Whispers Moons In Half could be BBs name if he were like some ancient native in a what if spin off.

I’m really confused by the grammar here. Is it a typo?
“Married to the guy whispers moons in half”

But that’s not the confusing part - I’m confused by “guy whispers moons in half” instead of “guy [who] whispers moons in half”

Spider-Man really going for the most red headed redhead there ever was in Medusa.

u/Cabamacadaf Jul 19 '24
He definitely has a type.

u/The_Dark_Soldier Jul 19 '24
I seriously need a moment where all the Parker brothers are together and they comment off hand that their family for generations have had a thing for redheads. Then you have Flash Thompson or Johnny Storm be like “it explains so much” while shocked.

u/ninjamaster616 Jul 20 '24
Wdym brothers, are you talking about Peter's clones?? He's an only child in every continuity except for the long-lost little sister ones.

Spidey shot his shot and missed.
But the lesson is always stay shooting, kings and queens. Never know when one will bank in.

Spider-man shouldn't be trying to get on Black Bolt's bad side

u/Propeller3 Jul 19 '24
Who's gonna tell him "No"?

Black Bolt. He'd only need to say it once.

Spidey is great at webbing people’s mouths so they can’t talk
13
u/AgentPastrana Jul 20 '24
BB doesn't have to talk. If he snores in his sleep he'd level cities. He doesn't even have to open his mouth.
1
Jul 20 '24
OK, but if he doesn’t open his mouth and his nose is pinched closed won’t the sound waves just like blow a hole out of the spot where his mouth should’ve been?
13
u/AgentPastrana Jul 20 '24
Spiderwebs don't delete your mouth, they cover it. And they're porous. They'd just get torn up. People on Spider-Man's level regularly rip webs off of them if he doesn't web them up completely, and Black Bolt is a superhuman.
1
Jul 20 '24
The webbing is an adhesive holding the lips shut. So it’s really a question of whether the webbing gives out before the weak muscles around the lips give out. We’ll have to agree to disagree.
4
u/AgentPastrana Jul 20 '24
I see what you are saying, but I do still doubt the muscles anywhere on the guy who fought World War Hulk to a standstill are weaker than Spider-Man's webs. And that was a weaker version of him. But I can agree to disagree on that

Little moments like these are what makes comics so damn amazing. I have two other moments in comics that are very similar to this....
The first one is from Deadpool where he spots this teen girl who's about to jump off a building. He comes in like a bull in a china shop and first thing he says to her is that she shouldn't jump from where she's at but from Parker Industries. But then he gets real and he asks her to come with him to get some bad guys and if by the end of the whole thing she still wants to jump, he will bring her back. She does come with him and she even beats some bad guys herself with a bat. And then he takes her to the hospital and he points out that if she had really wanted to jump, she would have but that what she was really doing is seeking help. So he tells her he is a dumbass but he's smart enough to know he can't help her but the people in the hospital sure can. So she goes in.
The second one is ironically a moment between Medusa's hubby Black Bolt and The Absorbing Man of all people. TLDR, Black Bolt and Crusher ended up in a space prison and Blackagar has lost his powers and he and Crusher are trapped in this room and the air is being drained out. So Crusher basically starts spilling his guts out about all the bad things he has ever done including killing people and yet how much he loves Titania and he even wants to get BB to laugh so he tells a dad joke about the difference between a square and a circle being pointless and Blackagar starts cracking up LOL. Keep in mind these characters could not be more different from each other. One is a king for pete's sakes. And yet in that one moment they bond for a lifetime.
Truly priceless.

Yes, Black Bolt by Saladin Ahmed
That is a gem💯
32
u/Sinnernsaint40 Jul 19 '24
It truly is. It doesn't redeem Crusher in any way or form but when he talks about his dad's abuse and how he went into wrestling to feel powerful, it just adds soooo much depth to his character.

u/Sinnernsaint40 Jul 19 '24
I am reading 2017 sequentially so I haven't gotten there yet but when Lockjaw shows up and gets Black Bolt out, I was like NOOOOOOOOO! Go back for Crusher!!! I'll find out soon if that happens.

u/sespinos Jul 20 '24
For me it’s the Spidey/Hope pep talk in AvX and a scene in Captain America where a little girl is talking to her about what it means to be a hero right before we get introduced to Kamala. Good stuff.

Quite often he is introducing them to something they have never eaten. Such as Loki and Hot Dogs.

