This remains an evergreen post in my mind

Currently working on a video about a Stan-Lee-era Spider-Man issue in which Spider-Man stops a late night talk show interview to tell the audience about terrible prison conditions. So yeah, always woke.

@kerrycallen.bsky.social Hello. Odd question but I'm currently trying to read every comic that has ever featured Spider-Man. An issue I'm stuck on is the Chaos on Campus issue where he fights the Hulk, and I've found your great blog on it. Any chance you have a full scan you could share?

Kid, giving Tobey Maguire back his Spider-Man mask: "We won't tell nobody" Tell them what kid? That Spider-Man is a white kid with brown hair? That'll narrow it down!

Heated Rivalry finally came to the UK and it's very funny to see an explicit gay show have to Austin-Powers-hide every penis in every nude scene.

This film is about a year away. There's no chance that they have anything close to a final cut yet. Don't believe things on the internet, especially film news.

A really interesting look at Ghost World then and now, and how the adaptation was able to change the tone

The amazing mayday girl

The latest issue of Amazing Spider-Man -- #19 or LGY983 -- is an incredible start to the year. A perfect issue with romance and comedy and high-stakes action.

Because I went down the Conformity Gate hole, I keep getting Stranger Things takes, and boy, I wish people had more respect for how hard making a TV show is. Every accusation of "lazy writing" is either a silly goof or easily solved with 5 secs of thought. I haven't even seen most of the show!

In fairness to those Stranger Things fans, I was so upset at how the Ted Lasso finale turned out that I obsessed a bit too much on the fact that the book he was reading on the plane was "How to Change Your Mind" and was upset that he just...didn't change his mind.

This is broadly true of all community spaces, online and in real life. Read the thread.

The existence of the living room suggests that every other room is dead.

They should call the Stranger Things making of documentary: "Stranger Things have happened" (although grammatically it should be Stranger Things has happened but pretend that isn't true and just pretend this joke works ok)

Someone's written a comic story called "Namor No More!" right? Like, they must have done...

Potentially a hot take here, judging from what I've seen but this seems like another user-selected accessibility feature that will likely help people get past difficult sections. I wish we knew whether this was genAI or traditional gaming AI, but apart from that, this seems like a good thing.

I'm here for this and I'm excited. I do hope though that they commit to this being one last hurrah for the heroes. Play with the X-Men and with Steve Rogers in the big multiverse movie, but that has to be the final time. Let them rest after, and bring new blood in. Let their legacy stand.

Yeah it's not a precise cut like an industrial laser cutter but he can control his blasts to the degree they can just knock pool balls on a table or he can blast clean through a coin he threw up into the air. He can do all kinds of cool sniper tricks.

Silly but earnest question for any X-Men fans: can Cyclops' beams cut? Like, can he cut a hole in a wall by firing a large circle shape into it?

Both Whedon and Gaiman were so important to my teen years and inspired me to create. So yeah, I have a lot of favourite things made by terrible terrible people...

being consistently most vitriolic loud angry person on social media is not a credit to your leftist credentials it just makes people not want to organize with you the most radical leftists i have the privilege to call comrades are some of the kindest people. knowing who to be angry at is important

Julie Andrews’ Daily Schedule. 1. Quick Homer Simpson impression 2. Learn about bushcraft 3. Watch silly British comedy 4. Remove weeds in garden 5. Begin making coffee flavoured bread D’oh, Ray Mears, Farce, Hoe, Latte dough.

In The Dark World, Thor is told it's "three stops" to get from Charring Cross to Greenwich. It's 14 stops and two train changes! (I will say that I appreciate the joke in Paddington where the reveal is that the taxi driver has been taking a weird route to show off London landmarks)

First video of 2026 is the final issue of a very interesting arc -- both narratively and historically. A rematch between Green Goblin and Spider-Man, with Harry Osborn's life on the line. Also, the return of Gwen Stacy!

Fun fact, while in the Lord Of The Rings movies frodo looked like this, in the books he actually looks like this!

I'll do one! A thing that signals film illiteracy: knowing just enough about movies to basic rhen patterns, then assuming a film is bad because ~you~ can spot the seams, they'll always be there if you look for them, and most people don't. You figuring out where they're headed doesn't mean anything.

If there's one thing that signals film illiteracy from someone online, it's when they deride humor used in another genre as being "a Marvel-like quip." Go watch DIE HARD. "No shit, lady! Do you think I'm ordering a pizza?!" is the exact same kind of line that now gets called "quippy"

Happy new year! fingers crossed you all have a great '26

I will give this a shot. youtu.be/wHuWmjXsReU?...

One of my new year's resolutions is to take a selfie every day because 1) I dislike how I look in photos and the only way out is through 2) I want to be more mindful of what I look like Let this be my accountability thread. Day 1.

As in almost everything, Terry Pratchett expressed it perfectly. In this case, a discussion between Death and his adopted daughter Susan:

There are 242 working days in 2026. If you write just one page a day - just 250-300wds, roughly 5 Bsky posts - you will have two full scripts or a novel by New Years Eve. If you write just two pages a day - just 500-600 words - you will have five scripts or one epic novel. Just. Keep. Writing.

Spent my first evening of 2026 reflecting on how 2025 went creatively in my latest channel newsletter: www.patreon.com/posts/resolu... (You can read for free, no need to be a patron!)

Some resolutions:

It's the final day of 2025, which means it is time to look back and review the 10 (+) best comics of the year!

Ending the year by posting the first video of the next. It also means that I have officially posted a video every week this year (technically two if you count shorts!) and for someone that struggles with regularity, that's a big deal. Well done me. And Happy New Year.

Ending 2025 by doing shots* *of cough medicine before getting an early night

pound for pound this might be the funniest thing ever written

There have been a number of attempts to make Spider-Man villains look cooler. Very few have worked.

youtu.be/nvqF8F0CrTw?... @notquitecool.bsky.social made this incredible video on what makes the original Spider-Man origin so powerful, and how the adaptations have somewhat lacked the statement it made at the core of the character—including a surprisingly significant misquote of his famous mantra

We cannot have enough of these posts, so:

Since it's the end of the year (the correct time to do this), and since I have some code compiling, I thought I'd share some of my favourite videos of 2025. The full list, in no particular order, is below, but allow me to take you though each video: youtube.com/playlist?lis...

I was playing Sir Edward Trenchard in Our American Cousin when a president was shot up in the balconies.
