Peni Parker is an example of getting more popular only because she appeared in a movie, which I don't mind. It's funny that compared to Spider-Gwen, who became popular after one issue of Edge of Spider-Verse and then afterwards got an entire comic run about her before she appeared in Into the Spider-Verse, Peni Parker only appeared in one issue of Edge of Spider-Verse and got another story focus on her in one issue of Edge of Spider-Geddon near the release of Into the Spider-Verse. You would think Peni Parker would have her own comic run, like the other Spider-People from the movie, but she only made two major appearance before jumping into the big screen. I hope after her appearance in Marvel Rivals we will finally get a comic run focus on Peni Parker.
Its funnier when you think the sheer number of characters introduced as hype/gimmick productions (Robin famously but like, most capes) sometimes to the point they sometimes overshadow the publication they initially showed up. Its like, yes thats basic marketing. Its why weirdos complaining "X or Y is just from some random recent game" like yeah that how characters start?
Agreed the main comics version has like 3 comics set in her world the 2 edge of comics then a s issue of Spider-Verse mini series with Miles going to her world. I'd live a mini series for her like they did for Spider-Punk
Having only seen Peni Parker from Into the Spiderverse, I had no idea that there were those connections to MCR and Evangelion. But even just from seeing these stills it’s super clear that those are the inspirations and that’s super interesting, I never would have thought to combine those but they actually play off each other really well. There’s certainly a large aspect of “with great power there must also be great responsibility” in Evangelion. So thanks for covering this!
The whole reason for her redesign in Marvel Rivals was because they don't want you brutally beating down or killing a kid in T-rated game... Also, the implications of model usage for "fan projects". Plus, like most of the Asian Marvel heroes in the cast, very malleable since they have no major lore to pull from, so make up some more!
The first line of this video and the fact that Peni has low key become my main in Rivals has implanted in me an intense desire to read these comics. Also that she gets a proper solo run like Gwen.
I love how Peni Parker is slowly getting more popular. And while her universe is basically a rip-off of Evangelion, it still kinda works. I hope to see her in more future projects.
Wow, Peni’s _entire_ origin is a huge Evangelion reference. The bonding with a mech, the forced responsibility, the villains she faces, the organization she works with, it’s all an homage to Evangelion. Nando, I really recommend watching Evangelion, you’ll notice just how much is taken! (It’s also a very good show.)
I been watching this channel awhile,and I’m always interested in learning about the various characters that come to marvel snap,unfortunately with the game not doing so well with the community I hope this channel continues to deep dive into many marvel characters including obscure ones we would scratch our head learning about
The focus of this isn't really the Snap content but just to answer the question, yes, Sebastian Shaw does indeed get buffed by merging with other cards. I assume it'd work with Symbiote Spider-Man as well.
love this series and video!! is there a video like this for illyana? been obsessed since the movie and only know her lore thru wiki but wish anya and daphne get their own spinoff
Can you please do a video on magick? She’s my favorite marvel character her history backstory powers and abilities and also the actress who plays her in the new mutants movie anya Taylor-Joy is very pretty.
Watching this is so fucking funny if you already know the character & their source material. I remember being convinced to watch Evangelion years ago, and walking away from it blown away. Then, much later, rewatching spider-verse before the sequel, and thinking to myself "it'd be interesting to read through the origin of some of the characters." Oh boy~ Peni's class mates were an immediately funny reference to what so clearly inspired the character, and then I turned the page. Every single time I did I was like "oh, so it's *just* Evangelion"... and yeah. It's practically Eva-Abridged. The story beats are shy of identical, even down to Minato/Daredevil being a kinda weirdly manipulative authority over Shinji/Peni, hoping to convince them to pilot the Unit/Mech. Hell, if you wanna get really fucking granular about it, having Peni peer into the multiverse with the promise to join a community of people like her VERY LOOSELY mirrors the ending of Evangelion Rebuilt. **What the stories choose to focus on are dramatically different, and one is much more psychological than the other, but it's funny that the events that take place are so damn similar.**
There's one more Peni related comic Spider-verse # 3 It's a series with Miles looking for Annie and being sent to different universes, so there's a whole issue with Peni and has her fight her worlds Kraven . It seems to be overlooked out of the 3 main comics in her universe
Funny you compare the way the Venom mech works with Pacific Rim, becuase that was also copying Evangelion. The mech absorving them is also taken straight from Eva.
I was scrolling through all the skins and saw Sword Master and thought it was crazy that they'd make a skin for a character that was a totally different person. Then I felt real dumb when I found out that Sword Master also was the Iron Fist, and that his costume looks WAY more like the Iron Fist in Rivals.
1:08 I thought a character looked like Asuka but this is blatant. That's just the cast of Evangelion. I'm not even sure if "legally distinct" applies xD (not a critique, references are fine)
This might be a silly question but is Peni related to Peter or is she a Peter replacement in her universe I’m still new to Peni and I’m just trying to understand how she fits in universe wise
Question: is the mech equally as alive/sentient as the spider inside it? The scene of the mech being destroyed in Into the Spiderverse was upsetting for my wife because even though the spider inside was fine, it seemed like the lovable mech was destroyed and just replaced with a new one. I figure this comment section would be filled with people who are better versed in comics than me and could help fill this gap in my knowledge
Idk about the comics, but in the movie it seems pretty clear that the spider is like the operating system of the robot, so basically it is the "soul" of the robot, so recovering that means the one that shows up in across the spiderverse is the same robot in a different body.
Nando, the writer is pretty well known to normies, but the artist is pretty cool too. Jake Wyatt is an EP on My Adventures with Superman. The OG creative team was nothing but talent
She was "officially" Spider-Woman in her initial debut, and she's "officially" Spider-Woman in Spider-Verse, but she's generally been marketed as Spider-Gwen because there are already lots of Spider-Women. Nowadays she's been given the title of Ghost Spider, which I think it cool because it distinguishes her from the other spiders while still being something she can use in-universe.
I own this comic and I never realized Peni’s classmates are Shinji, Asuka, Rei, and Kaworu from Evangelion. That’s a great detail
I’ve heard that Simon from Gurren Lagann also appears as one of her classmates, haven’t gotten around to looking myself though.
@@captaincomic8678 He is, you can see him in that panel with Peni looking out the window
This makes me wanna read the comic even more
I don't see it
Peni might be an asian girl in a mech, but Bruce Banner is a DVA at heart
Marvel Rivals reference for others who don't get it.

