So now that the dust has settled and he’s getting thrown out of the comics, why did Paul even last three years? The readers didn’t like him, the creators didn’t like him, and as far as I know his only fan is some deranged Polish child molester. Yet, he lasted longer than Clone Saga, despite contributing nothing and hurting sales besides. What were they even trying to do with this guy? Why did they choose to tie him in with genocide apologetics?
I was reading Identity Crisis and I decided to make this because there's a character called Paul in it.
They better not let him leave before making his villain heelturn. If they just let him fade out like nothing happened that's even worse than introducing him in the first place.
>>150382938It's called a "humiliation ritual," Anon. They don't do it because it makes sense or makes money. They do it because it hurts.
>>150382966This makes him look like that one Baki panel.
>>150383003>Nobita be like:
>>150382996Is the Marvel Intern still here in these threads? I need to know what the bottom line on this enigmatic character, Paul Rabin, was meant to be! Was he really only around just to annoy everyone else?
>>150382938>>150382966I thought this guy was Cory delaminguez at first glance
>>150382938Okay asshole this where you made your mistakethe old thread is not in the archive yet and it's still alive flooding ans spamming is against the rules.>>150336981
>>150383003Jesus Christ what the fuck.
>>150383106It’s almost 10 PM in Poland, either stay up all night to spam and ruin your rest, or go to bed angry! Either way, I win! You should NOT have been a bully, so this thread is your punishment!
>>150383155Actually it's closer to 11 PM...
>>150383128It's an edit anon.
>>150383106It’s at bump limit. It’s perfectly valid to make a new thread when the old one hits bump limit. Sorry schizo, no rules broken. Maybe you should be less of a Paul and more of a Peter!
>>150383204Well, I didn't know that until I looked it up myself. I was thinking of that one scene from the RoboCop reboot, where he's like "Jesus Christ, there's nothing left!"
>>150382966This is Paul appropriation. Paul Rabin fans better crawl back to Paul Stacy, cousin of THE Gwen Stacy, and APOLOGIZE.
>>150383265They look like fucking pallete swaps. Literally Player 1 and Player 2 in an old arcade game.
>>150383183EVEN FUNNIER!
>>150383277While Paul Rabin’s bigotry against mutants is only implied, because Rabin is a coward, Paul Stacy is a card carrying member of Friends of Humanity! So they’re completely different, even though Rabin has probably killed far more mutants than Stacy.
>>150383238learn to read it is NOT in the archive and still active and that makes this thread spam.
>>150382938I find it funny that pretty much right after this panel absolutely no one gave a shit about the kids anymore. They were gone and everyone was just like "Oh that sucks, anyways."
>>150383439The moderators never cared the last two times we had this argument. I don’t think they’ll mind this time either. Feel free to report me all you like but I’ll still be fine.
>>150383326They look so goddamn like the same person. I would say to them, "You want ice cream cone?", both of them say yes.
>>150383516
>>150383204>it isn't realMy disappointment is immeasurable.Legoshi would have walked off those injuries.
>>150383491Showing disrespect to the mods is a BIG mistake on your half and it's also against the rules asshole.
>>150382938Zeb's fantasyRagebaitBad excuse for separating Peter and MJThat's it
>>150383204Baki is weird enough that I thought it was real for a while.
>>150383590Still here, by the way. Did you finally fall asleep?
Tom Brevoort is shutting down his Substack blog. These people suck so bad at playing PR, mostly because they can’t hide their contempt for the fans.https://bleedingcool.com/comics/tom-brevoort-says-substack-no-more/
>>150384655instead of relying on writers and editors that hate their fans they should hire people who know what they're doing. might be a good idea. idk.
>>150384655only surprising thing about this is that it didn't happen sooner
>>150384732If I were working for Marvel I would make sure that our entire business model would not exclusively revolve around pleasing a single deranged Polish pedophile.
>>150384943I would instead make sure it revolves around pleasing that one Venom Carol poster.
>>150384989How could you say something so brave and yet so true?
