For some reason, I still think the most awesome part of the movie was how they had Hawkeye say he's got an arrow for Loki before the last major battle. They have him go through the last major battle and run out of arrows, and he scrambles to get one more. And then he shoots one final arrow at Loki and, knowing that Loki would just catch it or deflect it somehow, he made it an explosive arrow.

I was very, very happy with everything they did with Hawkeye.

Yeah, the rights thing is stupid - that's the reason why Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch weren't in the movie, and why the Chitauri were the villains rather than the Skrulls. This just doesn't work for Marvel movies - all characters are supposed to occupy the same universe and be able to appear in anything.

I think Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch weren't in the movie because it would be pretty weak to have them in there without anything Magneto being done with the universe yet. You can't really delve into them too far because of that.

And they clearly kept the Skrulls away from the movie for the Fantastic Four, which is perfectly fine. That means they want to use them later. Nothing wrong with that. The Chitauri were fine for the blanket random enemies they were supposed to be.

And just because they have chosen not to involve certain characters doesn't hurt the movies at all. They'll get the rights to the Fantastic Four eventually, and they'll get to play ball with them.

I hope they get Ant-Man and Wasp in the sequel. They're really the only other guys I want added into the group, and I feel like just adding those two probably wouldn't cut down on the time for everyone else too much, especially if they make an Ant-Man movie before then.

So now we learn to Chain Web Kick! Basically, you can zip and then kick off an enemy, then continue doing that to infinite. So Luke Cage has us do it to a bunch of thugs who are just standing there. After I finish that, I can do a lot more leveling up! Yay!

Now, here comes the fun stuff. The thing about the Web Kicks are that it's the easiest way to fight by far. So I spam the hell out of them and anything else I can grab. This include the move I'm grabbing immediately: The Web-Strike Crush. This moves makes Spidey ride the enemy like a skateboard and bounce them off the ground and damage anyone nearby. It's so cool. Then I grab the Web-Strike Throw which, as you might imagine, throws the enemies when you go to web strike them. It's a nice combo addition as well. Then I pick up the Uppercut Launch, which allows enemies to get air combo'd. This is very valuable. Then I got TORNADO, which makes Spidey spin around and attack anyone nearby. So now I have a pretty nice array of moves that I can use effectively.

But now Luke Cage wants us to save a gang member so the gangs will quit fighting like a bunch of jackholes. And now comes the most annoying mission so far. You need to stop the gang from blowing up the gas station (I don't know), and the thugs are just driving around the block in their low riders, so you do the heroic thing and blow them all up. Seriously. Except you can't do much about it and it takes forever to blow them up. Eventually, I figure out that hitting it from the side does the job the best and I take it down relatively easy and blow up all of those vehicles.

Like a hero.

Then I buy my Web-Flurry, which allows me to spam the hell out of my web shoot attack for a more powerful one.

Then I talk to Luke Cage again. They gab about origins. Spider-Man goes "I was bitten by a spider!" Hilarious. Cage ends up talking trash on Spidey's outfit, and he says "Hey, it's a classic! It's iconic!" And then Cage says "I was unaware that one of iconic's definitions was 'ugly as hell.'" To which Spidey replies, "This comic from the man that used to run around in a yellow puffy shirt, with a little silver tiara in his afro?" There you go. One of the very few good jokes in this game. Cherish it.

Cage: You've become a heavy hitter here.
Spidey: By heavy do you mean "serious", like in, "Oh that's heavy, bro" or "heavy" as in, possessing a large mass. Like a fat guy.

They follow that joke up with this one, just fyi.

Anyway, Luke Cage tells me to take out a large group of enemies with the web swing attack. It's a fun attack too. Mostly because you swing and plow them all over with a kick and they go flying.

So then I have to do a bunch of random missions using the technique I just learned (this gets tired) and I just rack up the experience, honestly. Not much else to do but that.

Eventually, I get bored. I decide I'm done with this game for a while. I do buy the Aerial Web Bounce where you can grab a guy in mid air and tug them back with your webs, then smash them again. I think I'm almost done with this area of New York though. Luke Cage should send me on the way to another Marvel character who is pretty awesome, in my opinion, and gets even less mainstream attention.

