So talking of finales penned by spn writers.
One of my fav comics the last few years has been Spider-Man/Deadpool, written by our very own Robbie Thompson.
Obviously, Deadpool is a character I was always gonna be fond of, since his fourth-wall breaking power / chatacter trait makes him all about the meta, and metafiction is My Jam.
Spider-Man/Deadpool has the additional fun of being about Wade and Peter's relationship specifically, which is just fun and adorable any which way, but the series also makes constant nods to the idea of them as a romantic couple (the title IS a LITERAL REFERENCE to slash fic/shipping). Never in a baity way either. The writing celebrates the idea of Spider-Man/Deadpool without ever teasing the idea it might actually happen. It's mostly Wade explicitly referencing them as a slash pairing in his various fourth-wall breaking speeches, while in the 'reality' of the universe the writing is pretty clear on the fact Peter only thinks of Wade platonically (or occasionally antagonistically :p), while Wade genuinely has an explicit romantic crush, but overall just simply respects and cares for Spider-Man as a person and primarily wants to be and have him as a friend (tho there's absolutely, deliberate, space left in the writing to imagine/fanfic a mutual romance between if you want).
(ASIDE: PETER PARKER IS NOT A KID IN THIS CURRENT VERSION OF MARVEL CANON HE IS 100% AN OF AGE ADULT, like he is in the Spiderverse film - in case anyone was freaking out)
So yeah, that's all fun and sweet and completely catering to my interests.
One of the big, big things about the characters and their relationship, though, is the fact that WADE DOES NOT KNOW SPIDER-MAN'S IDENTITY. And this quickly became one of, if not THE, things at the heart of their evolving friendship/relationship. The closer they get, the more and more you WANT Wade to find out or, better, for Peter to TELL HIM. Because you want them to reach that place of love and trust where they each know intimate things about each other, where Peter cares about and knows he can trust Wade enough to share that vulnerable truth about himself.
So, Peter telling Wade his secret identity - that's, basically, the ship/relationship endgame everyone is rooting for.
SO.
In the *cries* final storyline of the series, this whole epic Thing happens, that I won't explain cos it'll take too long. But basically, the world appears to be ending and in that context of dire and angsty straits - Peter reveals his identity to Wade! *insert Deadpool movie shock gif*
Now closer than ever, they team up with a rag tag collection of other characters to take on the Big Bad and, long story short, they discover the whole epic end of the world Thing has been a fake reality created by the real villain of the piece -
THE WRITER, aka Robbie himself!
Due a series of implausible comic book events they are able to confront and defeat him and he offers this in his defence -
and I just -
<3
aw Robbie
your supervillain origin story was... WANTING FICTIONAL CHARACTERS AND THEIR RELATIONSHIPS TO GROW?
(#relatable)
When I first read this (which was, oh, back near the very beginning of spn S15) I thought
a) amusing that an ex-spn writer is, like spn itself, writing a meta story in which the writer is the villain
b) it's funny how spn's villain writer and Robbie's villain writer both harm/manipulate their characters for the exact opposite reasons - Chuck wants to prevent the characters from developing, comic!Robbie wants to force them TO develop
(and c) I wonder if this lament over characters not being allowed to grow, and the fact that wanting to change that associates Robbie with villainy, in any way connects to... other writing jobs he may have had... before the comic...)
The tragedy, tho, is that after his defeat, as Spider-Man and Deadpool are locking comic!Robbie away, he tells them his capture doesn't matter because in the end HE WON, because Wade now knows Spider-Man's identity!!
To which we end with this -
The growth Robbie wanted was denied!
*sad face*
(I forget the in-universe explanation, if there was an explicit one - either defeating comic!Robbie and his fake world caused all memory/experience if that world to be lost/destroyed... or there was genuinely no real explanation and that in itself was a meta nod to how comic book narrative is constantly dropping/discarding/ignoring/retconning plot points in order to maintain the wider status quo of the comic universe narrative)
AND YET - while the biggest growth of learning Peter's identity was denied (presumably because, as noted above, wider comic book canon requires/insists both characters and their relationship remain in a specific, static, status quo - so the industry can keep churning out multiple comics with them without necessarily having to bother with the extra time/hassel of researching specifics of continuity - because, money), as Peter and Wade's further discussion points out, SOME development HAS happened at least. Wade has grown more moral/heroic in how he doesn't immediately kill his enemies. And Peter has come to care deeply enough about Wade to be proud of him for this and tell him so. AND they walk away together side by side, their friendship cemented.
