Do you not remember the whole opening scene of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, which established that Peter's parents were corporate hacker spies and had thrilling action scenes on airplanes? Presumably it would tie into that, and it would be a period piece showing a young Aunt May doing some kind of cool corporate spy stuff with her brother, and they'd meet some woman and not get at long at first but that would be a source of dramatic irony because the audience knows that that woman and May's brother get married and make a Spider-Man, but the characters don't know that because it hasn't happened to them yet.

OK first off spoilers. Secondly it's pretty great that in 2020 they're making a big sci-fi action movie about a dude who is so radicalized by the government's poor treatment of climate refugees that he takes a Muslim name and becomes a terrorist, and he's the hero of the story.

I'm also thinking that the removal of the "'s Flash" part of the title might imply that they're changing the ending.

extremely yes

but also, re spoilers, i'm pretty sure the venn diagram of people who care about hathaway's flash from the jump, and people who already know that spoiler, is essentially a single circle, so i kinda filed it under luke's-father/tyler-durden rules

e: re your edit, i'm gonna be kind of surprised if we get a movie about him where he's not the Universal Century's greatest failson :v:

If Morbius died would he become a regular vampire or a dead living vampire?

The zombie universe version of Morbius was zombified, proclaimed himself a "vambie" and thus unstoppable, and was promptly staked by regular Morbius, upon which his corpse apparently combusted and turns to ash. So according to the logic of that comic, Morbius the living vampire became a supernatural vampire after he was turned undead.

It was just so weird because Spider-Man's parents are not important. They are not like Harry Potter's parents or Bruce Wayne's or Clark Kent's. He had one storyline, literally a single extra-sized issue, where he solved the mystery of what happened to them and cleared their names. Then they were a total non-factor until the 90s where they came back as robots. It was only when Ultimate Spider-Man came out at the end of '90s that they were made into something. Now that Ultimate is gone the 'rents are once again nobodies.

tl;dr, a goon ran off to syria to be a combat medic after being trained by youtube, got thrown in a syrian torture prison and assumed dead, CIA got him out a couple years ago iirc

Lando was always a weird libertarian. poo poo, he was willing to sell out his best friend as long as the empire left his little enterprise free of regulation. And then when the government hosed him over in his eyes, he went all Ruby Ridge on them.