WHO WILL IT BE?

Xbox GT: PrivateBiscuit1
Down with Zhang. Let there be Biscuit!

So my first mission is to Reduce Crime in Harlem! I need to stop 5 crimes. But what's this? There's a Spider I just found! Whoo boy! A spider is a little collectible scattered around the world. It increases my swing speed, the size of my health bar, and my special meter. But I need at least 10 of them before I can hit Level 2. I go looking for more when MY SPIDEY SENSE IS TINGLING! I can press LT to target on crime activity if I see it on my map. So basically, all hell is breaking loose now and you have to run around and beat up thugs who are fighting. I do that five times and now I get to talk to Luke Cage.

Now, I can pick up a new mission from Luke Cage, but instead we're just going to chat. Spidey asks him about the gang war and says he grew up in Queens. SO HE HAS NO IDEA WHAT ALL OF THIS GANG FIGHTING IS ABOUT. Think about that, realizing that Spider-Man has been at this heroing thing for years. So Luke Cage gives a little speech about how gangs are, and it's about as cliche as you could guess.

And now let me tell you something else bad about this Spider-Man. His line delivery is sooo bad. So when he tells jokes, they're really bad. For instance:

Luke: You could be a great fighter. You just need some more sense.
Spidey: Hey! I've got more sense than you!
Luke: Excuse me?
Spidey: You know, my Spider-Sense. One of these days I'll think of something cooler to call it. But until then...

Luke Cage gives no s*** about Spider-Man's terrible lines and just tells him off with each one. It's nice. He tells him to use his Spider-Sense to pick out snipers and take them out before they can shoot Luke Cage's informant. So I head to the waypoint and beat down thugs on the way. And while I do that, I get my 10 spider tokens! I got more health now. I get to the waypoint and it's Spider-Sense time! You can hold in LT to get a scan on everyone in the area. Blue is for good people and red is for bad people. Easy. I target them, beat them down, cause a lot of collateral damage along with blowing up cars with people in them, and I'm done!

MISSION COMPLETE!

I now have enough experience to choose my Web-Blast attack. Which is basically a WEB KAMEHAMEHA! You just hold B and fire a big web blast.

Anyway, Luke Cage gives me "Sense and Defeat Thugs" missions and I complete them while I get 15 more Spider Tokens for a LEVEL UP! I get more Special Meter.

I go back to Luke Cage who tells me he'll teach me to fight well. I say alright and now we're in a CAGE MATCH (no, the game calls it that). Now here's one of the fun things about this game. You can instantly web at enemies with Y and then hit Y again to kick them in the face. The first time I mess up and Luke Cage just kind of catches me in his big, manly arms, sets me down, and pats my head. What a sweetheart.

Now, I screw up a second time and this happens.

Spidey: Aww man! I can't do this!
Cage: Don't give up on me, Spidey! You can do this!

That's right, Spider-Man is so much of a loser that he says he can't do something after two attempts, and almost wants to quit over it. He's basically twelve. Anyway, I learn the Web Kick, Web Abortion, and the Web Counter Kick (those are my names for them). And now I can get Luke Cage as my ally! OH BOY!

So I kick some more ass in the streets so I can unlock more missions. I get more Spidey Tokens and get Level 5! Whoo! Let me tell you that these Spidey Tokens are not difficult to find at all. Usually you spot them on rooftops or in alleys, but when you see one, you usually see three others in the general area. So it's easy to just run around and grab them.

Anyway, next up is MORE TRAINING WITH LUKE CAGE!

I hope you're excited.

Down with Zhang. Let there be Biscuit!

Let me just state that if you're a Luke Cage fan, there's a lot of him in this game. In fact, if I remember right, he's the best character in this game for the fact that's he's LUKE FREAKING CAGE. Gotta love him.

