Ah, must have misread that.
Question, know of any way to calculate the force to push that S-02 that far back? It just looks impressive.

I previously tried calculating the Slayers volume by calculating it's different shapes and whatnot, although now i realize it would be easier to just take the weight of a ladybug and upscale it

I keep mixing people up, why does this happen

Is that what the Spider Hunter's are based off of? I know the S-01 is a crab/whatever, and the s-02 is a worm/snake, but that's just funny to think the Hunters are based on ladybugs.

I'm pretty sure the S-01 is a ladybug
- 11,513
- 8,285
Ah, it does sorta look like one. Though for the s-02, I'm pretty sure a size was already calculated for it.

Yes
Do you have a clip of Spidey sending it back

Tbh that only looks 9-A, since it looks like he sent only it's head flying and not the whole body
- 11,513
- 8,285
Huh, looked like he sent the some body flying anyways. Though this may take the task of playing it and observing how close the body is to the building.

Quick note to make, Spidey can survive getting slammed into the ground by the S-02's tentacles. Doesn't mean much, but its food for thought.
- 11,513
- 8,285
Ok so there's about 9-10 segments of the S-02 that are shown on the side Peter is fighting on the building. From the push, it seems like most if not all of these segments are pushed backwards, along with the head. If you're able to use that S-02 size calculation, maybe you could find the weight and size that Spidey had to kick to figure out the AP?

Unless they mess it up, and they could, this might be the best use of the Spot in a looooong time

What was the last time
- 3,183

When he returned as a silent serial killer tying up loose ends and going after people targeting his hospitalized son. He'd lost much of his sanity and his ability to talk, so he gave a letter of his to Spidey for his son (though the letter was written in spots).
He left the scene, never to be seen again.
...Until his next appearance where he was a very different character (I don't expect many characters these days to be handled well anyway).

It's the D-Lister grindset to never have any development stick.

My only experience of Spot comes from the animated series
it's honestly incredible how many obscure characters that series had

Unfortunately, though I'd say that only really started being problematic in the 90s.
Characters like Grizzly who had this hype of being tougher than the Rhino were suddenly pathetic by that point, but before that whenever they showed up the writers treated them with some modicum of respect.
Is it? Considering it set out to be a love-letter to the Ditko-Lee-Romita era I'd say it's to be expected
I don't think Spot was particularly obscure if you weren't too deep into the Spidey comics. Mind-Worm is obscure, not so much Spot. Characters who made only one or two appearances (like Fusion/Twin Terror) are definitely obscure, but TAS definitely made sure people didn't forget about him and his incredible powers, the Time Dilation Accelerator becomes a huuuge plot device throughout the series, especially in Turning Point and in Spider-Wars.

Meh not really, 80s also just invented shit on the fly to service their own plot, only 70s were kinda consistent with the characterization.
This is also ignoring 60s which retconned Golden Age so much it's not even the same verse.
Nah, Grizzly was a loser by the fourth appearance by the 80s, where Spidey had to pretend he lost to him, to cope.
- 3,183

They developed upon previous concepts but they (almost) never retconned things on characters that were before, at least for Spider-Man. It was definitely far more prominent in the 90s and following years.
tbf I think that was done moreso to benefit the story rather than retconning for retconning's sake (or because writers didn't want to go back and read all those Golden Age comics, I can get that especially back then it was pretty difficult, assuming Timely or Atlas still owned any copies of those 40s comics). The characters were still more or less the same personality wise (especially with stuff like Cap's return, considering Kirby co-created him and also drew his return in the Silver Age).
That is very different from being seen as a joke, that story still took him seriously and Pete says as much. Granted, Spidey was also going easy on him, which doesn't make much sense since Grizzly's suit presumably got a boost, but I guess I could let that slide with Spidey just getting better all the time. That story also ends on a nice note, almost everything after that with Grizzly has been very comedic.
That was also December 1989 so I'll take it as 90s

Mmm not really? Kraven immensely got reworked from the kinda cheap **** with ego to being a hyper-capable and honorable hunter, and Sandman got ALOT of character shifts from being a dumb brute to a punch-clock villain.
And yeah if you not isolate to exclusively Spidey sphere, you have Iron Man villains with drastically different personalities every appearance, X-Men characters that went through complete revamps of their personalities under Clairemont, Strange and Captain Marvel who were getting whiplashed every few years due to their comics not selling, and Daredevil, good God, don't make me start on Daredevil going from "I'll have her back by 6 pm" to "She calls me Dare-Daddy too"
I mean the writers ALSO WROTE the Golden Age comics, and also it's not like present-day writers retcon for retconning's sake, they're doing it in benefit of their story and not wanting to read all thr silver age/bronze age comics, literally equivalent logic.
Also no lmao, Golden Age Namor is a different beast, he's written like a kaiju more than any superhero (which imo is a lot more cooler than the whiney brat he is usually)
Meh I mean I'd argue even his appearances in 90s and modern day tend to have him get a nice ending. Dude is basically a reformed superhero modern-day.
bad, comics 90s began mid-90s anyways uwuThat was also December 1989 so I'll take it as 90s

Spot’s best appearances have always been great. His powerset is legitimately creative and effective. I have confidence in the writer’s for SV here

Spot's appearance changing throught the film as he masters his powers also sounds super cool

My favorite comic trope is when they bring back E-lister villains only to kill them in tragic ways
Examples being Mindworm and that dude in the ape costume

Yeah, Sandman's had a surprisingly amount of different plot points written up for him

Naw they'd all be one profile
Are there any good feats to calc from da games? I know Kingpin has a good one but are there any other ones?

Quick question, you gonna calc that kick feat? The one with the S-02 that is.

I'd kind of prefer a separate profile tbh?
- 6,900

I meant a combined profile for all 3 games, since there was a mention of the games not being canon to each other earlier

They are
