Peter Parker doesn't have a leg to stand on in this argument. Dude literally figured out how to synthesize spider silk in large quantities, which is one of the most sought after discoveries in materials science. Then he just uses it to swing around New York City and tie up bad guys. All his money woes would be over with just one licensing deal with Oscorp. His best friend even runs the company so he could stipulate how they use it

He is opening up many "spiderman web cleanup" jobs tho.

[-] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

I thought canon was that the webs disintegrate pretty fast.

Spidey in the next panel: "Can the dinosaurs get cancer?"

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 66 points 2 days ago

I used to think I would be like Spiderman if I had powers/money/genius tech but I changed my mind after seeing this panel.

I also want to turn people into dinosaurs.

[-] theneverfox@pawb.social 23 points 2 days ago

Honestly? Cancer is already getting cured, but no one will be able to afford it

But dinosaur people? Have fun refusing them or their families healthcare

Maybe turning people into dinosaurs is the morally superior option

[-] Kolanaki@pawb.social 13 points 2 days ago

"We're not refusing you because of payment obligations; we simply do not know enough about dinosaurs to medically help them!"

tail lashes in agitation, destroying rows of waiting room furniture

"Please doctor, you have to try!"

No, yeah.. I get it.

[-] kata1yst@sh.itjust.works 30 points 2 days ago

To be fair, the people who turn into dinosaurs don't have cancer anymore.

[-] railway692@piefed.zip 28 points 2 days ago

It's one of those "Would you press the button" questions.

You become cancer-free.

BUT

You turn into a dinosaur.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

I'm pressing that button even if I don't have cancer.

[-] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 10 points 2 days ago

Sorry, cancer is a prerequisite for dinosaurification.

[-] Alcoholicorn@mander.xyz 8 points 2 days ago

googles cheap airfare to Chernobyl

[-] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

Cigarette prices have really gotten nuts these days.

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

I'm still doing it. I'll probably get cancer anyways because of bad choices and genetics. At least then I can use my dinosaur powers for good until I get killed by the government.

[-] TeamAssimilation@infosec.pub 1 points 1 day ago

Speaking of nefarious government actions; is it still cannibalism if your DNA is that of a dinosaur now?

Imagine the money from rich people eating dinosaur steaks.

[-] PugJesus@piefed.social 27 points 2 days ago

Man has to know what he wants

[-] Snapz@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

These dinosaurs... cancer free?

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

I mean... He's not killing anyone or hating anyone. He just turns people into dinosaurs. I wouldn't hate being a dinosaur.

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago

I don't think he's getting consent...

[-] P00ptart@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Uhhh no villain ever gets consent for their plans? So if that's the only base, this is the least villainous villain ever.

[-] qarbone@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

I think non-consensually modifying people's bodies (and minds, because who knows how a human mind maps on to a dinosaur brain) is pretty top-shelf villainy. People have body dysmorphia over body shapes human normally have. Toss on leathery skin or scales, and people will be offing themselves if there's no fix.

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

Think about the villain from Wonderwoman 1984. He got consent (in the form of wishes) all the way.

[-] Endmaker@ani.social 16 points 2 days ago

But pterodactyl isn't a dinosaur...

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 18 points 2 days ago

Is he turning people into pterodactyls? Just because he is, possibly because of his own machinations, doesn't mean he's turning others into pterodactyls.

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Maybe he's lashing out because someone else turned him into a pterosaur when he wanted to be a dinosaur.

[-] certified_expert@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Excuse me, good sir/madam. What?

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

Pterodactyl is a pterosaur, not a dinosaur

[-] certified_expert@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

TIL!

Are there other animals in that category?

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

If it has or recently (evolutionarily speaking) had wings, it's a pterosaur; there are several that look close enough to pterodactyls that they get lumped together in media. 'pterosaur' is literally 'winged lizard'

[-] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

That one that looks like a lizard with a giant sail on its back wasn't a dinosaur either.

[-] EJEJEJ@kbin.earth 14 points 2 days ago
[-] Endmaker@ani.social 12 points 2 days ago

Wish granted.

You are now a chicken.

[-] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 9 points 2 days ago

Sauron always has clear goals.

[-] Dojan@pawb.social 9 points 2 days ago

I don’t see how these are equal. Also, they’re clearly both a dinosaur and a person.

And I think I’d prefer to be turned into a dinosaur, too.

[-] YoiksAndAway@piefed.zip 7 points 2 days ago

Por que no los dos?

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

Judging by the state of the world today .... I think it's a better idea to turn people into dinosaurs than in curing cancer

[-] phx@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Corporate execs: "is there a way we can speed up the process of turning them into oil after that? After all, dinosaurs don't have human rights because they're not human"

[-] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 4 points 2 days ago

That's exactly how dna works. /s

[-] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yes.

This is a comic book about a dude called:

[-] qualia@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Your tag seems to suggest that there aren't genetic predispositions to certain cancers (e.g. BRCA1 for breast cancer). A better criticism might be "that's not how cancer works" since every cancer type is essentially a separate disease. Cheers.

[-] abbadon420@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

No its more about the dinosaur thing.

[-] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 days ago

Something something tech company CEOs

[-] workerONE@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

This looks familiar. What comic is it from??

[-] Metostopholes@midwest.social 4 points 2 days ago

Spider-Man and the X-Men #2 from 2015.

[-] whotookkarl@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 days ago

That whole crossover run was pretty great and not very long either