Anyway, after this fantastic boss fight consisting of throwing cars, I get the prompt that I can change suits. Now, I know. Black Spidey gets to throw cars and do more awesome hits and stuff. However, regular Spidey is faster. You get choices later in the game to do something Black Spidey would do (I'll likely call it Spider-Dickery) or you get to be a good Spider-Man and do heroic choices. Believe me, both of them have a high potential for some terrible unintentional comedy. I'd make a separate save to do both of them simultaneously, but unfortunately this game only lets you have one save file at a time. Thanks for that, Activision. So I will do heroic Spider-Man first, simply because I like playing as heroic Spider-Man. He's more fun, imo.

And since I'm playing heroic Spider-Man, I'm only going to level up heroic Spider-Man stuff. Yup, there's a leveling system. You can upgrade your attacks, get new abilities, among other things. It's locked now, but I'll talk more about it when it's available.

Anyway, we must now creep and follow MJ's ambulance to the hospital. We get there and IMMEDIATELY a bunch of thugs pull up in matching purple low riders and start shooting at this ambulance. Spidey jumps on top of the ambulance as the two medics get out of it, instead of stopping the thugs. The medical guy says, "You! Stop those hooligans!"

And Spider-Man stutters out, "Uh... yeah. O-okay!" in the most unheroic way possible. Now we must defeat hooligans. We get a monologue from Spidey where he talks about how he wishes he could be at MJ's side with her hurt arm, but he couldn't ignore this gang fight going on right outside of this hospital! (Yeah, I guess it's a gang fight now.) I beat up everyone and more low riders drive up. They say they're going to waste the Spider-Freak, and then start shooting. Then Luke Cage walks up, bonks one of them on the head, then they all try to shoot him down. And, like the badass Luke Cage is, the bullets don't harm him but end up blowing up a car behind him.

Anyway, another unique thing with Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is that sometimes you'll have people fight with you. So Luke Cage joins us in the fight with some cool moves. Tbqh, I would really like to play as him. I kill the enemies with Cage before plopping down beside him. The game then tells me to FIND LUKE CAGE. So I look to my left and chat with him. He says to beat down any thugs I see and go meet him in the park later. Word.

MISSION COMPLETE!

And now I unlock power ups. Basically, it works like a leveling tree. You get RED, BLACK, and ALLIES. Red is for regular Spider-Man, Black is for symbiote Spider-Man, and Allies allows you to call in buddies to help you out depending on your alignment. You need to unlock them first though.

The different leveling trees are like so:

Ground Attack
Air Attack
Web Attack
Web-Strike
Special Attack
Web-Shot (Red)
Tendril Attack (Black)

Each side gets different ground and air attacks, and you level them by getting red or black experience, which is given to you based on what suit you use to fight crime. Something nice is that you can preview attacks if you can buy them with a nice video that shows you how it works. Most of the attacks are locked though, so I can only really do one Web-Shot thing and two Ground Attacks.

I choose to purchase a Counter Attack, and then I pick another attack on my combo.

Stay tuned for more!

"HE'S BACK"

So now we have Spider-Man narrating and saying it all began when he was fighting Venom. Mary Jane is on the ground, looking hurt, and then Venom is holding Spider-Man up saying he's got him this time. Spider-Man pleads with him to stop it, then he kicks off Venom and gets a bit of symbiote on him. Then he becomes DARTH SPIDER-MAN. Or I guess symbiote Spidey. I dunno, we'll see what the game calls it. Your first command as black Spidey? "Press B to grab and throw a vehicle". Welp. So you grab a vehicle and throw it at Venom who just kind of watches you do it.

Being the plucky Spider-Man I am, I run right up to Venom who proceeds to b**** slap me through half a dozen cars. WHOOPS. After that, I get a command to grab a car and throw it at Venom. Well, alright. I throw a vehicle at him like it's a damn football pass and he gets pegged, which also creates a large explosion due to me hitting three other cars with it. WHOOPSIE! I throw another car at him when he jumps on the wall, but it gets clipped by a tree and explodes. Whoops. And then I throw another one at Venom, but he moves. So the car kind of bounces off the wall harmlessly and falls on the street. After a second, it actually explodes. lulz He says "I WILL TAKE THE GIRL FROM YOU!" and then he stomps towards Mary Jane. I run up to Venom and try to stop him, but then he just kind of pimp slaps me back into a bunch of cars. I land into a car sitting next to Mary Jane, which of course explodes and leaves her unharmed. I grab another car and peg him with it. And then another to finish it.

