    Web of shadows was actually repurposed from spider-man 4's unamde game. The morality system I think was just done to keep the whole "symbiote corrupts" more than anything. The game also had some similarities to spider-man reign, which came roughly simultaneously.

    I’m not a Thor Fan, but what about Designate/Tarene aka Thor Girl? I mean her homeworld was destroyed by Thanos and she ally herself with Asgard. It be interesting for her an alien to learn and understand humanity. Thor Girl has cosmic powers too. That differentiates herself from original Thor.
    6:02 you mean Batman and Catwoman are separated but that’s more a Tom King thing than DC. Superman and Lois is now happily married just now dealing with 17 year old Son, who robbed 7 years his life by Ultraman and Clark had adopted twins.
    *Edit:* Also Wally West got his Wife and Kids back. Wally West is 100% family man.
    8:33 Should Alice meet Cheshire? I mean Cheshire is more a Green Arrow/Teen Titans villain. Then again Catwoman took Lian Harper the Daughter of Roy Harper and Cheshire under her wing.
    I agree it make more sense if Web of Shadows centers around Venom. The studio could made a sequel or a different version similar to The Force Unleashed *Ultimate Sith Edition*
    Emma has been swapping sides I cannot tell anymore.
    We need more Of Batman is the villain. I’m sick of Evil Superman trope. The only one able to do villain Batman Was the White Knight universe. That’s it.
    20:03 Injustice Batman literally ask Injustice Flash to go back in time to stop the destruction of Metropolis. Barry has thought about it, but Barry choose not to travel back in time.
    Which Reverse Flash you Prefer? Eboard Thawne, Hunter Zolomon or Daniel West?
    Wish we can get more of Zolomon because his whole identity is define by tragedy to make one into a better hero. So he wound’t stop the destruction of metropolis, he be more support of Superman’s Regime. Maybe Hunter Zolomon can be Barry’s replacement in Injustice 3. I mean Hunter Zolomon call himself True Flash in Flash Wars.
    Daniel West? He need to be use more for His Son, Wallace’s journey. I got my own wasted potential ideas. So *™* don’t steal.
    21:17 my ending is Harley Quinn turn herself in and serve life in prison. I read Adventure of Jon Kent, it just Jon Kent meeting Injustice. That Comic is terrible. She meet Jon Kent and she told him she help the joker of killing Lois and her unborn child. Harley said *“I thought it was a game. I didn’t think Joker would win. I’m sorry”* No. Harley Was with the Joker when he shot Jimmy Olson in the face. She is aware this isn’t a game. I even remembered she point a gun at Billy’s friends forcing Billy to say Shazam.
    And Jon Kent himself said to Harley Quinn *“You have to live with that, Be better”*
    Adventure of Jon Kent basically show all Tom Taylor’s narcissism.
    And Reminder that comic supposedly take place before 1st Injustice video game itself. Yeah Harley did better by making the Joker gang and worshiping the Joker.
    Why everyone keep giving Harley a excuse for helping committing genocide? Even Batman still gave her a pass.
    Speaking of Swapping bodies, How do you feel about Betsy Braddock becoming the The New Captain Britain? Betsy got her old body back with light purple hair and Kwannon got her old body as kept the mantle of Psylocke.
    Do you want a Captain Britain movie? What European heroes do you want to see in adaptation? That’s Not MCU.
    How do you feel about Kid Briton and The Braddock Academy. Captain Britain had a more an interaction of his Teenage counterpart than his own sister.
    The only two survivors from Braddock Academy I know is Anachronism, his whereabouts are unknown and Cullen Bloodstone, he becomes evil, and with his Warwolves Cullen hunts mutants for a sport. And his sister, Lyra Bloodstone got rid of Cullen’ curse. Wasted potential.
    I didn’t see in Incredibles 2. I plan to never see it ever
    28:41 it Weird have that Crispus Allen is not in supergirl since he said he came from Metropolis. Why he transfer to Gotham?
    That would be interesting to show Non comic readers an comic accurate of Oliver Queen.
    Would Connor Hawke be Oliver’s son? Would Sin be Dinah’s adopted daughter instead being Sara’s friend?
    30:32 It would be Funny if Steel, Shaquille O'Neal one is paired Kevin Conroy the 90’s Batman and 90’s Flash. The 90’s Trinity. Lol. I mean CW might have the equipment to make a better Steel Suit.

