    So technically, technically, Spider-Man had the date first. Well, at least they announced it first. Still though, it’s really not a good situation. Both cater to Marvel fans and both demand many hours of our precious time. I mean, what do we do? Stop playing what will probably be the best Spider-Man game ever to watch Iron Fist or vice versa? I don’t think so! And we have to watch Iron Fist because people drop spoilers online! I don’t know, but hey, at least we have something to do while Spider-Man installs…

    Look at the 10 rings in that picture, and think of what could have been. Watch the trailer below, and imagine what we were promised. The Mandarin. The Iron Man villain we had been waiting for since Iron Man 1. They were going to tie it together so perfectly, with the Ten Rings terrorist organization that kidnapped Tony coming full circle, their leader finally showing his face. With quotes like “Heroes, there is no such thing”, “Some people call me a terrorist, I consider myself a teacher”, and “You’ll neverrrrr seeeee me coming”. We were terrified. We were excited. We were ready. And what did we get? Trevor. Trevor Slattery. Oh, and Aldrich Killian wailing “I am the Mandarin!” Well, at least we’ve got All Hail the King…

    Well, when you’re working a low-paying job, you’ve got big boy bills to pay, and your blog isn’t really making you any money *cough* thanks a lot *cough*, luxuries like comic books kind of fall out of the budget. I would love to go to the comic book store, but I feel strange when I just browse and don’t buy anything, especially since a lot of comic book stores close down. But I should really go more often.

    I understand the SDCC Exclusives, like Jane Foster, Dormammu and now Magik. Not everyone has a chance to get them, so that’s fine. But when I spend months, going from barren Walmart toy section to barren Walmart toy section, gathering each piece of a giant Build-A-Figure, forced to buy a random Marvel villain nobody wants just so I can get the head or the torso, I really get steamed when Hasbro puts out the full, complete figure years later! Now that, that stings.

    About 4 years. Countless hours. Hundreds of dollars. Prestige level 60 Spider-Man with level 60 Captain America and Cyclops in tow. So many cool costumes, from Jim Lee Jean Grey to Netflix Daredevil. Awesome sidekicks like Quake, Falcon, and Firestar. A Marvel game where I could be whoever I wanted, fight whoever I wanted, and live the dream in the Marvel Universe. Gone. In the blink of an eye. Marvel Heroes… Never forget.

    This being my favorite Spider-Man show, ever, of all time, I think that this problem hits me twice as hard as the others. I heard somewhere that he was going to find MJ in London, modeling, with her memories erased. Also, if Spider-Man Unlimited was a loose continuation of this series, as it is often said to be, then one could assume that he did eventually find her. But the thing is we’ll never know for sure. As far as I’m concerned, Peter and Madame Web are still lost in a void of reality, searching for, but never finding, Mary Jane Watson.

    I mean, I can’t be the only one, right? Especially when she starts flirting (or not, since Cap’s seen it up close and that wasn’t it) with Bruce at the bar in Avengers Tower. That and the ‘missed my window’ shower scene at the Barton farm just, I don’t know, unsettles me. It’s awkward, weird, cringe worthy, definitely forced, had no payoff in Infinity War,  and every single time the ‘Bru-tasha’ scenes come up, I either fast-forward, or go do something else until it’s over.

    The sad thing is that it’s such a great service. A mere pittance of $10 monthly for access to nearly every comic Marvel has ever written, with new ones showing up only months after they’re published! Anytime I hear that a movie, or a season of a show will be based on a certain run I haven’t read yet, I fire it up and read the entire thing! But I always find myself just, never really using it. At least not as often as I should. I really gotta try harder on this one, and if you don’t have Marvel Unlimited, I highly, highly suggest it!

    In a Marvel Legends wave that had Deadpool, 90’s bomber jacket Rogue, Phoenix, Cable, Shadowcat, and Iceman, all basically for the first time from Hasbro, who would have thought that the orange and brown suit Wolverine would be the hardest to find! Sad thing is I saw him, in Walmart, for $20, but let him sit there because I thought I could wait on him. Now, my Juggernaut will be forever without his head…
