One thing that I'm constantly forgetting about octopuses is that they have more than two limbs. Also, I am a super scientist.

Spider man has had too many TBIs. Broski wear a fucking helmet my guy

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

That's actually a solid idea for a remodel since they keep fucking rebooting characters anyway: give Spider-Man a helmet.

Safety first!

In the japanese version he had a huge mecha

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 4 points 4 months ago

That's like a helmet plus!

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

So few super heroes wear any type of armor. Magneto wears a helmet, but mostly to stop Prof. X's powers. Batman wears some. Ironman has a whole ass suit. Superman is indestructible so he doesn't need it. Captain America only has a shield. I think that's it.

You'd think we the amount of hand-to-hand combat they do they'd wear something to protect themselves. Even Vegeta knows to wear armor and he's stronger than like 99% of superheroes.

wait doctor octopus has six arms?

[–] Ericthescruffy@hexbear.net 17 points 4 months ago (2 children)

4 mechanical arms, 2 human arms....and 2 human legs. So technically 8 limbs total.

[–] heggs_bayer@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

Doc Oc should do Muay Thai. It's the art of the 8 limbs, but that's just for people with a standard number of limbs. If he did it it would be, like, the art of 16 limbs. That's a lot of limbs.

His name is a LIE!

Or he's not counting his legs.

[–] GalaxyBrain@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

It's 4 mech arms, two human arms for a total of six and then the legs count for the total of 8 limbs. I like doc oc, he shows the tragedy of a guy who makes robot arms that turn him evil. It's pretty relatable

As a comic dork, i really hate when writers just ignore the characters powers (I would imagine they should probably consider it a creative "rule set") for the sake of a cool panel or explosion. To make a very soy joke turns directly to the camera it's just lazy writing.

However, I like drama in my stories and so I can't be too mad at 'em.

[–] Belly_Beanis@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

I rarely read superhero comics anymore because "bleh." Way too much reliance on McGuffins, deus ex machinas, and recycled plotlines. It doesn't seem like there's much thought into superpowers or how superheroes affect society.

For example, Spiderman. If he invents his own webs (rather than it being a power), he'd accomplish much, much more by sharing that invention. Imagine the industrial applications of Spiderman webs. It can be stored in a small cartridge, shoots long distances, and is sturdy. Why isn't Spiderman giving that shit to emergency services and hospitals? Why is he only using it to tie up bank robbers?

Then there's all the vigilante shit. Because you have special powers, you can just break the law and assault people? Or you don't have to buy malpractice insurance? Oh neat my car got totalled on the way to work because some asshole with a savior complex threw it at an alien (also aliens are real and your reaction is to throw stuff at them? What the fuck).

They're literally waving back there

Spider-Man is designed to be relatable, and there's nothing more relatable than constantly forgetting things

CTE results in some memory loss but I don't think to that extent

Is this the one where they fight in a museum?
