in fact sod it, this

in fact sod it, this is the list of web-comics
that I'm working through (and yes they're on the Edge of
Sanity....after all I do have to drive up his bandwidth up too!)
And on a connected note, I went to see Spider-man 2 the other day. Not
bad as comic book adaptations for film go but seemed awfully like a
middle film (see LOTR:The Two Towers). The Spiderman/Peter Parker &
MJ story line got pushed on a good way and in less time that in the
comic books. The most contrived thing (well for me) was the "illness"
he was suffering due to his (effectively) bi-polar personality. I did
like the manifestation of his inner turmoil being demonstrated
physically but some of was just plain bad science. Ok yes I can accept
that his web shooters wouldn't work, on the basis of some form of
voluntary muscle being required and there is a basis of this being
affected by stress/trauma (hmm analogy of impotence springs to
mind...and curiously both are problems with ejecting "white fluid" from
the body...but I'm lowering the tone of this). Could we not have left
it there??? I mean like seriously (sorry forgot the <american>
tags) his eye sight deteriorating and his inability to walk up walls?
Ok the whole leaping about thing I can almost let go on the same
reasoning as his web shooters, but the first film established his wall
crawling abilities as being due to quite a fundamental physical change,
i.e. the millions of little spikes. OK it never explained how it was
that he didn't end up sticking to things inadvertantly, but it does not
appear that a concious effort is required for him to stick to a
wall...he just does when its required...hmm maybe just did talk myself
round that one. But definately the eyesight thing should not have
happened...his eyes just decided to pack it in? erm and then start
working again when he needs them...i'm not convinced.
However despite this complaints (and my trying to spot the mistakes in
the film...and ok yes I did look out for MJ's dress magically changing
form whenever the camera was below her...and the wire reinforced
spiders web...yes and I noticed the guy sitting in the car quite
happily as it collided (or was) with another one) the whole thing was
quite good fun. Not to be taken seriously, but quite good fun. SPOILER
BELOW!
My next question is will Harry forgive and forget that Spiderman caused
the death of his father now that he knows that Peter is Spiderman and
that his Dad was the Green Goblin or will Harry follow in his fathers
footsteps and become the GG? Personally I suspect the former, as I
don't think that they could re-do the first villan...but then again I
could be wrong.
