I like the way the main thesis is exposed, in this article, with a lot of comic pages to support it. And the conclusion is succinct and covers, both the artistic and the internal coherence side of the story, good job. Let me just add anyone wanting to nit-pick on the improbability of this fight going Spidey's way really needs to first question why any fight with the Kingpin was not over with a single punch landed to Fisk's fat head. Or many other villains who did not have super-strength, including Ock----theoretically, once you got past his arms, a single punch should have taken him out. Ah, the belief we must suspend if we are to enjoy a good comic! Actually, the better the comic, the less of disbelief we have to suspend; Spider-Man beating Firelord, the very same month he got trashed by sin-eater (basically a guy on drugs) was paradoxical to say the least. Someone already pointed to the real issue, writers mess up power levels all the time. When you mix characters of different levels in a fight you have two options: - You work hard to make for an interesting battle even when one of them has the upper hand.
- You just ignore the difference and come up with whatever excuse suits you right at the moment for they to seem even.
Usually, we get the second approach, but from time to time we get something like "Nothing Can Stop The Juggernaut". In the case of the Kingpin, "Back in Black" would be an example of option 1.
Someone who enjoys comics where the same character is totally trashed, or holds his ground, depending on what side of the bed they got up in the morning, are suspending disbelief and, either being forgetful, or disregarding any degree of internal logic. |