>>150382938Did they intend for this to be hilarious or was it actually meant to make us pity him, or something?
>>150385456Lowe thought people would be sad about it and then he could use that to rub dirt in everyone's eyes. Instead, it was celebrated, making Lowe look like a retard.
>>150384655>First, a Marvel Intern comes on 4chan to lecture people using the Slott Method.>Now, Tom Brevoort is quitting Substack.Hmm...
>>150383204Sussy
as far as spider man threads go this is pretty tame
>>150385456Every moment where fans laugh at Pauls despair was meant to be a sad moment worth pitying over
>>150382938He’s currently being set up to be killed off by Carnage Eddie Brock. When Carnage takes over Eddie and kills Paul in front of Dylan and Mary Jane. Traumatizing Dylan for life and giving him an exit out of the Venom title. Then MJ and Venom get separated during the Return of Knull.Then Venom symbiote and Eddie reunite.
>>150382938Tom Brevoort liked him
>>150382938Comic editorial mandates whatever they think will piss off fans because it increases "engagement"
>>150387221Before Venom symbiote and Eddie reunite, Carnage separates itself from Eddie after they both are losing to Knull. Meanwhile Miles Morales is pissed off for losing to Norman Spider Man which is a metaphor for readers choosing Norman being Spider-Man over him, who in reality are just waiting for Norman to undo OMD through himself and Sister Sorrow. Later, Carnage finds Miles praying to MepSHITo to kill the fake Spider-Man and decides to have him as the new host due to how pathetically funny yet familiar of him to do something similar to Eddie. As Carnage Miles calls to have a rematch with Norman Spider-Man, Norman answers by taunting both Carnage and Miles by saying something along the line of Murder Morales and Norman's ex deserving each other as a married loving homos with MepSHITo as the witness. Bewildered, Miles Carnage unleashes electricity. When their fight almost draws a conclusion, Anne Weying Agent She-Venom arrives out of nowhere and shoots Carnage Miles. Surprised by this, Carnage Miles escapes out of the 2v1 situation. Norman Spider-Man wants to chase but he decides to not to so he can suppress Green Goblin. Agent She-Venom failing to find traces of both of the characters now looks to find Eddie. In the mean time, Miles Carnage goes back to Earth-1610 to recover. The hunt for Carnage would later be continued there.Sleeper on the other hand chooses MJ as its new host and makes MJ basically cosplaying Yoruichi Shihouin from Bleach but with an addition of something similar to Spider-Man eye googles.
>>150382966oh god for some reason i didnt see the blue of his shirt and only the white, so i thought he had a really long neck
>>150387935Amazing Spider-Man is consistently a top 10 book and I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY.
>>150382938I think someone should rereadthe whole of Paul's story, with an eye on past Marvel stories. OP's pic reminds me of the Scarlet's Witch's children story from the 80s, which was redone for the SW tv series, etc. Plus there's the whole Peter, Paul, and Mary joke. The Jackpot powers of Mary Jane would fit in with some of the 1980s comics, like Jack of Hearts, Rom Spaceknight, and Captain Universe. Maybe DP7, too.
>>150388671Misery porn
>>150388983>OP's pic reminds me of the Scarlet's Witch's children story from the 80s, which was redone for the SW tv series, etc.>fifteen years from now some hack being pushed as a star writer remembers this era of Spider-Man>uses the fake kids as an excuse to have MJ suddenly go crazy and kill people as Marvel's latest effort to get rid of her
>>150382938Because of this: wikipedia.org/wiki/Frankfurt_School
>>150383106Imagine if/when this stuff all gets fixed and goes back to status quo and then trying to explain to normies/new readers that for some reason there was an entire 20 year story arc where Spider-Man murdered his unborn baby and sold his wife to the devil so that he could be a friendless cuck who didn't hangout with any of his friends and then got a girlfriend who cheated on him while Mary Jane had kids with some latino guy (one of them for some reason being Venom's kid) and started being a superhero only for the Green Goblin to become Spider-Man and fix it while Peter was too busy not being Spider-Man anymore because some black teenager and a bunch of chicks were being Spider-Man instead.Imagine trying to sell them on the idea that it was in any way worth their time to read or that any part of it seemed like a good idea at any point in time.
