Purchased from Greg's Comics out of Mesa, AZ, earlier this year, the first Silver Age issue of the year and high grade. Knocking my wish list down to 82 issues in the series.
Image description: Graphic of Spiderman, with his costume rendered in trans flag pink and light blue. The accompanying text:
"Binderman,
Binderman,
Wears his binder
Whenever he can.
Can he breathe?
No, he can't.
That's okay,
At least he's flat.
Look out,
Here comes the Binderman!"
The Great Web looks like a good time, but the amount they would need to monetize it (in an already saturated market) for a console exclusive would suck all of the fun out of it. The gameplay loop also looks like it would get repetitive fast.
As tough as it is as players, I can understand the business decision to pull the plug. Not all ideas work.
#spiderman in the #nuimos line is apparently fairly recent. It was my first time seeing him. If you take his costume off, you can see #PeterParker underneath wearing shorts and a cute t-shirt. And there's an additional outfit you can buy for him. It was pretty tempting but I resisted. #DisneyCaliforniaAdventure#AvengersCampus#DisneyNuimos
Just rewatched Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. It's still the masterpiece I remember it being. It's by far the best animated movie I've ever seen, one of my favorite movies of all time and the score is also absolutely amazing.
And it's also a movie that will forever be important to me. Because when I came out of the theater when I first saw it, something just felt different. I couldn't put it into words at the time, but looking back, I keep coming back to this moment as a pivotal moment in what was about to happen in my life.
I felt something different, something huge that took all space in my mind without ever telling it's name... I kept thinking about that movie for weeks and I kept thinking about this thing that I was feeling, without being able to properly understand what it was, this painful but oh so joyful gut feeling I've been having since that day.
It gave a big jolt of energy to something within me, something that's was slowly waking up for a few years now but that was definitely awake now, something that I willingly tried to put down all of my life...
...anyway. 10/10, this movie helped me accept that I was trans.
(something that I knew for sure since I was around 11 but hey, denial is one hell of a drug.)

I gotta say, rewatching this movie with the idea that it can be seen as being a trans allegory sure hits a lot different. For me, it's perfect. Whether this movie is actually about this or not doesn't change of thing the fact of the matter is : I heard it. And that's the beauty of art, isn't it?
In the end, Across The Spider-Verse is about being who you are, no matter what, because it isn't something you can control. You have no other choice then to be who you are. You can be a superhero, just like you can be a trans girl. The fact is : This is what you are, you don't shape it, it shapes you.
Being who they are is putting on a mask. And being me meant dropping mine.
This truth about being me would've come out one way or another, it was already way on it's way, but this movie gave it a massive kick it. And because of that, it will forever be one of my all time favorites. #movie#trans#SpiderMan#AcrossTheSpiderVerse#transfem#transgender
I was watching half of the second Spiderverse movie earlier.
Technically it was the second movie, but as it had only buildup and lacked an actual ending...
Why can't people tell stories in a single movie anymore? Why does everything HAVE to be an event?
Across the Spiderverse is gorgeous, full of action and definitely fun. But despite its 2h15m runtime it both felt too short and disappointed with the hangiest cliffhanger in a while.
@AmiW Das war unausweichlich: die Spinne, die #SpiderMan biss, hatte auch einen dicken Hinterleib. Also musste auch Spider-Man am Ende seiner Metamorphose einen dicken Leib entwickeln ;)
Turns out (*gasp*) - People are over the MCU and Madame Web is the proof (www.hollywoodreporter.com)
The flop is wiping out an entire plan for a new movie series, as the studio becomes the latest superhero studio in need of a pivot.
