Spider-Man joins Marvel CU

This all reminds me of a few things.

1: From 'Stand By Me'
Vern: Do you think Mighty Mouse could beat up Superman?
Teddy: What are you, cracked?
Vern: Why not? I saw the other day. He was carrying five elephants in one hand!
Teddy: Boy, you don't know nothing! Mighty Mouse is a cartoon. Superman's a real guy. There's no way a cartoon could beat up a real guy.

2: I was at a comic convention years ago, and overheard two boys (probably about 10 years old), talking. One asked the other "Who do you think would win between Wolverine and Yoda?"
It stuck with me because i thought it was so incredibly stupid... OBVIOUSLY Yoda. Then I realized what a nerd I was for even bothering with answering the question in the first place. THEN I realized... this sort of question was never going to go away.

3: And finally, from Fight Club:
Norton's Character: If you could fight any celebrity, who would you fight?
Tyler: alive or dead?
Norton's Character: Doesn't matter. Who'd be tough?
Tyler: Hemingway. You?
Norton's Character: Shatner, I'd fight William Shatner.

I thought Toby did 'nerd' much better. But I don't understand all the nerd-rage for Andrew Garfield. I REALLY don't.

I ALSO don't mind them trying to make Spider-Man's origins a little different, with Richard being a bioengineer. It actually makes 'bitten by a radioactive spider' seem a lot less stupid. A LOT less stupid.

I just imagine some other guy saying "I got bitten by a radioactive spider too and all I got was cancer and necrosis."

A friend of mine is fine with everything in the marvel cinematic universe... except the SHIELD helicarrier... so i guess we just all have different things that break our suspension of disbelief.

he used Bing!

that is NOT a nerd move!

Also a huge chunk of fodder for the 'who would win' arguments is the 'JLA/Avengers' 4 issue series, compiled into one graphic novel. Drawn by George Perez... who has drawn both Avengers and Justice League in the past, and starring about a jillion characters.

Perhaps my absolute favorite moment in it is when Hercules (from Marvel comics) faces Wonder Woman
Wonder Woman: You are Hercules, then? Dispoiler of Hippolyta?
Hercules: I would not use those words, myself, but I did have the honor of...
Wonder Woman punches him before he can finish the sentence. As a fan of mythology, I found this hilarious.

And THIS panel...

Yet oddly, I don't think that Superman would be deemed worthy of wielding Mjolnir since he is the boy scout. Thor and Beta Ray Bill have no quarrel about killing while Superman does

He only holds it temporarily. Later, he's unable to lift it.
Thor: There is an Enchantment 'pon my hammer, laid by my father Odin. It is not... easily lifted by others.
Superman: I held it before.
Thor: My father is stern, Superman, but not stupid. A very few worthies have been allowed to overcome the spell in desperate hours.

EDIT: And really... it's all worth it just for that one shot. Look at it! It's frickin' AWESOME!

I agree on the shot. Just didn't know that he couldn't lift it later

I really like the Beta Ray Bill character when I was younger. Use to draw him a lot.

Have not even thought about the character in many years.

I like him because he's not your usual run of the mill guy and he actually bested Thor but was man enough to save his ass too

So who would win if Captain Kirk fought the Smurfs?

Well, it depends. Do you mean Shatner Kirk or Chris Pine Kirk? Is it pre or post-smurfette, and is the fight on the Enterprise, in the Smurf Village, or a neutral ground?

In general, I'd give it to Kirk, particularly if he can spread the beam on his phaser to take out multiples in one shot, but if Papa Smurf had access to making potions, then I'd give it to the Smurfs.

Gareth · **Reply #42 on:** February 14, 2015, 05:47:18 PM

If there are some crystals, large bore bamboo and the components of gunpowder handily lying around, I'd vote for Kirk.