"Brock! Look at me when I talk to you!" says Spider-Man in the wussiest voice ever as Venom is recovering after the sixth car that's been tossed at him. He then walks back towards Mary Jane while Venom escapes.

Then Mary Jane, while in a crowd of people, says, "I got you a birthday present... but then there was this loud noise, and..." Spider-Man looks over at Mary Jane, who is being loaded into a gurney.

"Everything's fine. You're going to be fine." says Spider-Man. "I love my present!" She is put into an ambulance. Peter looks at his tiny present and says in a most disappointed voice, "I love my present..."

So yeah, I don't know if everyone knows Peter Parker is Spider-Man now. I believe when this game came out, that stupid Civil War crap was done, and this came out before Brand New Day (I think). So Spider-Man's identity might be known. But I wouldn't put it past Activision to just not give a f*** about continuity and keeping his identity a secret. Also, MJ's present is a little box in red wrapping.

Now, this is one of the very few times I will post a cutscene here. But this cutscene is so laughably bad that I feel like I need to point it out. And I feel like everyone needs to not just take my word for it when I say "This writing is terrible" or "Spidey's voice is the worst ever." Because I will be posting plenty of things where you'll say "Okay, that can't be real" or "You're lying now." No, I want you to realize this early that I won't lie to you about the quality here.



This seemed like a good breaking point for this post though, and it gives you all plenty of time to absorb what is about to come. Next up... I have to save citizens.

Down with Zhang. Let there be Biscuit!

So you get sent into a cinematic of Spidey jumping away and shooting webs. And then the guy is falling to the ground, and we learn quickly press B to save citizen. F***ing citizens. Spidey asks where Cage and MJ are to the soldier. And let me tell you, I have the worst Spidey in my title for a reason. The voice here is... sooooooo bad. So, so, so bad. He is the whiniest mother f***er in the world. His angry/serious voice makes him sound like he's about to cry. Such a bad voice. The guy who does it is Michael Vaughn. You will not know him from anything else, but please enjoy his wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Vaughn

Anyway, you take this struggling dude to another waypoint. Apparently these soldiers are SHIELD agents, I guess. You get him to the waypoint and toss him on a gurney. Spider-Man wastes no time in asking more soldiers "WHERE IS SHE!? WHERE IS EM JAY!? RED HEAD! ARM IN A CAST! GAAAAH! YOU'RE NO HELP!" And leaves. Literally does not even give them a chance to speak. Then you have to help SHIELD fight more enemies. You get told to break open a pod, which really, really sucks. And let me tell you why. Your first attack on a wall is a slide. So you press X, you do a slide. And then you slide right past the pod every time. It's infuriating.

Anyway, you break the pod where all of the symbiotes come from and you see LUKE MOTHER F***ING CAGE driving in a beat up car to the scene with Mary Jane in the car with a cast on and a f***ing shotgun in her hand. Let me state I forever hate and loathe Mary Jane and this game just makes me hate her more. Really? A shotgun? Are you serious? So Spidey sees them drive up. They get out of the car and Spidey immediately lands on top of it and yells "MARY JANE! YOU'RE ALRIGHT!"

Luke Cage says "Boy, you better calm yourself."

And so our great hero, Spider-Man, whines out "Mary Jane! I promise I won't use it again!"

To which Mary Jane says "We're past promises, Peter!" And she walks off with Luke Cage, who is urging her to go forward.

Spidey looks all dejected as a shadowy figure walks up, then wraps Spider-Man with his venomy goodness, and then we're treated to a black out. So in some messy way, this is supposed to be something set later in the game.

Welcome to Spider-Man: Web of Shadows.

Typos so bad. Should be ITT as in In This Topic. And it should be Trivia with Wolverine.

