NWTD: My opinion and some people responses

It is not a secret, in CBR forums I wrote in "the best Spider-Man arc in the last 10 years" thread that each have a personal opinion about certain stories (that was a response to someone saying NWTD is good, but not great), I replied that to me: NWTD is more lovable than anything J.M.Dematties ever wrote even Kraven's Last Hunt, I had some funny responces:

*WHAT????    

*

*You are joking, yes?

*Are you Dan Slott?

I don't see anything surprising here, some people hate Spider-Man so what's so unbelievable about me thinking NWTD is better than K.L.H? I give K.L.H a high "A" mark, but NWTD an "A+".

Heheheh.

I've only seen scans of the story so far, but I'd say it's a bit better than the other BND stuff, but still some flaws with it.

Like when Bullseye is able to throw Spidey's tracer at him, there's a couple of things I'm thinking...

1. Is his reaction time and spider-sense on vacaction, or were Spidey's wounds responsible for that.

2. Bullseye is not super-powered right? So why would he be able to penetrate Spidey with his Spider-tracer as a projectile? I don't recall any sharp edges on the tracer, so it's like if I took a Nintendo DS game, and threw it at your neck, and it was able to go inside. That makes no sense.

The logic presented, is that the shooting mechanism for Spidey's tracer releases less force than Bullseye, meaning Bullseye can toss the tracer further than the release mechanism, thus meaning...I don't know, it just doesn't add up for me.

Any fight with Bullseye and Spidey should be over as fast as it was in Marvel vs DC between him and Batman imo. Web his ankles together, web his hands, punch him in the face.

What Dan did with Bullseye is great, in comics and cartoons there are things not to be thought hard of and diss even a little because it lacks reality, Bullseye was done dangerous enough to stay in the Thunderbolts.

These are comics: Arts of expanding fiction & imagination up to the wildest level, how many people thought it was unreasonable for Spider-Man to defeat Titania or even to hurt her a little with the hard level of strength between the 2? When Punisher 1st appeared he was able to hurt Peter and kick him a whole yard backwards when Punisher doesn't posses any superhuman strength or wear power enhancing gizmos. Daredevil can defeat Spider-Man in a fist fight when DD has no strength more than C.A

C.A (Captain America) didn't learn karate so his body wasn't skilled to break bricks or ice, the super serum only makes his abilities up to peak human level but he can injure Spider-Man using his fist and throwing him back 4 yards.

Does Bullseye situation still bother you? If you think it over it shouldn't, in comics anything can happen since Jason Todd and so many others beside him came back from death just like magic (not applied on Ben Grimm)

Your logic is that it's comics so it doesn't have to make sense, which is rather weak.

With DD, I think you're referring to the Jean DeWolff storyline, where DD himself admitted that he'd be in trouble if Spidey wasn't fighting with reckless anger. Every fight with DD has him noting that, and that even if DD gets hits in, he's in trouble.

With Cap, honestly, it's mystifying to me. Yes, he's a great fighter, but with Spidey's reaction time and agility and durability, Cap should be busting his knuckles on him. I know the Scorpion did. The same logic applies for Spidey when he hits the Hulk or Thanos.

Cap can punch out the Hulk according to Fallen Son: Spider-Man, so yeah, it's comics, who cares about logic, right?

Wrong.


Even comics follow some sort of logic or continuity, or at least they used to.


When Spidey goes from taking on the likes of Firelord, the entire X-Men, etc, etc, yes, it bothers me.

Spidey combines his speed, strength, spider-sense, and fighting experience, not to mention his grit and brain-power to take on better opponents.

Others do it with bad writing or jobbing.

Titania was stronger than Spider-Man, but she couldn't lay a hand on him. Not to mention she was new to these sorts of fights as it were.

I could go on and on, but anyone who knows their comics knows what I'm saying.

At least you said "rather", so you agree with me in some points even if you didn't elaborate.

Nice response ;)