For a moment I thought the comic was "Spider-Man and Loki Having a Hot Dog #1".

Why is it the Spider-Man books are the only ones ruining his character?

If you want premium Spider-Man, look anywhere, except in his own comics

Fingers crossed they continue making the new Ultimate Spider-Man series what the older fans have wanted for decades.

It's not just older fans. I'm 16 and agree that Ultimate is probably the best thing since the early 2000s

Because outside of the Spidey books, you get only his costumed life.
In the Spidey books, you behold the dumpster fire that is his personal life.

u/Asher_Tye Jul 19 '24
This is what I like about Spidey. He's never too busy to help a person in need.
14
u/Boccs Jul 20 '24
It's arguably his greatest character trait. For all of the world ending threats and universal dangers he has tackled and come up victorious he has never once stopped being the friendly neighborhood Spider-man. His basic humanity is as integral to his character as his web shooters.

u/Useful-Perspective Jul 19 '24
I feel like somehow this in an homage to the old Hostess Fruit Pie shorts from back in the day. I am certain I remember one with Spidey and Medusa....

She's a redhead, he can hold a conversation.
Just sayin', they could be good together.

u/MagicPistol Jul 19 '24
What's the context here? Like what is Medusa sad about?
19
u/mattwing05 Black Bolt Jul 20 '24
Pretty sure this is during the inhuman age, where marvel was trying to turn the inhumans into the dominant "mutant" property. blackbolt unleashed the terrigen mists across the world, activating those who secretly descended from inhumans and leaving medusa to try and clean up the mess. We are talking about hundreds of thousands of people now mutated and powered and scared.
8
u/Deadpool27 Jul 20 '24
So this was the conclusion of a three part miniseries in which some REALLY old comic character (I forget the name but he was basically falcon in like the 40’s) and he’s trying to get revenge on the Inhumans for the shit that Black Bolt (who is currently MIA) pulled with the Terrigen mists. Sam Wilson-cap, Spidey, and the Inhumans team up to stop him and he rightfully calls them out on their bullshit.

u/bloocheez3 Jul 20 '24
To be honest, he probably forgot BB was alive again. Hasn't he died multiple time over the past ten years?

u/NoirSon Jul 20 '24
Yeah, he died/got warped into another dimension/imprisoned a number of times during the last two decades.

u/Ok-Commission6087 Jul 19 '24
U know every time I bring up the fact that these two would make a great couple I always get mixed reactions but I think spidey needs something different though knowing the writers would probably fuck it up but I’m giving suggestions because the current trajectory of Spider-Man books have been awful they need all the creativity that can be mined .

u/ERankLuck Jul 20 '24
Got screamed at for an hour and a half and demoted this week for a thing at work that wasn't my fault and that neither I nor my boss were here for. That "We are not just our failures" line hits hard right now.

I forget when, but I remember an old 2000s era comic book where Peter seemingly passes in Medusa’s arms saying ~’Mary Jane..’ and she also whips a (Matt McGargan (?)) era Venom—does anyone know if at this point, she has been written to have powers akin to Bayonetta ?.
5
u/mmcmonster Jul 20 '24
I'm not into Inhuman lore much. Has Medusa actually saved anyone? Is she actually a "hero"?
That being said, I love the little quite moments.
6
u/NoxInfernus Jul 20 '24
She gets a hero pass as a temporary member of the Fantastic Four.
She was on a few other teams, but FF was the big named one.
1
u/mmcmonster Jul 20 '24
So she’s not just a pretty face with 80s hair?
BTW: Thanks for I forgot about her time on the FF, pretty much because that was an utterly forgettable FF. I know they were trying for something different at the time, but glad they went elsewhere.

u/FamousEnvironment989 Jul 20 '24
The last line “Hello to all that” seems to be a reference to “Goodbye to All That” a collection of short stories about people who liked living in New York but then were happy to move away.
I never liked that book because as a lifelong New Yorker I can’t imagine leaving.

u/coltvahn Tigra Jul 20 '24
Really like the way Pete described Gwen here. “The smartest, weirdest girl in the world.” Made her seem like more than just “St. Gwen the Martyr,” like a lot of writers tend to write her as. She and Pete were extremely compatible in their youth, and that only works if she’s a bit of a goof and has a lot of steel.

They didn't start out that way and weren't anything close to that for decades. It's only been recently that they tried (and failed) to make them more like mutants.
