Peter: i gottim no worries unkie ben
wow that looks even more like Andrew Tate than real Andrew Tate
I can't for the life of me understand the appeal behind the broccoli haircut. It's so fucking ugly.
Teens "rebel". Hair is one of the few things they have agency over. That you dont like it is an added bonus.
I personally don't care, but will fake outrage so to not break the social contract
bowl cuts are so much worse.
I honestly feel bad for the poor kids whose parents subject them to it!
i get economic necessity (my wife has been buzzcutting my skull every other week for idk how long because free. also fun and intimate.) but fashion bowl cuts?
I think it’s one of those things that youth do specifically because it’s youth coded. A lot of older people think it looks dumb, so they won’t do it themselves. And if anybody over 25 did it, it would look even dumber because of the pathetic attempt to look “hip”. I know when I was a kid I didn’t want to look like adults and thought it was weird if adults tried to look like me.
On the girls’ end, holy shit the Alysa Liu bleach stripes are everywhere now. That’s another one that would look ridiculous and sad if tried during middle age.
That Alysa Liu hair just looks like 00’s raccoon hair.
It looks stupid regardless of age. There's a ton of cringing at younger self ideas later on
Oh, it doesn’t mean they won’t look back on it with “blunder years” self amusement. It’s the frosted tips, peroxide blonde, white dude cornrows, bowl cut, skater hair, mullet, Beatles bob of Gen A. Every generation get one.
it's a stage look. not a walking around look.
You're implying straightened emo hair or spiked frosted tips and jnco jeans were a timeless look?
No, I didn't. Where did I imply such a thing?
You said you can't understand the appeal of youths having stupid haircuts when we did the exact same thing in our day.
I was asking about this specific haircut which I find ugly, not stupid haircuts in general. I'm Gen Z myself.
I can't believe how much the guy on the phone looks like Andrew Tate lol
I'm more shocked Tate uses "theirs" correctly and not "they'res" or "theres."
There's a "What If...?" where Peter realizes that stopping the crook will get him a reward. Uncle Ben never dies and Spider-Man becomes a media sensation, not a superhero.
To be fair, in the Raimi Spider-Man world where he's on his own (it's implied Dr. Strange exists in a quick JJJ joke, but we can safely assume that was a tongue-in-cheek reference and not deep lore), NYC probably reasonably ought to make an exception to certain laws and give Spider-Man an anonymous stipend. Just with no bounty system – a flat, modest rate to pay his living expenses.
Obviously it's extrajudicial vigilantism, but it's clear he's doing nothing but good, and he probably saves taxpayers tens of millions at least for the numher of common criminals and supervillains he gets off the streets (we'll ignore the nuclear fusion reaction that would've destroyed the city since no one but Peter and MJ can attest to it). Like just give the guy $50,000/year (~$85,000 in 2004, when the second movie was released and it was obvious to most he was a hero). If there's a conflict with taking it out of the city's budget, just raise the money through charity and let a trusted third-party disburse it. That's one dollar for every 160 New Yorkers (~8 million at the time); I'm sure by 2004, Spider-Man has positively impacted enough New Yorkers' lives for 1 out of every 160 of them to tip him a dollar, and that's not even counting people outside of NYC that we never hear about.
Imo, there's no good reason in the Raimiverse that someone shouldn't have successfully reached out to Spider-Man offering financial help in good faith. Not enough to make it glamorous or his main motivation but enough to keep him afloat. He could even keep working at the Daily Bugle for a while so it isn't suspicious.
There's a canon Spider-Man from very early where Spider-Man tried to join the Fantastic Four but they turn him down when he asks for a paycheck.
I really liked the early Luke Cage comics when he was still 'Hero For Hire.'
iirc Luke was a Defender and was getting paid by Nighthawk, another secret billionaire superhero.
Get their what..?
Theirs! Duh, bruh!
Edit: I don't watch his nonsense, but I can only assume it's what they're "owed" by society/women as "alpha ~~males~~ idiots".
So, those "alpha males" are some kind of therian? Like, they pretend to be a pack of wolves or smth?
Wolves don't even have "alphas". It's just fashy heirarchy fetishism.
Well, wild wolf packs do have leaders - mum and dad! So these Real Men are cosplaying as mothers
I mean...these days...it's "with great irresponsibility comes great powerlessness", even if you think you have power.
Amazing.