    Web of Shadows was always supposed to be about Peter. There was a demo with WoS concept from the debug menu from Spider-Man 3. As much as your idea is interesting, I never liked Venom-antihero since #375(I pretty much dislike the whole idea of arcs “from villain to hero”, because there are too many characters like this) which is why I am just not invested it. Personally, I think WoS would be much better if the decisions were made not by player just pressing one of the two buttons, but how much he played as red/black suit. It would also be better if we had more of Peter’s personal life there. MSM2 tried that, but it was so rushed.

    @alexandrefrauches132 6 місяців тому +5

    Those were some great ideas!
    One super hero I think should get a wasted plotential in the future is Superboy (Jon Kent), who in the recent comics had a crossover with the Injustice characters. The idea of Jon coming to the Injustice Universe and interacting with IJ Superman, with the two having sort of a "Vader/Luke" rilvary is interest and Jon could be the one to actually redeem or defeat Injustice Superman. But sadly the story, while not terrible, at least in my opinion, still a letdown, with one the biggest flaws being that not only Taylor made this arc take place before Year 5 but also he tried to make it canon, which makes Jon's actions pointless and creates holes in continuity (exemple: If Superman met his son from other dimension, why was he shocked when Batman recurit the main JL? Why he never mention Jon in the game? Why Superman stil belives that Lois would accept him despite Jon prove to him that she wouldn't?)

    Gotta say, hard disagree with Jane Foster's run as Thor when the crux of that story is that it acknowledges its temporary via Jane essentially killing herself by being thor. Taking a character who has felt they lack control and autonomy at the end of their life, essentially take up the mantle during a power vaccum whilst Thor is on a cope quest to undo character damage from other runs was an exploration of strength and heroism that even took a new spin on classic Donald Blake.
    Her run as Thor made odinson better, grounding Odinson more with that classic humility and love for the mortal lives around him then before.

      The premise of Lady Thor is completely asinine and fails to provide a suitable explanation for suspension of disbelief. So, no the crux of that story doesn't work because if you think about it for five seconds the entire 'conflict' doesn't make any sense in the context of the marvel universe. Also hard disagree on her improving odinson in anyway; I'd say Gorr did a much better job of that.

The entire premise of Jane's cancer and it being something we should take seriously doesn't work for the same reasons Spider Man One More Day doesn't work. And it is precisely because there are things like a 'magical hammer bestowed with alien norse god powers' that makes Jane's affliction silly.

    @alexandrefrauches132 6 місяців тому +1

    3:30 That part I disagree with you. Sure I wouldn't mind see Sif or Valkyre as godness of thunder, but having Jane being Thor fits the point of the hammer enchantment as well the story that was being told. Mjolnir can't just be lift by a stronger warrior, it needs someone who is worthy. Someone who is humble, kind and has good heart. Having Sif or Valkyre just because they are warriors would go against the point of this concept in the first place. Jane being worthy is important bc it show this and works for the Asgardians (in particular Odin), after finding out that Jane, a mortal, was the new Thor, learn to see the value on the mortals and what makes them worthy, just like Thor learned during his origin.
    If there's one thing it could be improve with Lady Thor story in the comics is just drop the whole mystery, having Thor already knowing that it's Jane, creating a argument between the two, since Thor doesn't want Jane to risk her life, knowing that the hammer affects the treatmeant for her cancer. This could result in Jane calling Thor out on his overprotective behavior, pointing out that this might be what results in the birth of villains like Gorr, when gods refuse to listen and understand to the mortals they are suppose to protect, thinking they know better and become blind to the potential mortals have to deal with their issues in life.

      The Jane cancer plot is stupid to begin with though. Its like the one where Aunt May is afflicted with a sickness and Spiderman has to make a deal with the devil to get around it; illogical in a universe with highly advanced technology and magic that Jane wouldn't be cured almost immediately. Tony Stark made a stabilizer for his heart from random parts laying around. We have people like Dr Doom, Mr Fantastic, etc. There is absolutely no excuse for Jane being afflicted given the options available in the Marvel verse.
      The Mjolnir is created using powerful magics stemming from the Odinforce. It not only should empower Jane but cure her cancer easily. The narrative expects us to buy that his powerful artifact doesn't instantly get rid of Jane's cancer permanently - its just not believable.
