Amazing Spider-Man | The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

[@eduardozabala8365]

“Winners don’t get their marriage dissolved by the devil” best line EVER!!!

[@mattl5046]

The arc in issue 500 was the one of the first Spider-Man stories I got as a little kid and it's great to see that it still holds up as a solid story

[@allthingssuper]

"you have this serious moment and then you cut to this fucking jackass"-Ethan, 2018

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Gotta admit, all of these touched me. Issue 600 just touched me in a bad place, and now I need to shower for a few days.

[@Farmeryeti]

Of all the accusations this past year, this is the one I'm least surprised by.

[@BuckshotBill118]

"Happy Birthday" is my favorite story arc for Spider-man.

[@megamonmon]

Did sal make a deal with Mephisto to sell his friendship with Ben to get to 70k?!?!... Or was Ben busy... YOU DECIDE

[@screechingqueer]

I'm happy you included a comment on Spidey saying how the other heroes trust him and how much that meant to him. #500 is so good.

[@ultimatewall-crawler5292]

Out of those #500 is definitely my favorite. It’s a nice personal and heartfelt comic that really embodies who Spider-Man is. JMS had some pretty good stuff, but there were some duds in his run.

[@jameskingman1227]

Even his duds are well told stories. I just kinda hate the content.

[@thesavageJ]

Dan Slott time on spiderman was basically me saying "who the hell is guy in the spiderman costume cause he isn't spiderman"

[@viewtifulvash6068]

That's how I felt about the 616 Spider-Man, post One More Day.

[@cisnerd_2093]

This is the best episode of Good/Bad/Ugly, at least to me. One problem I have with this show so far has been how infrequently I care about the book. Your banter can be good, but if you're talking about NFL Super Pro, I'm really not interested. This was Spider-man, it was about a cast I know, by writers I respect. Whatever your preferences are for what content you create, keep on keeping on!

[@Ali_M3]

What I learned from this episode- Aunt May has died way too many times.

[@megamonmon]

Lets not forget the arc leadinh to 200 where mysterio faked her death

[@masterrance]

1:51 - 1:56 is a perfect analysis of Clone Conspiracy

[@megamatt1915]

And then you guys upload this right after a live stream. You guys are awesome!

[@GreatGarloo]

Imagine if Marvel had been able to mend bridges with Steve Ditko and he had drawn the Uncle Ben sequence from Amazing Spider-Man #500 instead of John Romita Sr. That would have been great.

[@Yungtacosss]

Oh my god! I can't believe Amazing Spider-Man #500 appeared on this show! :D it's one of my favorite issues. Mostly because of that future costume he has which you can see at 18:02

[@EightPageProductions]

"We're not friends, we're clones" should absolutely be a t shirt!

[@LowellLucasJr.]

If only Spiderman could just have growth in stories . If Aunt Mays dead, she's dead! If Harry is gone...Let it be! If MJ & Peter have a daughter...LET THEM!

[@ExperienciasLima]

You guys made me cry telling the 500! It's soooooooooo fucking cool 8D Fantastic episode!!

[@TevyaSmolka]

I hate one more day I hate it I hate it I hate it

[@viewtifulvash6068]

I can't take anybody seriously when they say One More Day was "great," or "wasn't that bad." I get it people have differing opinions, but still...

[@FatSnorlax]

Oh btw I love the design of Last Stand Spider-Man. Such a cool coat.

[@jonfrombuckland_3784]

59:00 the worst but probably most accurate description of Slott's Spider-Man. Emphasis on 59:24

[@bergerchicken]

Ethan recounts his issue page by page, and I love it. I wanna see an episode of back issues led by ethan, it would be three hours long.

[@bergerchicken]

but maybe this is the result of the tedium of this specific comic.

[@ItsMattYoung]

Between this and catching up on the latest Off The Rack (I only caught the last 5 minutes live) my Sunday evening has suddenly gotten a whole lot more entertaining. Thank you!

[@kyleolson8977]

I loved #400 at the time. The clone saga wasn't out of control yet, and it felt like a real moment. But since there will always be a future Spider-Man writer who can't stand that somebody gave Peter Parker a bit of growth so it was all thrown away.

[@GetUpGetUpGetUp]

Hey, Ethan, Where'd ya get that cool ring? eh?

[@jmail1984]

OMFG!!!!!!!!!! Ethan is the MVP! so funny!

[@Aliaskitfisto]

My older brother had a longbox filled with 90s Spider-Man comics and they were almost all exclusively Clone Saga books. Me, not understanding that these were 10 year old books at this point and also not understanding comic book "deaths," thought Aunt May was dead and gone. FOR GOOD. What a world what a world. Also, I love snarky Aunt May courtesy of Ethan lol

[@dennisosbourne]

When you finish one good, bad and ugly and a notification pops up for this one the second it ends. 😍😍😍

[@davidbreault3283]

Ben Reilly is like that one scene in Venture Bros where hank says his dream job is to become a drifter.

