If Spider-man was invented today, people would call it copaganda.
"Friendly Neighborhood Snitch-ass."
Cops hate him
Yeah, cause he takes all the fun parts of their jobs (catching bad guys, killing civilians) and replaces it with paperwork after they wait another hour for the guy in the web to be removable.
New, official Spider-Man stories get released all the time. What's stopping the writers from including a school shooting in a plot? Maybe they already have. Maybe school shootings aren't a big problem in Queens (that's where Peter Parker is from, right?).
Good writers don’t want to give Marvel their ideas or characters… so we just get dumb shit like Mary Jane as Jackpot now.
Introducing a new hero…. “Bullet Sponge!”
If Spider-Man was invented today he'd be considered a self insert. Jaded nerd gets super powers and constantly inner monologues he could beat up his bully
He could try, but he can't be everywhere - that one takes vigilance to stop before it happens, i.e. us.
And by vigilance, you mean changing laws to ban free possession of weapons, hopefully?
That would be one way.
I have thought long and hard and have been unable to come up with any other alternatives.
I do wonder if ghost guns may change things, but even so I doubt they can shoot e.g. 1000 rounds per minute. Anyway we should do something, rather than the literally nothing that is currently done.
Edit: to be clear, I am totally okay with people owning 1770's style muskets:-), it's those ones such as used in the Vegas shooting scenario that are unprecedented in their ability to lay waste to swaths of human crowds all at once that I think might benefit the most from regulation - and even then, perhaps put exemptions such as someone having served with distinction in the military can "properly" use such. I have no idea how...or for what, but sure, you've earned that and it still keeps it out of the hands of the untrained masses.
You may be onto something there
he will, and it's gonna be a single panel of suddenly the school shooter is wrapped in bodily or synthetic -- depending on which spiderman -- fluids.
prolly for spidey, this would just amount to a Tuesday side-quest.
American politicians then: "The solution to a bad man with a gun is a good man who can shoot really sticky stuff really far without getting tired".
Maybe movies about school shootings will be this generation's Vietnam films
New super hero, bullet proof rooms that need to be installed in every class room, Americans rn🤡
Unless he's also the flash, I doubt it considering how rare they are.