Sorry, I'm just matching up with the quality that this game has!

Now then, we get treated to a sad piano waltz and weird alien things attacking a bunch of soldiers. Spidey leaps away and we hear voices of Mary Jane nagging at us (get used to this), we get Wolverine threatening us (get used to this), and then Black Cat hitting on us (get super used to this). Meanwhile, Spidey is showcasing exactly what we can do by web zipping into a bunch of venom monsters before landing on a roof and letting us play.

Oh, and remember when I said sad piano waltz? It isn't just any sad piano waltz. It's Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. This game literally thinks that it's impressive enough to use a song like that in its intro. If you don't know it, you've heard it a thousand times. I'll link you to it.



I'm now in the Prelude! My objective is to Eliminate Symbiotes! Now, my first time trying this game, I had no idea wtf was even going on at this point. I have a better idea now. I jump off the building and completely forget how to web sling, but I do save myself at the last second! If I have to give the game credit for anything, it's got fun web swinging. It would have been nice if they game told me how to do this. Fortunately, I think they just expect you to jump off a ledge and run to the waypoint. However, in most platformers, you jump off a ledge and hit the ground, you get hurt. Not in Spider-Man: Web of Shadows though! It tells you to throw away everything you know and make a leap off in faith. Anyway, you get to the waypoint and see a bunch of things that I can only describe as looking like Anti-Venom. I won't give a history lesson on Anti-Venom, but I'll offer a pic so you know what I'm talking about:



Now then, I'm supposed to eliminate these things. I'm not told what does what though. I'm just supposed to mash buttons until I find something that looks like I'm making Spider-Man punch. Now, I pick X (I'm playing the 360 version, btw) and instantly, Spider-Man is throwing f***ing flame fists and kicks of fury everywhere and completely decimates the generico enemies for the game. Gotta say, that's pretty cool and makes me feel like a badass. Iron Fist should be jealous. Credit to game here. I destroy all of them and get little red orbs, which are my experience for the game.

After the first fight, I start web slinging to the next waypoint to repeat the process. Only this time, it tells me how to web sling. And then when I get to the enemies, it tells me to press X to God Fist them to death. This is AFTER the first time I had to fight these things, btw. I kill them all and get to my next waypoint. We see the baddies presumably kill one of the soldiers and he disappears after blinking a few times. Oh, Activision.

After this, we get a cutscene of a huge ass helicoptor crashing into a building. We have to fight a bunch of enemies that look much more Venom-like on a wall. Wall combat is like, terrible. Press X until things die. That's it. And if you accidentally go over the top, you fall BACK. You don't get to the top of the building, you fall off of it. It makes no sense. We also learn that we can tap RT to do a web zip, which basically catches onto a wall or something and tugs us there. Neat. Useful. Anyway, I do my spinny top kicks to kill all of the enemies on the walls. Then a bird venom enemy grabs a soldier and flies in the air. And NOW we learn:

"Quickly press B to shoot Webs"

Which answers the age old question of: How do I shot web?

So Spider-Man: Web of Shadows is a pretty good game.

It also has a terrible story, terrible characterizations for the most part, and at points you just become exasperated by the offense you take to your intelligence. If you don't believe me, let me just state one thing that will set the pace for this game:

Triva With Wolverine

Seriously. Being a huge Spider-Man fan, I found myself groaning at this game more often than not, because it takes Spidey and many other great Marvel characters and just uses them in some ridiculous ways. I've wanted to beat this game forever, and this might be the thing that helps me do it. I'll be playing this puppy from the start (because good god, some of the worst stuff is straight at the beginning) and chronicling everything here. You'll get my opinions on the game itself, the story, and what they do with these characters as well.

If you're a Marvel or Spider-Man fan, I'm sure you'll enjoy this. And I'll try to make it an entertaining read for you.

So without further ado... here's Spider-Man: Web of Shadows.

So having watched all the episodes so far... I wouldn't say it's that bad. They figure out the pacing around the Taskmaster episode and learn to cool it on the jump cut jokes as much. Those jokes tend to be much shorter a lot of times, and they're also less frequent.