Pls just do all the marvel rivals characters plz
Don't worry, he absolutely is going to. He's eating good with Rivals content. Did he do a Jeff vid yet?
I can’t wait for him to talk about the most obscure Marvel Rivals character, Spider-man.
@@natagu5794 I would unironically like to see him do recaps of all the popular marvel characters in Rivals, it could be fun!
"who is spider-man?"
@@JaredBruneri think this is his second or even first
Peni Parker lowkey underrated glad she's getting love in Marvel Rivals

Whoever decided to spell peni that way did not consider at all pluralizing or the possessive version of the name and how it would look.
Ah yes Peni's SP//dr

jeff next please mr nando
Another banger video🎉 what books to look for and read is the best part. I love finding the comic books Snap variants are from
Please do Cloak and Dagger! Maining them but no clue who tf they are
They have a whole cloak and dagger show on Disney plus
@@erickrodriguez2813 I rather watch this guy do a video on it than get disney plus and watch a whole show cus im lazy but thanks anyway mann
I love her so much we need to see more of her
Always look and love these videos from you
Perfect for packing for my apartment move!
Finally getting Nando to talk about some more of the 2099-verse
0:37 Peni just casually chillin with Simon and Asuka
The focus of this isn't really the Snap content but just to answer the question, yes, Sebastian Shaw does indeed get buffed by merging with other cards. I assume it'd work with Symbiote Spider-Man as well.
I would love to see more of penni parker, I wish that at some point she gets a show/movie/comic run
Gerard way actually went to school for comics lol
She's one of my favourite characters in the Marvel Champions Card Game
If you have a spare hour or so, the lore entries in Marvel Rivals are a fun read.
love this series and video!! is there a video like this for illyana? been obsessed since the movie and only know her lore thru wiki but wish anya and daphne get their own spinoff

Nando. Please do a video series about you getting into anime. I would love to watch someone coming to it with no nostalgia for the medium.
Would definitely love to see that too
Nice to have rival stuff too
Keep these up. Love learning this stuff. So strange that the lead singer of MCR invented a beloved comic character lol
More... MORE
PLS do Lin Lie iron fist 🙏
I was scrolling through all the skins and saw Sword Master and thought it was crazy that they'd make a skin for a character that was a totally different person.
Then I felt real dumb when I found out that Sword Master also was the Iron Fist, and that his costume looks WAY more like the Iron Fist in Rivals.
@8:00. “It’s *supposed* to be fun” 😂
Hey Nando! Couls you please do one of this videos for Cassie Lang/Stature please?
1:43 also like the plot to Evangelion!
Respectfully he literally said it in the first 10 seconds lmfao
I’m sure they will make a Spiderverse skin for Peni in Marvel Rivals. And I’m sure I will buy it because she’s my favorite tank!
Gunn please we need a Game where we can put everyone in like this, i would love a video like this about anyone, like, Superman earth 2 Val zod or smth
1:08 I thought a character looked like Asuka but this is blatant. That's just the cast of Evangelion. I'm not even sure if "legally distinct" applies xD
(not a critique, references are fine)
This might be a silly question but is Peni related to Peter or is she a Peter replacement in her universe

More marvel rivals!!!
For the love of god watch Evangelion!
"GET IN THE EVA SHINJI!!"

and you guess what, her cosmetic skin is purple color EVA01
pls do Mantissss!!! S2 S2 S2
OK FINE IM GUNNA SUBSCRIBE. Lol
have you done magik? you should
Nando, the writer is pretty well known to normies, but the artist is pretty cool too. Jake Wyatt is an EP on My Adventures with Superman. The OG creative team was nothing but talent
Get good nando....
I dont give a single fucc about this character and I love that you made a video about her
I think Spider Gwen is just Spider-woman now (which she always should’ve been imo, but whatever)
O think she’s called ghost slider a much better name
She was "officially" Spider-Woman in her initial debut, and she's "officially" Spider-Woman in Spider-Verse, but she's generally been marketed as Spider-Gwen because there are already lots of Spider-Women. Nowadays she's been given the title of Ghost Spider, which I think it cool because it distinguishes her from the other spiders while still being something she can use in-universe.
