Superior Spider-Man Update: Series Finale and Spider-Verse

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away... Wait! That's copyright. Ahem! Long ago on the month of August 16 2013, I launched the blog Legends of Heroes (May or may not be the name of an existing RPG, didn't know about it then) and made my first post of the comic series Superior Spider-Man. It was great, but the series has changed a lot since my blog post about it. So I decided to update my data on the series.

For one thing, there have been a few spin-offs of the series that I honestly never read. These titles include Superior Team-Up, Superior Foes of Spider-Man, and Superior Carnage. According to the worldwide WEB (spider pun) Superior foes follows the Sinister 6 after their defeat in Superior Spider-Man issue 1# and they lost the Living Brain (you know, Spider-Man's robot assistant who gives out tastier beverages) from there team. Superior Team-Up is as the name implies. Superior Spider-Man is paired with a different Marvel super hero each issue.
Superior Carnage is about the Carnage symbiote being transferred to someone named Dr. Malus. Nuff said.

At first when I read comics 1-4#, I thought he was a great guy who could learn the proper ways of being a superhero. NO. That was established at the end of 5#. After that I had mixed feelings about the character. Some issues I root for him and some I think he should've stopped calling himself superior and call himself an EGG-NO-RA-MOOSE as the guys from Cracker-barrel would say. I don't mean to spoil anything but here's two lists:

Top 5 Smart Moves Otto Has Made:
1.Adding claws. Those are cool!
2.Making the Living Brain into his personal assistant.
3.Killing the Spider-Slayer. :I--"Did you just -" Hey it was the day of his execution! It was supposed to happen.
4.Getting minio-er... foot soldiers I mean.
5.Read series finale to keep from spoiling.

Top 5 Stupid Moves Otto Has Made:
1.Killing every villain he sees. Except Spider-Slayer, that was justified.
2.Insulting people. Favorite insults: Dolt! Inferior! Idiot!
3.Getting Jameson to stop trusting him.
4.Quitting the Avengers.
5.Not giving Peter Parker his body back in 9#

These moves I think are probably because he's not used to being a hero and more used to being a villain. I guess not everyone can be heroic or triumphant. Eh.

Let's cut to the chase. Unless your a big dodo you read the title and thought "They ended the series already?!" or "What in the thorax is Spider-Verse?!" Well here's how I'm going to tell about the end without spoiling it for those who want to read the series.

:| ....... *cheep cheep cheep. :|

Very triumphant. On to the why! Just about everyone wrote that Parker should be brought back and that they hate Otto. I can infer (Your welcome literature know-it-alls) that's why they ended the series so early. It's ironic too. When the first Amazing Spider-Man remake was made, someone wrote they should bring Otto back! :D--HaHaHaHaHa. So be sure to not listen to your mom and start at 34# cuz that's the end.

Onto Spider-Verse. It starts at 19# with Superior Spider-Man goes to 2099 and almost get's arrested. He then builds a machine to take him back but instead is transported to the other universes of Spider-Man. Turns out, a terrfying and horrible monster has been going through the universes and killing the Spider-Man's from that universe. After realising that, Otto goes to the other Spider-Men and insist they gather together to destroy the fowl  beast.

So now that the series is over I had some new thoughts about it. I still like the art style, but it grew to be more realistic which is better. Things are as hectic as when it got in the middle of the series and maybe a little more. It'll keep you on the edge of your seat and make you want to buy the next issues.
Nuff said. Bye!

Cyborg quotes

Even though not many people have read a comic starring Cyborg, he's still one of the coolest super heroes of all time. He even has great lines. Here are some quotes from Teen Titans, Injustice, and Scribblenauts Unmasked. Some may be gotten from IMDb

Teen Titans:
Robin: You remember us right?
[sees them as eggs]
Cyborg: Your the nasty EGG people who stole all my waffles!

Cyborg: [trying to convince Raven to come to the birthday party they're throwing for her] We've got a pinata shaped like Beast Boy. You know you wanna smack it.

[the Titans are deciding on pizza toppings]
Cyborg: Come on, how can you deprive me of the all-meat experience?
Beast Boy: Dude, I've BEEN most of those animals.

Cyborg: [Cyborg and Beast Boy are playing racing car games] You wanna past me, but you can't pass me, you can't pass... YOU PASSED ME

Injustice:
Deathstroke: Whatever history we have with our counterparts, you and I have none.
Cyborg: I downloaded your history. You tried to kill this world's Titans.
Deathstroke: Only a couple times.
Cyborg: Just don't expect any warm fuzzies from me.

Scribblenauts Unmasked:
 Cyborg: [finishes beating up a machine] Oh, hey! Didn't see you there! Welcome to the Watchtower. The Justice League has voted, and we've granted you full clearance.
Maxwell: Cyborg!!! Wow! It's so cool to meet you! I've been a fan for like... ever!

Cyborg: But just recently, I've noticed two people I haven't seen before. Their security clearance checks out, but...I don't know

Cyborg: Stop right there Slade!
Deathstroke: Lights out! [knocks out cyborg with staff]

Cyborg: Amazo escaped! Help me with this, I can't fight him alone!