The Thor episode was actually really cool and helped advance the team. Overall, I think it could turn out to be a pretty good show. Although I have to say those first episodes were definitely filled with many problems.

According to sources, people close to Ric Flair and TNA have confirmed that the two sides are at a major impasse, as there is a ton of heat on Flair for conduct outside the ring. One TNA source described the situation as, “being at the point it’s not worth keeping Flair around.” There have reportedly been a number of incidents involving Flair at local establishments and bars in Orlando since coming to the company. Sources say that Flair was banned from drinking at the Hard Rock Cafe in Citiwalk due to an incident with him “acting inappropriate”, leading to venue management banishing him.

There have been reports from talent in TNA that Flair has not been able to cover bar tabs repeatedly, and company management getting a call from the hotel and/or bar seeking payment. The most recent incident at the hotel TNA utilizes for their wrestlers and staff, which the company has had a great relationship with for years. This was reportedly the last straw in the situation, as Flair was pulled from the Louisiana house shows and the final TV Tapings before Impact Wrestling goes live on May 31st.

Many have compared this to the situation on the European tour last year, where TNA’s Craig Jenkins, after several days of fronting Flair money to cover a bar tab, refused to do so again. Flair then screamed at Jenkins in front of the entire crew and refusing to get on the TNA tour bus to head to the next date, and was then left behind. Publicly, Flair blamed the matter on the company not giving him “advances” like he would get when touring for WWE, citing that he was “used” to that treatment.

Many forces within the company have been against having him as a regular since he came into the company, noting that while he carries a high price tag, he hasn’t translated into drawing money or ratings for the company. And now with these issues, it seems, as all they are getting is “Ric Flair level behavior,” not “Ric Flair level performances.”

Others within the company feel that Flair and WWE put them in a “no win situation” when Flair was announced for the WWE Hall of Fame, noting that the company had no choice but to allow him to go in, or else they would look like they were denying Flair and the fans. Flair reportedly did not know that he was getting inducted but he publicly told fans he would be there “on stage” before a deal was signed that would allow him to appear.

Spike TV sources also note that there have also been a number of requests from the network end to keep Flair dressed and not have him near nude/in his wrestling gear and bleeding on TV at his age. There was even an order of arrest out for him if Flair did not pay the agreed settlement by a certain date. That order was issued because Flair had missed several agreed dates for payment of the settlement. The money was eventually paid and the NWA World title belt, which Highspots.com was holding as collateral, was seen displayed at WWE AXXESS this year. Most believe that WWE paid the debt and acquired the belt for their archive.

While it has not been confirmed, the word going around TNA this weekend was that Flair was finished with the company.

Unfortunately since leaving WWE, Flair has had several issues. He signed for a number of appearances with Ring of Honor, and then pulled out citing his relationship with WWE. Most feel that Flair realized ROH weren’t going to use Reid Flair following a drug arrest. When Flair didn’t pay back an advance given to him, ROH filed a lawsuit against him Flair also had issues with Highspots.com over money owed to them.

Eh, might as well spam the topic with interesting wrestling news.

Lilian Garcia and Justin Roberts had an argument in front of fans at last night's Over the Limit PPV after Garcia had problems with three ring introductions.

Garcia announced Sheamus' weight as 227 pounds instead of 267 pounds during the Fatal 4-Way match for the World Heavyweight Championship. She announced Hunico as Ryback's opponent just moments after Hunico said it would be Camacho wrestling. Michael Cole said he wasn't surprised by this mistake considering who said it. Garcia then mishandled the introductions for the Intercontinental Championship Match between Cody Rhodes and Christian.

Wrestling Observer editor Dave Meltzer said on Observer Radio: "Something happened between Lilian Garcia and Justin Roberts where Lilian stormed off—live crowd could see it. And it had something to do with her botching something. It was the ring announcement of the Cody Rhodes/Christian match and they were arguing and she stormed off, I know that."

She recently admitted that she made mistakes on an interview with The Sam Roberts Show. She said that while she gets comments from her co-workers, they don't make fun of her.
