I’m catching a theme here… everyone is making fun of the Superior Spider-Man…
Seriously, everything I’ve seen with the Superior Spider-Man that isn’t actually the SSM comics, the characters always somehow poke fun at Doc Oct. They conveniently find a way to discuss either Doc Oct or villains like him, and in doing so say things that would cause Doc Oct to hold his tongue lest give away the game. It’s getting kind of annoying because while yes, we know about Doc Oct, the characters (except Deadpool because, well, Deadpool) have no idea. I know, it’s a little thing, but it pisses me off because it takes away from the story itself.
Instead of some interesting team up between Magneto and Doc OctSpidey we’re treated to a long dialogue about what it means to be a villain.
And instead of that being really interesting and thought provoking, most of it is spent trying to get a rise out of Doc Oct.
Thank you for that.
The second team up is another installment of Cap and Scott running around, sniping at each other while trying to figure this Skrull thing out. And that’s pretty much it, a lot of back and forth bitching while destroying Doom Bots. And man, Victor von Doom is a bit of a jerk. What else is new?
Oh man, would you believe that while reading this issue, I completely forgot about Doc Oct being in Spidey’s body? I was thinking that the casual discussion about Doc Oct seemed odd because there didn’t seem to be much of a point to it.
LOL! I would love to see a conversation between Magneto and Doc Oct as himself. That would be interesting…