Injustice: Gods among us

Sorry I'm late with this. I was just running out of material and I didn't think of doing this till' now. I like beat this game a month ago and I would've blogged sooner. Anyway, NUFF SAID! Time to review. Ahem. WE OPEN! At the ruins that were once Metropolis in another dimension. The military is SHOCKED and don't understand how this could happen! I'll tell you how! Joker rigged a trigger device to Lois Lane and then drugged Superman to make him think Lois is Doomsday. When her heart stopped, the trigger activated and a nuke went off. During The Joker's interrogation with Batman, Superman comes and slaughters Joker losing his morality. Upon that, he takes the role of high counselor and starts a war with Batman's. Insurgency. MEANWHILE IN THE JUSTICE LEAGUE UNIVERSE...the Justice League were fighting the worst villains in comic history when Joker's about to hit a button and set off a nuke. When Batman tries to stop him, they are both transported to the other world I mentioned earlier which cancelled the trigger action. Then the heroes who were alive were transported to that same realm to find Superman has rounded the other dimension heroes, ruling with an iron fist, and had them kidnap our Batman. Luckily, not-our Lex Luthor and not-our Batman assist the team by helping them infiltrate the base. Their mission: Rescue Batman, defeat Superman's allies, and take down Superman. The game's area interaction shows some memorable characters as background characters who can seriousily WHOOP anyone if an area transition is made or if you take advantage of the environment. Area transitions are a big change since the only thing close to that in MK vs. DCU was freefall combat and TEST YOUR MIGHT! However, these new mechanics didn't have any way of changing your fate. In MK vs. DCU you could turn the table and be assailant unlike Injustice where there's no way to prevent it. Another thing, blocking attacks isn't quite as easy but hey. I guess some people don't want it to be too easy. Other than that, it was still one of the best games I ever played. the plot is convincing and suspenseful. But ya might wanna turn captions on. The multiplayer mechanism is also great where as you can actually vote on the arena. However, I had another problem I had was that MK vs. DCU had more readable content while Injustice's font was as small as Little Cheese. Other than the font and defense mechanisms, it's still one of the greatest comic book fighting games I ever played. I can see why Gameinformer voted it the best fighting game of 2013. To give you a peek of the game, I decided I'd show you guys these pictures. I was going to make a Let's Play video with my sister, but that's too complicated. Oh, I bet you  guys have been wondering why I posted pictures that look like they were on my phone. If I do it that way, the website is included in the photo. Credits for the photos will be mentioned below. You can also check it out your self at http://www.dccomics.com/games/injustice-gods-among-us-2013.Till' then...I honestly have no cool way to sign off. BYE!

Plan B

Lately I've noticed you guys haven't posted any comments lately. Is it that thing where you have to enter the letters? I'm sorry, but it was to keep out spam content. So here's my backup plan: you can email me your comments. My email address  is guttbuster27@gmail.com, so tell me your ideas and don't be afraid.

Batman Year One

The dark knight, the man with a plan, Mr.Awesome are all names for Batman. Bruce Wayne is the coolest man on Earth! He had a lot of great adventures, and then there's "Batman Year On." In this animated hit from DC Entertainment, Bruce Wayne returns from his training-around-the-world trip to Gotham City. Upon returning, he decides to use what he learned to get revenge for the DEATH IN THE FAMILY! (Get it? Death in the Family?) So anyways, first he just goes out as a unmasked vigilante and is seriously bleeding after his first fight. He goes back to Wayne Mansion where he says and I quote, "If I ring this bell, Alfred will come. He can stop the bleeding. What's the point though? I need to make them afraid, how can I make them afraid?" (Bat flies in and lands on the bust of Bruce's father) "Yes father, I shall." That was one of the biggest lines in comic book history! Because that gave Bruce inspiration to be Batman! "MEANWHILE, IN THE OTHER PARTS OF GOTHAM CITY..." Jim Gordon has just applied for a job as commissioner and his wife is expecting a baby. Little do they know, their paths will collide. Well this movie has great animation and-what the hay, who am I kidding? I HATED THIS MOVIE! The plot made NO sense whatsoever! The only thing that came close to Batman's iconic villains is the antihero Catwoman, who had no crush on Batman whatsoever, and a Joker reference only in the end! In the movie Barbara Gordon was Commissioner Gordon's WIFE! Not his DAUGHTER! And they made Bruce look like a jerk! Worst 64 minutes of my life! Sorry fans that I had be so negative and some of you might disagree with me. My condolences. Till then, catch ya later! NUFF SAID!

Lego Marvel SuperHeroes: The video game

Lego toys have grown in popularity for years and years and years. In fact, I am a builder myself. Lego has definitely reached out to pop culture such as Star Wars as well as get more promotions. With Lego books, clothes, TV  programs (all on Cartoon Network) and Lego video games. While this happened, Marvel comics has really grown. We all knew that one day their paths would collide and form Lego Marvel Superheroes. Since this is a huge game, I will have to break it down in paragraphs.

