Man, Edge of Spider-Verse was all kinds of messed up this week. Clay Chapman basically played up the ‘mutated by a radioactive spider’ origin and took it down a horror angle – while it’s a fun idea in theory, in practice it go to show that there are some alternate universes that are better off left unseen.
The weirdest thing is that everyone in the comic has a different name, as if the comic were written by someone trying to write a lawyer-friendly version of the characters. Which raises even more questions since it’s an official Marvel comic.
Go figure.
So anyway, what’s Spider-Man going on about with Snails and $10 million? It’s the video of the week, where the folks over at Rooster Teeth (AKA the Red vs Blue guys) animated a bit where they discuss a crazy hypothetical question – in this case, the question of whether they’d take a ‘free’ $10 million if it meant that they would forever more be chased by a snail that is trying to kill them by touching them.
$10 Million to be chased around by a snail for life? Actually, that doesn’t sound like all that bad of odds…
the different names are probably to make it as easy as possible to keep track of who’s who.
by Jason October 6th, 2014 at 14:50 --reply@Jason: Thing is that this is the only time it’s been so clearly done this way – all the other times there’s been a change in names, it seems as though they’ve been distinctly different characters (such as the previous Edge of Spider-Verse story) or its been a cultural shift (such as India Spider-Man). And most of the current Spider-Men in Edge of Spider-Verse share the “Peter Parker” name.
In this case, however, all the characters are pretty the same as the standard 616 counterparts except for some personality tweaks and the different names.
That’s why it stands out so much in this example.
