  1. Return it if you're looking for a 9.6 CGC-graded book. Request a partial refund if you and the seller can agree upon its current condition and negotiate a cost that makes you feel 'whole'.
  2. "Primary Concerns: #1 Protection - #2 Preservation" At that point, only the cost of disposable income matters.
  3. It also proved that Tony Stark is Iron Man. As he says, "the suits - they're - a part of me..." So, while I've seen videos titled 'Why Doesn't Every Avenger Have an Iron Man Suit?', there are very few that can operate them and even fewer that can design/engineer a system like that (in fact, Stark is the only one that knew how to manufacturer the power source for these weapons). Iron Man 3 is a great Iron Man story, while not a great overall movie.
  4. Can anyone confirm current re-holder TAT? Plz and thank you.
  5. Wait a minute... Shouldn't coupons being clipped get the PLOD!? The pages were cut!
  6. This response is almost more confusing than the OP...
  7. Peter wanted to be with Liz, though, and if he didn't sacrifice his opportunities and go after her father his seemingly dream girl could've been his. That's a lasting consequence IMO. Results aren't everything (hence why "advanced metrics" in sports lead to awful players getting ridiculous contracts). Peter not sticking on the team resulted in them almost dying in the elevator at Washington D.C. Peter's path to responsibility has been at the core of every movie. Wants to do the 'right thing' and bring Cap in during Civil War. Wants to be an Avenger and take down Vulture to keep dangerous weapons off the streets. Wants to save Doctor Strange and the universe in Infinity War (going against his resolution in Homecoming). Just does hero stuff in Endgame. And, now, wanted to do the 'right thing' with EDITH by handing it over to who looked like the next Iron Man. Then asking for help, clearing his conscience, and fixing the biggest mistake he's made. Also, Peter's "holographic gauntlet" was him modifying the web-shooters in the Iron Spider suit. And Peter's response to AC/DC shows exactly how/why he isn't Iron Man lol. Of course Happy wants the kid to be like his deceased best friend. Tony did pick him for a reason. He isn't Iron Man - but he's the next genius-level active Avenger. I think that Marvel's trying to do 2 things, and I also think it's not confusing, if you clearly infer them: 1. Keep Iron Man's legacy alive thru Spider-Man. With tech and connections to Tony Stark. 2. Convey that Parker clearly is not Stark despite a lot of similarities. It's kinda like confusing Snickers and Milky Way. Similar qualities does not equal the same.
  8. I would never use Venmo for anything ever. I ordered custom original art from an artist via Venmo. Never received the art. Requested refund and denied. Chase Bank said that there is nothing that can be done because of the nature of the company.
  9. If ifs and buts were candy and nuts we'd all have a merry X-Mas... A lot of your debate points seem to be "if he did this" or "if he didn't do that". Well he did sacrifice time with Liz on the decathlon team, and homecoming prom, to take on Vulture. He made personal sacrifices to be Spider-Man. He made too many and it didn't work out. Mysterio seemingly was gonna make the ultimate sacrifice to 'kill' the 'fire elemental'. Who's the last guy he knew that did something like that? At first, he tried to embrace EDITH, and made near-deadly mistakes. He was trying to be responsible and 'do the right thing'. He knew a 16-year old kid shouldn't have that responsibility. Spider-Man isn't Iron Man and that was part of the point. EDITH belongs to an Iron Man. Ditching the idea that he's Stark's replacement helps define who he is. That's what the dialogue between he and Happy is all about. He was also trying to be responsible by keeping his friends, teachers and classmates, all out of danger. "It seems like I'm always putting them in danger". It seemed like that, because he was, by trying too hard to be an Avenger. We've seen both sides of the coin. I think it's incorrect to say that he isn't - or isn't trying to be - responsible. He's a 16-year old kid. He's learning.
  10. SPOILERS. Don't feel like tagging this... Considering that Mysterio defeated all 3 prior "elementals", and Fury (lied) told him to go back on his trip, I don't blame the 16-year old for wanting to have a normal summer for the first time in a few years. Spider-Man has always been about duality, too. He tried the whole "I wanna be an Avenger" and it didn't work. That was what Homecoming was all about. This time, he tried to do the opposite, and it didn't work out. "If you do nothing, and the bad things happen, they happen because of you." So, he knows that he has a responsibility. He thought it was responsible to give EDITH to Mysterio - the 3rd man in his life he thought he could look up to. Homecoming and Far From Home are the 2 extremes to the duality of Spider-Man and Peter Parker, respectively. I suspect that the 3rd movie will convey to us how he figures out the balance. It reminds me of Zack Snyder's Superman arc. Some people don't like it because he's not the Superman the world has known for 75 years. It was an origin that we needed - something fresh - that paid off (mostly) in Justice League. This trilogy looks headed in the same direction.