STORY

--------------------------

Right before you start in to the game by literally pressing start. There is a cutscene where logos made out of Lego are devoured by Galactus. At the same time, the Silver Surfer was shredding cosmic waves. Then Galactus says that he needs more to satisfy his hunger. Another cutscene will appear after you made a new game. In this scene, Iron Man is following the Silver Surfer when the gnarly metal is shot with missiles by Doctor Doom. Then he finds out that pieces of the surfer's board called the cosmic bricks have broken off and fell to various Marvel Comics locations. Doctor Doom plans to gather these to fuel Doctor Doom's doom ray of doom. To get these bricks, he hires every crook, super villain, and bad guy to retrieve them. They all have to commit crimes in order for them to get these bricks, thus grabbing the attention of the Marvel heroes. The story line is a little interesting, and I don't mean to spoil anything but let's just say someone will stab Doom in the back. (Not literally)

GAMEPLAY
--------------------------
The game play takes after the game Lego Batman 2: DC Superheroes. Despite that Lego Batman 2 uses the classic look for the mini-figures, has classic characters (If you want Damian Wayne you'll have use the character customization), and doesn't have big figures, Lego Marvel is just the opposite. the game uses styles from the marvel movies, the Disney XD show Ultimate Spider-Man, and one character from Marvel NOW. (Just to be clear that character is Superior Spider-Man). Although there is a part where Magneto breaks the Mark 6 Iron Man suit and Tony Stark temporarily wore the grey suit called Mark 1 suit before switching to the Mark 42 suit which was worn in Iron Man 3. Also, instead of costumes inspired by the X-Men quadrilogy, (BTK, Quadrilogy means four movies. Nuff said.) the costumes are classic and Cyclopes wears his underwear on the outside of his pants. There also an open world environment that you can fly around in. While Lego Batman 2 had the citizen in peril, Lego Marvel has Stan Lee in peril. Once you save Stan Lee he says his catch phrase "Excellsior!" I don't know how, but you can unlock Stan Lee as a mini figure. What's cool about him is that he has the powers of every Marvel superhero. For example, he get big and green if he gets angry. The controlls are really simple, but I have a habit of crashing my vehicles. Once you beat the game you unlock bonus levels narrated by Deadpool, like Iron Man trying to raise the mood at his party. I think that if you beat all of the Deadpool levels then you'll probably unlock the Merc with a Mouth.

COMIC ACCURACY

-------------------------

Lego Marvel Superheroes is of course, a comic game. So if the makers of any comic game really want their customers to be satisfyed, they need to make the comic part as accurately as possible. The game was released in 2013 but it doesn't really follow the Marvel NOW comics because the movies and the original characters themselves are more popular than the comics published today. Altough they do have Superior Spider-Man as an unlockable minifigure and maybe there are more Marvel NOW styled characters but that's just a big IF. Meanwhile, in the bonus level where Kingpin has fake dental services, they portrayed Elektra as a supervillain who works for the big and well-dressed man. 1.Elektra loves DareDevil and assists him. 2.Elektra has her own movie. They don't just give movies to supervillains. 3.Elektra would rather be tied to Abomination and be beaten by Hulk than join forces with Kingpin. Acorrdong to ITunes, Elektra is hunted by Kingpin in DareDevil the movie. I'm pretty sure they invented a new character for humor. In the final cutscene, Black Panther introduces his sidekick: the adorable Mr. Tiddles. Mr. Tiddles is a black cat who wears a Captain America costume. In one of the street missions, Black Panther asks you to find Mr. Tiddles after they split up. They didn't mention the Avengers very much, the Fantastic Four still wear the blue outfits because those are more iconic, and as for the X-Men, they mentioned the Brotherhood of Mutants a lot and Emma Frost was around some. So to sum up this section, their style wasn't really based of the comics, but they did that to make people understand it.

EASTER EGGS

-------------------

No no no. Not the Easter Bunny's eggs, I mean secrets in video games. Seriously, how can a bunny lay eggs? An example of an Easter egg is the fact that Harley Quinn has a discarded pregnancy test and it reads positive. This section is about the Easter eggs, the difficulty to find them, and how interesting they are. At a certain island (I don't remember which) you can find a secret level called "The Brick Apple." It's a place made out of Legos and have multiple Lego Marvel sets. Your two characters are Doctor Doom and Galactus. To complete it, you have to make 1,000,000 studs by breaking everything around you. That'll take a while. Also, if you look closely in the cutscenes, you'll notice Deadpool and Stan Lee getting into some comic fun. Like, Stan Lee getting into a S.H.I.E.L.D. jet or Deadpool stealing a pizza. Speaking of Deadpool, another Easter egg is found in Deadpool's room on the helicarrier. If you look closely, you'll notice a dartboard with Wolverine's face on it. Wow. He must really hate Logan.

FAMILY FRIENDLINESS

-------------------------------

Oh. Are you still reading this? Well I'll cut you some slack and make this short. 100% family friendly.

In conclusion,

the game is really fun and really interesting. To find out about more Marvel games, go to http://marvel.com/games