[@PowerPackers90]

If I had to rank the centennial issues of ASM its 1. 300 2. 400 3. 500 4. 100 5. 600 6. 200 7. 800 8. 700

[@fun2building]

There are honestly not that many modern Marvel things that I wholly dislike like people exaggerate hard about how everything is shit and this and that and I'm just like man I really liked Kate Leth's Hellcat I say this to preface the following; goddamn I fucking hate Slott's Spider-Man holy shit what a never-ending mess

[@uberbusdubs5962]

Oh my gosh! Amazing Spider-Man 500 was my first comic! I'm so glad to see you guys cover it

[@PMADness17]

100 is good, 200 is ok, 300 is great, 400 is great but it also kind of sucks because of the clone saga, 500 is great, 600 and 700 suck and 800 i thought was pretty cool for two reasons: red goblin is kind of dope and it's the end of dan slott's run on spider-man FINALLY, so that's it xD. Well we'll see what nick spencer has for 900 xD

[@andrewmatseshe7343]

Sal will say something funny, then, Ethan will say something rational and we’ll all laugh. OR, Tiff will say something rational and Sal or Ethan will say something funny and we’ll all laugh. OR we’ll just all laugh. You all kick tremendous ass 👍

[@TevyaSmolka]

Yay amazing Spider-Man 400 a great end off for aunt May

[@ItsMichaelReid]

Tevya Smolka Should've stayed dead. Would've truly been an end of an era and make Peter truly self dependent and no longer that geeky little kid from Queens

[@ultimatewall-crawler5292]

Tevya Smolka Until it turned out to be an actress lol

[@TevyaSmolka]

agreed and i wished they kept her dead because this death was perfect and plus like you said it made peter truly self dependent and gave us peter with his wife mary jane who was pregnant with mayday parker aka spider-girl that it breaks my heart that marvel ruined it fuck you marvel :(

[@thechipmunck9769]

Those were the good old days, I don't read spider-man anymore.

[@TevyaSmolka]

yup indeed and frankly i can't take it anymore

[@spdrwrtr]

Sal, will you please tell the story of why they never published that DOCTOR STRANGE mini-series mentioned in ASM 500?

[@Tintinandasterix]

41:20 Love the HISHE reference

[@TevyaSmolka]

Wait a minute how come aunt May could get married but we can’t have peter Parker and Mary Jane be married like I don’t get this bullshit

[@matthewschmitt9805]

I remember reading the ugly Spiderman book and it is the personification of everything that I hate about Spiderman now and how he's not the same character that he was before One more day.

[@joshuanelson6795]

Going from AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #400 and 500 to #600 is like going from chocolate cake to vegan cake.

[@StevenErnest]

I haven't watched this yet, but what about issues #100, 200, and 300? Issue 100 was the crazy one where he grew 8 arms!

[@joedee9811]

I'm only 10 minutes in, but firebrand Ethan is awesome!

[@Rocketraccoon9458]

I might get attacked for this when Slott writes spiderman Peter always kinda seems like a huge douche and it’s like I can’t relate to him anymore and spiderman needs a new writer

[@darthcarth27]

With the whole aunt May knowing MJ is pregnant thing. Whenever my aunt has a dream that she is pregnant someone she knows turns out to be pregnant

[@jwtcosplay4507]

Lol I had this at x1.25 from my last video and I totally forgot, but this video started and Sal seemed like he was really ready to start shitting on books

[@joshcowdrey7894]

would honestly love to hear y’all discuss #800 and the backup issues

[@instantbadass]

You should review #800, id like to hear your thoughts.

[@TevyaSmolka]

they did during the livestream

[@TheCyberneticVortex]

Weekly Pull? If not which one?

[@TevyaSmolka]

The Cybernetic Vortex the pull

[@josephl.2398]

Nooo! I love all of these issues!

[@langleymneely]

Just a pitpicky thing, is there a way you can keep the cover image of the book you are talking about standing up in the cradle on the table? Its a little confusing seeing one books cover while you discuss a different book entirely. Makes it difficult to keep track and read along (which i like to do). Otherwise, keep it coming!

[@TheGotenza]

So Aunt May was pretending to think Peter was a wimp who couldn’t watch TV without being hurt? I’m not over exaggerating for anyone who hasn’t read original amazing Spider-Man comics. She thinks Peter is a frail boy who can’t handle anything. There are multiple examples of her saying that Peter shouldn’t watch the news because he’s too timid of a boy to handle such vile things.

