@connorratliff.bsky.social Loved the show tonight! Sorry I did not get to stick around to say hi, had to head on back to Grand Central and now Westchester. But no worries, I am not now becoming a professional actor.

Bummed about it, kind of—so many people enjoyed it, I was excited to see something cool. But I was bored out of my mind.

Well, I didn’t enjoy that movie at all. Oh well.

But here is a bonus--a letter from the issue complaining that in the second half of issue 1, they made things too hard on Spider-Man. Already, it begins.

And Spidey stops in to see the Torch, whose flame has returned, to tell him not to bother catching Ock, and to confuse him. And that is the end of the first appearance of Doctor Octopus!

...He grabs the other two arms, webs up Ock's face, and then punches him out. It is sort of funny that Ock's regular human arms don't really count for anything, as they were free the whole time.

Spidey "Breaking Bad"s the situation, using science and chemistry as well as his physicality to take on Ock. Once he has two of the arms held together...

So Spidey gets back out there and...is able to dodge bolts of electricity, which presumably move at the speed of light. Later retcons that say his spider sense is kind of a precog thing can make this work.

Human Torch is giving a speech at Midtown high literally while he waits for his fire to like...recharge for a few days and he can go stop Ock. But he accidentally gives Spider-Man the pep talk he needs.

Peter sulking SO HARD that he's like "I failed at this and so I will never try to do anything ever again! So no photos ever anymore, JJJ!"
Second...May says he's been moping for hours...and then he says he has to go to school. High school, which starts at, what, 8am? He's been moping since 5am?

And he can easily unlock locked doors! So long as there is a big open grate above the door, you know, like they have at most secure door locations.

OK, this is great--Ock hiding on the ceiling and making his arms look like industrial piping. Really good stuff.

With the great power of Doctor Octopus, a second story window is practically a front door! Except it's still a little high, but he can climb a little if he needs to. And no one locks windows! Because who could ever reach them? It's the perfect plan!

Now we get Ock using his arms for things, and it's delightful because of how simple it is.
"Fences can't stop me!"
He's basically pulling a Stilt-Man at this point.

And there we go--Ock beat Spider-Man, the only foe to ever do so, and the issue is over, and Spider-Man retires forever. Wait, what's that--there is more issue left? Oh huh, who would have thought.
