Cool! Speaking of red supers, anyone know if Spider-man is good anymore?

Completely agree. Armored adventures spends too much time on the Wambulance.
What put the nail in the coffin? One more day, anti-venom, turning Flash Thompson into Venom, or one of the other many terrible things that have been doen in Spider-man story-lines.
Undestandable. I mean, the mere fact that the right way for them to break-up is for Spidey to MAKE A DEAL WITH THE DEVIL is rediculous. And this is coming from a guy who used to voluntarily worship the devil.
Yeah...yeah it is just as stupid as we all thought it would be. This would be a good character if it WAS ANYONE BUT EDDIE BROCK! MAKE EDDIE VENOM AGAIN! Flash is not Venom with the symbiote, he is just a guy with a symbiote who uses guns. Basically Spawn....which is a clear rip of Venom. Cyclical ain't it?
It's been so long since I've followed Spider-Man. It's literally been since the Clone Saga. I think I stopped reading around the time that they killed off Dr. Octapus. Since then, the only Spider-Man I've read are tie-ins for crossovers, like Civil War and Siege. They have done everything in their power to destroy the character of Spider-Man, none more-so than One More Day. HEROS DO NOT MAKE DEALS WITH SATAN, especially Spider-Man. If I recall, there were many times before that when Mephisto has tried to tempt Peter, but he's always refused and proved to be the better man. There are no words strong enough to express how much I hate what Joe Quesada has done to my former favorite super hero.
MJ made a different deal, I think.
It actually got really good again when J Michael Stracynzki took over around 2000.... then it went down hill again.... and then back up again (I thought) during Civil War, until, well, y'know. The last Spider-Man I read, Peter had tracked the shooter that put Aunt May in the hospital, learned he was employed by the Kingpin, broke into prison and beat the ever-loving shit out of Kingpin in front of all the inmates, and told him if Aunt May died from that shot, he'd be coming back.
The Civil War was back when I had a subscription with Marvel that usually got me my issues 1-3 months after said issue was on the shelf at the comic book store, and I often received 2 of the same one. After the forementioned comic, they didn't send me another until part two of Brand New Day. And that's whe I stopped reading Amazing Spider-Man for the third time.
....I am seeing this fucking movie. I am seeing this FUCKING movie. BUT-got a bit of catchin' up in the movies.
In the Marvel sense, sure. His father, Odin, would be considered a full-on god.

Technically, Thor being a Demi-god or actual God depends on which interpretation you're reading. Norse mythology isn't as tightly chronicled as many other religions. Generally, in most of the poetic eddas, Thor is the son of Jord, who is alternately referred to as a giantess and a goddess, so he could be either or.

Due to the backlash similar to what I said above, they retconned it so that it was MJ that made the deal, freeing Peter from the actual responsibility.
I believe That Random Guy estimated the worst that could come:
Would've been funnier if he'd gotten into some actual worst case scenarios of how the movie could actually be screwed up.
Like Joss Whedon killing a character solely for shock value.

If he does, it'll be Hawkeye. He's the only one Marvel won't be able to spin off into their own successful film franchise.
Also referring to Buffy stuff, but yeah.
Just because someone's leaving a show doesn't mean you have to kill their character. You never know when you'll need it again.

It sounds better than Sharona's reason for leaving Monk. Why the hell would she get back together with her husband? She hated that guy!
Which is why she finally dumped his ass in the final season. It's why the skinny cop guy took that job in Jersey: He wanted a shot with Sharona.

One early loose end that sort of got chuck cunninghammed was that he would uncharacteristically forget he'd already solved some part of Trudy's murder. I was sort of wondering where they were going with that. I also didn't much care for the issue where Randy finally tried to stand on his own by taking over his family farm, except it was really Monk who did all the work in the end.
So keep watching Monk then? Okey dokey.
Comparing Marvel Thor to actual Norse mythology is a bit like comparing the lyrical stylings of Led Zeppelin and the Backstreet Boys.