>>150389112If it ends with "no more spiders", I'll be okay with it.
>>150382938In a schadenfreude way Him I liked. Count that does, ja?
>>150383242>>150383620The weirder part is that he later does indeed die and is transported to an Isekai fantasy world where he pushes his Martial Arts to the limit. I'm 50/50 he will come back at some point through meditation cultivation astral projection bullshit
>>150389271It'd probably end up being something from an entirely different book, like Hulks or Wolverines, just to get a whole other fandom mad at MJ.Seriously though, there are a lot of weird parallels between what Quesada did to Peter and MJ with OMD and what John Byrne did to Wanda and Vision, from Mephisto showing up out of nowhere and negating any kids or potential kids, to the way editorial have stuck to both for decades in bitter defiance of fandom, and in defiance of the general normie perception of the characters, like hills they'll die on, but occasionally allow writers to tease the fans with moments of hope.
I think the upcoming Magic set looks cool. Hoping to get all my favorite villains
>>150385456You have to be kind of a psychopath to laugh at the idea of a man losing his children because you want his girlfriend to get back with her ex.
>>150389868>His children.Paul doesn't have children, anon. They were constructs made from infusing literal dirt with hocus pocus. Anyone having feelings for such things are delusional.
>>150389868You probably have to be some kind of psychopath to be a comic book writer who creates a man who looks like THAT and those kids that didn't even have consistent names, just as a blocking tactic to keep the star of the book and his main love interest apart, and to do le epic trolling on the readers.
>>150388671It's pretty good right now. If you don't have 4chan brain and rate things based on how together Pete and MJ, this is solid. Kelly is a respected, capable writer.>>150389170Your fanfiction copypasta sucks. >>150388625They have to have pills for this level of autism>>150384943Oh, I get it. You are also the "polish pedophile", samefagging.
Hear me out. Doc Ock takes Mary Jane's body, but he gets overcome with MJ's Lust for Peter. SUPERIOR MJ!
>>150390075marywh0refags........
>>150390281>The schizo has returned.SNAP!
>>150390281I just want Ock to become a beautiful women who's addicted to the Spider-Cock.
>>150386009Must be why the intern has been venting in the last thread
I've noticed a bunch of Miguel and Gwen smut on AO3.
>>150389868They were not his biological children, and they weren't even real.
>>150386009>Marvel Intern comes on 4chan to lecture people using the Slott MethodQRD? Archive link?Sounds hilarious.
>>150391212It's in the last thread:https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/150336981/There's some guy that got angrily hostile on behalf of Marvel and writes in a way that sounds like Slott, Wacker, or others from Marvel who usually get into fights online
>>150389364I pretty sure one of the other character that fought Pickle had his arm replace with Retsu's very own and even (somehow) knows all of his kung fu moves. It's possible with be through that character.
>>150391087O'Hara has a brother, and possibly a sister. And depending on what the writer wants to go with, his father is either an absent labourer and terrible person, or the Megacorp owner, Stone.So would the "Paul steals the gf" have gone over better with 2099? Or maybe Miles Morales, since hood rats are gonna be hood rats?
>>150391252Nah, I was never angry. I did call you subhumans, but that's just because you are? You're basically shit flinging monkeys playing in your own shit pile and congratulating each other for it for your cleverness. You've developed a fact-and-reason proofed persecution delusion, where the book doesn't sell, people who've dedicated their whole lives to comics do it just because they hate like 8 guys on a pirate forum, and when a guy points out how crazy that is to believe, you all tell yourself that only a secret Marvel Operative could possibly disagree with you.Using your head and considering the natural motives of the people involved would explode this worldview in an instant, but you're way past that now. There is only one book, published in 2008, that will ever matter. And you'll die fixated on it.
