find a romance with Bruce to be a really interesting angle

but I expected it to be too high- maybe about 3k, you know?
the marvel wiki says 40,000 characters

I thin that 40,000 number includes alternate realities and generally any character of any significance, no matter how minor.

yeah, absolutely.
but it still strikes me as funny that he could have done a cursory google and made it sound even worse

and chest hair!
Fuck he looks awesome.
Joss Whedon I would like to vomit on your shoes.
Weirdly enough one of the things I'm looking forward to most based on trailers and commercials (and that image) is Widow's new weaponry and gadgets
I've always liked how he is quietly one of the most powerful members of the team most of the time
It's the worst thing.

We haven't seen the film
"Sorry, but to be a strong independent woman you can't have a love life"
I'm sure Widow is still going to kick her fair share of asses in Age of Ultron
