Always remember the delights…
I decided to check up and see what my favourite Spider-Man characters were up to in the comics!
Well alrighty then.
Okay, let’s check in on Harry Osborn, I figured! As he has so far been untouched by the MCU (which is probably a good thing) he’s not exactly in the comics much, so I guess he might be ok-
WHAT HAPPENED?!?! He died again in almost the exact same way!?!?!… Oh. It’s an alternate universe. Or an alternate retelling? Either way my second-favourite fictional character of all time lives to fight another day, hooray! This is DOING MY HEAD IN.
I do love comics, I really do! But I haven’t actually read one in ages because they’re impossible to keep track of. There’s reboots and reimaginings and alternate futures and retcons and it’s ridiculous. Great, but ridiculous. I still haven’t seen Far From Home yet (tomorrow hopefully!) but I worry that them introducing the “multiverse” into the MCU will take things into a more, well, comic-y direction, and suddenly there will be Earths-[insert number here] all over the place. Because I kinda feel it was that sort of thing which helped sink the X-Men franchise, the constant going back on things and retconning and throwing in different universes, it just got waaaay too confusing for people who weren’t massive fans to begin with.
But we’ll see! Also I still hope the MCU never brings in Harry because there’s sooooo little chance they’ll get him right. Look at all that going on up there! That’s not even the half of it!