Kek, still seething.
>>150384655I don't think this is Spider-Man related, but more Tom getting so much shit he got from creators for his comments regarding AI
>>150391406Sure thing, intern
>>150391476He probably needed somewhere to vent if Disney's paying more attention to social media and shit
I'm not the one still mad about a comic old enough to enlist. Not mad enough to invent or sock puppet a fictional "polish pedophile" in order to score points off of. Not mad enough to send hate mail.You will, of course, insist that I am seething, because fact simply cannot penetrate your world. You will feverishly congratulate yourself.And then you will still be here tomorrow, and to you, it will still be 2008, a bullpen of people out to get you, and any disagreement could only be Marvel coming to twist the knife.Very few people have ever been that mad about anything. Kek, seethe, indeed.
>>150391508You can easily replace modern Marvel writers with AI without anybody realizing it, so I can see why he's defending it.
>>150391406>>150391535You're mad enough to write walls of text because people don't like your direction at Marvel
>>150383106>>150383590This fucking TWINK is gonna MURDER Paul and then RAPE Spider-boy and FREE our HERO SpiderKINGman from the HYPERBOLIC KEK CHAMBER and you're LAUGHING because he's gonna CROSS the MULTIVERSE and KEK MILES by FUCKING PENI AND GWEN at the SAME TIME by being SANDWICHED between them and you're LAUGHING at the fact he's gonna IMPREGNATE AUNT MAY and MURDER PAUL? You're laughing, he's gonna amputate Paul and give him an EXPERIMENTAL SURGERY to turn him into A FUCKING SNAIL and you're LAUGHING because he'll be in his KEK SHELL while he watches DYLAN FUCK MJ AND PETER with such sexual prowess that it INSTANTLY FIXES THEIR RELATIONSHIP and makes them REMARRY and DYLAN HAS BEEN GIVEN SAINTHOOD so he's gonna OFFICIATE THE WEDDING. You find that funny? /co/ is fucking SICK
>>150391535Uh-huh. Not mad, huh? Sure.
In a vain attempt to steer the conversation into something other than a guy who may or may not be a pissed off Marvel employee, a writer, or simply an autist larping just to keep the conversation going.What are your thoughts on The Chameleon? Is he a good Spidey villain? He's less confrontational and more deception, arguably could have been a Black Widow foe in another time. Also is it technically blackface with him?
>>150382984How does making him a villain solve anything? Combating a trashy story with another?
The funniest thing is that they hated the marriage because "it limited the story they could tell" and because "Spider-Man's best stories were when he was single" but everything after OMD has been shit and repetitive. So maybe they are right about the marriage but they sure as hell have done an awful job at proving it.
>>150390075>MaryWhoriumFags are secretly homosexuals
>>150391858It's why the intern is stuck using the same old excusesMy favorite is the "OMD is old, get over it" excuse that these losers always use, because it comes off like projection from Marvel people upset about the marriage and enforcing OMD
>>150391902>>150390281>Muhfuggin Marywhores>Norman, dear, who is this strange homeless man?>Oh, don't mind him Gwen. That's just Paul Rabin.>Maryslutfags>What's wrong with this poor man?>Hm? Oh, some breakup he never got over. He's just been living like some sort of homeless schizophrenic.>That's so sad...>Don't pity him too much, my dear. He's from Poland, and he even tried to molest Eddie Brock's son. Now come on, it's almost time for Peter and Mary Jane's anniversary.>WHORES! WHORES! WHOOOORES!>Yes, I do think we better get going. What an awful creature.
>>150392536I bet Paul is missing a few teeth due to meth use, and is covered in his own urine.
>>150391576>What are your thoughts on The Chameleon? Is he a good Spidey villain? He's less confrontational and more deception, arguably could have been a Black Widow foe in another time. He is alright. Definitly more niche since he doesn't rely on punch punch punch to fight.>Also is it technically blackface with him?He is anyface, but you just know someone will bitch if he ever impersonated Robbie.
