@@sergioruiz733 Yeah, I was pretty surprised that Nick Spencer's run on Spider-Man was as good as it was. Because let's be honest, his run on Captain "Hail Hydra" America was controversial to say the least. Still, better to be pleasantly surprised than consistently disappointed. If Donny Cates is given a chance to continue Spider-Man after Spencer, I hope he can keep up the momentum because I think Cates' style would really fit with what Spencer has been setting up in his Spidey run. Namely, there have been hints with the character of Kindred and stuff that they'll finally maybe will be undoing One More Day and get Peter and MJ back together. It would be really interesting to have Cates write about a Peter Parker who's back together with MJ and maybe they're expecting a child again. So Peter has to deal with the responsibility of being an expectant father, grappling with the legacies of his own father and father-figure Uncle Ben (along with maybe a few other father figures that Peter has had in the past like JJ, Connors (the Lizard), Osborne, Octavius, etc. It would also be great to see Peter bond with his secret long lost sister Teresa Parker and maybe bond with Eddie Brock again. Maybe reconcile and make amends with the Venom symbiote. Hell, even play a father/mentor like relationship with Miles Morales (or Hope Summers, who was Spidey's temporary student during the Phoenix Five incident). And hell, the theme of addiction can still be played by Peter struggling with an addiction to heroism and his constant guilt complex, while he grapples between the responsibilities of being Spider-Man and the responsibility as a husband and father to MJ and their child respectively. I'd also love some references to Leah and Timmy Robinson (if you're a true Spidey fan, you know very well who I'm talking about). As for cosmic stories, Cates could always have a plot about Spider-Man being the Center of the Web of Life and Destiny. Maybe even reference all the times he's met Death or that time that he met Thanos and Death and threw the gauntlet down at Thanos, all to save the soul of a child. There, fatherhood, addiction, and cosmic stories. Goddamn, all the ideas I just wrote down basically wrote themselves. It's fucking perfect for Donny Cates and Spider-Man!

The parallels between Cates' personal life and my own is a bit baffling. Currently attending SCAD, transitioned majors from sequential art to dramatic writing after being a bit dissuaded from the artistic skill of the other sequa majors. I'm also a millennial, though I came to college a few years late after having an issue with substance abuse. I'm gonna have to check out this guy's work.

There actually was a Spider-Man backup story in the 90s--I can no longer remember what the issue was--accounting for Venom's compulsion to protect people: Here we see Eddie Brock newly bonded with the alien creature and dedicated to revenge, but unsure how to go about tracking and confronting a foe like Spider-Man. He turns to an old friend who'd served in the military for advice on how to commit to violence, and after a few counseling sessions together the tips pay off. Grateful, Eddie gifts his old pal some money, only to later find that he used it to buy drugs and has died of an overdose. Initially Eddie blames himself, but almost immediately Venom decides that no, actually Spider-Man is to blame for this death and now must pay for it as well--but he vows to never again let another innocent person become collateral damage in their vendetta. This was a minor story, and I'm not surprised nobody remembers it now. Still, it's interesting that it touches on some of the same themes in Cates' writing today, and that it dates to the period that most influenced him as a writer.

There was a Jekyll and Hyde show a few years ago where when Jekyll turned to Hyde, there was no make-up, or transformation. The actor just became different, and more confident, and kind of unstoppable. I kind of took it that the Doctor had just had a drink or two, or a little sniff sniff in the bathroom. I thought it was an interesting way to show a "transformation". It is interesting to write a hero who got their powers that way. A hero who got their powers that way would have a huge dilemma.

A lot of this could have to do with economic status. As people have more money, they are less connected to their families. Millennials saw a drastic drop in income from previous generations so it would follow that they'd be more connected to family than previous generations.

Thanks for bringing up the similar plots between Cates and Starlin's stories. I honestly really really like Starlin and I believe besides Starlin, Marz and Giffen were the only writers I felt were able to write Thanos well and grow the character. However as much as I like Starlin's Thanos stories, his last two Infinity Trilogies relied on his tropes that is unfortunate. The fault is definitely Brevoort. Im honestly not a huge fan of Cates Cosmic stuff besides Silver Surfer Black, that include his Thanos series and Guardians run. He definitely takes a lot of influence from bombastic power leveling and using popular characters as well as building up having issues of two powerhouse characters fight which is present in a lot of his work like his Thor run and Thanos comics. Its not that these don't exist in other writers especially Starlin, but I feel like a lot of the time, the set up is forced and the stories are just set up so these characters can fight instead of a plot. Overall I like some of his works, like Silver Surfer Black, Venom and actually Thor (because im curious where its going). As you said he is growing though.

These guys are so unique they command pure admiration. Theyre like super super pro althete. 1 in a million will get work. They have to be insanely talented, have creativity coming out of their ears, have read all the comics since 1965 and work like a maniac.

Your videos are so good and thorough, which is why I’m surprised there was no mention or reference to his current run on Thor...which is SO GOOD!!! It turned me on to Cates and now it’s practically ruined all other comics for me. If you’re not reading his Thor, I highly recommend it!

Araki says that he loves dogs so when somebody hurts a dog in his stories it is to show how much a bad person that character is. Still, it is weird just how many dogs end up dead in his stories.

as a millennial i also grew up with the 90's boom/bust (first thing i read outside of a school assignment was spidey and nova vs the tri-sentinal) and venom was one of my favorite characters from that era. it was really nice to see the symbiote get some actual back story finally fleshed out. what is it like 25 years later and no one before now thought to talk about where they came from? i love the Klyntar ideas and the relationship between brock and the original suit. great stuff. thanks for talking about other stuff this guys written i will definately be looking into some of those titles.