So bottom line - the story ends. And it's not in the BEST way. It denies the readers and the characters (and the writer!) the fulfilment of that key endgame plot point.
And YET.
It manages to still be a funny, heartwarming and ultimately SATISFYING end. One that, tongue in cheek, lampshades the development the rest of the story has, in many ways, been building up to and, using metafictional tricks, tells readers in a way that is funny, entertaining and also feels somewhat apologetic, that it simply wasn't a plot the creatives involved were able to give. But offers SOME growth at least, and leaves things open enough for readers to imagine the characters are poised for more in the near future (...although due to the nature of comics that may well have been jossed by other comic book runs at this point - I haven't read any that include the characters since this title ended).
WHY am I making a longass post about this you ask?
Well
a) because the comic is great and I think more people should read it, consider this a recommend (tho sorry for spoilers!)
b) ...just ...wanted to big up Robbie Thompson for a bit. A++ Robbie, way to land an ending, both in fiction and meta, kudos to you, nice to be reminded that it can be done!
(also in case by some miracle anyone at Marvel is reading this - I said the ending was satisfying, but that doesn't mean I WOULDN'T SPEND GOOD MONEY ON A REVIVAL OF THIS TITLE IN A HEARTBEAT! just because I'm ok with the last comic being the end doesn't mean I don't WANT MORE WITH A BURNING PASSION why must you cancel all my favs?? ...*coughs* so, yes, thank you any Marvel execs for your time...)
Dear Psycho,
Hello again.☺️🤗 Hope you are having a wonderful afternoon.
While investigating Tartarus chapters, I found another funny coincidence in between Allmight's and AFO'S conversation.
You once researched on Midoriya family home and stated that at first they might have lived in a traditional Japanese house with tatami floors. In the anime, (sorry 😔 I forgot which episode) the scenes of AFO's thought while their conversation was not that clear. But in the manga it's different.(Chapter 116)
As you can see, I've marked it out. For a better view:
It might be the Todoroki house. Or, it might be the exterior of the house that Midoriya family was staying.(chapter 96)
So what so you think of this? Which traditional Japanese house was AFO thinking about?
Hey! You know, of course on the one hand a traditional style house (like Todoroki’s) can just be part of listing the values and those material things that everyone has in their life, and then some of that has to be inherited by someone just to continue the Life line further. This is what Afo is talking about in this talk.
However, here are some thoughts on this whole picture.
1. Home. This is where the family lives. Moreover, we have some symbolism here - a traditional style house: it is that traditional way of life - a family where the head is the father of the family, the mother looks after the household and raises the children, and, as a rule, the eldest son must inherit it and take care of the house and the parents (if there is no eldest son or sons at all, he is “adopted” through marrying a daughter, if the wife's family is higher in rank or it is not beneficial for her to give her daughter to another family).
2. A building that symbolizes work. I would like to point out that in the past and even now in Japan there is still the concept of “family work”, where the whole family worked for the same company (for another person or family) or then the son replaced the retiring father at work. And, of course, the “family business”, which can also be inherited.
3. I really like that we have two types of food here: as like European-American sandwiches, snacks and other goodies
and traditional Japanese breakfast: miso soup, grilled fish, boiled rice, scrambled eggs and pickled vegetables.
It's funny that it's all these simple things a family does when they get together that Afo imagines. Especially breakfast - it's a boost for the day, including the mood.
I think he really appreciates small family things like eating and living together. Yeah , I think he's quite a family man, very appreciative of the concept of family, but All Might deprived him of all that. And we just aren't shown it because Evil has to be Evil so no one feels sympathy for him. But that's for now, because the details still show what's important to him, which means Evil isn't so Evil.
Heh. You know, come to think of it… The entrance to Mysteryman’s room is eerily similar to the entrance to Papyrus’ room.
The door sprites are the same, just with/out decorations and one is greyed out. (Although, so are the rest of the doors in Sans and Papyrus’ house, so take it with a grain of salt.)
When you enter both rooms, you hear a door shut and all music stops. It’s the same door shutting sound effect.
And although this part is really stretching it, if you look at the shape of the rooms and where Papyrus/Mysteryman stand, there’s some similarity there.
…..And, actually, if you overlay the rooms….
It’s exactly the same size and shape, just entered at different points.
Note: Sound sensitivity isn't exclusive to autism, but is incredibly common in autistic people. It's also one of the difficulties that people often cannot understand and grossly underestimate if they do not experience it themselves. I'll repost this soon with visual descriptions (I'm currently sick with COVID-19). If you find anything I post helpful, please consider buying me a Ko-Fi.
