Hey, people who read Ultimate Spider Man, I have a Spider-Men related question.
(Spoilers for Spider-Men, I guess? I dunno if anybody cares, but better safe than sorry.)
So, what's the deal with Ultimate Mysterio? Apparently he has robots or something that do most of the heavy lifting?
Ultimate Mysterio is normal Mysterio. Somehow he discovers how to travel to the Ultimate Universe. He sees a ridiculously under prepared world that he can play in with no repercussion so he uses a proxy body to trample around, take over the mob and then search for a powerful cosmic item of almost infinite power.
That doesn't sound different to me than any other religion, honestly
The biggest difference I've always seen is that we were around to see the genesis of it from a science fiction author
As for the things they actually claim to believe, it's just as batshit insane as all other religions, and there's certainly plenty of financial and PR shenanigans going on for other religions as well, even more so. Scientology just doesn't have the numbers or the funds to make it run as smoothly and seamlessly as the others do, combined with the fact that our parents were around to see the birth of it.
But yeah, as an actor, though he'll always be a celebrity first in his roles - he'll never be able to disappear in his characters like Daniel Day-Lewis or Gary Oldman - he does a damn fine job with most of the things he's handed
Scientology violently brainwashes its members, it uses financial means to prevent people from leaving lest they get hit with crushing debts that will completely destroy them, it uses fucking slave labour in the form of the Sea Org which, by the way, is also responsible for child neglect and abuse on a staggeringly huge scale, it runs actual torture chambers where people have died and it has used spies to try and destroy any government records that might be used to incriminate them.
Anyone who says that Scientology doesn't sound much different from any other religion has no fucking clue as to what they're talking about.
in my mind the deal with the clone saga is that some dudes thought it would be funny to clone spiderman a bunch of times and release the duplicates into the wild
sometimes they flipped the 'evil' switch in the brain first, just to see what would happen
it is a dark, dark era of Spider-Man comics and we of the new age should bow out head in thanks that we no longer must suffer it's indignities, save in the form of a reasonably good Scarlet Spider book

so is the scarlet spider a clone or something

The Scarlet Spider is Ben Reilly, the clone of spider-man. During the clone saga it was all ohhh is ben actually the real peter parker or is peter parker peter parker who woke up first ahhhhhhh
but then it was like nah ben reilly was the clone and now he's dead bye

While Langly is right, the editorial intent was, Peter shouldn't be married, so they replaced him with someone who was exactly like him, but not married.

Yeah it'spretty insulting. " I don't like organized religion so all religions are cults that scam idiots hurr."
I could leave Catholicism tomorrow and I'm pretty sure only my mother would harass me in any serious manner. Then if I decided to become jewish or something they wouldn't charge me my entire income for a year and make me work in their salt mines while indoctrinating my children to not be able to survive in the outside world
King Riptor on
I have a podcast now. It's about video games and anime!Find it here.
There was a big two-page spread in Green Lantern Corps a while back that contrasted their various styles. I thought it was neat but apparently some people had problems with it? (Discontent on the internet: shocking revelation, I know.)

That's silly.
Comic books are silly.
they are awesome
When people called me that when I was young, I said a smart arse is when you sit on ice cream, you could tell what flavour it is.

the clone saga is bad
it is terrible!

If this is a real question
yes
but then it was like nah ben reilly was the clone and now he's dead bye

BECAUSE IT WAS THE NINETIES.

aka Peter Parker if he was an angry, kind of amoral dude
he's trying to do the whole "I'm a jerk but I want to be a hero" thing, which is cool
nope
he dyed his hair blonde to differentiate himself from peter
also ben reilly is how they SHOULD have split up the marriage
not this DEVIL DID IT bullshit
especially given that Dan Slott then did his whole "what if Peter grew up and became, like, a responsible adult?" thing
which makes that whole OMD attempt to bring Spider-Man back down to a more "relatable" level laughable
The devil thing is dumb.
But.
It works better. Because this way it's very finite.
The fact that went back to the status quo is proof that it wasn't very finite.
Satans..... hints.....
well it was mostly becuase they had this massive, over-long story that nobody cared about and ben wasn't doing as well as they had hoped
just go "this guy's spider-man now"
were understandably a bit hacked off when they said HEY GUYS THIS IS THE REAL SPIDER-MAN OVER HERE
doesn't really matter who was the clone
should've just said "shit who knows" and let people make their own assumptions
it adds exactly nothing to the story, knowing who's the clone
the important thing is that it gives peter a chance to live a normal life while still have a spider-man banging around punchin fools
I want to know who the fucking clone is
because I do
and anyway, the whole thing was crap
so best to just say "Peter isn't a clone, now let's move on"
But no one wanted Ben to be spiderman because he wasn't Peter.
Satans..... hints.....
and for good reason
people are stupid and dumb
ben was cool
It's the problem that they had with the lanterns.
They keep replacing them and expected people to be happy with the new ones.
And they never were.
Satans..... hints.....
Yeah it'spretty insulting. " I don't like organized religion so all religions are cults that scam idiots hurr."

some people like Kyle because they never read Hal
of course, some people like Kyle because Hal is awful, as is just and right
the thing is you never need to replace a lantern, long term
"they're a new dude in the corps" alright word
Satans..... hints.....
The only episode of Brave and the bold I cannot watch is Hal Jordan's
It's just so fucking boring. But the Wonder Woman teaser is in front of it so I have to risk accidentally seeing part of it.
the way different lanterns make their constructs
hal's a simple dude, all his shit is like "here's a thing doing it's thing wooooo"
john's an architect, builds all his shit piece by piece like a blueprint
kyle's an artist, comes up with wild shit
and guy is guy
either that or just everyone makes boxing gloves all the time
they used to do that all the time
maybe they still do, i don't know, i forgot green lantern existed until just now
also
throwing this out there
the indigo lanterns are pretty cool
the guardians are corrupted by the Entities and shut down the green rings
so the earth lanterns are like "fuck let's use these rings from the other corps, and we'll fuck their shit up"
kyle takes a goddamn blue ring
blue rings are fucking useless without a green one nearby
