I was so excited for Byrne to do Spider-Man comics and it was such a disappointment. The art from Byrne inked by Scott Hanna is still good but the stories are abysmal. The Vague Age has some good stuff in it, specifically the Peter Parker and Spectacular issues. I feel like this hard on for getting Mary Jane out of the book drives normally reliable creators to do outright nonsense.

I agree wholeheartedly with all of this. I've always found it odd when writers reset things or try to make it like the Silver Age again because then they start adding their own stuff on top of that which doesn't work at all with the reverence for the Silver Age. And then Byrne's arrogant desire to "fix" things is reverting them to extreme caricatures of what the were in the Silver Age. Aunt May, the way she is utilised, is my sticking point. You bring her back from the dead, you should make it worthwhile, you've got to prove to people it was a good idea to bring her back and all they do is have her be useless and constantly be a burden to Peter. Jameson and Flash also suffer from similar characterisation. Betty Brant is transformed into Lois Lane. Mary Jane is always "away" on modelling assignments but also always there whenever Peter Parker is "away" on Spider-Man stuff so both can freely complain about the other never being around. Then we have the traditional creepy Byrne thing where he has the married Peter Parker kiss a 15-year-old girl. Even the second book, whenever the stories are directly tied to or are continuing stuff from Amazing it is bad. They will sometimes do stand-alone issues or have their own little storylines or subplots and those bits are generally leagues above the Byrne plotting (still pretty average but better than Byrne and JrJr's art is still great back then, he was also being inked my Hanna who'd been inking him since Clone Saga). If I remember, when Byrne gets bored and leaves, they just up Romita Jr to Amazing and for a while, a few months, he's doing art on both books. And also on Thor and maybe Hulk at that point.

Yep, you'll notice a lot of the comments on my Moondragon videos refer to "rap with an e". KZbin have a few words that are automatically filtered or blocked when left in comments, that is one of them (inconsistently though). A word beginning with N and every possible variation of it is another one that won't post. The one beginning with F that is an insult to gay people, I think there's a few slurs like that. Even saying fuck sometimes gets it automatically filtered. I am unsurprised that there is yet another sexual abuse story in comedy. Almost every comedian you've ever heard of is usually either guilty of or has enabled it. Whenever you see comedians gather together on podcasts, it is usually the case one of them has done a rap with the e and the others know it or have also done one of their own. The comedians who only appear infrequently as guests on a podcast, who don't seem part of the clique, the ones or who are off almost in their own corner are the ones that are most likely not the scumbags. I would say, from my personal experience, never trust any comedian ever. Even if he's your best friend, he's probably done something dodgy or knows about something and hasn't done anything about it.

It’s amazing how talent can just stop. Comics, music, movies, novels, whatever - a person can show such creativity and talent for years and then one day out of nowhere it’s just gone. You cannot look at 80s Byrne and everything that came after maybe 1991 and see it’s from the same creator, particularly with the writing.

I will have already highlighted my theory before - it's all Namor's fault. Byrne saw McFarlane and Liefeld selling a million copies and he thought to himself that he was obviously capable of that. He was honestly expecting Namor #1 to sell a million copies largely based on Byrne's name alone and it fell dramatically short of that. That'd also be why he very quickly stopped caring on Namor, why none of his set-up or ideas went anywhere, why he barely even explored the notion of Namor as a corporate businessman. The stories were all just disposable nothing that Byrne could find the effort to muster (what does Super-Skrull as Iron Fist in the Savage Land REALLY have to do with Namor?). Then he stopped drawing them and the scripts got worse, then he stopped scripting them and the plots got worse, then he stopped plotting them and the whole thing was by then a complete mess. Everything he did after that was bitter and noticeably driven by how much power the editor(s) would give him.

That panel of Madelyn in her bondage gear reminds me of an hysterically funny (unintentionally) and supposedly sexy (it’s not) movie scene. It’s Sigourney Weaver and Michael Caine in the movie Halfmoon Street. So, Weaver is a prostitute, and Caine refers to her “job” saying: “With you, on the toilet, being shaved, with people watching!” And she purrs back: “That really turns you on, doesn’t it?” And then, it gets strange in the performance, he says “Yes” but in a weird, breathy, choppy voice. Then he lunges for her. It’s not a bad movie, politically it’s got some great lines, but you see it for the laughs.

Little known fact, I used to have a comic book called "Mark Shulusky Forever" which chronicled my random encounters with various X-Men, which seemed to happen with astonishing regularity. Once, at the supermarket, that little bi*ch Kitty Pryde was backing out of the parking lot and she and I locked eyes and, she smirked at me. Just like that for no reason. But when I got to my car i saw a scratch on the side and knew she'd done it. That smirk was that titless wonders way of letting me know. And again there was the time Mystique was using one of the houses next door to mine for surveillance or something. Anyway, comes the day I get a knock on the door and there she is, asking to use the bathroom. I got surprised into saying "OK", and I show her the way. A minute late she just leaves without a word, so I check it out and, the smell... beyond description. If odors were visible I wouldn't have been able to see two inches in front of my face. So I run to the front door, throw it open and yell after her, "You fuc*ing filthy bit*h! You couldn't change that turd into something that didn't stink!" Once or twice a week it would happen like that.