[@mujiescomedy279]

"Nobody knows Daredevil is blind". Except in the Tv series where he wore a mask over his eyes

[@FatSnorlax]

Man 100 issues of ASM really are legendary aren’t they? Also if they had the balls to kill off Aunt May in 1990 whatever why did they bring her back?

[@TevyaSmolka]

good question

[@trollkingxp]

Why don't you guys do this series anymore? This is one of the most fun segments you guys did.

[@comicpop]

We do. It's here: kzbin.info/aero/PLJSP81VuSGNYIJjaFTHpU7HEifW0vcnl_

[@erikmussoni9071]

How do you have sad issues and not have Ben?

[@BoyNamedSue4]

400 is one of the most heartbreaking comics I’ve ever read.

[@uberbusdubs5962]

Can we just acknowledge Tiff's sick burn on Doc Ock at 49:55?

[@Macewinrude]

Let the record show Tiffany predicted Echo’s new status quo 3 years early.

[@jwtcosplay4507]

Slott wrote over 200 issues of ASM? That’s 25% of all ASM issues written by Slott

[@comicpop]

Over 300...

[@johnnytt5233]

This makes me cry more than the Clone Saga...

[@ThePandaSupreme]

It’s kinda funny and sad how as Spider-Man goes on it gets worse like 400 was the best than 500 was alright and fun and then 600 just sucks

[@renarmamiya5397]

With the quickness

[@BrightBlue925]

Loved this episode. Agreed that 600 is the ugly -shudder-

[@8RONZ3M4N]

I used to think Judaa Traveller was OP till I found out he was Scrier's lackey.

[@SauASerrano]

I love the office they have.Its so nice and feels so organized.

[@kieranholmes8086]

She doesn't disown him in Spider-Man 2 lol

[@comicpop]

It's a joke lol

[@joshuanelson6795]

Good idea! Will you guys ever talk about AMAZING SPIDER-MAN #100, 200 and 300? Maybe SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN #100, 200 and 300?

[@jacobmusgrave1406]

Hangry Ethan!! Lol love it

[@justjackson7152]

Alright I might be mixing continuities up but didn’t Daredevil always know who Peter was because of the heartbeat thing?

[@SophiaSanders61]

ReBoot is the best!

[@jameskingman1227]

I don’t think 600 is that bad, but it isn’t a well crafted story like 400 and 500. 500 is one of my favourite stories to be fair.

[@TheTheDontae]

Damn son slott wrote over 300 issue of Spider-Man

[@TevyaSmolka]

when is spider-man going to be good again

[@thechipmunck9769]

He won't, I wish he would be that hero I used to love with MJ at his side....but sadly that hero is gone forever.

[@TevyaSmolka]

same here and it breaks my heart that my favorite hero spidey who i used to love with his wife mary jane by his side is never coming back :(

[@MrMike11233]

Never say never, guys. It *could* happen!

[@fun2building]

Zdarsky's Spectacular is really fun rn But if you're asking when Amazing will be good again specifically, yeah, probably never

[@TevyaSmolka]

the question is when

[@jacobmusgrave1406]

Good stuff!

[@RobW2K10]

Mary-jane is so poorly rendered it's not even funny....

[@99jmaster]

This video and the Discord is just another daily reminder of how hard it is being a Spider-Man fan

[@thebestofthebest5724]

Fuck will spider-man ever be good again

[@kendariusdupree1107]

Wait which part is bad, Dan Slot or one more day?

[@comicpop]

Why not both?

[@kendariusdupree1107]

ComicPOP I consider both bad

[@knight0001]

i have #400 with a different cover

[@ThePandaSupreme]

Scarlet spider costume is dope

[@FatSnorlax]

Oh and #700 is pretty good imo

[@kieranholmes8086]

500 is easily the best imo

[@jinxtheunluckypony]

Ben Reily is the costume!

[@catlawyerwilldefendfortrea6038]

All this Spider-Man but no Ben

[@fritschxf]

Newark is a terrible place...A place of nightmares..#BigFacts

[@ThePandaSupreme]

Ya should of just let aunt may stay dead that death was a good one and then they fucked it up by saying it was a actress hired by green goblin lol what

[@TsukiCondor]

Tiffany has a cute shirt :)

[@uponthehorizon9810]

Ranking Slott's hundred issues: 1. 700 (One of the best issues in his run, really. Along with most of Superior) 2. 800 3. 600 (though it's not terrible. I actually really like it. It just doesn't feel like a centennial kind of issue like the other two do)

[@andrewmatseshe7343]

Yay!!

[@adamquenano8563]

500 good 600 bad 400 ugly

[@SauASerrano]

I like the current Spider-Man.I read ultimate spider for a long time and big time got me back.I like how Parker is always doing crazy stuff that’s interesting.I don’t really like marry Jane so I guess that’s why I don’t care.
