😲we’re talking comics??? Lemme chime in!
cletus kasady is a real bad boy, a very, very bad boy. Probably worse than bad, it makes him contrast really well with Eddie. Eddie gradually shifted into a pseudo antihero as marvel comics kept going, his Cletus remained a huge arsehole, it’s actually a little refreshing that despite how the two big comic book heads constantly try to maintain some hint of grey morality, Kasady is just here being an unapologetic freak, I love it.

And yes I gotta second the ‘94 cartoon, it was my first proper exposure to the marvel mythos, it definitely helped shape my expectations and wants out of a marvel story. It’s great. 😁

Think Iam back ?

@Yousef- 😲we’re talking comics??? Lemme chime in!

• I had to do some Spiderman research, the games only explain so much. Batman was the same, I read about twenty graphic novels after the Arkham games, and I'm through two already for Spiderman. Once I finish Spiderman 2 I'll read Kraven's Last Hunt. It seems to be highly recommended. I've read a couple of Marvel reference books too, those Carnage ones are turning out to be very good.

@Th3solution Something else I remembered about your original question on Metro/it's cultural accuracy. The logo with the M and the factions who use it. The батальон Спарта (Sparta Battalion) They took the logo and incorporated it into their own insignias. Gamers in Eastern Europe had that tattoo, now they are barred from entering Ukraine because Sparta are an active unit. The writer of the novel wasn't much pleased either. I saw it today and remembered, in the game it's the Spartan Rangers. I don't know any other units who've done that other than the obvious Punisher skull but the American military have also used it. The game's imagery definitely had an impact on military too. The general consensus is that it means military first and gamer second.
